[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1036332"] One point Bob didn't mention that I think may make things clearer on this (so he doesn't seem unsympathetic because I know he isn't): Because iLife is so ridiculously low-priced ($79US), Apple does not have an "upgrade fee" when they upgrade iLife, everyone is just expected to buy the new version (if they decide they want it) for the same incredibly reasonable fee. The problem in your situation is that unless your new model is exactly the same as the model that was stolen, those "older" discs you have won't work, so as you put it the discs belong to the laptop that was stolen, rather than to you per se. If you had insurance on your laptop (perhaps through your homeowners' policy), the cost of replacement software might also be included. Otherwise, you'll need to buy a new legal copy of iLife -- check Ebay and Amazon (et al) for the best deal possible. [/QUOTE]
