Well peeps, I downloaded iWork '08 Trial last night, activated with the serial and launched Pages first. It was strange, I was unable to click or create documents and etc. So I searched and found out how to make Pages work, just edit the file defaults.plist in the resources folder changing the "SomehingCanvas..." to false, then it works, but keynote and numbers don't have this string in the defaults.plist. Do you know a way o make Keynote (and Numbers, both don't have this string) work (The use will be very basic, not going to use all that beautiful effcts)

Thank you,

Paulo

P.S.: My video card is onboard, 64 mb VRAM and CPU is SSE2

I have quartz extreme working, but after using numbers for a little while my screen will freeze up forcing me to restart! Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks-
Franco

Same problem here. Numbers will open but cant click anything on the window. I have QE/CI supported.

royco, is your cpu sse2? and you francola?

sse3

That is strange, why does numbers (and keynote) don't work?

Anyone?

Found a solution for Keynote '08,
Write this in text edit:



Save with the extension .plist and put in the resources folder of the application.

Tried the Keynote hack and it doesn't work for my hackintosh . I have SSE2 and no QI/CI support. Any other options?

You must save it as Defaults.plist and put into Keynote.app/Contents/Resources. That is weird, I have SSE2 and no QE/CI and it worked.

Do you think you could place the same file in numbers?

Too bad its not working for my hackintosh. I would really like to see how it runs compared to powerpoint.

Tried it. Still Froze! Oh well.

Yep, Numbers seem to not recognize the file. But my keynote did, but still an annoying thing, I cannot play it in fullscreen, It says I have no sufficient VRAM. I think we should upgrade to 10.4.10, but until now there is no SSE2 method. Or there is? Any ideas on that?

I'm using 10.4.10. I also get the low VRAM message when I play the presentation.

Thank you for that Iv been trying to get keynotes to work with out QE/CI for a day or two
Anyone had any luck with numbers?

Also, cant export to quicktime from inside numbers but can do the rest, is this me or a bug / problem with keynotes?

That means you can use numbers? The Keynote issues I am experiencing are: 1.Can't see the presentation in full screen 2.Can't use the 3D charts (Everytime I try it quits, the same with Pages) 3.Can't export to QuickTime Movie or iPod. 4.The gradient theme is very strange, looks pixelated.How much VRAM do you have? How did you upgraded do 10.4.10 (Your PC is SSE2, isn't it?)

My machine can juice up a max of 64 MB shared VRAM. But I don't have any idea if hackintosh is using it to full capacity. I upgraded to 10.4.10 from 10.4.9 from a JaS 10.4.7. Everything works fine except my System Profiler crashes. Yes, my machine is SSE2. I got instructions somewhere in the forum where you input some codes in Terminal then download the latest updates using Software Updater then repair disk permissions. Viola! My hackintosh is updated to 10.4.10. I also updated the kernels from the same post.

I'm using Pages '08 using a trick I also found in the forum without any problems. However, I would really like to try Keynote but I guess I have to wait till a hack has been found or if it will even be found at all.

maybe this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use hackintoshes?

Azact problem I get

I don't think so, maybe only non QE/CI pcs are having this problem.

I have tried the method for Keynote
It works but Inspector doesn't show up anyway
And it can't play slides too

To make the inspector show up, remove the file from the resources folder. Then open Keynote, go to "Window" menu and minimize. Click on the window that show up in the dock. Open the inspector, don't close it. Quit Keynote, put the .plist in the resources folder again and launch Keynote. Voila! There is your inspector. Just don't click in the animations tab, it crashes the inspector window.PauloThis trick also work for iWeb '08. No iDVD or iMovie yet.

I did it for Pages and Keynote but NOT for Numbers... as I use the Retail DVD install I don't have QE/CI supported anymore
