Run iMovie '09 on a PowerPC G4
First, let me say thank you for the help and time people have invested in this!
Step one read through all the posts before you do anything! Step two read through the posts again! These are the steps that worked on my iBook G4 1.42 GHz with 1.5 GB Ram and OSX 10.5.8 1) I followed SSM's post about downloading Pacifist to allow you to install the packages first from a DMG of iLife 09 which I already had on my system. 2) Do not run iMovie 3) Download Hexedit and install the program. 4) Follow RunAway's original instructions "Use the File » Go To Address function in HexEdit to go to the following addresses, and replace each existing entry at those addresses (7C 08 02 A6) with 4E 80 00 20. The addresses are 15fb9c, 15fc7c, and 15fe00". 5) Now, this is where I spent a night figuring out what the issue was. I saved the file I had edited and ended up with a 'iMovie~' beneath the original 'iMovie' file in the MacOS folder mentioned in the original posting. I deleted the original file, and dropped the '~' symbol from the name of the new file... when I closed Hexedit and tried clicking on iMovie in my Applications folder I kept receiving the error that I needed a G5 or faster processor. To fix this I thought I had made a mistake somewhere so I erased iMovie fully from my system and re-installed and tried it all over again (did this twice) and still had the same issue! 6) Solution that worked for me. When I save the edited file, I clicked "save as" and dropped the newly edited file onto my desktop. This file did not have the '~' symbol so I then deleted the original 'iMovie' file from its folder (as stated in RunAway's original post - iMovie icon » Right click » show package contents » Contents » MacOS). I then dragged and dropped the new 'iMovie' file from the desktop to that folder and closed the folder. I then crossed my fingers and clicked the iMovie App icon from my applications folder... and within 15 seconds I had iMovie up and running! I figured out that before I chose 'save as' the file was making a new copy of itself without saving the changes in Hexedit. Do not use 'save' once you have edited the file, use the 'save as' and save to a new location to then be dragged over. Thank you, and I hope this helps someone else :) |
