Also, iLife '11 contains upgrades of iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand, but not iDVD or iWeb.
Both of these issues have since been addressed with software updates. The initial version had also shipped without the calendar-making feature in iPhoto. Affected users had lost some or all of their photo libraries.
At $49, and close to two years since the last major update, we can easily recommend picking this up.Įditors' note: The initial version of iLife '11 had given some users problems, specifically with iPhoto '11 library upgrades. It's a shame iDVD and iWeb did not receive updates with this year's version, but with a slightly lower price for upgraders than in years past, iLife '11 still represents a good value to consumers looking for a set of tools for editing and sharing media. This year's version adds a handful of advanced features to iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand without making them more difficult to use. The bottom line: iLife '11 is a welcome and long-overdue update to Apple's suite of digital media applications.
