hey--did those of you who received your ilife upgrade already get it as part of your regular mail? i just called up apple because i wasn't given a tracking number online, and that was the explanation--that it was coming as part of us postal service and that no signature would be required.
Got a tip for us?

I got mine today, I am glad, I may of not bought it on their day of choice but I was pissed that I received my macbook the day before they updated and I was ready to call them up and complain. In the package was a special iLife Upgrade Edition (Not sure what that means, might mean I can only only use it to upgrade from iLife 06, so if I do a fresh install of Leopard I might have to install iLife 06 first, though the instructions don't mention anything about a previous iLife requirement). It also came with a iWork '08 trial disk and 4 proof of purchase Software Coupons. (I have no idea what they are for, it says to get updates and special offers you will need these). And last it came with the instructions, and no requirement to send in the receipt.
I heart you apple, I may of been mad, but this made up for it!I got my MBP one week before the release and apple customer care sold me ilife for 30 bucks, then they sent me iwork by mistake. Called them up and asked for a better deal than 30 but would not budge and just sent me ilife then charged another 30 to cc now I have both ilife and iwork they told me to send it back to recieve a refund on iwork so should I send it back or stay with both ilife and iwork for 60 bucks?
Good on you Ernie

Apple Customer Service Rocks!!!
I called Apple Customer Service yesterday and asked if I could get iLife '08 for the $10 special price even though i received my MBP on July 9.
I said that since it was within 30 days of the launch of iLife '08, I thought I might would ask.
The CSR had to talk to her manager about it...when she got back on the phone she said that I didn't qualify for that, but, she said, "I'm going to make your day, I will send it out to you free of charge."
They overnighted it and it is going to be delivered today by FedEx.
I asked to pay $10, and ended up paying nothing!
Apple, you have a customer for life!

This has been a week and half of hassles for me to finally get iLife 08. First, if you purchased your mac through a store, the ilife/update page will not work. You will also be denied if you try to fax in your order!
So, if you purchased your apple through the store you have the following options:
Call the store and speak to a manager...I got shot down.
Call 1-800-myapple and be nice and tell them your issue...I finally spoke to someone who had me purchase iLife online and then reduced the price back down to $9.95!
Good grief!!!
I still love apple...

so mines not working, i bought it back in june, but everyone else that did is still getting it to work, it says it cant find my serial? any ideas on what i can try differently to get it to work
mine was supposed to arrive via USPS by 8/17, but I still have nothing in the mail (this is after a week of backorder already). I hope they didnt loose my package
I orderd a macbook on monday and it came thursday, I bitched to the dealer (macmall) about how I noticed that the boxes seal was cut then sealed up with another piece of tape. They told me they were opening the boxes to put in the new iLife 08 disks.
I haven't really looked at them yet. Is this supposed to be a freebie or what?
Or did someone mention at a discount?

iLife comes bundled with new Macs. Your box was opened to put an '08 disc in to replace the '06 version. So yes, it's a freebie. The discount is for persons who purchased their Macs after Aug. 7th, but did not receive the new edition.
Does anyone else apart from me thing that the iLife 08 update should be free to anyone who has iLife 06? I think it should b/c iLife comes on all macs and its like they are trying constantly to get people to buy a new mac, etc. I know they are a business and need to make money but. . .y'know.
Does anyone know if in Garageband 06 you can print out a musical score b/c I think you can do that in 08 but what about in 06?
