rfilez .. i am not sure about that last time i did apple update on my amd and it dint boot the next time..
came back here to see that the Marvin's tool needs to be used on binaries to change the cpuid ..
yeh naquaada.. what i downloaded was ard 3.93GB.. gono try and update as he said .. but not before using the marvin's tool .. i cant go through the installation process again.. been a month to get it all SET but should say was great fun doing
Did exactly as u said .. did a backup using time machine , skipped the quicktime and security updates.. and yeh it is working now !
though i dont really work with all the stuff in ilife, it somehow is great fun to jus get it working
thanks a ton rfuilez !

Run the apple updater, and update iMovie. iLife '08 I presume? I had the same problem until I updated it. Now it works perfectly.
ahm... how big is iLife 08? I found an image with less than 4, iLife '06 was 6,12 GB.
Just don't install all the updates. The Security Update and Quicktime update are no-no's. Most of the rest is ok I believe. (Don't take my word on that though)
Anyhow, updating iMovie through the updater worked for me. Didn't need to patch the cpuids or anything. Try it, or backup to a time machine drive and try it. That way if it screws up, it's an easy recovery.
3.93gb for mine as well.
Haha me too. I made a DVD or 2 with iDVD but thats about it.
Really all I wanted was iPhoto to organize my pictures (have about 5000).
@ rfuilrez:
If you have a lot of photos, try PhotoPresenter: arizona software.ch/photopresenter/
It has amazing slideshow effects using CoreAnimation, so it's Leopard only.
