SittingNow Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi all, I've been successfully running 10.6.4 on a Dell Studio 540 now for well over a year. It runs like a dream, but I cannot update it past 10.6.4. I recently got an iPhone 5, and low and behold, it won't run on the version of iTunes that I am stuck at (10.6.3). Is there any way to trick the programe (or the OS) into installing 11 on this setup? Thanks in advance.

Shaneee Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 How can't you update past 10.6.4? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284979-is-there-anyway-to-install-itunes-11-on-a-osx86-box-running-1064/#findComment-1874274 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SittingNow Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 The mobo is being difficult. When I run the update, it just gives me loading screen error, and then restarts. It's common to this box.

What do you mean by Loading error screen?

SittingNow Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 It basically throws up that loading bar, then it freezes into the grey reset screen, This is a common issue with the Studio 540, I don't know of any cases of it going past 10.6.4. I am running 10.6.8, obviously, the iTunes 11 installed itself somehow... Works GREAT! APART FROM MY ILOK! I've never known anyone to actually use ILOk, is it any good?

iceblade112 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I believe there was a trick that supposedly changed your Hackintosh's version. That's how I got Xcode to work. If I remember correctly, it was located at /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist . Use a plist editor and change it to something like 10.6.8. I'm still running on 10.6.2, seems to work fine.
