Hey,

I just realised that I've only got iLife '09 on my latest MacBook Pro which I got about 2months ago. I thought I was meant to get iLife '11 preinstalled.

Any ideas?

Two months ago - it was only released 2 months ago on Oct. 20.

If you bought it on or after that date, depends on who you bought it from - Apple or a 3rd party reseller.

It also means your Mac was manufactured prior to that date.
Check the other materials you received. Some have a drop in disc to upgrade to '11.
Heard if it didn't have the upgrade disc in the box, you could call Apple and get it for $20 here in the U.S.
Or, if you bought your Mac within a couple of weeks prior to it's release.

I actually got it a month ago sorry, I meant November. I'll double check the disks to see I haven't already got it. I got my Mac from an Apple Store.

Thanks for the reply.

OK, I thought they would have preinstalled it, however they just give you the disk to do it yourself.

Sorted
