I was so excited to download iLife '11. It has new features for organizing photos, a variety of templates for making memory books and easy slide show options. With the holidays approaching, I can use all the help I can get organizing our photos from the year and designing calendars for our families as gifts. Offering calendars to clients would be a great holiday service.
The download went fine. My pictures and videos converted to the new version quickly. But my excitement was short lived when I went to make a calendar.
The first red flag came when there was no 'calendar' option from the handy display menu. I checked every drop down menu from the toolbar. I couldn't figure out how to find the option to make a calendar - let alone make the calendar - which really seemed counter intuitive to the most intuitive program I've used.
When I attempted to open a previously published calendar, this is the message I got: "Editing and ordering calendars is not currently supported in this version of iPhoto"
WHAT?!!
How can Apple release a new version of iPhoto so close to the holidays and not offer such a high demand option as a calendar?! I was baffled. Can I remove iLife '11 and reinstall my previous iPhoto? What does that do to my photos, which have already been converted to the new versions? Ugh.
I'm pretty disappointed. So disappointed I caught myself looking at this new gizmo from Dell.
It would be fine to work with another online photo ordering company such as shutterfly or snapfish, but I've been an Apple fan for ages. All of the memory books, cards and calendars I've ordered have worked out perfectly and with no inconvenience. Until now.
