I don't know if this is any big news or not, but I just got notification from Apple that my iLife 04 has shipped. I didn't think it was suppose to ship until Jan.16.

SOLIDAge · Jan 14, 2004, 10:09 PM

Apple sales rep told me it would ship tuesday or Wends...so not a shock really.
Mine still says "EST SHIP 1/15/04"...understandable since i ordered through Education Store.

dracoleb · Jan 14, 2004, 10:38 PM

Just got a shipping notification! This was with the edu. discount. Hoping to get it soon. Garage Band looks sweet!

yeah, but the person that started this thread at least picked the right forum.

darcybaston · Jan 15, 2004, 04:26 PM

Mine's still on 'open' for the 15th. When I ordered on the 6th it listed the item as iLife'04-USA and it has since been cancelled and replaced with iLife'04-INT. I didn't do that.

Must be an internal inventory switch thing.

I'm in Canada and ordered from the Canadian Apple Store.

Cadaver · Jan 15, 2004, 04:48 PM

Gack.... My order still says "Open" despite being listed as shipping on or before today.
Guess today isn't over yet, technically. Just eager I suppose to get my new iPhoto.

dwishbone · Jan 15, 2004, 04:48 PM

just checked mine. iLife has shipped today. the Jam Pack is scheduled for shipping today as well...but still hasnt been at this time. my M-Audio keyboard is scheduled to go out on the 21st.

Yeah, that 15th estimate is relative to PST. I'm in the EST time zone so it doesn't have to technically change to say a new shipping date until their office hours days ends. I'm guessing that means 8:00pm EST. Unless they'll work overtime.

If I knew someone who worked there who was, I'd send them a big thank you.

When I ordered, I said to ship it all as one package, instead of three. I assumed the keyboard would be ready BEFORE iLife and Jam Pack. I guess this is why my whole shipment is held up until the 21st.

Dammit I wish I had set it to ship seperately.... now I have to wait for all of it.

darcybaston · Jan 15, 2004, 05:10 PM

Hehe...lift your pant leg up, and kick that shin with your other foot.

Webscreamer · Jan 15, 2004, 10:00 PM

Gonna be at Apple Store in downtown Chicago at 10:00 tomorrow to grab it! Even my pirate friends are going to buy this one... such a good price(amazing when educational discount).

*sets alarm clock*

arrlin · Jan 15, 2004, 10:10 PM

I think I have checked my order status 20 times today. Still on open but listed for shipping today. I'm in Canada, and mine was also listed as changed from us to int.

Are you sure you can get the edu. price on software at the Apple Stores?

darcybaston · Jan 15, 2004, 10:14 PM

Thanks for letting me know arrlin! I'll refresh 20 more times if you do 25.

I'm in your boat.

CheesePuff · Jan 15, 2004, 10:16 PM

Ordered the educational version and it shipped yesterday with 2-day, even though I chose the $4.00 ground shipping. Will be here tomorrow by 4:30 PM so says FedEx. (When Panther shipped they said by 3:30 PM and it came at 3:29).

arrlin · Jan 15, 2004, 10:18 PM

Now that I've subscribed for email posting of this thread, I have to run and check if the email is from this thread or from the apple store every time mail bings.
I think I'll just go to bed.

Also I just noticed I am the oldest registered member in this posting. cool.

%100 sure... I always did. The CompUSA is so close and they have to compete with the Apple Store, they even give educational pricing...

but I always go to the Apple Store

Cool, I remember hearing once that you can get hardware, but not software so I was just checking...

hmmmm.. mb you are right. But I thought u can get Panther discount there, so it must be all software?!

Can anyone help us out here?

BugsyJA · Jan 15, 2004, 11:03 PM

My iLife package supposedly "shipped" yesterday, but every time I check the tracking number at FedEx, they have no scan record of it. AAARRRGGGHHH, I want it tomorrow!!!

BugsyJA · Jan 15, 2004, 11:14 PM

fyi, Education Sales Policy from Apple...

* PowerBook or iBook

Does it say anything about the retail stores though?

MojoRising022 · Jan 15, 2004, 11:36 PM

Apple Retail Stores DO NOT offer student discounts on software in store...you will need to order online to get this discount. This was the case with Panther also. The in-store student discount only applies to Apple Branded hardware (CPU's, Displays, Airport, iPods, iSight, etc).

Hope this saves you some aggravation tomorrow morning.

Yeah it saved it for tomorrow.. I am extremely pissed right now.

Nebrie · Jan 16, 2004, 01:09 AM

The Jam pack just shipped, overnight too, coming with my ilife tomorrow

darcybaston · Jan 16, 2004, 01:11 AM

It's 12am for me, 9pm PST and it still says it will ship on or before Jan 15th and that the order is OPEN. *shakes head in wonder* Oh well, off to bed I go!

That happened to me too (Toronto, not Sudberia

), but mine has been "released for delivery".

Too bad that was at 11:30 pm. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow.

Your bloody lucky I ordered at 12:21PM on Jan 6, and it's to ship on Jan 21

I am so ****ing pissed at Apple. Tomorrow I am canceling my Order.

darcybaston · Jan 16, 2004, 08:50 AM

Mac Write, same happened to me. I even ordered about the same time you did heh. Midnight of the 6th. My status page now says it will ship on or before the 21st. *sigh*

arrlin · Jan 16, 2004, 08:58 AM

Just checked.
Says shipped.
I have not gotten an email notification though.
waiting waiting waiting.

darcybaston · Jan 16, 2004, 09:11 AM

Lucky Torontonians.

Delivery folks may be avoiding Sudbury, with all the -40C weather.

dwishbone · Jan 16, 2004, 09:13 AM

odd. i received an email from apple saying that due to unexpected high demand for the jam pack it would not ship until the 21st (when my keyboard ships). well, then shortly after i received shipping confirmation that my jam pak had indeed been shipped. well, iLife and Jam Pack are on the way. now just gotta wait for the kb.

darcybaston · Jan 16, 2004, 09:17 AM

Yeah, I'm thinking they add a week to the time by default, even if you were the last box sitting around the evening before that would be processed first thing in the morning.

arrlin · Jan 16, 2004, 09:43 AM

Just checked FEDEX tracking my shipment. Shipped yesterday, but estimated delivery is Monday.
Oy that better be wrong. I only ordered it from the apple store since it said delivery by today the 16th.

starman · Jan 16, 2004, 10:03 AM

I'm going to Short Hills at lunchtime to get mine. No sense in taking a chance on getting it late.

Hmmm... Still "released for delivery", but it says estimated date of delivery is the 19th. I sure hope not, because I wanted to use iMovie/iDVD this weekend, and Apple had said the delivery date was supposed to be the 16th.

darcybaston · Jan 16, 2004, 10:23 AM

Yeah, 'supposed' and 'actual'...

bradr · Jan 16, 2004, 11:25 AM

Mine's on the truck for delivery. Yee hee!

pumpkinapo · Jan 16, 2004, 11:51 AM

Ordered 1/14 12:30PM EST thought Edu Store.
Delivered 1/16 10:16AM EST. Now just have to wait for the mail room delivery.

atlcane · Jan 16, 2004, 11:52 AM

I just checked fedex and mine is on the truck headed to my office right now. I can not wait.

xi_hyperon · Jan 16, 2004, 11:55 AM

Mine is somewhere in my office building. I am now at the mercy of the efficiency of the corporate mailroom.

On a sidenote, my jampack was supposed to ship as well, but got delayed until the 21st.

dwishbone · Jan 16, 2004, 12:24 PM

i just checked fedex...says both iLife and Jam Pack are out for delivery today. happy happy joy joy!!!!

darcybaston · Jan 16, 2004, 04:15 PM

So it turns out that my order has shipped. Fedex hasn't updated its status page on it since 11:45pm last night so I guess it's still in Toronto but who knows, could be sitting at the Sudbury depot. Hooray!

mdc · Jan 16, 2004, 04:46 PM

i got an email from apple saying that it will not be shipped until the 21st. then i get another one saying it has been shipped.

i got the up-to-date thing for $20, and went for the cheapest shipping, can not remember if it was free or not.

i went to the order page to see if the thing did actually ship or not, since i got two emails. it says it has been shipped, but the tracking number does not find anything on fedex. the apple page says that the thing has been shipped with priority overnight saturday delivery.

so we will see if it arrives tomorrow. would be cool.

darcybaston · Jan 16, 2004, 04:51 PM

I haven't received any email, weird. It shipped and everything and didn't send me a peep. Checked account preferences and they're all fine.

rblanchette · Jan 16, 2004, 05:01 PM

I got mine today. Apple shipped it on the 14th.

It took about 10 minutes or so to install on my PB. Have played with it just a little so far. Here's my first impressions:

Garage band is a little slow on my 12" PB. There are noticable pauses when doing things. I'm sure it will be much better on faster Macs. It is fun to play with though and I plan on plugging my guitar in tonight.

iPhoto seems to be a lot better. It's quicker (once it has updated your library) to scroll through pictures and has some nice new editing tools.

The install takes up a lot of space. It used about 3+GB if you install the Garage Band samples. I had 19+GB before and 15.9 after.

I'll play with it a little more and post later.

dwishbone · Jan 16, 2004, 10:18 PM

mine arrived today.
*hugs iLife*
it's fantabulous :-D
