Apple releases iLife '08 update

Lots of folks are writing in to let us know about the iLife '08 update waiting in Software Update. The iLife Support 8.3 update, 'provides system software components shared by all iLife '08 applications. This update improves overall stability and addresses a number of other minor issues. It is recommended for all users for iLife '08.'

At the moment this update is only available via Software Update, but we'll update this post when Apple posts the update on their site.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Update: You can grab the installer here.

Does anyone know if the iWeb update address the Firefox 3 gallery/album issues? I'm still having issues with my galleries, even after applying the hacks and I'm hoping this corrects them.

Did anyone notice the HP Drivers update included here as well? 193 MB for a 3rd party system. I remember this was being touted but was pulled. Looks like they added it again. Kinda cool really.

"Tell a Friend" in iPhoto still does not work properly and is unusable.

Has anyone else noticed the odd way that Software update (a) searches for updates, (b) installs updates, then (c) searches *again*?

In my experience, not once has it ever found an additional update that it didn't find the first time, so I find the behavior really annoying. I've never seen any comments about it, but surely others have noticed it....

Not only has Apple changed all the .Mac stuff to MobileMe but the theme "Modern Frame" now works in Firefox 3 after republishing my site.

Awesome work Apple!

Maybe if they update iWork, they'll finally add "autosave" functionality? That's pretty much all I care about... I can't believe that Pages doesn't have this ability. Even Google Docs has it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find Apple's update information severely lacking. It's like they cut and paste the same update info for every software application they have:

" This update improves overall stability and addresses a number of other minor issues. It is recommended for all users of.... blah blah blah"

There isn't that much incentive to have Autosave in Pages.

With Google Docs (which is web based and stores data off-site, and must constantly save) and Word (which is Windows Based and crashes constantly for many people, so much constantly save), Autosaving is a important feature.

With Pages; users are generally more aware of their document, and the OS is generally more stable. Users are also more likely to reuse documents; a process which is hindered by Autosave. If you really want to save your document constantly, how hard is to to type âŒ˜-S regularly?

(obviously) .Mac has been replaced with MobileMe too.
