 The benefits of receiving the ILife '04 September 13, 2009
Leroy Robinson
First of all, it helped me to become familiar with
the MAC system since I've devoted all of my life
and experience to PC products. Getting this older
version of a program for a decent price helped me
economically. Thank you.
 False advertising! June 4, 2009
H. Grant (Oakland, CA)
iLife '04 is advertised by Apple as being a suite of software packages: iTunes, iMovie, Garage Band, and iPhoto. I bought it in hopes of restoring iMovie 4 which had crashed and no longer functioned. When I tried to install the program, it was unavailable (as was iTunes). It took some digging through Help to discover that if you had upgraded the OS X operating system from Panther, you could not restore iMovie - and were encouraged to upgrade to a later version of iLife! The problem with that is the newer versions only work with more powerful processors; in other words, you need a new computer too. The only solution was to back up all my files and reinstall OS X, losing all the web bookmarks and software upgrades in the process. It took more than 4 hours to accomplish this tedious process :( Apple clearly does not care about customers using older products.
just right for my old iMac April 18, 2009

The newest versions of iLife don't work on my older 800Mz iMac, and I don't plan to edit video anyway. Price was right, specs fit, and seller was highly rated to I took a chance and was quite pleased with my purchase.

When I received my iBook 12", I was extremely excited to bust out the iLife applications. I had heard a lot about them, and played around with them at Apple Retail Stores.
I was quite disappointed. It seems that in order to be "user friendly", Apple stripped some of the most important features. I am not a professional by any means, but some of the things that Apple removed were simply ridiculous.
iLife is composed of five main applications - iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, and GarageBand (new in iLife 04), which I will review separately below.
iTunes - an audio jukebox which is by far the best and most complete application in the entire suite. iTunes is probably the best solution for ripping and organising your digital music, with an excellent interface, a beautiful visualiser, and Apple's famed drag-and-drop simplicity. But that's no reason to buy iLife, because iTunes is available for free on Apple's website. (***** of five stars)
iMovie - allows you to "edit" movies, which basically (in iMovie terms) means splicing clips together. I did manage to put together a complete video on this thing, but the labour was difficult and I found myself frustrated by how dumbed-down it felt. The lack of effects and filters was notable, and many times I felt like I could have done the job in half the time on Sony/SonicFoundry Movie Studio. (*** of five stars)
iDVD - a tool for authoring and burning DVDs. Because the iBook doesn't have a SuperDrive, I was unable to actually burn a disc with this program. I did drag-and-drop a few clips, but I didn't actually play around with it enough to give it a solid rating. (no rating)
iPhoto - basically iTunes for pictures, iPhoto allows you to organise and catalogue your photographs with snap and simplicity. It is extremely easy to use, automatically importing photographs and adding them to your library. The photos can then be added to "albums", which can be printed or even sent to Apple for a book. While iPhoto is quite short on photo editing tools, that's really what Photoshop is for. (**** of five stars)
GarageBand - lets you drop loops and compose music. Out of all the iLife apps, this is the one which disappointed me the most. I expected a comprehensive but easy-to-use audio editing application, but GarageBand was the worst I have ever used. Its interface is indeed simple enough, but it is extremely lacking in both "software instrument" synthesizers and "real instrument" filters. Many of the features it lacks baffle me as well - you can't reverse, pitchshift, or resample an AIFF track. (* of five stars)
