Updating any Hackintosh from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 ..

posted by The Tech Buzz on Jan.25, 2009, under Tutorials

Over the last few weeks I’ve been trying to update my wife’s laptop from 10.5.5 to 10.5.6 but couldn’t because of the patch is too intense. So why update then? iWork 09 and iLife 09 need to run under a 10.5.6 build. So I found a work around that will make it fake out the installer and show that you are running OS X 10.5.6. I did it and it worked on my wife’s laptop and she was able to install iWork 09. Here is how you do it!

Go to System/Library/CoreServices, then you will see SystemVersion.plist, copy it and paste it on your desktop.
I suggest you also make a backup just to be sure….can’t hurt.
Then open the plist from your desktop and where the string is that has your system version— 10.5.5 for example, change it to 10.5.6.
The version should appear twice in the plist, so change both.
Then save the plist and paste/replace it over the old systemversion.plist, put in your password, and check your “about this mac” to verify.
Then install and you’ll be fine!
Worked 100% for me!
