Mac: Installing iLife 09


Posted below is 'silent' tutorial I made on installing iLife 09 on my MacBook Pro. The Unibody was purchased November 2008 before the release of 09. I made the vid to hone the procedure on the screencaster (Varasoft's Screenflow) rather than the tutorial itself. Anyone who believes there is a slicker screencaster out there, please weigh in.


In regard to 09, its features are amazing, meaning it provides more 'spoons' for the 'uninitiated' but few in the cult shun 'spoons' in preference for 'old school'. Alex Peters is one who swears by 07. Well, if you are nearer the kernel, you will. Darwin upon which the OSX is based is the least mentioned feature in Apple literature, yet the most significant. But that is another story.


This is the first in the series of Mac oriented videos I intend to promote, perhaps with music the next time around, so stay tuned.


Cheers, Tommy Peters



Post Script: A question was posed to me by a college student. Will I be able to register the application if I have the original disc but not the sleeve upon which the Marketing Part Number (MPN) is pasted on. Well if the disc is original, the number can still be identified through the System Profiler which is accessed via Utilities, but I would suggest another route. Click the Apple Logo (top left) > About this Mac > More Info. Then click Hardware and look for the Sales Order label and there you have it. Copy and paste the number and the application is registrable. In Windows, the procedure involves the Regit route but it's a little long-winded.

Hope this helps.
