Does my Mac Book come with iDVD

Trying to burn a video I made from iMovie and need to know if my Macbook Pro is supposed to come with iDVD.

It is not in the App Store so I don't know how you would obtain one.


All the good software is on disk.


iDVD has NOT been discontinued.


In fact, it is currently sold by Apple on their website.

If you are still within your 15 day return period, nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.

Hi, I had the same problem! I bought an IMac a few weeks ago with no IWeb or IDVD bundled. Call Apple support & air your grievances (they'll be understanding but don't have the authority to do any more than that), then ask to speak to a senior advisor by requesting a callback (they pay the call charges). Explain your issue to the senior advisor & that should do the trick. Within a week I received a free copy of ILife 11. It worked for me & I know it has worked for others so it should for you (as long as you don't swear at them!)


Good luck, keep calm & maintain your creativity!

It's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD. There hasn't been an update to either of those applicaitons since July 11, 2011.




HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.
