other easy way:

 

go into

 

System>Libary>Core Services>SystemVersion.plist

 

copy the file to your desktop! change both 10.5.1 in 10.5.6

 

save it and replace the old SystemVersion.plist with your new one

 

install iLife and iWork

 

change it back into 10.5.1 otherwise Aople tries to give you the Updates for 10.5.6

would i be able to keep 10.5.6 if i use this, because i cant install 10.5.6

 

You don't have a real 10.5.6 apple just detects it as one! You can keep it if you want but I would be careful with the automatic apple updates because you can get the updates for 10.5.6 but they won't work on your machine !!

 

It just displays that you have a 10.5.6 but you are actually still on 10.5.1! But you can install all the programs then which are normally only on 10.5.6 allowed / supported !

After a bit of brainstorming i figured out how to get i life and or iwork 09 to install on leo4all 10.5.2 Amd

 

Show package contents on ilife or iwork package and edit the .dist file in bbedit

do a quick search for 10.5.6 and replace it with 10.5.1

the Distribution.dist.zip for ilife (Copy into the .mpkg)

 

It installs ok but when I try to run iPhoto it tell me that I need 10.5.6. iWeb, iDvd and garageband runs ok, but I need iPhoto.

Do you know what file change in iPhoto to avoid the version check?

 

 

Thanks
