BEWARE !! the iDVD Program may not work

2008-06-26
This iLife 08 application is probably great if you're running Leopard..... which I am not..... I have Tiger 10.4.11 ..... i purchased my new iMac desktop in October 07' and it came with Tiger and iLife 08 programs previously installed at the Apple factory. I recently went to use my iDVD program and it will simply not work at all..... Apple's Tech Reps have tried and tried to help me over the phone but nothing will make it work on my new computer.... I have spent hours and hours on this problem and finally one of the Apple Tech Reps admitted to me that iDVD 08 works best with the Leopard platform which it was basically designed for..... I have now ordered a new iLife 06 program for $79 plus tax, which they assure me will work fine on my 2007 computer..... If this is what it takes to get an iDVD program to work, then i think that I should not have to pay for the iLife application twice..... but I had to..... Apple has not heard the last from me about this issue..... we'll see....

It runs well under OS 10.5.3

I got this version because my older version would not run under OS 10.5.3. It does that and runs flawlessly. I mostly wanted iDVD for a project but the other apps are nice to have. I've produced a DVD of pix I took at a family wedding which has been greatly appreciated by both sides of the family. I'm not into video but needed a way to have people look at the pix without a computer. It does that quite easily. I highly recommend it.

Yes I was really pleased with the product and the shipping. The only problem I had was, when I was trying to get in touch with the company to see the details on my shipping and I could get in touch with the company of my other order but not this one but It was not a big deal but if it was I would not be very happy.

GREAT!

Does what I wanted.

I was looking for a program for Mac that could create DVD slideshows from slides and prints. iLife '08 does just that and more. I am very pleased with iPhoto and iDVD. Editing in iPhoto is easy, and the "Ken Burns Effects" add interest to your slideshow. It allows you to select various transitions in your slide show, and I added a soundtrack from iTunes (latest version is also downloaded automatically) and theme video from iDVD. You can also chose to have the run of the slideshow determined by the length of your soundtrack, so they fit perfectly! The help tutorials on Apple Help are supportive and easy to follow, plus more specific scripted help is also useful. I only gave it 4*s because I can't speak to the other programs in the package yet. (My computer doesn't have enough memory for iMovie 08, but in loading the software, it knew that and let me download the 06 version at no extra charge.) So if you're a Mac user looking to turn those old photos and slides into digital archives, iLife will do the job! (Note:If you're going to burn your DVD with your Mac, use DVD-Rs!)

I bought this product primarily for the update to iPhoto, but I do use iWeb as well. I like both, they are well conceived and easy to use. So far, I have not used the other 3, but I had to buy them to get iPhoto.

iLife products even better

2008-07-20
I've been a Mac owner and developer since 1985 and have experienced a lot of Apple software in those years. I've used the iLife suite for several years and iLife '08 is the best yet. Just about everything you could want and they're easy to learn and use.

making a good-looking photo album a breeze

2008-07-20
I purchased iLife '08 and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to compose a photo album that allows you to drop your photos into previously arranged pages, as well as add copy (picture captions and commentary) to some of the pages. The results are truly professional. The software enables the user to select a background for the photos on a given page, as well as the number of pictures you want to appear on the pages. Printing fees for the finished album are reasonable. Send electronically your completed design to Apple, which will ship you a great-looking version of your photo album within a matter of days. You will be pleased to show the results (you can order more than one copy) to friends and relatives. Calendars and greeting cards also can be produced with the iLife software.

APPLE iLIFE 08 is AWESOME!

I Purchashed through Amazon and got a Great price.

I had heard alot about the new features in iPHOTO, and when I saw how many new adjustments were added for photo editing, I knew I had to buy iLIFE 08.

I am quite happy with it. I used to shoot mainly JPEG photos, but now I am shooting RAW format, and iLIFE is wonderful for editing those as well as other formats.

Very user friendly, everything that comes with iLIFE is improved to the MAX.

Any Mac owner who doesn't have iLIFE 08 SHOULD REALLY purchase this version. I run OS 10.4.11 and it runs smoooooth. Very happy with this purchase.

A mixed bag - but overall good

2008-06-28
iPhoto - Fabulous upgrade - the best and easiest way to manage and work with photos.
iMovie - Truly a disappointment. It could have been so much better, but bugs and terrible export quality from DV ruined the product.
iWeb - Not much of an upgrade, but welcome nonetheless.
iDVD - Worked fast and well when needed. Burns so quickly that it saved my skin on a couple occasions so overall very happy.
GarageBand - Minor upgrades, I don't really use it expect for podcasts so I don't notice much at all.

Overall, there is some good (iPhoto, iDVD) and some bad (iMovie), which overall means its a 4-star rating to upgrade.
