iLife is Apple's suite of creative software that ships free with every new Mac and is supposed to cover all of the major bases: so it includes programs for making music, movies and web sites, organising and using photos, as well as creating DVDs. You...
With a low upgrade price and a slew of new features, iLife represents very good value for money, especially for users of GarageBand and iMovie which both benefit from some substantial new features. The full screen interface favoured by iPhoto won't be...

The changes to this iteration of iLife are perhaps the most minor we've seen to date, but Apple doesn't deny that this is an update more than a revolutionary refresh. That Apple's website invites you to “Upgrade Now” not to “Buy Now,” isn't just because i...
The changes in iLife '11 are far from ground-breaking enough that you need to upgrade from iLife '09, if you have that on your Mac. That isn't to say, however, that iLife '11 isn't a decent product. The upgrades are minor, but they're minor upgrades to wh...

Tweet After a barrage of yearly updates, Apple has taken its time over the lastest upgrade it's iLife package, but has it been worth the wait, and should you upgrade to the new iLife 11 over the iLife 09 you've probably been using? We've been playing...
Easy to use, some great features, lets you quickly manage your photos, video and music creation...
Not that many new features over the current offering, full screen mode only comes to iPhoto...
iLife 11 sees a handful of incremental rather than revolutionary updates and new features that will tease you into upgrading rather than making it a must...

Every year and a half or so, Apple pushes out a new version of its digital multimedia suite iLife. For some reason, not every app is significantly updated with every release of the suite, so the 2011 package comes with major overhauls to iPhoto, iMovi...
There are lots of incremental updates, but we wish these programs could be purchased separately. iPhoto is useful to pretty much everyone, but none of the others really justify the cost of an upgrade if you have iLife '09 already.Tags: Apple iLife , iP...

iLife '11, the latest version of Apple's consumer media suite, includes several apps, but only the three tentpoles—Garageband, iMovie, and iPhoto—were updated for the 2011. Since the advent of the Mac App Store, those three apps are now available as st...
Slick design. Mostly easy to use. Good sharing capabilities. Very Cheap (or free, with new Macs).
Online component, MobileMe, is costly. Mac only.
Macs may not be cheap, but Apple's slick personal media suite is, especially considering how much is included. Buy it now...

Any business or other organization of size will over time build up a substantial library of media depicting and supporting its activities. Sometimes that media is just a historical record of activities and events. These used to be kept in dusty file ca...

The latest iteration of Apple’s seminal creativity suite, iLife ’11, is a mixed bag of hits, misses, and baffling omissions. We still love the core iLife components of iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand, as well as the easy-to-use features tha...
Faster photo editing, New photo-sharing features, Waveform audio editing returns to iMovie, GarageBand gains simple fix/edit features, as well as new piano and guitar lessons...
IPhoto's multiple views are confusing and unnecessary, New slide shows detract from the photos being shown, IMovie's Movie Trailer feature is gimmicky, IWeb and iDVD need updating...
The iLife ’11 suite keeps what we love about the suite and adds some worthy upgrades. It's hard to go wrong for the $49 price, even if some of the new features are gimmicky...
