I still have a 2008 Mac that works, iLife was amazing! iMovie and GarageBand were lightyears ahead of Windows at the time, I'd bet Apple is largely responsible for a lot of creators beginnings. Love your channel!
yeah, i downloaded it recently from apple's website, where they still host downloads for it for whatever reason. however, it asked for a serial number, but i couldn't find any online.
It's worth mentioning that iWork itself also grew out of ClarisWorks/AppleWorks, which was a similar suite of applications for classic macOS (which in turn were based on AppleWorks from the Apple II series). Numbers actually still feels a lot like I remember the AppleWorks spreadsheet working.
There was a tool called Front Row. It featured a shared gui for both audio and video and was bundled with a remote control and some devices (Mac mini) so could have a media player and Apple TV without sitting at a desk. Gone several years ago.
i remember the iCards one .. they had a really cool and warm-feeling video showing these hand made, traditionally pressed cards .. i always wanted to order one
I’ve only found your channel around 2 days ago and I’m already binge watching all of your content! Every single video here is somehow related to a topic I’ve always wanted to learn more about. This channel is such a gem, really!
Ah, iLife '03. That was the first time I ever edited video on a computer using iMovie. I believe it came bundled with generic footage of a family washing their dog you could use to practice with. Fun times.
I remember (and had) both disc versions of iLife and iWork on a 2010 Macbook Pro. Never saw much utility in iLife, but both Pages and Keynote let you create much more beautiful documents and presentations than anything Microsoft was offering at the time.
What about Apple Aperture? It used to be a solid competitor/alternative for Adobe Lightroom, it was actually used for so many professional photographers but then one day, all of a sudden, the software disappeared
iWork is a rewrite of legacy Clariswork while iLife was based digital hub strategy and iMovie was the first launched in 1999 as the consumer version of Final Cut Pro.
God, iLife was so cool to me as a kid. So organized and cohesive. Never had a mac when i was younger and now i do, and honestly it does feel organized and cohesive haha. Mail, calendar, notes, reminders, iMovie, GarageBand, etc... stock apps are great.
I remember iLife very well. I got my first Mac in 2008. I want a Mac since I was about 12...finally got it at age 37. That white plastic MacBook was amazing and I even blogged to iWeb. Not only did OS X set Apple apart from Windows but the iLife Suite and Mobile Me (along with iPhone 3G) just added even more value on top. It was a glorious tool set that let you do so much and make the Mac a home productivity machine like no other.
You’re making me feel old hahah. Solid video though! I actually don’t totally remember iTools but iLife was my entire childhood and I always thought .mac looked sick but had no reason or means of paying for it.
What a high quality video, I wasn't expecting the likes, views, and subscribers to be so low! It's on par with many other youtubers that are much larger!
I really miss iCards, and the long-lost mail templates for occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. "Devolution" is the best description I can come up with.
Great video! There's always more, though haha. You forgot about AppleWorks (previously ClarisWorks), which was the predecessor to iWork (and you could argue was the successor to the old original MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw software of the late-1980s and early-1990s).
Wow this brings back memories of Highschool nearly 15 years ago. Wild how much has changed in terms of digital and internet-based education for kids now and will continue to evolve into the 2030’s and 40’s!
My first own computer was Apple Powerbook G4 and later I got iLife 'O5 for it. Garageband was really fun software and iMovie HD was a really easy-to-use video editor. My later computers have been Linux or Windows PCs so I have tried to find a good alternative to iMovie but all other video editors have been very annoying to use even though they have had tons of more features than iMovie HD had.
0:27 I am using this wallpaper right now, the last wallpaper of Mac OS Tiger, on a M2 mac. It remains me of those lovely time of 2005, which I have never experienced.
This brings a smile to my face! I remember all of those things. Actually, that's how I remember Mac, since I was one of those who grew up with it and then "switched" the other way, in 2011. Well, I had to go back to my Mac for certain stuff for a couple more years, because I was so well-versed with the software. I particularly remember how they butchered iMovie in one of the releases, making the timeline non-linear. That's when I stepped up to Final Cut Express. Came to think of AppleWorks as well, so I went to see if I could find footage of it. You don't happen to have made a vid on it many years ago? Because it sounded so much like you, haha. Cheers!
There was also the short lived Mac Box Set, an upgrade package that included both Mac OS X, iLife and iWork. There were Leopard and Snow Leopard versions of it.
Miss the Frutiger Aero designs of yesteryear. I'm surprised the later version of iWork still has some semblance to it (it's not flat design and has that glossy look that Frutiger Aero is known for).
Keynote was the first "iWork" app to be released. Then, the first real version of iWork included Keynote and Pages. It wasn't until the third version that Numbers came out... Pretty cool video!
Thank you, for this excellent "Blast from the Past" video. However, as an Apple computer user since 1996, I still live and operate mostly in the past, when it comes to mac desktop and laptop systems. All computers in my collection able to run a version of OS X, each have an installed copy of both iLife '09 and iWorks '09. What, I enjoy the most about the '09 software versions is that they work perfectly well on both Apple G4 and G5 Power systems and on Apple Intel systems (smile...smile). If you have not done one already, please do a look back at my favorite Apple photo editing software called Aperture (smile...smile).
I HATE iCloud & Apple's constant nagging for me to buy more storage & that my iMac stores every video on my hard drive or now where ever it stores in on my Silicon M1 Mac mini. Applecare & I spent 4 hours trying to find just WHERE my videos were being saved on my 2010 iMac so I could deter them as all the extra videos were filling up my hard drive. I cannot get my Mac mini to recognize my external hard drive to move photos and video to them yet it knows if I disconnect them which is nuts.
I am possibly one of Apple's biggest fans. I own every device that has been released at least 1x. And still I knew about iWork, iLife etc.. But nice video, thanks for your upload!!11OneOneEleven
That bit with Steve Jobs doing a post-mortem of the suboptimal MobileMe release is really interesting, that kind of self-reflection sounds like it played an important role in how they constantly evolved. I wonder if Apple still has that kind of culture today.
In 2012 (after Jobs died), Tim Cook fired Scott Forstall due to the Maps fiasco. They did a similar thing where they basically put out a PR statement about how it wasn't up to their standards. And while Jony Ive did voluntarily leave Apple, there's rumors that the infamous butterfly keyboards might have played a role in that decision. So Apple does seem to still admit defeat on occasion.
it's so weird thinking of software I used daily and thought nothing else of now being considered old and obscure. I remember making sites in iWeb and burning disks in iDVD
Since I go back to 1985 and 512K, I miss Write, Paint, Draw, etc. While more recent apps are more powerful, they’re actually harder to use, and even less intuitive.
Back in the day, getting the iLife apps was a great deal. Garageband and iMovie were especially cool and were instrumental in the early days of web content creation back when most people on TH-cam were just teens playing around on the family computer. Without free and easy to use tools like that, making videos online would have been much less accessible.
I remember all of these. Iwork 2013 was the last version I used, haven't owned a Mac since 2014, but I've not owned a computer since. Have done everything I needed on iPad, galaxy tabs & multitude of ios devices as well as android devices.
ah memories, i signed up for iTools the day it was released and then payed the $99 a year fee for .mac. been using that same email address all these years!
Great overview, I'd have loved to have heard more in depth about softwares such as iWeb, Aperture, Sherlock, how many users complained about the transition of pages 09 to the later versions for example. But cool video!
IIRC there was also iWork ‘11…not sure what the differences were between it and ‘09 but I remember documents not being cross-compatible for some reason.
I remember when they got ride if the iPhoto app, my teacher at school was showing us how to use our school iPads and she said that they won’t be showing us how to use iPhoto because it’s going to be deleted soon and not to worry because everything from iPhoto will be moved to the regular “Photos” app but she was sooo wrong, they added a few new things to the photos app but that’s it, 95% of what you could do in iPhoto was deleted for ever
I actually have a really old iMac running Mac OS X tiger and I learned all about these old services and applications and even got my hands on iLife 08, it’s really cool to see this old tech and to use it, i gotta get IWork 08 now and iMovie for the iMac lol
your videos strike a mix of nostalgia and just plain interest to me, great work!
Thank you! :)
I still have a 2008 Mac that works, iLife was amazing! iMovie and GarageBand were lightyears ahead of Windows at the time, I'd bet Apple is largely responsible for a lot of creators beginnings. Love your channel!
Garage band is still the most intuitive recording software I've seen.
I also have a 2008/9 iMac that works - Garageband changed my life 🥹
Same with front row and Snow Leopard and no password!
I like how concise and straightforward your videos are; things that countless other TH-cam channels lack. Keep it up!
They're concise yet packed with details!
They're superficial yet trivial!
Aperture is also somewhat forgotten but was a great professional photo software that I wish they still supported and updated.
Agree. Really loved using it. I wish they would bring it back.
yeah, i downloaded it recently from apple's website, where they still host downloads for it for whatever reason. however, it asked for a serial number, but i couldn't find any online.
It's worth mentioning that iWork itself also grew out of ClarisWorks/AppleWorks, which was a similar suite of applications for classic macOS (which in turn were based on AppleWorks from the Apple II series). Numbers actually still feels a lot like I remember the AppleWorks spreadsheet working.
Your channel is my exact niche interest when it comes to software, design, and so on. Thank you for these contributions!!!
There was a tool called Front Row. It featured a shared gui for both audio and video and was bundled with a remote control and some devices (Mac mini) so could have a media player and Apple TV without sitting at a desk. Gone several years ago.
It was basically the original AppleTV GUI for Mac
Ye, it's like the Apple version of Windows Media Centre
i remember the iCards one .. they had a really cool and warm-feeling video showing these hand made, traditionally pressed cards .. i always wanted to order one
I love your channel, watching every video now. Not many channels focus on things from the early 2000s
I’ve only found your channel around 2 days ago and I’m already binge watching all of your content! Every single video here is somehow related to a topic I’ve always wanted to learn more about. This channel is such a gem, really!
Ah, iLife '03. That was the first time I ever edited video on a computer using iMovie. I believe it came bundled with generic footage of a family washing their dog you could use to practice with. Fun times.
I love your videos 🤗 You don't have many but I enjoyed every single one of them.
Thank you!
Stumbled upon your frutiger video and ive been hooked since
Can you rate Mac OS design eras: Primitive, Platinum/Color, Aqua, Skeumorphic, Flat Transition (only mavericks), Flat, and iOS-like
System 7 was an era of its own
6 months later lol
skeuomorphic reigns supreme
Platinum is where it's at
Mavericks was more skeuomorphic than flat
I remember (and had) both disc versions of iLife and iWork on a 2010 Macbook Pro. Never saw much utility in iLife, but both Pages and Keynote let you create much more beautiful documents and presentations than anything Microsoft was offering at the time.

this. channel. is. AMAZING. keep up the great work, with each video im hanging onto your every word and i just discovered it yesterday!
This channel covers such lucrative tech topics. Thanks for the excellent videos 👍
iWork is a rewrite of legacy Clariswork while iLife was based digital hub strategy and iMovie was the first launched in 1999 as the consumer version of Final Cut Pro.
4:16 am I the only one that thinks that iWork 05 looks like the cover to a Pixar film
God, iLife was so cool to me as a kid. So organized and cohesive. Never had a mac when i was younger and now i do, and honestly it does feel organized and cohesive haha. Mail, calendar, notes, reminders, iMovie, GarageBand, etc... stock apps are great.
No political references, and dose videos of old tech and aesthetics from my childhood? you've earned a sub
Did… did people really not know this? Am I old because I miss iPhoto?
I was an original iTools user so I’ve lived through it all. I kind of miss homepage and iWeb.
Great vid, I never heard of .mac before! Would love to see other forgotten software, hardware, anything!
I didn't know what to expect for your next video, but I am pleasantly surprised. Snow Leopard is the best operating system ever in my opinion.
bruh your channel covers literally everything i love i stg lol ill do any video backround music if you want
I’m soo happy I found this channel!
Love your vids, so well produced
I remember iLife very well. I got my first Mac in 2008. I want a Mac since I was about 12...finally got it at age 37.

iLife music assets exist within Soundtrack Pro 3's SFX/music library. It's not forgotten entirely; just lacks usage.
You’re making me feel old hahah. Solid video though! I actually don’t totally remember iTools but iLife was my entire childhood and I always thought .mac looked sick but had no reason or means of paying for it.
What a high quality video, I wasn't expecting the likes, views, and subscribers to be so low! It's on par with many other youtubers that are much larger!
Cool stuff:) thanks for the flashback and nostalgia
I really miss iCards, and the long-lost mail templates for occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. "Devolution" is the best description I can come up with.
4:38 In nowadays Currency, iWork costs $ 79 which if we converted to Rupiah it's equivalent around Rp. 1.230.000.
This is a pretty well done video!
Great video! There's always more, though haha. You forgot about AppleWorks (previously ClarisWorks), which was the predecessor to iWork (and you could argue was the successor to the old original MacWrite, MacPaint, MacDraw software of the late-1980s and early-1990s).

here before this channel blows up
Damn, this is taking me down some nostalgic paths... :)
I just saw you got 1,000 more subscribers from yesterday to today, congratulations on being rewarded for your hard work!

I am using this wallpaper right now, the last wallpaper of Mac OS Tiger, on a M2 mac.
It remains me of those lovely time of 2005, which I have never experienced.
I just discovered your channel, I LOVE IT, you talk about the things I wanna hear, I really enjoy your content c:
Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
iWork to get through all these videos after I recently discovered this channel
THE MICROWAVE AT 1:32 HAHHAHAHAHA
Appleworks:"What about me?" *cricket chirps*
Also from 2005-2014, a pro counterpart to iLife’s iPhotos was Aperture, just as Final Cut Pro was their pro counterpart to iLife’s iMovie.
And they really burned their bridges when they abandoned it leaving users (and buyers) up S.C..
This channel is satisfying asf
4:13 iWork was a Competitor of Microsoft Office, but from Apple.
Ayo i habe no idea that this exists,thank u for making dis video
GarageBand is how I got my start with daws and music creation in general.
I now use Studio One and Fruityloops for my stuff now.
Man your videos are amazing keep them up! 💯
This brings a smile to my face! I remember all of those things. Actually, that's how I remember Mac, since I was one of those who grew up with it and then "switched" the other way, in 2011.

*whispers* I never forgot you, iLife 06
There was also the short lived Mac Box Set, an upgrade package that included both Mac OS X, iLife and iWork. There were Leopard and Snow Leopard versions of it.
Oh my, you take me back.
iWeb was a great app for designing websites very advaced by its time unfortunately they stop its development
I still use iWork 09’ on my 2011 Macbook Pro. It’s interface for Pages is better than the new ones.
You can go back even further than 2000 to Apple’s first online service called eworld which operated from 1994 to 96. pre-macOS though system 9
So forgotten I still remember when iOS 12 preinstalled the whole iWork suite onto people’s iPhones
it’s interesting how the iTools icon became the Network settings in Big Sur and Monterrey
Here before this youtuber explodes, let that be on the record. I can bet that you will reach a million subs by 2024.
I got my email name the moment iTools was launched. Within an hour. And 22 years later I’m still with it!
Miss the Frutiger Aero designs of yesteryear. I'm surprised the later version of iWork still has some semblance to it (it's not flat design and has that glossy look that Frutiger Aero is known for).

never heard of iwork until today thanks
I do remember those two, so much so that i still use a three-letter email address on icloud dating back to mobile me

your channel has all the random odd shi im interested in
I’d totally forgotten about iLife that’s such a blast of nostalgia
good video. I grew up with those kind of apple events and not apple airpods or speakeres. Was a good software

Is am surprised you didn’t mention Aperture. This one was the saddest loss for me.
Your videos are awesome ASF
IIRC there was also iWork ‘11…not sure what the differences were between it and ‘09 but I remember documents not being cross-compatible for some reason.
Mobile Me was awesome giving everyone an ad-free website with a few back-end tweaks, iCloud really was a major downgrade from it.
i really REALLY like your voice it seems. im amaze.
This channel is so goated ⭐⭐⭐⭐
4:24 my career in a nutshell
Me: still rocking my @me address.
I remember when they got ride if the iPhoto app, my teacher at school was showing us how to use our school iPads and she said that they won’t be showing us how to use iPhoto because it’s going to be deleted soon and not to worry because everything from iPhoto will be moved to the regular “Photos” app but she was sooo wrong, they added a few new things to the photos app but that’s it, 95% of what you could do in iPhoto was deleted for ever
I remember all of those. I guess I‘m getting old.
1:32 the microwave 😂
I remember because my dad got them in boxes with his mac, this was in 2007 I think
At 1:34 The windows machine looks just like the fist computer i ever used and the one I had came with a HP 2009M Monitor Which I still have lol.
I actually have a really old iMac running Mac OS X tiger and I learned all about these old services and applications and even got my hands on iLife 08, it’s really cool to see this old tech and to use it, i gotta get IWork 08 now and iMovie for the iMac lol
