Apple Releases iLife Support 8.1.1

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".

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

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!

We never did auto mounting until I joined the department 2 years ago. It was Tiger only.

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

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

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!

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

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

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 ?

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

Sadly it does seem that way.
