iWeb’s a biggie 90MB!
No way! I can’t believe they updated iLife twice in the same day!
Oh wait… it’s the same update they released about 10 hours ago.
This news is ***OLD***
It’s a bit funny how the descriptions in Software Update are noticeably different from the ones available online. Not a big deal though…just a little quirky.
And yes, iWeb is quite a large update.
MW: “and” ; there’s really nothing interesting to say about “and.”
Don’t take the cheese.
– Bill Parcells
You know – this is really only small step forward for iWeb…sure it adds comments and searching, but only using a .Mac account.
And the new templates?! They still don’t let you change a template once you select one…come on – how cheap can they get?
Once you can change templates on existing sites and publish to non-.Mac accounts (without the convoluted process) and maintain comments, etc….then it will be something cool….
AWESOME! Just in time to make the iLife apps on the new MacBook announced on Tuesday work so much better.
Hey Matt — grow up and quit whining. So what if MDN posted it a little late — how much do you pay for the service? Sheeesh
From the iWeb update info page: “Comment support for blogs and podcasts (.Mac published sites only)”
Come on Apple, surely you can do better than that! Stop trying to force people to subscribe to .Mac and let them get full functionality with their hosting company of choice. Web standards!
MDN Magic Word: “not”, I’m not impressed
Why oh why is Software Update dependent on leaving applications in their original installed locations? I created an iLife 06 folder in my applications folder, but had to remove the apps (or download the separate installers – thanks for the links MDN.) Pages and iWork were installed in an iLife 06 folder, but not so with iLife. This inconsistency is the bane of my Mac loving existence. Oh, the frustration. Why, Apple, why?
iWeb crashes after update. Not amused!
Well, I hope we now can use iPhoto-homepage with its simple but nice templates as in iLife 05 again. That I think is a real disadvantage using iLife 06 using .mac.
hello Apple do you read.. MDN ?!
How about Keynote?
I love how this once great Apple site now has ads for competing products to Apple.
“Download” is an ad for an iTunes competitor.
This may be the tackiest site on the web. At least dump the ads in the text.
Pretty disgraceful, and a crying shame since this site used to be pretty cool.
What’s next, MDN is going to buddy up to Rob Glazer? “Hey Rob, sorry about the whole donut thing.”
That’s how much I pay for things…
That’s why I pay nothing for MDN.
Mmmm donuts…
Hold off with the iWeb update. It’s trashed my site and there are several hundred people on the support forums who are having the same problem (false errors reported on uploading pics etc). It may be server overload – it may be not. I should wait a few days if I were you and see if there’s a 1.1.1
Yes, kinda funny seeing the two MSN ads below these “Add your feedback” text input boxes!
Sellin’ your soul to the devil for a little bit o’ pocket change. They must have made a really good offer for you to trash your morals so quickly… if you had them in the first place.
“Business is business; anything for a little profit.” The battle cry of the Ferengi and Republicans.
A few of the “Ferengi Rules of Acquisition”…
13. Anything worth doing is worth doing for money.
21. Never place friendship above profit.
97. Enough … is never enough.
106. There is no honour in poverty.
121. Everything is for sale, even friendship.
144. There’s nothing wrong with charity … as long as it winds up in your pocket.
189. Let others keep their reputation. You keep their money.
202. The justification for profit is profit.
239. Never be afraid to mislabel a product.
242. More is good … all is better.
261. A wealthy man can afford anything except a conscience.
284. Deep down everyone’s a Ferengi.

Kinda like Vice President’s former company making billions from a war. If that’s not a conflict of interest, I’d like to know what is!
Speaking of conflict of interest… MDN, nice MSN ads!
When will Apple release an update that allows ical’s colours to be used in their on line calendars?
Blank templates and the ability to open images in a new window in iweb and to drag music on to a page without adding an image box?
The ilife apps are amazingly simple and user friendly but it really does need some advanced features building in or the ability to turn off some features, even if it means putting up the price for ilife Pro?
“iLife ’06 Updates”
And QuickTime 7.1 with security fixes is on Update this morning.
I never cease to be amazed at how small and petty many of the posters on this site can be.
Rejecting, dissing, belittling, humiliating, and otherwise crapping on everything is the order of the day for many of you folks.
If you can’t poop on it, it’s not worth talking about, huh.
I feel such a fool. Blank pages are in!
Buckminster,
I run a rehearsal studio complex and keep an calendar on line for people to check room availability. Ical on line is a bit confusing when room 1 is in light blue and room 2 is in light blue too. It’d be easier to work out if one was in blue and the other in red or something. That’s all.
I life is great. Couldn’t function at all without these apps and address book etc. Dot mac intergration could be better, though. It costs enough.

DO NOT download the new update if you use iWeb at all. The apple forums are completely full of people who now can’t publish their webpages because of a similar publishing error related to .png files.
I repeat, DO NOT DONLOAD iWeb 1.1!!!!! You will be sorry.
On a similar note, does anyone have a fix? Does anyone yet know how to avoid this problem? I have been spending hours and hours on the apple forums and no one can figure it out!
The Apple store on the web site is down! Something new is coming!
Their releasing Red iPods to support Bono’s ‘Red’ Africa/AIDs charity’s aren’t they?
In the UK today they’ve launched a cross-network ‘Red’ branded cell phone (http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-server-PageServer?ARTICLE=MAIN.UK.INTERNET.STATIC.CPWOFFERS.MOTL7RED.MAIN), and Bono’s acted as Editor of one of our national newspapers (http://www.independent.co.uk/), so this was supposed to coincide with these two events…
