An application from iLife '11 has already been released. It's called iTunes 10. It's not 64-bit.
Uhmmm... iTunes is not a part of iLife

No, they want you to purchase Logic instead.They probably don't want you to make music or burn it to dvds anymore- just buy stuff on their itunes store.
Without idvd or garageband, it's a useless upgrade for me.
And it's far easier to drop HDs so your $1200 sw is DOA. It always depends on how you take care of your stuff. I have thousands of CDs/DVDs, and none of them is scratched; obviously I do not throw them around my desk either.I have a 40GB that still works from a decade ago. You are not supposed to use hard drive for other purposes than just installation and copying files. Hard drives can last just as long as DVDs. Its far easier to scratch a dvd than to scratch the platter in the hard drives. You can also simply back up the hard drive to another hard drive or have the company send you a replacement for a fee just as you can with DVDs.
What?
iTunes have never been a part of the iLife suite and it have absolutely nothing to do with iLife except for media browser type of deals.
Agreed about facial recognition. It is just good enough to be tempting to use, but, not good enough to really automate the process-- very frustrating. It works OK with certain people, especially people over 40, but, not well at all with children.
Yes. Are you also aware that it isn't going to run the kind of software that I was pointing out in my post. Also they do offer an external superdrive for that.Have you heard of a computer called the MacBook Air?!
Exactly how are people going to install Apple software like Aperture or Final Cut? Or re-install the OS?
Lastly, I'd like to see the whole LP creation and other media creation as part of iLife. Mobile apps sound good except iWeb on iPhone would be quite challenging. I would like something where I can check on the sites and maybe even republish remotely from my desktop at home since iWeb's sites are so unreliable sometimes. Although, it might be because i'm using consumer software to create professional websites.
Anyway, can't wait for iLife & iWork 11 - hopefully with iPhone iWork apps![]()
iTunes has been not part of iLife for some time, but "never say never." It was indeed one of the original iLife apps in the first several iterations and included up through iLife '05.

Well when I have to update my iPhone OS, the download is now inching toward 1 gb. OS X is now about 6 gb before compression. I wouldn't be surprised if in the future you simply have a passcode to download the OS from Apple's new server farm. If you want to back up your data, you'll back it up online. After optical drives disappear, the next computer component will be hard drives. It looks like the Air was way ahead of its time.
80GB External drives are being sold for 30-40$ at most. Im sure they can offer it next to the 10 DVDs package or something thats offered for Final Cut for 40$ more. Far easier and faster to install from an external drive than 10 DVDs. A lot of huge packages are starting to come in the external drives instead of 10 DVDs.

You are not going to be running pro apps on an Air.

Can't wait. I love it when Apple do Mac stuff.
Apple isn't necessarily thinking how do we facilitate the creation of dvds so people can make home videos and share them with friends - they're going to the root - what's the best way of distributing videos - right now, upload to the internet is much faster and much more widely used then DVD burning.
I have nothing against iDVD but like i said earlier it wont disappear, support will still be available for 3 years or so and iDVD will not disappear from your apps.
In other words, they might be replacing the software with something that does that job better, and the job is not creating DVDs, the job is distributing media in a beautiful way - maybe we will see the an app in iLife that was rumored before about making something like the Movie extras, with menus and other content - similar to iDVD but then its to upload or stick somewhere else or on your apple tv or on your iphone or ipad
that's why i pay them, to think for me and show me what i want, cause i don't know.

iDVD -- yes, it should just be a module of iMovie (always should have been). If Apple doesn't want to support Blu-ray on religious grounds, let others do it as a plug in. If you have kids, you want your memories to be archived on physical media, not uploaded for all to see on a public website which could be sunset at any moment. You really expect YouTube to be running in 50 years with all of your uploaded cat videos still intact? I'd rather take my chances I can get an optical player that will still work and play back my DVD and BDs, thank you.

I expect my DVDs and CDs to be useful decades after my HD storage has died and been replaced multitudes of times. Big HDs and the cloud are wonderfully convenient and are increasing trends but some form of physical storage is going to stick around, even if it is wads of disposable thumb drives.
Funny how Apple chooses to drop support for the only other app than iMovie that I even care about.
I've never understood why the iLife apps don't carry the same names and code base as the pro apps, just with an introduction level of features. So once someone gets hooked on one of the iLife Apps they can just move up the the chain.
That's still far out in the future.I am quite surprised that few posts here mention the delivery of software on media other than CD/DVD.
Jobs has made it quite clear that we ain't going to see Blu-Ray on Macs. Digital delivery is the Apple-preferred way. This is backed up by the massive data centre under construction in the USA.
Broadband internet, gaining in speed all the time, is the obvious method for future delivery. Even creaky old BT are rolling out 20meg at their exchanges. Virgin offer 50meg connections in some areas.
Apple have always been a year or two ahead when it comes to things like this. The floppy drive disappeared on Macs well before most people thought it would. Who could argue they were wrong to do so? Digital cameras came along and you could soon no longer fit an image file onto a floppy. We needed CD writing capabilities. iMovie/iDVD meant we needed DVD writing soon afterwards (Still back in the day of the 2nd gen iMac).
Our trusty CD was next in the firing line. iTunes Store showed the future well before the record companies were ready to accept it. Stop for a second and think how big your CD rack would be if all of your tunes were not downloaded? IKEA would have dedicated CD rack shops!!
Standard Def Movies on DVD's soon died and we can now own TV Show episodes via iTunes. Internet speeds and technology allow us to download HD content. 1080p content will arrive, eventually.
Apple are simply doing what they have done for the past 10 years. They are staying 1/2 to 1 full step ahead of the game.
It appears that they have skipped over Blu-Ray and i think they will kick CD/DVD in to touch quite soon as well. As the cost of flash memory drops, the overall savings of delivering software will fall. USB3 and/or LightPeak devices will be the next step and the final nail in the coffin for software on CD/DVD.
As internet speeds increase, the attraction of electronic delivery also increases. The ISP's will need to change. They will have to if they want to survive.
Electronic delivery of Music, then Movies, then TV Shows and Mobile Phone Apps brought savings to all involved. The creators don't have the production and distribution costs. We benefit as well with lower prices.
Software will follow this route, It has already started!
For something like OS re-installs, maybe USB drives. For everything else, downloads, probably. That seems like a logical course of action. But then again, a lot of people don't like to use logic when they make decisions.
