[OSX-Users] Re: Install iLife on Lion

[T Dong Huynh]

Many thanks, Jules. If I had upgraded from Snow Leopard, rather than fresh install Lion, would the iLife suite be upgraded to the '11 version as well?
I think I could install iLife '09 from the original discs that came with my Macbook, as Luke suggested, but I also found reports of incompatibility on an Apple forum.

I'm quite reluctant to restore Snow Leopard, just to get the iLife back, since lots of software installation and customisations have happened since I upgraded. I might need to live it.

On a separate note, I'd like to understand about MacOS licenses on university machines. Do we have a site license that allow free upgrades from Snow Leopard (and, if so, how)? Or, when you suggested me to upgrade from Snow Leopard, I'll need to pay for a copy of Lion via the App Store?

Cheers,



Dong.

You should just upgrade to Lion, not do a fresh install. Suggest you restore back to Snow Leopard and then just upgrade.

If you get really stuck (you do have a backup, don't you), I might be able to find a copy of iLife, but it's not the same version as the one you already have so you should have to pay for it again.

Hello all,

I’ve got my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard and iLife pre-installed. I then installed a fresh copy of Lion downloaded from the ECS software distribution server.
The problem is iLife is not included with Lion. How can I obtain iLife and re-install it on my machine from ECS?
Cheers,

Dong.
