DylJones Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hey! I have iLife 06 installed onto PearPC with OS X tiger I have 512MB RAM and 20GB HDD configured When I open iWeb, I get a screen asking me to either sign into .Mac or Learn more about it. Well, I don't have a .Mac account and my emultaed Mac isn't on the web yet so I can do neither. So I click cancel. The iWeb menus appear but no main window and nothing happens. I click on File and almost all options (including 'New...') are grayed out Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?? Thanks!

MacSimizeDenver Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 WTF??? I used iWeb one or two weeks before and it worked. Now, I wanted to help you and get the same results like you....what? Confusing. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24589-iweb-open-but-not-open/#findComment-165523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqualeviathan Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 That just means you don't have QE/CI. Go to the iWeb application, right click on the app and select "Show Package Contents" Browse to "/Contents/Resources/" and open "Defaults.plist" in textedit Find the lines "<key>SFRAcceleratedCanvas</key> <true/>" and edit it to <key>SFRAcceleratedCanvas</key> <false/>" Save it and relaunch Hope that helps!

Colonel Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 iWeb in PearPC? Wow. You're brave. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24589-iweb-open-but-not-open/#findComment-166045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylJones Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yay! It works! The only thing is, i'm not sure what thing I did to make it work. I increased the RAM to 1GB I changed the processor emulation from G4 to G3 I had already changed the defaults.plist file so that may have helped but wasn't the deciding factor. I had also tried changing from 800x600x15 to 1024x768x32 which made no difference. I must say though, with more RAM and a different processor, it flies! thanks for the input all!

Pu7o Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 PearPC and "flies" in the same sentence? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24589-iweb-open-but-not-open/#findComment-166328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylJones Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Ok, let me re-phrase It flies in comparison to how it has run before Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/24589-iweb-open-but-not-open/#findComment-166430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metuas Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 help i have the same problem with iMovie 08 it opens but doesnt show anything and its not on pearpc and QE/CI are enabled. I don't have iLife '08, but apparently iMovie 7 sucks. Apple provides a free downgrade I believe to iMovie HD 6, which is very stable and has lots of effects that iMovie 7 is missing. Also, you need at least a 1.9GHz+ G5 or Intel processor to run it properly without hacking. Hope that helps.
