[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1503307"] It's confusing, so don't blame yourself for being confused. The name of the product is iPhoto '11 -- note the apostrophe, meant to imply a year (2011). The iWork and iLife products are the only ones Apple makes that use this metaphor, which is very "Microsoft." Anyway, because the product's name refers to the year in which it was released/updated, the actual *version number* of the product is not the same as the year. So iPhoto '11 is also iPhoto 9.4.2 (that's the version I have, but I'm on Mountain Lion). Similarly, Microsoft Word 2011 is actually version 14.something. I think Apple now knows that was a mistake, but it was a goof they made years ago so we're stuck with it now ... [/QUOTE]
