So you are going to thieve iPhoto, as £10 is just too much for you to afford....I guess you must be skint after buying the mac and ipad.

PrinceJohn - I take it you've never tried to install Office 2010 on Windows 95 then?
Nope - cos there are free alternatives...

When you buy all those you know you have to buy everything. Apple are inconsistent when it comes to such things, itunes is free to get people to use it, you get a copy of ilfe for free bundled when you buy a mac, but if you want to keep it up to date every year you have to purchase each element.

There are free alternatives to Mac too.... so that argument is flawed...

But it doesn't have a shiny apple on it.......I'll be honest, i used to want a Mac and an I-phone, but as I get older I see the prices going through the roof and more people bending over.

You only know what you need to get full functionality if you read the specifications properly. The OP clearly didn't.
I got a copy of iLife 09 when i bought my last Mac, but if i want the upgrade and new functions of iLife 11 i don't expect it for free. Updates and upgrades are different.
When i upgraded to iOS5 on my iPad i knew i wouldn't be able to mirror it with my television through Apple TV because that only works on iPad 2s. I don't get all annoyed because i'll have to buy a new iPad to use that function.

I have a new Mac Mini with iPhoto 11 installed. I wanted the photo streaming from my phone, tried the App Store upgrade route, it said can't do that, the software is already installed. Looked at installed software to get an update, but iPhoto isn't listed. Brainwave; went to apple.co.uk, support, software upgrades. Found a whole bunch of uprades including the upgrade to allow Photo Stream in iCloud and iOS5. Downloaded it and installed it and it works fine. Cost?
Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Nothing. Instead of being a whiney little girl, perhaps the OP might like to actually use the fracking Internet and find out stuff.Posted 7 months ago # -

these threads always make me laugh. you cant even mention apple on here without somebody banging on about how youre a fanboy. why cant people own it and[u] moan about it? if you dont like apple for whatever reason, dont post on an apple thread. same as if you dont like the alternatives dont post on those threads either. if you dont like iphones, dont buy one. but why people then feel the need to abuse people who do buy them is beyond me. all these threads turn into are willy waving contests.
whatever happened to each to their own.
i buy heinz baked beans. i know that there are other products available for cheaper that are essentially the same thing. but i like heinz ones. i can afford them (get me) so i buy them. i dont feel the need to stand down the bean isle in asda hurling abuse at the people buying own brand beans.

he's had os upgrades forced on him
Forced how?
My Mac still works fine on Leopard, just cos I haven't gotten round to buying the latest OS. To date no bailiffs have been round to strongarm me into installing Snow Leopard or Lion.Posted 7 months ago # -

Too late now - but if it's an recent mac, you had iPhoto '11 on your system disks and can install with a few clicks.. no need for the purchase!Posted 7 months ago #
