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