danbalsh Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53980 I was wondering when this was going to happen :huh: bit of a shame really but $49 for iLife '04 is very reasonable I think.

aristotle-dude Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 There will be no free update to 2004 for those who bought iLife before but it will be free with any new macs. I'm not sure if updates on the existing individual apps will be free but I would venture to guess that you will only be able to get Garage band with iLife 2004 or later.

patseguin Global Moderator Posted January 7, 2004 Global Moderator Share Posted January 7, 2004 All the Mac news sites are stating that these apps will no longer be free downloads, with the exception of iTunes. I personally don't mind because it is great software and $49 is a real bargain. I never really understood why Apple made it free in the first place.

You first give free candy to children then when they come back for more you charge them. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Patriot Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I'm just going to hold my judgement on this till I hear something official from Apple. After all, they have always sold iLife seperately for those not wanting to bother downloading it, why would that change now? I'll just wait till the new versions are released and see if they show up in Software Update. And by the way Wickedkitten, your avatar is not showing up today.

seen_xu Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 how many guys out there will pay for the new ilife 04? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 7, 2004 I can get it for $25, so yeah, I'll buy it. I'm technically a government employee, but not like Apple checks that you're *actually* a government employee when ordering... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Patriot Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 I am waiting to see if the apps that I would use (iMovie, iPhoto, and iTunes) are going to be free updates or not. I don't have a DVD recorder, and I'm not all that interested in making music, so I don't have any use for Garage Band or iDVD, but the others look nice. I could get it at the student price anyway, but even that is more expensive than free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 how many guys out there will pay for the new ilife 04? I would pay for GarageBand alone. I'm definitely getting iLife '04 when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 8, 2004 government employee? i thought they only gave individual discounts? where do you see government? Yeah, that's what I mean. It's $25 for individual purchase by a gov. employee. And they don't check if you're a gov. employee from what I'ev heard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isus Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 lol timdorr. when i get a mac more powerful than a 500mhz ibook, i'll see what i need, and then buy it... our school has been getting 900mhz g3 ibook's lately... they have a special image so only 9.2 is on them. i got jaguar for free through a teacher's program (my father is a counselor at my school). otherwise, i'll just wait until i get my g5 powerbook this summer ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerosignull Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 As long as they publish free bugfixes like they do with the O/S then it is a very good proce for two very usefull peaces of software. Itunes will never becom pay for software. Not only would that help kill of the ITMS it would also give on hell of a good reason not to change to a mac.
