iLife is a suite of software applications created by Apple, designed for Mac OS X. These programs are used to create, organize, view and publish digital content, such as pictures, movies, music, and web pages. Released in August 2007, iLife '08 consists of five applications: iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb. The application suite is included with all new Macintosh computers, and is also available for purchase separately.
Origins
After his return to CEO at Apple, Steve Jobs began positioning the Macintosh to be the hub of his vision of the digital lifestyle. The original iMac was the first step in developing this concept. It put a new face on not only the Macintosh computer, but computing in general, as PC companies began to change their form factor designs as well. To address the concerns of prospective Macintosh buyers outside of Apple's core design, programming, and media industry niches, Apple has developed a growing suite of high-quality consumer-oriented software with a distinctive unified look and feel. The development of the iPod and its continuing popularity in the portable music player market, in conjunction with iTunes and the iTunes Store have helped Apple to re-emerge as one of the important companies in the personal computer market.The first versions of iMovie, iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb were released in that order. The first three programs were originally available free via Apple's website, while iDVD was available only with computers that included SuperDrives.
In January 2003, the programs were packaged together as "iLife".
While iTunes remains a free program, the latest versions of the other components are only available through the purchase of the iLife package or bundled with a new Macintosh computer.
On August 7, 2007, Apple released iLife '08. The company said that this is their most significant upgrade ever to the company's suite of digital lifestyle applications, featuring a major new version of iPhoto and a completely reprogrammed iMovie. iPhoto '08 automatically organizes photo libraries into Events that lets users more easily manage their growing photo collections, and iMovie '08 introduces a new way for users to quickly make movies and share them online.

Components
iPhoto
iPhoto is a photograph organizer and editor that lets users store, view, edit, and share their digital photos. iPhoto allows its user to create photo albums to display pictures on the Internet or on CD, create slideshows for instant on-computer presentation, construct calendars and greetings cards from photographs, and the ability to "photocast" photo albums. iPhoto can also import from most digital cameras with no drivers required (built into Mac OS X by default).
iMovie
iMovie is a video editor that can be used with digital video. The process of film capture by a digital camera via FireWire is automated, with iMovie allowing users to chop up their videos, add special effects, and reorganize them. It is also compatible with flash MPEG 4 cameras, HDV cameras, and the Apple iSight.
iDVD
iDVD integrates with iMovie to allow the burning of movies onto a DVD with chapters and menus.
GarageBand
GarageBand is a music-creation and podcasting application that includes over 1,000 pre-recorded loops. To create a song, the user only needs to drag loops onto the creation area. The program also supports software instruments and importation from real instruments, such as guitars and keyboards.
Garage Band '08 is now more user friendly than ever. Users can label parts of an individual song (i.e. chorus, verse #) for easier manipulating capabilities without having to memorize time within a song. Also, Apple has integrated the ability to play as either a guitar, base, or even a saxophone. Last off, Garage Band has added a new feature for people that are just learning how to play with music and are not too familiar with audio editing software, allowing users to switch between nine genres of music including: jazz, country, rock, roots, reggae, blues, slow blues, funk, and Latin.
iWeb
iWeb is a product that was released at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 10, 2006. This product provides the ability to share content from the other iLife applications using Apple templates, and with one-click uploading to .Mac. The application also allows users to create links to their own podcasts and photocasts from the webpage. This is the latest application added to the iLife suite.
