Will a Refurbished iBook come with iLife '06?

I am looking into a refurb iBook. Has anyone recently purchased one and if so, does it come with iLife '06?
Thom

Hi John,
After reviewing the policies and doing some research,
the refurbished iBooks are not mentioned. Apple
considers their refurbished products as good as new
for the most part, but you will find your iBook does
not fall in the the qualifying family part numbers. I
suggest that you call Apple or go to your local Apple
Store and see what they will do. I am sorry if I
mislead anyone, there is nothing regarding
refurbished computers in the policy.
Here's an update:
I called Apple customer service last week to ask if my refurb iBook qualified for iLife up-to-date. The person I talked to spoke to his supervisor who said that refurbs didn't qualify because they were "used." I mentioned that some posters in this forum who ordered refurbs were getting iLife '06 either installed or on a separate DVD. So he put in an order for me, attaching it to my original iBook web order (to verify that it was purchased after iLife '06 was released). I just received it today, no charge.
So score 1 for the squeaky wheel!

  • Will LEOPARD come with iLife '08 pre-installed

    Does anyone know if Mac OS X v10.5 come with iLife '08 on it or will you still have to buy and upgrade from iLife '06?? Also, do the current Tiger models that are out right now have iLife '08 on them???

    Does anyone know if Mac OS X v10.5 come with iLife '08 on it or will you still have to buy and upgrade from iLife '06??
    It is doubtful. iLife 08 is a separate program sold separately.

    If you buy it from Apple it should come with it now. If you buy from a distributer there is a chance it is not. You would qualify for the update price.

  • Do the Refurbished Products come with software

    Do the refurbished products come with Leopard and iLife '08

    I've checked the current offerings today and all have the mentioned software is in place. When you see the list of Refrbished MacBooks, click +learn more+ and they are listed in the far right column. [HERE|http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID? nplm=FB063LL/B] is an example. Scroll down the page focusing on the right column to see that Leopard and iLife '08 are included.

  • I got my new macbook pro 2012 but there's no idvd it should come with ilife but i didn't found it how could i install it

    i got my new macbook pro  os x version 10.7.4 processor 2.4 GHz Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 2012 but there's no idvd it should come with ilife but i didn't found it how could i install it thanks

    Apple no longer distributes iDVD.
    1) Buy an old iLife from a place such as e-bay or Amazon.  Make sure it is a version that has iDVD.  Do not buy it from Apple since their version no longer has iDVD.
    2) Try a third party application (none really have the features of iDVD though).
    Burn (free) - http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/Pages/English/home.html - includes basic DVD authoring but you will definitely have to read the documentation.
    Easily Burn Movies to a DVD without Apple's iDVD. - http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/easily_burn_movies_to_a_dvd_without_apples_idvd. html - directions for using Burn to make a TV DVD.  Note, Burn also has a separate application which lets you do more fancy menus.

  • SL upgrade come with iLife too?

    I just got a new mac air and 10$ upgrade is coming in. DOes anyone know if I will get the iLife upgrade in that (iPhoto etc.)? Thanks

    If you have a new Mac you already have the latest iLife.
    Snow Leopard does not come with iLife for your $10 upgrade
    There is no upgrade for iLife, iLife 09 just came out the beginning of this year.
    When you install Snow Leopard it will upgrade the OS, and your applications will still be there.

    I would doubt it as Mavericks was only released a few days ago. Check under About This Mac and it will tell you what OSX it is running.

  • Do refurbished iPhones come with iOS4?

    Does anyone know what firmware refurbished iPhones come with? Without being updated just factory settings right out of the refurb box. Thanks!

    If you get them from Apple now, they will most likely come with 5.0 or 5.0.1. There may still be a few in the channel with older firmware installed, but I doubt it.

  • Does a new MBP come with iLife?

    Does a new Macbook pro come with iLife? I'm specifically looking for iPhoto and Garage Band. I just ordered it today. Do I have to add it on or does it come with it? I got iWorks preinstalled.

    Yes, the full iLife '09 suite (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iWeb, and Garage Band) is preloaded, and also on Install DVD 2 that will come with the MBP.

  • Mac didn't come with iLife!

    I just bought my MacBook Pro on Sunday from Virgin Megastores and it didn't come with iLife and I did my research and it says that it should have come with it! What should I do? Should I take it back and tell them that it didn't come with it? Because now it's making me pay for each of them and they're really expensive!

    If Virgin promised to include what used to be the iLife apps, they should have given you a code which you then enter in the App Store to download and install the apps free of charge. So, you might want to contact them again, indeed.

  • Is Tiger retail 10.4 install DVD suposed to come with ilife?

    Hi,
    Just bought a secondhand version of retail 10.4. Tiger to install on my Powerbook, G4 1.33ghz (only 1 GB RAM as other RAM doesn't work) - as i wanted a better imovie and garageband performance than my panther ones. I have installed it and was under the impression that it was 'all in' like on panther, but there isn't any ilife! Even tho the manual talks about it as if they were part of the package. Have i been ripped off? should there have been abother disc in the box or does it just NOT come with ilife?! I tried to open the panther install discs so that i could get the old garageband etc but it seems like i have to install oSX 10.3. to get to the apps...I'm so lost- is there anything i can do or do i have to go and buy an ilife from 2005/6 - if so what do i look for? and is it worth it?!
    Thanks

    Have i been ripped off?
    No.
    should there have been abother disc in the box or does it just NOT come with ilife?
    It doesn't come with iLife except for the free iTunes.
    I tried to open the panther install discs so that i could get the old garageband etc but it seems like i have to install oSX 10.3. to get to the apps
    Mac OS X 10.3 retail doesn't include GarageBand. If those disks came with the PowerBook, perform a custom installation of it.

  • Do new macbooks come with iLife 06 or 08???

    Now, from the conference today, it sounded like they said all new macs would come with iLife 08, but I go on to purchase the macbook, and see it still says 06.
    Am I missing something, or am I wrong, and it does not include macbooks?
    Message was edited by: Mig!

    I just bought my first mac, a macbook pro, yesterday, at an apple store. The mac came with Tiger pre-installed and a drop-in disc of Leopard. Bundled with the Leopard disc were two other discs: OS disc 1 and 2. I had two install options with the Leopard: upgrade or clean. I chose clean because, well, it was a new computer so I figured there was nothing to save from the older OS. After install, I did not have any ilife features or the iwork trial. After lots of reading of postings on the discussion board, I finally figured out that these did not come w/Leopard as I had expected and that by choosing "clean", I erased the previous ilife versions.
    I put in the extra OS disc 1, figured out that these were the Tiger OS discs, then chose bundled install package, selected only the ilife features(iweb, imovie, etc.) and the iwork '08 trial. I wasn't sure what I would get as far as the ilife features...if these would be ilife '08 or not. This install went fast. After install, I opened up the installed ilife applications and they were all ilife '08 versions. My mac was bought in Portland, OR, US.
    I've seen all the posts that new macs would come with ilife '08 installed, and assumed that meant it would be there as part of the Leopard install. As a newbie to mac, I didn't really get what all this meant. I hope this clarifies for new mac users how to handle the Leopard/new mac/ilife '08 issue.

  • Does my new macbook air come with ilife (SandyBridge i7)?

    Just bought a new mac and was wondering if my new macbook air come with ilife (SandyBridge i7)?
    No CD's in the box... Do I just download it from the Appstore?
    I thought it would at least come with the Air I just bought...
    Thanks in advance...

    According to Apple, your new MBA should include iLife: iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. The user guide says they should be on the system.  Systems that come with Lion no longer include OS X DVD's.

  • Why didnt my recently bought open box macbook pro come with ilife?

    I bought an open box macbook pro, and for some wierd reason it didnt come with ilife...can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

    I would take it back to Best Buy - 'open box' or not, the machine should have come with the iLife applications. They likley just reinstalled to OS, which does not install the iLife applications. Return it and tell them that you need iLife - it's up to the reseller to prepare the machine correctly for resale.
