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!
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
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
I used to love the 2000's MacOs and iOs interface's (up to iOS 6). Along with Windows XP and Vista/7. The skeuomorphic design along with those uplifting and utopic Frutiger Aero aesthetic defined the childhood of a lot of people from our generation (Gen Y and early gen Z) 😌
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
I miss the KISS iWeb software. Even without feature update I wish Apple had updated it to work with 64 bit macOS/UNIX, and now M series microprocessors.
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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).
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
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).
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 RUclips 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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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
ilife and iwork still exist ! they just are bundled in with all apple products now - they still have ilife and iwork '09 ! iphoto has been turned into photos , and idvd is now a standard DVD burning, imaging, and viewing application that's bundled in with the macs coreservices folder :)
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.
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!
your videos strike a mix of nostalgia and just plain interest to me, great work!
Thank you! :)
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.
I like how concise and straightforward your videos are; things that countless other RUclips channels lack. Keep it up!
They're concise yet packed with details!
They're superficial yet trivial!
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
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 love your videos 🤗 You don't have many but I enjoyed every single one of them.
Thank you!
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
Your channel is my exact niche interest when it comes to software, design, and so on. Thank you for these contributions!!!
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

I love your channel, watching every video now. Not many channels focus on things from the early 2000s
Love your vids, so well produced
This channel covers such lucrative tech topics. Thanks for the excellent videos 👍
Stumbled upon your frutiger video and ive been hooked since
Cool stuff:) thanks for the flashback and nostalgia
Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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’m soo happy I found this channel!
4:16 am I the only one that thinks that iWork 05 looks like the cover to a Pixar film

True.
I miss that stuff.
I just discovered your channel, I LOVE IT, you talk about the things I wanna hear, I really enjoy your content c:
this. channel. is. AMAZING. keep up the great work, with each video im hanging onto your every word and i just discovered it yesterday!
Man your videos are amazing keep them up! 💯

This is a pretty well done video!
I just saw you got 1,000 more subscribers from yesterday to today, congratulations on being rewarded for your hard work!

Damn, this is taking me down some nostalgic paths... :)
Great vid, I never heard of .mac before! Would love to see other forgotten software, hardware, anything!
This channel is satisfying asf
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.
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).
iLife music assets exist within Soundtrack Pro 3's SFX/music library. It's not forgotten entirely; just lacks usage.
Your videos are awesome ASF
I miss the KISS iWeb software. Even without feature update I wish Apple had updated it to work with 64 bit macOS/UNIX, and now M series microprocessors.
here before this channel blows up

bruh your channel covers literally everything i love i stg lol ill do any video backround music if you want
Fun and interesting. Thank you.
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!
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.
Love your channel
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..
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!
Thanks for your video. That made me think of my past…
4:38 In nowadays Currency, iWork costs $ 79 which if we converted to Rupiah it's equivalent around Rp. 1.230.000.
Awesome video!
Oh my, you take me back.
I was an original iTools user so I’ve lived through it all. I kind of miss homepage and iWeb.
iWork to get through all these videos after I recently discovered this channel
I still use iWork 09’ on my 2011 Macbook Pro. It’s interface for Pages is better than the new ones.
This channel is so goated ⭐⭐⭐⭐
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!
Ayo i habe no idea that this exists,thank u for making dis video
Thank you
never heard of iwork until today thanks
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.
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
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.
Did… did people really not know this? Am I old because I miss iPhoto?
Appleworks:"What about me?" *cricket chirps*
good video. I grew up with those kind of apple events and not apple airpods or speakeres. Was a good software
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.
omg so many memories unlocked 😂
4:13 iWork was a Competitor of Microsoft Office, but from Apple.
I do remember those two, so much so that i still use a three-letter email address on icloud dating back to mobile me
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.

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).
No political references, and dose videos of old tech and aesthetics from my childhood? you've earned a sub
Nice video!
*whispers* I never forgot you, iLife 06
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
This is so vauage & paralleled well for me lol.
Good videos
your channel has all the random odd shi im interested in
I’d totally forgotten about iLife that’s such a blast of nostalgia
I originally used iMovie and some other tools from the iLife package long time ago with my old MacBook Air running on 10.6.
it’s interesting how the iTools icon became the Network settings in Big Sur and Monterrey

So forgotten I still remember when iOS 12 preinstalled the whole iWork suite onto people’s iPhones
I remember all of those. I guess I‘m getting old.
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
Cool videos man

Here before this youtuber explodes, let that be on the record. I can bet that you will reach a million subs by 2024.
I still have iLife and iWork DVDs in my collection
Lived all eras! Since 1998
ilife and iwork still exist ! they just are bundled in with all apple products now - they still have ilife and iwork '09 ! iphoto has been turned into photos , and idvd is now a standard DVD burning, imaging, and viewing application that's bundled in with the macs coreservices folder :)
