3 questions

#1 Post by cashmoney805 » Sat Aug 25, 2007 11:20 pm

Hey guys, 3 questions.
1) I just installed JaS 10.4.8 on my T60 and I have this other folder on my windows partition with the combo update. In that folder there are 2 other folder.. MAXOSX and update. Exactly what do I do with that?

2) What about programs like iPhoto and Garage Band? Any way to get them?

3) I plug my Webcam into the usb port and nothing gets piked up. Any clue?

Any help is greatly appreciated :D

Question #1: I'm not sure what you mean by this. Did you download an OS X updater in Windows and want to use it in the Mac OS?

#2: You need to get iLife if you want GarageBand, iDVD, iMovie, iPhoto & iWeb. The latest version is iLife '08: apple.com/ilife

#3: Your USB webcam prolly won't work without some kind of 3rd party software. I think there are a few companies making this such as IOXperts.com

Good luck,

As for me, I'm very happy I bought iLife. It doesn't do everything in the world for me, but it does a great deal. Please... spend the $79... bring a little honor to the community.

Give MaCam a try. It's free and it mostly works.

as for me, I'm running all kinds of things I've paid for... photoshop, ilife, iwork, superduper, pathfinder, visualhub.

Please pay.

The point of having a hackintosh for me is so that I can keep my beloved thinpad hardware. (If apple ever came out with a macbook with a trackpoint, I might reconsider, but I LOVE MY TRACKPOINT!)

So, please pay.
