[russed]

Don't forget iDVD 6.0.1.;)


aah i dont have that installed (due to lack of hard drive space!)

well they are installed and all things seems pretty good for me! (well they all start up and my music/photos and web site is still there!)

i wonder if the iPhoto photocasting thing sorts out the stupid thing where it doesnt work well with non mac computers



its been a good few days on the apple update front!

[cwedl]

Downloading now!!!

Haven't really been using iLife that much! so haven't seen any bugs. Actually I have iWeb! :D

[Applespider]

And a monster 52.6MB iMovie update that appeared after those first 4 downloaded. Hmm, this should give the new ADSL connection a workout

Mine's an 18Mbit connection :p ADSL2+ - although to be fair, for normal browsing, you barely notice the difference. It's only when streaming audio or downloading updates that you really see it fly.

[cycocelica]

Anything to improve performance in iTunes!

I hope this includes a fix for this ridiculous issue with "non-destructive editing." I've got an iMovie with a total of 8 minutes worth of footage, and it's taking up 16gb on my hard drive because it doesn't actually delete what I tell it to crop (and no, it's not in the trash).

[EGT]

30 seconds... not bad :D

*Clenches fists in jealous anger*

:p

[VicMacs]

updated and running smoothly

[The Red Wolf]

Nice, more and more updates don't require a restart. Good for uptime monkeys and less annoying for everyone else.

wow are you living in a telephone exchange to get it that fast???!!!!

that is bloody quick!

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Just iTunes for me, then... I don't have iLife 06.

Edit: I hope this fixes a minor issue I've been having. Everytime my iBook wakes from sleep whith iTunes running, Multiple speakers have been selected, and not just my Airport Express, and since I'm not opening my firewall just to play music over my inferior computer speakers along with my stereo, then this causes Airtunes to have a hiccup and then choose just the Computer... :(

[revjay]

The mechanism for creating and editing the Ken Burns Effect in 6 was really anoying...they had the right idea with a widget-type window...but it was just missing the finishing touches...hopefully this update solves it.
<holding breath while running software update>

[stesch]

maybe iPhoto won't delete my calendar and half of my library again.

[netdog]

For some reason, I only got three of the updates via software update. iWeb and iPhoto remained at 1.0

Is this because I am on an Intel, or is something wrong here?

[nagromme]

They'll probably show up for you later. Not everyone gets the updates simultaneously.

[lucab1982]

I am updating all of them apart from iTunes, I am not convinced with the 'improving performance' jargon after the stunt they pulled regarding the oh-so-useful 'ministore' function :mad:

If there was only a Universal version of JHymn I would be able to play the MY music I purchased on my Archos AV500 :D

[dlastmango]

Does iPhoto allow you the option to choose HomePage or iWeb for publishing pictures. I had to go back to iphoto 5 since 6 took the homepage feature away. I wont upgrade with iweb making such huge webpages that dial-up users cant access.

Any adjustments in webpage sizes in iWeb? :confused:


Thanks for any info
Chris

[Applespider]

Does iPhoto allow you the option to choose HomePage or iWeb for publishing pictures.

Nope... it's iWeb only. You know you can do it manually through Homepage on the .mac site? Not quite so convenient but a trade-off if you want the other iPhoto 06 features.

[dlastmango]

Yeah i know it can be done there. But my wife was using iphoto and She didnt need me for anything. If i can get her to use the ,mac site then i'll update.

Chris

[p0intblank]

That was fast! I don't have iLife '06 yet, but it's good to know that some problems will already be fixed when I eventually do get it.

[kwajo.com]

thank goodness they fixes the theme quality in iMovie, sometimes it would render at low resolutions and scale up, resulting in an ugly pixelization

[seancusick]

iMovie- God I hope they fix all the bugs. 1st releases of imovie are always buggy- but this one is loaded.

[Keebler]

hi there,

just thought you should post a footnote that only folks in the US can buy the videos...us Canucks and other folks are screwed for now :)

I'll keep waiting :)

[VicMacs]

iweb still uploads everything with such a little change as the web page title...

[aafuss1]

I still only get iTunes 6.0.2-seems the Windows version isn't up yet. Are the versions of the iLife updates for the Intel based Macs available yet?

[MattG]

Yes -- updating my Intel iMac as I type.

I'm sure they're just tweaking/tightening the DRM a little bit. Seems thats all most iTunes updates do these days...

[Chundles]

We've got heaps of music videos down here. Do you mean the TV shows?

[Porchland]

I wont upgrade with iweb making such huge webpages that dial-up users cant access.


I've heard of that, but I can't quite place it. What's a dial-up user?

[nbs2]

does anyone know if it fixes imovie not actually performing the faster/slower/reverse edit?

[hob]

Not showing in my software update :S

[hcuar]

Praise be Apple. So say we all.

This fixed all my problems with iPhoto. The bugs were driving me up the wall. The thumbnails failing to update after edit. Fixed. The Desktop wallpaper being able to set from iPhoto. Fixed.

Praise be Apple. So say we all. :cool:

[longofest]

Good to see that iTunes video playback is as slow on ever... even on a QUAD!

[57026]

40 seconds to download all the patches through software update...not bad! Gotta love a university connection.

[macEfan]

wow, upadates already! They must also be patched so that you can't run it on a PC :D I'm glad apple always catches problems fast though!

[Viewtiful Rich]

This is so knit-picky, but I was hoping the top bar wouldn't pop down when doing full screen editing in iPhoto... just looks tacky to me, but oh well.

[hcuar]

This is so knit-picky, but I was hoping the top bar wouldn't pop down when doing full screen editing in iPhoto... just looks tacky to me, but oh well.

Ah... the menu bar. That's needed in order to get to certain things like "Revert To Original". I actually needed that when I screwed up an edit.

[Chundles]

You can have it stay down if that's what you mean.

EDIT: Wait, my mistake. I thought I'd seen something that said you could.

[Chundles]

I've heard of that, but I can't quite place it. What's a dial-up user?

I oughta smack you......

All my posts have been made on a dial-up connection (bar a few I made at my parent's house).

I hate Telstra.

[bankshot]

Cool. iLife is due to be at our doorstep when I get home from work tonight. Looks like I'll be updating before I even use it. :cool:

I'm really interested to see how iWeb works out. I've always been a major unix geek, and I've written all my html by hand for over 10 years now (my html editor of choice is vi :D). For years with photos, I'd used my own custom scripts to resize images and generate html templates which I edited before uploading to my web space. But then iPhoto made the whole process so much faster (and better looking, to boot), that even I, a major control freak when it comes to the details of this stuff, ditched my homegrown system for iPhoto + .Mac. I'd love it if iWeb did the same thing for my generic web pages.

The tinkering was fun in my 20s, but now that I'm 30, I'd rather just get good results quickly and move on to other fun stuff instead of tweaking for hours. ;)

[~Shard~]

Cool, I got credit for my story submission! :D :cool:

Nice to see some updates - I actually just installed my brand new copy of iLife 06 a few days ago. Also, it's good to see that there is nothing too major with these updates - just little enhancements and tweaks to address some minor things. It's nice not having new software with a ton of bugs and glitches in it. ;)

I'm afraid I have to burst that bubble... I usually don't have any issues with Apple software updates, but this time, updating iPhoto led to a library that seems to have forgotten where its files are. All the thumbnails are there, but double-clicking them just leads to iPhoto "loading" the photo indefinitely. Same for all photos. However, dragging a photo to the desktop (making a copy) works fine, and then afterwards that particular photo will be viewable in the library. It was working fine with 6.0, so I'm assuming it was the update. I decided to rebuild my library (but my library is huge, so it's taken about 3 hours so far and it's still got about 1 hour left).

I'll report back when it's done, hopefully everything will be straightened out! :P

[EDIT] Hmm, the time remaining jumped to 5 hours. And then iPhoto crashed. Trying again..

[EDIT 2] Relaunched, automatically rebuilt the thumbnail cache (took about an hour?), but then I found that the problem still existed in the last ~550 items. I copied them all to a temporary folder, deleted the folder, and then they were accessible again. Everything seems to be working now... very odd.

[mongoos150]

All 109.4mb downloaded in 80 seconds. Gotta love university connections :)

At home the download on my cable connection took 90 seconds. Cable rocks :):)

[Jovian9]

Is this not better? I was really hoping that it would be bearable to watch videos in iTunes now..........because at this point it's not.

[POHeerwig]

Thanks…Terrific news! Downloading now… but I've been waiting since install for the fix to photocasting. My parents, sister, etc. are on pcs & photocasting has been worthless in that regard so far. I feel like I'm getting a new toy ;)

[Tomaz]

Anyone checked if the ratings are fixed in iTunes? (not being able to enter 4 stars etc) ?

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Anyone checked if the ratings are fixed in iTunes? (not being able to enter 4 stars etc) ?Yepp, it's fixed... :)

[Tomaz]

Yepp, it's fixed... :)

Great!!! Thanks for the quick answer. And here we go....press "download"...

[balamw]

The iMovie update fixed my latest source of irritation. iMovie wouldn't import from my Sony TRV-11 as a DV bridge without a tape in the camera and now it does! Yay!

B

[dlastmango]

I've heard of that, but I can't quite place it. What's a dial-up user?

I'll smack you too... Dial up is what my Inlaws have in Erupoe (Czech rep) HomePage is all we have for an online photo gallery so they can see the new baby. iPhoto6 and iWeb really messed things up. Glad I was able to go back to iPhoto 5

Just a thought.. If I upgrade just iPhoto and dont install iWeb would iPhoto 6 still want to use iWeb for a photo gallery?

Any info?

thanks

[Spinnetti]

iPhoto 6 still crashes if I try to load big photos (sometimes, not all the time).
I have the latest 20" imac with all the upgrades...

[~Shard~]

Sorry to hear you had some issues with the update. And actually, i was referring to the fact that these updates have been released to correct relatively minor issues - it's not like Apple dropped the ball, released some seriously buggy software, and this is the patch for it. (HA ha - patch...) Regardless, I hope you get everything back in working order and it stays that way. :o ;)

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I'm afraid I have to burst that bubble... I usually don't have any issues with Apple software updates, but this time, updating iPhoto led to a library that seems to have forgotten where its files are.Didn't it work to just select Find Library...? :confused:

[Viewtiful Rich]

Ah... the menu bar. That's needed in order to get to certain things like "Revert To Original". I actually needed that when I screwed up an edit.

That's the word! I stared at my post for a couple minutes trying to remember what the heck the bar was called before I said screw it... anyways yea I figured it was there for more options, but still...

[mduser63]

Hoping this update fixes the iPhoto thumbnails not updating after an edit bug, as well as the complete inability to choose ratings when making/editing a smart playlist that uses ratings as a criteria.

[BlueRevolution]

don't forget the other update: Mac OS X 10.4.5! (I haven't seen it reported yet, so...)

iTunes' video reproduction is now almost as smooth as Quicktime's!

Sweet. :) Although about time. :rolleyes:

Edit: On a 1.33 12" PB on automatic I have almost no frame drops and the video starts immediately. On high it runs perfectly.

[BlueRevolution]

finally. though I think they should just give up altogether and have iTunes open QuickTime when you want to watch a movie from your library. while the iTunes functions may be fine for audio I prefer QTP's interface for video.

Has Apple finally integrated QT to iTunes to stream the sound from music videos via AirTunes to speakers connected to AirPort Express? It is such a pain when iTunes plays the music over AirTunes, comes to "bonus" video file and starts to play using my crappy built-in iBook speakers until it comes back to "regular" audio file played directly with iTunes. Come on Apple, do we ask for so much? We don't want to stream video with AirTunes, just sound when selected so in iTunes we are using for music videos now.. Where is the difference (for end user, for you it is that you didn't integrate AirTunes to QuickTime)? If this huge bug is not fixed, I am not upgrading to new iTunes, last time I upgraded to 6.0.2 and it caused strange iTunes behaviour when some songs are cut at the end, sometimes it is running through the playlist like crazy w/o songs being actually replayed,... It was my 1st bad experience with minor Apple update, not gonna upgrade for some fancy new features not getting real bugs fixed this time!

[AndrewWx]

iPhoto still cannot handle RAW files from the D200, I was hoping but not this time.

Someone may have asked this already, but does the iWeb update create nicer code that doesn't take an age for any browser to render?

[Cougarcat]

Someone may have asked this already, but does the iWeb update create nicer code that doesn't take an age for any browser to render?

My site went from 5.1 MB to 4.5 after the update. Most of that came from my photo album--it went from 2.8 to 2.3 MB. It might be a little faster than it used to be. Unfortunately, it still has a nasty habit of creating large images of text.

[robbieduncan]

It is.

[LastLine]

Still no blog commenting in iWeb :(

[Diatribe]

Still no blog commenting in iWeb :(

Yep, same like png compression, etc. Expect 2.0 to be the 1.0 everyone wanted and 3.0 to be the best app like this out there. Same thing with almost every Apple software...:rolleyes:

[Laurent]

I am making a copy of iTunes 6.0.2... I don't trust them...

[jydesign]

finally. though I think they should just give up altogether and have iTunes open QuickTime when you want to watch a movie from your library. while the iTunes functions may be fine for audio I prefer QTP's interface for video.

I totally agree, however I don't see why they haven't duplicated (or IMPROVED UPON!) the QT interface within iTunes w/o necessarily having to go as far as launching QT as a helper app.

Apple has the opportunity for being the leader in downloadable video now too, but they seem to be blowing off the user experience. Had the iTunes user experience been as half-assed (controls, ability to edit TV or Music Video meta data for multiple files, comparable performance, etc.) with music as it seems to be now with video, then iTunes/iPod would most likely not be as dominant today.

I look forward to Apple ironing out these wrinkles soon as iTunes moves from music player & store to true multimedia manager.

[BlueRevolution]

maybe in iTunes 7, or 8.

and they still didn't fix the blog date issue. sheesh. did they not think that people might want to make blog entries for days other than today?

maybe I just missed it, but I also don't see an option to make your own templates. there's only one that I'd actually use, and it has pictures of scary looking people as presets. after seeing the Webmonkey review (which strangely seems to have vanished) I was all excited about the possibilities. but there's no template editing tool and the template files inside the .app bundle are filled with incomprehensible XML.

[johnnyjibbs]

Anyone having problems with iWeb 1.0.1? I upgraded, hoping it would speed up the time it "uploads to .Mac" before actually uploading the individual pages but now it always crashes every time I publish. So I'm screwed now because I can't update my website.

Can't downgrade back to 1.0 as my brother has the install DVD in Leeds...
