Re: iLife 08 on 933mhz PM QS
Thanks everyone. After trying several different things I have decided to throw in the towel. My old iMovie 1.0 from the original Quicksilver install disks works fine for what I use it for and actually runs under Leopard. It was the other applications especially iPhoto that I needed which is why I bought iLife 08 anyway. I just wanted to try this to see if it would work for kicks more then a need to get it working and it is going nowhere so I will stick with what I have. :-) Thanks anyway.

I meant to point out, I believe this is for "iLife 09" which has "iMovie 8" as part of the "09" package. I also seem to remember iMovie 8 also has an upgrade, and you need to have the later mods done again, as the file being changed to allow the installation, was altered.

Re: iLife 08 on 933mhz PM QS
Well it is amazing what saving the install file to the HDD and a hex editor will do. It is installing as we speak without complaint. I will let you know if iMovie actually loads after it is installed. :-) On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 4:58 PM, John Carmonne wrote: > > On Jun 21, 2010, at 2:48 PM, Bill Connelly wrote: >> >> Yes there is a way.
