Mebster Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I installed "Mac OS X 10.4.4/5 osx86 Patched Bootable DVD" and so I’ve got 10.4.5 installed it works more or less (no sound and modem drivers wont install). I don't know much about Macs. Actually, almost zilch . But I assumed I would be getting iPhoto, iMovie HD and iDVD, which from what I understand is a part of iLife ’06 suite. Reason? As I’ve seen some stores who have it installed when they sell their Macs. The store in particular is John Lewis. They have those apps installed and are included when you buy the Mac. So it was weird when I looked in the applications part of OSX and couldn't find them. The DVD I used wasn't a stripped down versions, was it? How could it be? It was 4.37GBs! So do I use another OSX version or do something else. Anyone care to shed some light on the matter? Come on people. Lets kill this issue . Let’s hear what you have to say.

fishkorp Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Yes, your installer DVD was stripped. OSX itself is too big to fit on a single-layer DVDR. The iLife install DVD is a little over 6GB in size (a separate DVD from the OS).

Mebster Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 So you’re saying. The OSX is stripped because it normally on the dual layered DVD. And that iLife is around 6GBs. But it sounds as though you mean they have nothing in common. So how come there are Macs that can be purchased with iLife (in one package)? Is that an extra or a part of a larger (fuller) OSX installation CD?

mrhotwings Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 a dual layer is 8.5 gb it could be preinstalled on mac i think like microsoft office doesn't come with windows xp.

grentz Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 ilife is 6gb, the OSX installs we downloaded have been stripped of it since with the Mac OSX it would be WAY to big to fit on a DVD (ilife can't even fit on a dvd). Mac OSX official disks are dual layer which can hold more data (sometimes the comercial ones can go up to 9+gb) so they can fit ilife on as well. On a side note, WHY on Mac OSX are the printer drivers 2.1gb.....REDICULOUS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13976-ilife-missing/#findComment-88850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mebster Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 I understand what you mean but it's just weird that a store would sell a mac with a preinstalled iLife. That's why i assumed it was part of OSX. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13976-ilife-missing/#findComment-88853 Share on other sites More sharing options...
