little bit ticked...

ok so tonight i go to fire up iDVD, only to discover that it's not there. nowhere in my system at all. maybe some of you have already realized this, but it ticked me off to find out a month and a half after upgrading to panther, that iDVD is not included. now i was not expecting the new iDVD 4 cuz i knew that iLife '04 had just come out when i bought panther, but i thought it would at least come with the most recent version up to that point.

i was planning on buying iLife '04 soon anyways, but when i found this out it really surprised me. i mean what are all the people supposed to do who upgrade from jaguar (like i did) who don't want to shell out $50 just so they can have iDVD? i'm not really so mad, since i was already planning on gettin the new iLife, but i really think this sucks for the people who already had iDVD 3 under jaguar and when they upgrade to panther they don't have it anymore!

what do you all think? am i wrong?

iDVD4 came with panther when i bought it....are you sure that you installed it when going from jag to pan.

Which disk is iDVD on in the Panther package, because it is not part of my install package.

Wapa18, if you still have iDVD 3 you should be able to install it and run it.

install it from the jaguar disks? is that safe to do? like i said it doesn't matter too much since i'm gettin iLife 04 soon (probly today or monday).

oh and trpnmonky, i'm positive it didn't come with the OS. i actually looked at the manual for panther and there's a little star (*) next to the word iDVD that had a message that said "The iDVD application is not included with Mac OS X, but may be installed on your computer".

oh well, off to the apple store

I upgraded from Jag to Panther and have iDVD4....i will take a look using pacifist later to find which disk it is on

Hmmm. I got my powerbook right when panther came out, two weeks before iLife4 came out. I didn't get the iLife package, but all the oler versions came with my powerbook. You should've gotten some form of iDVD...it pretty much ships with every mac computer out there.

well iDVD 3 did ship with my computer, which i got in july. but when i just recently installed panther, it did not come with panther. the rest of the original iLife suite came with panther, just not iDVD.

well...yeah...I don't know what to say...they didn't send them with comps taht didn't have superdrives for a while...but I see you have one...so yeah....I don't know what to tell you.

on a side note, TylerMoney, how do you like pittsburgh? i'm from there but goin to school in springfield, missouri.

Pittsburgh. Well, lets just say I like it much more now than I did 9 months ago. I was living on the North Side...didn't like it much there. Then I moved to the South Side, and living conditioins are much better. The drunks every friday and saturday get annoying..but it could be worse..I could be getting mugged everyday.

But really, the city has some cool stuff. And it looks amazing from this side of the river at night...the weather is a bit much..being from Texas, I wanted to kill my self this winter...I thought it would never end. But the snow is fun. I can honestly say I don't hate pittsburgh. I can also honestly say I'm not going to live here when I graduate. I'm a Texas man, and at least for a while, I'm going back there. But I have to give Pittsburgh some props...it has broken me into this part of the country...it's been an experience. I've mets lots of interesting and fun people, and have experienced things I could have never ecperienced in Texas.

As you can see from my profile I like warm places too. I feel for how it was this past season - I alway look at the national weather and Pittsburgh had it's share and more
