looks like my mbp has ilife 08

well, didnt come preinstalled but there was a dvd package with the mbp to install it. doing that now btw ordered my mbp on umm about 25-27 july and it shipped out on the 8 aug

 

I ordered mine the 26th (It shipped on the 8th) and I too got ilife 08 . My lappy just arrived about a half hour ago but I have to go and help my mom set up her classroom

 

lol same here on the half hour ago, all I got is today to mes with it cause I am going to be working 12's this weekend but got most of today to mess with it

 

Congrats on your new MacBook Pro and getting iLife '08. Tell us your initial impressions when you get the chance!

 

I received my MBP on the 4th so it sadly didn't have iLife 2008 but when I called Apple they said they were going to ship it to me for free! Looking at the status page it appears that it'll ship today.

 

Nukey, how did you get them to do that? I didn't get mine until the 7th, so I should be able to convince them to ship it to me for free too.

 

well first impression is dang nice job, the packaging impressed the hell out of me, and opened to scren to see that there where no dead pixels or discoloration and it included ilife 08 I am pritty impresed right now, but I cant really give any good idea till I have more time to play with it

only thing bugging me is the track pad, I am used to having the click drag (duble tap hold an drag with th pad ) but it releases it wierd, I have to let go of the pad for way to long for it to release the item from "drag" and it dosnt auto slow move if I reach the end of the pad while draging something so it makes pad only draging a pain in the but. but not that big of a deal, just got to use regular click draging.


also is there a way to let me use thefar right side of the pad to scroll in windows ?

 

You can do a 360-multidirectional scroll by placing one finger on the touchpad, and then dragging another in the direction you want to scroll in.

 

sweet
thanks for the info

 

Did it detect and upgrade / remove iLife 06 automatically?

 

Congrats! lucky lol
I'm stuck with a dell

 

Yea, kind of sucks. I suddenly had the urge to use GarageBand and don't feel like paying another $70

Ah well I'll live with it.

 

Oh sweet! I didn't check the discs that came with my MBP. I also ordered on July 25th. Hopefully one of the discs has it. Was it on a disc by itself? Or bundled with other applications?

 

it was on a disk by itself

 

Can't you just use iLife 06?

 

I deleted it to free up space

 

yeah lol ilife 06 works fine

garageband is a great tool. garageband 08 has to be a minor update at most.

(using logic express)

but i still use garageband sometimes just because its a great simple tool.

 

ya been busy, it was a disk by it self and it upgraded the existing i life, I dont know if it can install normaly cause I have not tried.

btw stupid wuestion but how do I uninstall progys ?

Thanks

 

Its as simple as dragging the application to the Trash. Voila! Uninstalled.

Although that method will usually leave some preferences or folders behind. These files won't bother you nor will they distract any application from running properly, but they do take up hard drive space. I recommend using AppDelete (a free third-party program) to uninstall applications. AppDelete will uninstall the program as well as files related to the program, and leave them in the Trash. However check over the files quickly before emptying the trash; AppDelete does a quick name scan over your system so you don't want a critical file deleted because its name was related to an application you were deleting.

 

Yes, you can install from scratch from the disc as well.

 

This is great to hear! I ordered mine on the 5th, so hopefully mine will have '08 too. Not that I'm really going to use all of the features, but hey...still useful!
