Apple releases iWork, iPhoto, Safari, Aperture, iMovie updates




Apple has released updates to iWork, iPhoto and Safari, each offering compatibility with Mountain Lion, which shipped today (our review).
The iWork suite (Pages, Keynote and Numbers) now offers iCloud & Retina MacBook Pro support. iCloud support will let users begin working on one device, stop and then resume on another compatible Mac or iOS device. With iCloud, changes are synced across all devices automatically.

iPhoto 9.3.2, available today, lets users share photos via Messages and Twitter. Finally, Safari 6 has a unified search field/address bar, much like Google's Chrome. You'll also find support for Reading List offline, iCloud tabs and compliance with Do Not Track.

  1. Fixes an issue related to third-party QuickTime components that could cause iMovie to quit unexpectedly.
