OT - where is iphoto???

ok, maybe im losing my mind, but havent macs historically shipped with iphoto?

i always zero and reinstall the OS on every new machine. i never install any of the "i" stuff simply because i dont need it. so now that i have an iphone apparently i need iphoto to get photos off the device and onto my machine.

i went to my osx install discs and there is no iphoto option.

ill be damned if im gonna drop $80 for the ilife stuff just to be able to get photos off my iphone...

Sorry to crap in your cornflakes, but iPhoto is part of iLife... pay up.

$80 for a bunch of hobbyist/housewife stuff i'll never use for any other reason - grrrr!

I was under the impression that newer Macs come with the iLife package installed.

I don't use iPhoto or iDVD either. Hate 'em.

I have a strong hunch there's not a separate iLife installer on the original install OS CD/DVD. You might be able to find and install it using something like Pacifist though otherwise you might need to do an OS install. On the other hand you might find paying $79 less painful.

iPhoto, iMovie should come pre-installed on the Mac...ALL Macs. And Craig is right, there is a separate installer disk for them. The NEWER versions of iLife come as a new purchase, and iWeb isn't preinstalled. But, iPhoto is preinstalled. If you erased your drive and reinstalled things, then you need to look for that separate installer.

And for the record, I HATED iPhoto for the longest time and REFUSED to use it. Only with iLife '08 have I used it, and REALLY LIKED it. Finally the organizational structure inside iPhoto, and on the finder level make sense.

I don't know where y'all have been...but iLife has been a purchase package for YEARS. It's only included as a promo package with some machines. I discuss this with resellers when purchasing a machine and usually get iLife thrown in if it's not part of the promo package. Never anticipate freebies included when you buy... you have to ask. If you don't ask...you don't get

I don't use iPhoto / iMovie or any of the other apps but personally, I think (pound for pound - $ for $) that iDVD is the best software Apple has ever released. That app alone is WELL worth the $79. I use it everyday for client proofs / one-offs / personal VHS - SVHS - Hi8 backups / demos. Does HD DVD's as well.

Don't hate...appreciate...!

STOP SCREAMING AT ME, Dude!?

Maybe NOW the newer machines all ship with iLife...but they DIDN'T ALWAYS. Then again...they are probably just separate installers.

i could be wrong about the whole thing - but i just always recalled seeing the ilife stuff in the dock of each new machine before i zapped them.

i could have just seen it on an imac once and simply assumed it was on all machines.

ive been through my osx install disc and the only stuff in the optional installs is ical and itunes...

Then stop saying that I'm wrong.

Now...iLife won't be on the may system install disk...it will be a separate iLIFE disk that is green and flowery. At least in my experience...that I what I have in my drawer...

Re: separate discs, I've seen it both ways. One of my pre-Intel machines came with the green iLife disc, but my Mac Pro only came with the OSX install DVDs -- but iLife was on there. There was an option to install iLife during the install process. The individual packages can also be found if you use a program like Pacifist.

I'm not sure but you may be able to use Image Capture to get those photos off your iPhone. Image Capture is installed in OS X

yep! thanks dean. that was indeed the solution - worked beautifully!

No Problem. I prefer to grab all my photos using Image Capture as it has way more control.
It even, with the right scanner will allow you to capture from a scanner.
