Caps18 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I think you need to have 10.4.6. I can't seem to figure out how to apply the 1.1 & 1.0.1 updates to the 1.0 version of Aperture I have to be able to get it installed though. It's almost like I need to find a powerPC mac and install it and update it, then transfer it to my OSX86 computer. There are a lot of system requirements and it does check them. I'm not sure if I have core image support or QE, but I bet it checks. My system looks fine if I don't have those, but I'm not sure.

Caps18 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 This is from the Apple Support Site: Using an Aperture 1.0 Installation Disc on an Intel-based Mac 1. Update the system to Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later. 2. Install Aperture 1.0 from the disc. 3. Run Software Update to install the Aperture 1.0.1 Update. 4. Run Software Update again to install the Aperture 1.1 Update. How are you supposed to do step 2, if it checks to make sure you have a PowerPC? And it won't allow you to install the updates because it can't find the application.

Caps18 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 After reading the mac forums a little, it seems like there might be something else missing. I have enough RAM (1.25GB), but I'm not sure if it checks for core image and QE (I don't know if I have those or not), or SSE3 which I don't have. It could also be checking what graphics card we have.

thecheeks Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 yeah forget it ill just wait til i get a MB in a week or two. it seems you can buy the intel version 1.1 from their site, maybe thats the only way. the updates are prob just for the powerpc version.

Caps18 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Apple says that the minimum requirements for the video card is: One of the following graphics cards: ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition; ATI Radeon X850 XT; ATI Radeon X1600; ATI Radeon 9800 XT or 9800 Pro; ATI Radeon 9700 Pro; ATI Radeon 9600 XT, 9600 Pro, or 9650; ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 or 9600; ATI Mobility Radeon X1600; NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE or 6600; NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL or 6800 GT DDL; NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT; NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 Since I have an Intel 855, I don't think it will work. But I am surprised a little that they check. Is there any possible way around the check? Maybe by using terminal to install it with some command with a No Error flag or something.

Caps18 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 http://david.djsiska.cz/index.php?p=37 This site has some tips that I might have to try sometime next week. I have some hope once again.

Maybe by using terminal to install it with some command with a No Error flag or something. i think deleting the installationcheck and volumecheck files from the packages will solve the compatibility check problem although im not sure (it worked when i was installing fcp 5) im not sure if doing the same thing for the actual program will do the trick but i think most apps just check if you have qe/ci, not if you have a card from the list apple supplied.

Jeezoflip Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It will work if you have CI and QE enabled. Otherwise you can get a crack, but dont expect anything good out of it.

Caps18 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 This is going to sound like a silly question, and I will probably be able to find the anwser if I search for it. But how do I find out if I have CI or QE installed and working? Too bad I have to work this week and don't have time to play with it, because I want to try it out right now. In reality, I probably won't use the program. I don't take that many pictures. But it is more of the challenge of trying to get it installed thast I like.

thecheeks Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 so will this work and install good on a macbook? or do you think it will need a crack or bypass the check since it doesnt have the above listed gfx cards?

Jeezoflip Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 as long as you have CI and QE enabled, you should be good. Also if you have 1 gb of ram, you should be good, if you dont, you can change how much you need in one of the plists from 1000 to what ever you want it to be.
