Yep, it's telling me it cannot be done... is there a forum where I can find info on how to fix permissions. I don't wanna keep on bugging...

your best bet is in terminal. navigate to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
then, do:

sudo pico com.apple.boot.plist

make your edits, hit ctrl-x (IIRC, it's automatic now, so I'm not 100% sure) to save the file, then reboot.

Anyone know how to fix the crashes?

Any opinions on TechTool Pro 4.5? Is it worth the 100 bucks? It is the Universal Binary one... Anyone?

Same here (except I only have iPhoto. I'm somewhat annoyed by the iWork stuff... I think I might have to upgrade it...?
Final Cut won't install because of the missing Quartz etc. support.

FCP 5.1
DSP 4.1
STP 1.1
Shake 4.1 (little bit slow)

everything works fine, but

Combustion 4.0.4 has problem, after splash screen interface gone black. No interface at all, except menu. The program seems work, in black all over the interface...
Is there anyone knows to solve the problem?

My system:

Jas 10.4.6
Dual boot with Win XP HE SP2

Vaio FS640/W
Pentium M 730
Ram 1 GB
GMA900

Yep, i have the same problem. I also had a black interface and couldn't type in my serial. After loading it under Rosetta it woked, but after the splash screen it went black again. Now wen i load it native, then it stops at "Loading Paint" and my 2 Xeons at 100%.

My specs:

OS X 10.4.5

Just had a great MP game of call of duty (On a 2.2ghz P4 Northwood, Radeon 9600 Pro, 1.25GB RAM) vs my mate on my PB G4 15" 1.67ghz. As sad as it is, the hackintosh ran cod faster than the PB....

I loading it under Rosetta it worked almost endless, little bit slow, like previous version 4.0.3. At least it worked....

Today @ a mates house, we went on his "super" x86 computer! and noticed! he had boot camp! HUH? Bootcamp!????! Now i am puzzled, he has the original bios, and etc and he has bootcamp? he wont tell me how it has been done! but i need to knoW!

People Idea's Please! and soo lets all try!

BaYlisS

That image thing you have at the bottom with your specs do they have that for os x ?

Anybody got Fruitmenu to work (with a hack)? It installs properly, the pref pane can be opened and configured, but the config does not go into effect.

Firstly, If I could get MacOS to work perfectly on my Dell I would kiss Windows GOODBYE!! (almost)

Safari
Sherlock
Stickies
Toast 7 Titanium

Haven't tested much else. I'll update when I do lol. If anyone has any solutions to the problem above (as well as the ATi X300 graphics problem I have below) please PM me. I've searched thru the forums and can't find anything that's worked.

CHEERS!!!!!!

Same here.

I've got a emachines (ghetto, hehe) T3828 Celeron 2.8 (SSE3) 512 MB RAM. Native 10.4.6 installed. Everything I've tried works pretty well, except the default DVD Player. Going to try WMP next

Downloading Limewire now, I'll let you know.

NdOfTaworld

Limewire works!!

Just a quick question... ne1 know how to change the default media player from itunes?

Thanks,

NdofTaworld

Hmm, still can't get DVD playback. Downloaded WMP, but StuffIt freezes up while unpacking either the .bin or the .hqx (EDIT: Used Safari instead of FF to download, installing now )

Any suggestions for a good fast DVD Player for Hackintosh? I've had success with almost every app I've ran, but the 3 or 4 media players I've tried don't seem to want to work.

I've tried VLC, MacAmp Lite(< - Can't enter serial number)... and a few others that i don't remember right now

SW: KoTor

works pretty good with my GeForce 7300GT. Bear in mind its a PowerPC application !

i had the same problem, but i have 1gb sdram!

This is not a RAM issue...

Search the forum for a solution to this problem, since a lot of people have these memory
errors with Itunes after upgrading.

Good luck !

iwork does not work for me... i cant create anything with keynote (it crashes when trying to make new presentation) and pages crashes when i create new document crashes. is it because i don;t have QE CI support? anyone know?

Any idea how to get this DVD Player working? (the one that comes with OS X
TIA

I read someone got an x86 version of aperture working. Which version?

You need CI/Quartz to get the Apple DVD player to work. as for Aperture, i have it running very nicely on "dev box", and my macbook, but thats expected lol. there is no such thing as an x86 version of Aperture, only Universal Aperture. it runs on PPC machines and intel machines with no need for Rossetta emulation.

jordn

EDIT: to ensure maximum compatiblity, make sure your running the 8.8.1 kernel if you can! for SSE2 machines, this is the best your gunna get for a long time...

see my signature~!

INIT

OK,

after i installed the exp6(sse2) kernel on my 10.4.6/7(JaS), updated to 10.4.8 with the original update from apple, replaced a few kexts,
installed ATIinject.kext (Titan/Natit didn't work for me), Combustion (version 4.0.4.5023) now works like it should, so far.
I just disabled the option "Use Software OpenGL" under Preferences->OpenGL, cuz otherwise the animations got framerates like 1/2 frame per second.

cheers

combustion 4.0.4.5024 with 4.0.4_font_fix works very very nice on 10.4.8 (8.8.1)
qt 7.1.3 & iTunes 7.0.2 works like a charm
thanks to semthex for great s5 kernel sse2

Out of over 200 applications tested on my XPS m1210, they all work, though there are a few file sharing bugs in the OS

Adobe Acrobat professional 6.0 will not work on 10.4.8 - Adobe Acrobat 8.0 will work though

Adobe Acrobat 7 is also running, but 8 is working fine too.
Age of Empires 3 is running cool on my notebook (1280x1024).
Tested old PPC games, so far Postal1 and Fallout2 are working (will add more after I find my old CDs/DvDs and have them tried...).

I have a Problem with Aperture, didn't run yet...have the 2,5GB dmg, then the 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 pre-cr***ed versions...I click on the app starts in the dock and ends...

Speed Download for Intel doesn't work...keep crashing all the time
Photoshop CS 3 Beta works
Roxio Toast 8, Adobe Professional 8 doesn't work either

I have Roxio Toast 8 working now. It used to bounce and die but one of VIAATA fixing or getting QE/CI to work fixed it for me. I think it's the QE, which seems odd, but it does depend on graphics. More oddly, Toast 6 had the same problem and now works fine too.

Backup, Transmission, Mail, Office 2004, XBench, RealBasic 2006, Dreamweaver 8 - All work well.

DVD Player works for me, but only now that I have QE working.

I get a msg that says "photoshop cs-3 cannot be installed with this version of the installer"

I've noticed quite afew people reporting that iWork is fully (or nearly) functional, but I have a few issues. I am brand new to mac (hackintosh) so some of the file systems and coding still elude me a bit. Does anyone know what requirements may be needed. iWork installed no problem, and appear to load np, but only open the file bar, no workspace, when I try to open a new window or change theme it shuts down the program.

I am running 10.4.6, and haven't uograded to sse3 yet (I am a dell dimension 8400, 3.0ghz HT P4) I have managed to get everything working minus soundcard and now iWork.

Any help would be appreciated.

Been on Mac OS X 10.4.8 from JaS SSE2.SSE3.AMD.Intel DVD 24/7 for close to a month, everything works well except for some nasty PPC apps taking too long processing stuff (encoding 8GB with SimplyRAR PPC... forever) as well as video encoders that are still not universal or beta UB. Used the latest versions of FCP, shake, combustion, aperture, livetype, soundtrack pro, compressor, reason, toast, iwork, parallels, vmware, crossover, and a plethora of 3rd party apps, all working as it should. Played quake4, ankh, halo, rollercoaster tycoon3, black and white, MoO3, max payne, oni, popcap, big bang games, and tons others. UB games works perfectly except for some bugs with AA/AF not turning on in some, some graphics issues occur when using some settings like AF in crazy machines. QT7 and iTunes7 work well, QT7 codec support is horrible anyway. MPlayer OSX works very nice with Corevideo (BETA) as renderer and postprocess on; current official VLC build does not work, but the latest nightly build does, with a lot of tweaking and digging through error messages.

Just need to get 5.1 audio working.

Maya 8.5 works, Onboard Lan Marvell 88E1116 not works, but detected after forcedeth-nock.kext loaded (*finally I can run Maya 8.5, Thankyou! ), Using Realtek 8139 to contect to the internet.

Can someone confirm if Tetris Zone from http://www.tetris.com works? I'm using 10.4.8 and Titan on GeForceFX5500 256MB AGP, and all I get is garbage.
Should I try install AGPGart on this card, or it will disable my OGL/QE/CI capabilities?

Thanks

I just installed Adobe CS3 and none of the apps load for me. It just close and said the program unexpectedly quit. Tried opening all of Adobe CS3 applications and same happened.

I get exactly the same errors. I am using the volume release of the CS3 applications, not sure if this would cause the problem. The only difference I believe is that the apps do not need activation.

I tried making the apps load using Rosetta but that didnt make any difference.

Any suggestions to fixing this would be appreciated.
