You're in charge: iLife '06

iphoto and itunes need an easy way to setup sharing between users of the same computer. without having to manually move your libraries to the shared folder. iphoto organization seems fine to me too. who needs to search through there anyway? if you want a photo from iphoto, then just drag it out onto the desktop. i dont have any crashes or anything with iphoto, but i know a lot of people do, so less crashing would be nice, for other people.

1. An excel like application; I like Pages and Keynote but is missing an excel type program which means I have to go buy excel :-( 2. A web design program similar to Dreamweaver or Rapidweaver 3. I agree with the iPhoto improvements add some blending functionalities similar to Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks

Well, they did add FOLDERS to iPhoto and iTunes, BUT: For lots of people the way to organize albums would be to have the same album names repeat within a folder. Album names like 'selects' or 'rejects' - but you're not allowed to repeat an album name, even if they are in different folders. Sometimes getting the new features is like pulling teeth. We got the folders, but we still need more! I agree with all the complaints about iPhoto. I'm always looking at getting my pictures OUT of iPhoto - there is no substitute for YOUR OWN folder structure in the OS. Picasso lets you keep them where you want them, as does the competing Adobe Album product.

No one has any suggestions for GarageBand? How about more flexibility in inputting/manipulating/outputting MIDI? And more instrument presets that are made to mimic real musicians (e.g., Hendrix, Van Halen, the Edge, etc.)

One more thing... Password protected albums in iPhoto that actually use an AES image within the filestructure (just like filevault). This has multiple purposes, obviously. But last year I was working on a media project as a gift for my girlfriend. She was always on my computer and looking at pictures etc. It was a real challenge to keep her from seeing them and ruining the surprise. There is also the possibility of having pictures in your iPhoto collection that you would consider private, and that while showing your friends at work your latest vacation pictures... you don't want to run across! :) Last year my wife and I were teaching at a school in China. I always used my powerbook to teach and on one specific day I was showing my class some of my photos from different parts of the world. I happened to drag past a photo of my wife in a bikini (from the beaches in Mexico). My class was 14 8th grade boys... My wife was already known as "the hot teacher" and I never heard the end of it! :)

IPHOTO IPHOTO IPHOTO IPHOTO IPHOTO IPHOTO apple I hope you're reading this I gave up on iphoto and it's great features because -took 10 minutes to launch, 10 to close -copies all files into its own folders Why can't it just work like iTunes, just add a reference to a file in the library. It's so simple, why can't we have it!!

winamp for mac , thats all i ever wanted since i switched

iTube - great idea. iTunes handles video just like audio and that isn't ideal. iChat pro - i've wanted that for as long as i've been using iChat the one other thing i'd like is for garageband to support midi export, cause that's the main reason i don't use it more

A podcast app is a no-brainer. The trick is optionally bundling a microphone for 5g iPods, since there are currently none of the market. Fixing the iApp UI themes is long due. Nesting photo albums in iPhoto is a silly thing not to have. And, by the way, what's the problem with how iPhoto organizes things? What makes more sense than organizing by date? Otherwise you're just organizing by activity (Baby's Birthday, Siberian Vacation), and that just don't make no sense (what if baby's birthday was during your Siberian Vacation? Now you're in trouble). Date is the only thing that works all the time. Here's to the status quo!

I like eric's idea iTube - iTunes for video(organize and purchase videos) and while we are at it... Bookself - iTunes for PDF files(manage, search, subscribe to and purchase books, magazines, newsletters, textbooks...) I like Jon's idea iBog - .Mac had something like this but it should become a permanent part of iLife.
