Apple Updates Entire iLife Suite for Mac OS X

Updates to the five applications comprising Apple’s iLife '11 suite have emerged overnight, all five addressing compatibility, performance, and stability.

GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb and iDVD have received updates that support general compatibility issues and address overall stability and performance.

GarageBand 6.0.4 fixes an issue with the GarageBand Lesson Store not completing single or multiple lesson downloads.

It also corrects issues with some tempo-based effects falling out of sync with main song tempo and resolves problems with Magic GarageBand project files not opening correctly in the GarageBand tracks view.

Apple recommends the update to all users of GarageBand '11.

iPhoto 9.1.5 addresses “major” issues according to Cupertino.

Those who update to the new version will see the date range of each event update correctly to reflect changes made to photos using the Adjust Time and Date command.

An issue that could cause the Photos view to scroll incorrectly when Event Titles are displayed is fixed, as is a problem that could prevent Ken Burns animations from being applied correctly on photos in a saved Classic slideshow.

Also fixed by iPhoto 9.1.5, deleting photos from a web album using the contextual menu now removes them from the album without erasing them from the library completely.

Finally, an issue that could prevent a crop adjustment from being removed from a photo when using the Revert to Original command has been corrected as well.

Moving onto iMovie 9.0.4, users will now be able to open projects imported from iMovie for iOS.

The new iMovie also fixes an issue where some audio adjustments were not preserved, and includes other performance tweaks.

iWeb 3.0.4 only improves overall stability and addresses a number of minor issues, according to the company behind Mac OS and iOS.

Last, but not least, iDVD 7.1.2 enhances the reliability of imported iPhoto '11 slideshows, fixes a problem that could prevent files from re-linking, and addresses an issue that could cause the application to use all available CPU capacity when searching for files that are missing. Some of the aforementioned updates require Mac OS X 10.6.8, the latest version of Snow Leopard.
