Apple Updates ILife Suite For Leopard

By Scott Gilbertson October 26, 2007 Categories: Operating Systems, Software & Tools

ilifeupdate.jpgApple has rolled out a set of updates for its iLife suite. Some are intended to improve compatibility with today’s launch of the new OS X 10.5 Leopard, but others are aimed at Tiger users as well.

Apple’s typically terse release notes offer little hint of what’s changed beyond the usual vague statements about stability enhancements, compatibility improvements and “other minor issues.” Suffice to say these are not major upgrade unless you’re moving to Leopard.

I can tell you that the GarageBand 3.0.5 is solely for Leopard and didn’t even show up in Software Update on my Tiger install. IDVD 6.0.4, however, seems to be intended for all users and reportedly “improves overall stability” in addition to providing Leopard compatibility.

The iLife support app has also been updated for Leopard and “improves overall stability, addresses a number of other minor issues, and supports general compatibility issues.” Apple recommends the update for all iLife ‘08 users.

Since I plan to do a clean install of Leopard this afternoon, I’ve skipped the iLife updates for the time being, but I haven’t seen any reports of problems from those who have upgraded. As always, YMMV and make sure you have a backup before diving in.
