I just got a great deal on a copy of iLife 08 and I am running a 933mhz Quicksilver Power Mac w/1.25 GBs of RAM installed. Now I new this going in but all the programs for iLife 08 install on my Quicksilver just fine except for iMovie 08 which states it needs a minimum of a G5 1.9 ghz processor or a dual processor G5 2.0ghz. Now here is my question. Does anyone know of a way to get iMovie 08 to install on a Quicksilver? Is there a way to trick the installer you have a faster processor on your Mac? I am guessing the processor limitation is more artificial in the sense that Apple upped the requirements to install the application to avoid getting complaints from people with older hardware complaining the program is too slow. Am I completely off base here? Do the G5s and the Intels have something special about the processors that is actually required for the program to work?
Yes there is a way. Here it is fof iMovie 09: MacOSXHints ... Run iMovie '09 on a PowerPC G4 http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090130074400511 See if that link works. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
