I agree, where are they? I have to go out of town and was hoping to have them before I leave my high speed connection. They said the 31st. With their track record that means 11:59 pm on the 31st.

nsxpower · Jan 31, 2003, 01:05 PM

Well it is 11:59 right now !!!!!!!

But, still nothing ....

Peter · Jan 31, 2003, 01:06 PM

and where is the next OS X update?

nsxpower · Jan 31, 2003, 01:07 PM

Looks like the rumor sites were wrong again

Sven G · Jan 31, 2003, 01:10 PM

Anyway, when the iLife (except iDVD) downloads arrive, they'll surely be very big, as these screenshots show (taken from the Italian website Macity):

Jerommeke · Jan 31, 2003, 01:12 PM

Don't know where you are, but in the UK it's about 5:15pm (as I write), which means it's about 9.15am Pacific Time. So even if Apple put them live at (their) lunchtime, there's still a few hours to go yet...

remember Apple is not in eastern time. I bet steve is still in bed.

As we all wait here for the new Programs, and wait for the new programs, and wait for the new programs. Oh I said that.

Apple is not on time for anything. Look at the time that Steve Jobs goes on stage for the Keynotes for all of the Macworlds

I feel like a kid needing to use the restroom. Hurry up already! I need to use my iLife.

Those versions probably have all the localized data, if Apple offer downloads specific to each country they could probably reduce the size.

Or maybe Apple wants to put people off downloading them, much better for them if people stump up $50 for iLife.

cambro · Jan 31, 2003, 01:34 PM

I'll bet they post it on the weekend. That way, all those work/school high bandwidth users won't kill the servers. Leaving it to the weekend or even the evening will probably result in a better parsing of the downloads???

I'm a little surprised to find iPhoto to be larger than iMovie.

It is because of all that debuging code. That is why it is so slow.

So What's the speed of your iBook? 400mhz+, There's your requirement listed I guess. Of course that's in the readme, not on the website or box even?

Parky · Jan 31, 2003, 02:02 PM

I have seen it now as well.

It was tucked away not in the main read me file.

In the read me folder, there are 4 more folders one for each app with a read me file in each.

Actually there are lots of read me files, covering all languages.

I know it's there, but boy they make you work hard to find it !!

A bit late once you have bought it as well, nothing on the box about 400Mhz+, just says Macintosh Computer with a G3 or G4 with 256Mb of RAM, as far as I'm concerned my iBook meets those requirements.

schwachs · Jan 31, 2003, 02:11 PM

Thanks for the great details!

Post the files apple!

The Keylime iBook SE wouldn't be able to run iMovie 3.0 because it is 800x600 but it meets all those requirements as it runs at 466 Mhz.

I'll bet you're right. I'm guessing the downloads will be available right at the close of the business day, Pacific time.

Zitax · Jan 31, 2003, 03:18 PM

Will updates be a Software Update run or a direct link from apples website ?
Anyone know if Safari v54 comes out with these updates ?

DigitalEl · 05:18 PM

Nevermind.

zeebe · Jan 31, 2003, 03:47 PM

This really sucks, I am down to roughly an hour before I go and still no links.

Also still no confirmation of my iLife education order. I guess I have to leave my computer on all night to get these at home.

hudson1 · Jan 31, 2003, 04:08 PM

My gosh. Is there something people are expecting and can't live without for a couple of days that's not in the current version of iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie???

freak_in_pekin · Jan 31, 2003, 04:09 PM

I don't know why I'm being so impatient about the downloads. I'm at work -- nowhere near my Mac.

AliP · Jan 31, 2003, 04:15 PM

In software update now

Burn · Jan 31, 2003, 04:18 PM

Yes as reported

iMovie 3.0.1 (84.5MB dl)
iPhoto 2.0 (33.3MB dl)

Woohoo
