Hi Ronni I'm interested and confused by your reply to Alan. Perhaps you have already dealt with the issues I will raise, and if so I'm sorry I didn't read more carefully before.
After I read your reply to Alan I did a search and discovered that there are new versions of iPhoto - 9.5 I have 11 9.4.3 iMovie - 10.0 I have 11 9.0.9 GarageBand Not currently using it Pages - 5.0 I have 09 4.3 Numbers Not currently using it Keynote - 6.0 I have 09 5.3 In the blurb, Apple of course claim that the new Apps are so much better. I use iPhoto, iMovie and Pages a lot, and Keynote a little. If I want to continue using them, do I have to do something or can I just carry on and resolutely refuse to download any associated Apps? Or, are the new Apps worth downloading for the "improved" experience?
