iLife

Hey im new here and only 2 weeks into the osx86 game.

i was able to install idenebs 10.5.5 osx and use their updater to bump myself upto 10.5.8.

anywho i recently acquired ilife 9 through trusted channels and had issues trying to install it.

as i was mainly only after garage band i searched the net seeking a solution and none could be found.

i kept getting the error that ilife.mpkg could not be opened. so I copied file to desktop and same issue. upon trying to individually install the .pkg's it kept saying i needed version 10.5.5 etc and that i needed to use iLife installation to custom install individual programs. listed method of changing system info did not work.

solution i found for some of the programs (lets use garage band as an example, some files dont work, still working on this):

right click file ==> show package contents

contents ==> installers ==> (right click garage band.mpkg) show package contents ==> contents ==> installers ==> (right click garage band.pkg) show package contents ==> contents ==> resources ==> then delete installation check file. go back to garage band.pkg and double click. voila, it should load and install. i've tested and operational thus far!

hope this helps in some small way as im only a nub at this.

anywho off to try and get iportable to let me click on the registration (initial boot) options... /shakes fist at not being able to click.
