Down and Installed on all Macs here.

is anyone else noticing more responsive image-flipping when scrolling over an event in iPhoto? I'm on a G4 (dual 867) and feel like the update gave a very noticeable speed increase.

So does it fix iPhoto over NFS?

[quovadis]

trouble free install. iPhoto seems snappier!

[Glenn Wolsey]

Downloaded and installed. iPhoto is a little snappier as stated above.

...and supports general compatibility issues.

Is this code for supports compatability with Core Animation and other Leopard goodness?

[Eidorian]

Is this code for supports compatability with Core Animation and other Leopard goodness?From what I can tell iLife '08 and iWork '08 already Leopard hooks built-in.

[twoodcc]

i will download and install shortly

[mrweirdo]

good to know allthough I probably wont install it yet. Just because I will be installing leopard tomorrow so i'll be waiting until then ;)

[Yuppi]

I have the strange problem that when I start iPhoto I get the message that the new 7.1 version is there. But when I open the update Dialog it does not show anything, except for the 1.1 iMac update. Does anyone have the same problem?
Edit: I found the problem, I moved all iLife applications to an iLife folder within my applications which seems to be an bad idea.. Moving apps in general seems to be a bad idea as I learned now :(

[compuguy1088]

I haven't gotten this update yet.....still says I have all updates....

[tigerphilosophy]

Well just in time. :eek: Been doing major editing iPhoto slideshows to fit music before exporting to movies. iPhoto stalled and simply lost 7 of my sideshows. :( Downloaded and installed the iLife update (hoping for stability to fix lost slideshows). Could not find help on help forums and telephone lines busy today so couldnt get help (and dont expect to tomorrow with Leopard release).

I think I need to resolve where they disappeared to before installing Leopard (arrives FEDEX tomorrow morning). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.:o

[Doctor Q]

This update isn't linked to Leopard?

Maybe that's what they mean by "general compatibility issues."

[dr_lha]

So does it fix iPhoto over NFS?
Out if interest what's your issue with iPhoto over NFS? It works fine for me.

[FJ218700]

I haven't gotten this update yet.....still says I have all updates....

is iPhoto in your orig. applications folder and simply named "iPhoto" ?

[megfilmworks]

Anu ideas as to which is best; install update tonight or
install it tomorrow after installing Leopard?

I guess it depends on how you're going to be installing Leopard. If your upgrading, do the iLife support now, if your archiving or going clean, you'll have to install on .5 again.

[DWKlink]

Fixed the problem where opening preferences would cause the spinning beach ball for several minutes on my G5! I'm psyched!

[Yvan256]

I keep getting a Software Update notice that I should download "iLife '08 Support 8.1.1" (as well as iDVD 6.0.4)... but I don't even have iLife'08 on my machine! :confused:

[Eidorian]

Out if interest what's your issue with iPhoto over NFS? It works fine for me.I don't have permission to read the new package format of the iPhoto Library.

Now note, I do have permission but it I don't think it likes that my home directory is /private/var/automount/homes/"username". :rolleyes:

It isn't the first time that applications have broken like this. I'm looking at you Adobe.

The big question I have is does this update fix imovie 08.

Did you originally have your User directory on a panther machine? I remember that in the Panther->Tiger transition they moved the location of the automounted partitions, which caused no end of issues for software that translated stuff like /home/user to /private/var/automount/home/user.

FYI I have iPhoto running on a machine with an NFS mounted home directory in /private/var/automount/home/user, and it works without issue for me. That said, I have admin access to my computer!

It's being shared off out only Solaris 10 machine.

Yeah...does it fix iMovie 08? Apple Support forums are down so can't see if anyone posted anything.

I think the origin of your problem is esoteric, so I doubt Apple will be fixing it soon. We have about 15 Macs in the building here (all with NFS home directories served off a Linux box, although soon we're moving to an XServe) and none of our users have reported any issues with iPhoto. Sorry!

[yetanotherdave]

where can I chcek my iLife version number? Obviously I can check the individual apps...
I'm not getting this in software update

[MacRumorUser]

I have leopard with an Archive & Install installation, and these have yet to appear on my Software Update.

Aperture, ProApp update appeared but iLife update not yet ? :o

If you have iLife '08 and Leopard, you will need neither of these updates.
