I have found a solution that works on my hackintosh (AMD with JAS 10.4.8)
Simply replace the AppleSMBIOS.kext with this one Click to view attachment
The CS3 applications will no longer crash when registering

What's this? What version of JaS are you using? PPF1 or PPF2 ?

NICE FIND!

Confirmed working on 10.4.7, 10.4.8, and 10.4.9 (Intel and AMD)

For those of you who don't get it, just replace the AppleSMBIOS.kext after extracting into /System/Library/Extensions replacing the old one (you need your admin password)

Then open the Terminal, cd into /System/Library, remove the files with rm Extensions.*, and then repair your disk permissions.

Restart and Presto! Programs may seem slow the first time loading but then work consecutively

I use 10.4.5 updated to 10.4.7 (through JAS update).

I avoid 10.4.8 and later because there's too much HW not functioning (like my Radeon X1600's openGL crashing after a few seconds when a game is started.) I'm also fed up with completely re-installing the whole shabang if things go wrong. It's clear that 10.4.8 and later are more suited to Core-cpu's while 10.4.5 gives largest quantity of HW recognised (like USB devices etc.) and is better suited to P4 technology. I have a P4 630 system with i915P-chipset equipped mainboard.

I also installed from 10.4.5 because if I install from 10.4.6 JAS DVD some components don't get recognised (e.g. my Logitech Pro 4000 webcam and MSI bluetooth USB adaptor). After 10.4.5 each revision DVD had less HW functioning so avoid these if you can. IMHO 10.4.3 and 10.4.5 are the best versions for non Core-systems)

Ofcourse if you do the update from a 10.4.5 to 10.4.7 remind yourself to temporarily copy the Sync-utility out from Applications (and copy it back after the update) because the one in the 10.4.7 JAS upgrade only works from updating 10.4.6 to 10.4.7!


Anyway, you can add the following apps to the list (though some are supposedly for 10.4.8 and higher; they do work on lower versions)

Shiira 1.2.2 and 2.0 (webbrowser)
TrimTheFat 0.7 (a free program like XSlimmer)
VirtueDesktops 0.54 beta 2
Disco Public Beta, v1.0.1 & 1.0.2 (CD burning app)

ClamXAV 1.0.4 (antivirus)
Onyx 1.6.9 (cleanup-util)
Clean App (1.5.1 & 2.0.3) (cleanup util)
Aqua4Itunes (iTunes GUI changer) (tried both 7.1 and 7.2 with their respective iTunes)
Itunes 7.2
QuickTime 7.1.6 (change version.plist to get it to work)
PhotoShop CS3 Beta 2 (change version.plist to get it to work) (Bridge doesn't work on 10.4.5/6/7 though)
MacTheripper 2.6.6 (DVD ripping)
HandBrake 0.7.1 (DVD Ripping)
Open Office 2.1 rc2 (Intel build 20061130)
XBench 1.3 (benchmarking)

Macam 9.1 (the standalone program works perfectly with my logitech pro 4000)
Macam Component (works with quicktime pro but with Skype only audio works)
CyberDuck 2.7.3 (FTP)
Coloquy (IRC)

I also tested a few Games :-)

WingNuts 2 (nice 2D shooter, very cute)
Sketchfighter 4000 (amazing looking 2D shooter looks like it's drawn on paper with a marker and a pencil)
Darwinia Demo (interesting 3D game, I used this to test several OSX86 releases and Radeon X1600 drivers)
SauerBraten (3D FPS, looks okay. Used this to test video driver-releases too. Details can be find on this site)
Outnumbered (3D shoot'm up. A very simple textured 3D game. Looks nice though)
Pac The Man X (guess what this is ;-) )
Cocoa mad race (a simple 2D above view space race game. Very addictive)
Ultranium (breakout game)

I hope this is helpfull

Cheers

Hey,

I had a question about Logic Pro 7.2. I've made several searches in this forum for Logic Pro 7.2. Actually I am not running after a crack version and I am about to buy original box Logic Pro 7.2 UB. I wonder if this app works in Hackintosh with its usb dongle. I read some posts dated 2005 - 2006 as USB dongle doesnt work!? Can someone update me if it works without any problem on Mac OS X based on HAckintosh configurations later 10 4 8.

Your advices are really needed as I don't want to waste loads of cash for an original non working Logic Pro 7.2 by my setup.

Thanks all in advance.

Give a try to iCab (the internet taxi for your mac), instead of IE. Last version is 4, but previous 3.x.x UB is also OK.

Installed from outside, that are working:

toast,
firefox,

mozilla thunderbird
Adium

New transmission

it's a pain in the ass to minimize windows and then trying to find the same one again.
is there anyway / software that we can create some kind of toolbar on side or bottom, which
works more like windows? so a person can minimize / maximize exactly the window that he requires?

these little tiny annoyances make mac only have 3% share..

Sweet...Final cut studio 2 works. Does it work flawlessly? Especially for importing video from the camer? if so i'm ordering my computer off newegg tomorrow.

When you minimise an application window on a Mac by clicking the orange button on the top left of the window, it shrinks down to an icon representing the app beside the trash can to the right of the dock.

Also open apps have a marker under them on the dock (leopard) or a black triangle (Tiger). Also you can use the Apple key with the TAB key to cycle through open apps. Pressing F9 shrinks all open windows to fit on the screen so you can view them all and select the one you want.

If you want something that works like Windows then use Windows, Mac isn't for everyone especially those who've used nothing else but Windows or couldn't be bothered learning something new . . . . that's the real reason Mac has 4% share.

Every Intel-based application works fine

Like:
iWeb, PhotoShop CS3 extended, Office 2008, Linkinus, Skype, Team Speak 2, Transmission, Microsoft MSN Messenger, WarCraft III. The Frozen Throne, World of WarCraft, Diablo II. LoD, and much..much.. more

Does anyone tryied toast 9 titanium?
I tryied but it doesn't work.
Any tips???

I had toast 9 working on Kalyway 10.5.2 on an Intel 945GTP board.
I recently got a new EX38-DS4 running Leo4Allv2, toast 9 did not work.

Did you have to do anything to get CS3 to work ? All the apps crash on opening for me.
I applied the patch that's available but it didn't have any effect. It and Parallels are the only apps I've had problems with.
I think the Parallels kernel panics are due to the machine having 4GB ram - it's stable with 2GB installed.

My hackintosh specs are in my signature:

I tried:

Adobe CS3 (Illustrator, indesign, photoshop, Dreamweaver, fireworks): everything works fine
After effects CS3: works fine
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3: works fine
Mactheripper 3.0r14m: works fine
Roxio PopCorn 3: works fine
Roxio Toast Titanium 8: works fine
VisualHub: works fine
Office 2008: works fine

Games:

Call of Duty 2: works fine
Mafia: works fine
Doom 3: works fine
Ages of empires: works fine
Need for Speed underground: works fine

Conclusion: my hackintosh runs pretty much better than my Imac G5, of course with UB applications.

pabs :devil:

OS X 10.5.1 on system in signature:

Firefox - Good, no problems so far
Transmission - Good, no problems so far
Peer Guardian for OS X - no problems, seems to work fine
Adium - works
Xblaze for Adium - works
GarageBand - crashed rightaway on first startup, but has been fine ever since

Still looking into other apps for OS X. I have not used OS X since an early Tiger build.

All the programs built into OS X seem to work fine as well such as iTunes, Safari, etc.

anything universal works for me here .. limewire as well... azerus...


the one thing i'm trying to get to work on here is AW's maya 2008 ... i think it might be a qe/ci thing tho

edit>
10.4.10
amd turion64

80 gig
and a radeon ... it thinks it's an 1100 but reports a 200m

My serialseeker stopped working for me today. I tried to start it as usual and it got stuck on opening database. What should I do? I tried reinstalling it, no chance. Any solutions?

iWork'08 doesn't work !!
Comes up thru first two screens and than its just blank

Using Kalyway 10.5.2

iWork'08 works (installed the latest trial version)

Other stuff that works
-----------------------------
Adobe Design Suite CS3 (Had to install the apps individually, Photoshop first then Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat etc..)
CrossOver (as well as can be expected)
EyeTV
Firefox
Little Snitch
Luxology Modo 302 (As fast as the Windows version)
Opera
Painter X (working well with my Wacom tablet)
StuffIt
TabletMagic
Toast 9 Titanium
VLCPlayer
Vmware Fusion

Problems
------------
Realplayer 11 beta (worked first time I used it but has completely stopped playing files now)

Photoshop CS3 runs fine - but cursor moves too irradically to be able to draw smooth/straight lines, do pixel-precise work etc. Once the cursor is outside of the document window though, it moves perfectly fine again.

Update (May 15th 08):
I tested Photoshop CS3 on a real Mac yesterday, and apparently this is just how it behaves... Too bad.

Im not used to post here, but since you are screaming that leopard is more anoying than windows, i gotta post it:

Enter -> System Preferences/Exposé&Spaces/

on exposé configurations windows, set a corner of your screen to "All Windows".

Try it out opening several windows one on top of another and moving your mouse towards that corner.

YOU WILL BE AMAZED!

Then, if you recover the shock, try the other options, and you can also spend some time trying Spaces out.

Hope I helped!

Roxio Toast 9 installed but when i click the icon it quits :S:S:S

plz somebody help me

Installed iPhoto ...works fine but I can't see the pic I'm editing ...plz help me with that ...i can only browse photos and import them but can't edit

i think the reason why toast quits is you don't have a compatible video card with qe/ce enabled.

i cant run PhotoBooth, it says that it is incompatable with my graphic card

Try installing NVKush if you got an Nvidia graphics card...

Um, people having problems with iMovie and other iLife apps crashing should download the updates for them. For me iMovie 08 went from crashing every two seconds to 100% stable with the latest updates for it.

After cleaning up my Extensions folder and removing unnecessary leftovers from previous attempts. I used Diabolik's 10.4.9 NVidia Natit installer, at first just a black screen, but after removing it, and trying it again, but choosing Natit .01, something really crazy happened. It Worked!

I installed Cisco VPN Client 4.9 and I am getting an error when trying to run it:

extension /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext does not contain code for this architecture

Does anybody have a workaround this problem? It would be greatly appreciated. It would save me from having to install Windows.

Thanks,

[EDIT]
I got it working!!! I installed the latest version (4.9.01.0100) from MacUpdate.

Make sure to uninstall previous version before installing this one. To uninstall sudo ./opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpn_uninstall

Good Luck,
