UPDATE: NEW VERSION 2.0

I was trying to install iWork and iLife, but Mac won't install on 10.4.8, basically, the system is the same, we just needed to change a few strings to make the computer think it has 10.4.10 or so.

I created this utility that will allow you to easily change the version number to:

- 10.4.7
- 10.4.8
- 10.4.9
- 10.4.10
- 10.4.11
- 10.5
- 10.5.1
- 10.5.2
- etc...

Also, I made an utility to fix your Apple logo if you have another one from the distro you installed.

Have Fun!

Thanks for this, worked like a charm.

Brilliant, now I can install the software for my new aluminium keyboard

Thanks for this install, very much appreciated

Can you patch Safari 3 to work on my install (10.4.9)? I know there have been a few people who'd appreciate this

Cheers mate,
Alan.

I used this, and, sure enough, it worked, so well done for that, however it does cause programs that actually need the update for system glitch fixes (i.e. office 08) to come up with some wierd errors. I think I'll just use leopard now, but thanks anyway

Life saver. I can't for the life of me make the 10.4.11 AMD update using marvins patcher, though if somebody could either send me the AMD file or solid instructions it would be very good)
Now i can use iWork on JaS 10.4.8 YAY! though iLife doesn't mount. any idea's?

Think Mark

Hi JSN1,

thanks for giving me some credit on your utility
I posted this solution : http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=60268 on august 2007.
You made a nice installer out of it ...

grtz, AntarcticP

JSN1: Could you please repost the utility. The download site no longer has it. Thank you!

Would Office 2008 work correctly with this workaround?
Thanks.

Wywywywy, yep it works correctly.

Could somebody re-post the file please? The link no longer works

Yes please! This would solve a lot of my problems, too!

Sure, here you are.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone notice if you change 10.4.8 to 10.4.11, and run iTunes, you can't use the arrow keys and Return/Enter to select a song?

Awesome utility! Thanks so much!!!

So this will alow me to upgrade my hackintosh from 1.4 to 1.5 ! Thanks your awsome!

I downloaded and tried running it but it cant open im running 10.4.8 at the moment, what could be wrong

In theory, could we use this to fake our systems into thinking it has 10.5, and than use the dock.app from a leo disk to give us that sexy 3d dock?

Among other apps of course


Technically, those of us who cannot run leopard directly thanks to hardware limitations, could *in theory* use this application to load up all that makes leopard good into a tiger installation


I'm currently working on attempting this.

einhornchen, that sounds awsome, keep us updated if you can get the dock working, that would be sweet! I can not upgrade to 10.5 due to hardware limitations.

Quick question: I upgraded from JaS 10.4.8 to '10.4.11' flawlessly and alot of software can now be installed (iLife, MS Office etc).
Should I need to in the future 'update' to '10.5' using the this installer, would there be any issues?

Cheers and great work!

Hi Everyone! Hope this utility is helping everyone.

To AntarcticP, this utility was based on investigation, nothing was copied from your original post, this is just automated for the users to be faster and hassle free.

To everyone:I will start working on getting the Leopard dock working for tiger, I will start copying the files from myleopard macbook to the tiger hackintosh.

TO COME:> Extensive system selector.
including 10.4 > 10.5.2 (FOR OTHER PURSPOSES)>
FakeFun System selector. 10.3 > 10.3.9, 10.4.12 > 10.4.15, 10.5.3, 10.6 (JUST FOR FUN)

Starting to work in:> Leopard Dock for Tiger (Working: 20% done)

Please post your requests.

Status

Update:The dock is quite different. The main executable is 650 kb Tiger vs 2.2 MB Leopard Getting permissions troubles right now, should be solved shortly. Right now Tiger's Finderis trying to launch the Leopard's dock, no panics or troubles right now... Just fixing some permissionsand lets see what happens.

So far I'm making a decent bit of progress with leopardizing my tiger installation. I havent actually made the leopard applications work on tiger, but basically I'm giving the tiger installation the leopard look. Once I have completed the majority of it I will attempt to build a script or installer. Hopefully JSN will make some progress in getting the leo apps to work correctly in tiger.

The biggest step I can think of is getting the dock to work as much like the dock in leopard as possible. This means the 3d look, as well as the expanded view of any folders on it.

permissions: fixed, dock now loading up in Tiger, but not showing.

update: dock refuses to show, but it is loading itself... Seems to make Finder crash...

update2: Tiger dock works in Leopard... but Leopard dock does not work in Tiger...

update3: got Leopard Finder to load up in Tiger... half working. I can see the volume, battery, bluetooth and time icons and click on them, there is no Apple nor file menu to click right now. Will work with the console tomorrow.

Also: The new system version fix is almost ready, some new options coming... also an Apple logo fix.

thnx JSN1 for your work, nice util

thanks so much

thank u for the upload but how to get this dock and finder look like leo cause shapeshifter is not working it closes the system preferences when i try to open it...it didn't open with me at first too but then i re-unarchived rar file and it did

NEW WORKING DOWNLOAD LINK, ##DOWNLOAD HERE##

thankss Man.....u made my Day.........

Could someone please reseed it? Thx Link doesn't work for me.

Please people, once you get the Leopard stuff to work in Tiger, Please put it into a .pkg

called Leopardizer 1.0

Its not going to happen. There are too many dependencies within the leopard Finder and Dock for it to run under Tiger. I just installed Liger by spiderlama and shapeshifter and its pretty nice looking, albeit not completely like leopard.

The links don't seem to be working anymore...!!! I need to install itunes 7.7 on my Jas 10.4.8 PC... anyone have this file or can provide a link..?!?! Thanks in advance...

HEY GUYS!
So... this is a little question I have.
I have Leopard 10.5.2 installed on my System and there's a nice little program I want to run that requires 10.5.3.
So, I remembered this program and thought that it should do the trick.
Has there been a newer version released to do such a thing that would work on leopard? Or, could I just make my own little version package of my own in there?
I guess what I'm asking is, does this work on Leopard at all?

What about upgrading your system ?

Does anybody try to use MS word 2008 on 10-4-8 with this utility?
Is it possible?

someone can send me this utility please!

Seems like the author has taken the link off. I needed this so badly.
