comic life?

[zombieprom]

so finally got my new macbook pro in (hoorah!) but i don't see comic life on here anywhere. am i missing something? i thought it was included in all macs. did this stop?

[psychofreak]

Not all Macs come with it, some come with Quicken etc. :)

[lancestraz]

The "pro" Macs don't have it. Only the "consumer" Macs.

awww man. oh wells, guess i'll grab it from plasq's site.

[klymr]

My MacBook Pro came with it.

My Macbook Pro had comic life loaded on it....

[zombieprom]

it would be in the applications folder, right? i did a search and nothing came up. i dl'ed it so i've got the trial...where could it be?

[bluefiberoptics]

That's strange...

I love Comic Life. A great program that lets anyone become creative.

I've heard of Mac Pros coming without Comic Life, but with Graphic Converter instead.

Sounds like it. ;)

Sounds like it. ;)

Yeah cause my macbook pro came withit pre-installed too lol. Maybe you should give them a call?

My old MBP came with it (Core Duo), my new one (SR) didn't.

WEIRD...

My SR MBP came with Comic life. My HD failed last week, and I took it to an apple store... got it back and no Comic Life. Or even iPhoto, or a lot of other stuff.

But I've got a .dmg image they recovered from the old hard drive, so reinstalling that stuff was a simple drag and drop from the old Applications folder to the new one.

[Andrmgic]

If normal macbooks come with it too, I'll have to check it out :)

This is interesting that some people do not have Comic Life in their MBPs.
I doubt that Apple intentionally decides that some computers will have Comic Life, where as some will have something else... that would be just bad.

By the way, I have a SR MBP, and I have Comic Life- it came preinstalled.

You didn't get iPhoto because iLife is not a part of the standard OS install. Only iTunes comes for free.

Included software:

-iLife ’08 suite for creating photo projects, making movies, designing DVDs, building websites, and composing music

iLife '08=iPhoto, iWeb, GarageBand, iDVD, iMovie.

And you're reading that from the back of the Retail version of an OS X install?

If you have a legitimate Mac, Apple assumes you have the correct restore discs, which you can use to install iLife.

That sucks. I have a SR MBP and it came with Comic life.

My macbook pro is a santa rosa, and I had comic life on it, though it is a week 30.

[gusapple]

I think I know what happened. I got my new iMac on August 7th, it didn't have Comic Life on it. My guess is that when they introduced the new iMacs and Mac Minis, they discontinued putting Comic Life into all consumer computers.

[JudgeDanny]

mine didnt come with it :(

[polycat33]

My SR MBP came with comic life on it.

I'd imagine that the hard drive that came back without iLife came like that because they knew you had the install discs that came with the computer..?

[Osarkon]

Does anyone know if you can extract Comic Life from the restore disks to reinstall, say when I upgrade to Leopard?

[Kilamite]

Haha, never knew I had that!

Santa Rosa MBP (UK Model).

[askywalker]

reading this thread, I searched and found comic life. I have a MBP bought in August. Thanks for pointing it out - looks like a fun way to kill some time! I hadn't noticed it.
