OK heres the thing.... Downloaded, opened and installed the game (using UnRAR X) Then patched the game using the official patch off the aspyr website. Downloaded the no CD crack from above and tried to crack the game however this failed 
.
Does anyone know how to use the crack on Leopard for Mac.
Please help as i REALLY want to play this game!!!!!!

please, somebody help me with the "No Cd Crack"!!
16.Posted by meshman on Mar 10 2008 at 03:09
Come on DsurioN. If you know how to apply the crack please let us know.
17.Posted by acidrain02 on Mar 10 2008 at 13:25
Game Downloaded, Installed, Patched and Played Succedfully.
Once you download, extract the .dmg file, then install the game. Donwload and install the 1.1 patch from the Aspyr web site. After that, patch the game with the utility offered in the Post 7 by DsurioN. Play the Game!
You don't need to do anything out of normal, just install everything and play.
P.D.: I'm using Leopard OS
18.Posted by acidrain02 on Mar 10 2008 at 13:29
I don't know for sure jamzbond, but it's a .dmg file, and as far as I know it just works for Macs.
19.Posted by backedpotatoes on Mar 10 2008 at 14:12
Acidrain02, the 1.1 patch it's not working... I don't know why.
I'm using Leopard too
do you used the UnRAR X to unzip the file?
I used that and it works.
please sombody helpe to play this game !

Are you sure that you have dloaded 'Guitar Hero III Mac Patch v1.1' and not 'Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Patch v.1.1' ? The latter is for PC but if you use, for example, wine, you might not notice the *.exe file (but errors will appear).
Anyway with this patch:
http://support.aspyr.com/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=500
Everything should be all right.
21.Posted by backedpotatoes on Mar 10 2008 at 22:51
akashic, I just have instale the patch that you recomended
but, it didn't work
I don't know if iám doing something wrong
i still have a problem with the "No CD crack"
tanx anyway
22.Posted by acidrain02 on Mar 11 2008 at 01:47
akashic is right. It happened to me too, downloadind the wrong patch. The windows patch is 14 MB of size and the mac version is 292 MB. Be careful with that.
Surely everybody know this but, you need to install the game first in order to be able to path it to the v1.1. So run the game installer, it must create an folder in the "Applications" directory. THEN, run the patch -the .dmg file, not .exe, and it will prompt for the directory where the game is installed. You know, point it to Applications/Guitar Hero III and you will be able to continue the patching process.
After that, do the same with the crack that will ask for the same directory and its done.
Its pretty easy to try.
Luke, just follow your instinct...

Ok, were almost there!!! Now can somebody help with the no disk message?
24.Posted by acidrain02 on Mar 11 2008 at 02:34
hey, those who played the game. It runs ok? Are you having problems with the audio? God!
25.Posted by akashic on Mar 11 2008 at 14:58
Too quick on writing posts - game doesn't work for me. After update, crack asks for changing permission of the game and then error:
/Applications/Guitar Hero III/Guitar Hero III.app/Contents/MacOS
/Applications/Guitar Hero III/Guitar Hero III.app/Contents/MacOS/Guitar Hero III
Nothing helps. Any other cracks?
26.Posted by cinemec on Mar 12 2008 at 16:07
Unfortunately I have the same problem as #25, I've tried manually changing the permissions on the files so anyone can write to them them but no dice.
27.Posted by fmx on Mar 14 2008 at 10:58

now I really need an help!!!!!

jeah same situation for me to Everything was going so well and i was almost celebrating but nothing
30.Posted by tenbels on Mar 14 2008 at 15:14
Good news for you folks, found were the problem was
it comes from the permissions
you have to go into the package from guitar hero 3 app (right click on the one with the slash hat and then click on show content)
after that you have to set the permissions from both mac os folder and guitar hero executable to all
then run the crack and it should work
the first mistake i had done was to set the permission to all applied to the guitar hero package (so the one with slash hat)
anyway, get ready to rock now !
31.Posted by backedpotatoes on Mar 14 2008 at 16:58
how can I set the permission?
32.Posted by cinemec on Mar 18 2008 at 23:23
Went back to take a look at this today and got it working, I'd changed the permissions on the files so 'everyone' could read and write them, but I'd neglected to change it so that admin could. Admin was set to read only. Hope this helps anyone else struggling.
#31: follow #30's instructions to get into the package, find the mac os folder within it, right click and click 'get info' you'll then be able to change the permissions at the bottom of the window that appears... note you may have to click the lock in the bottom corner and put in your administrator password before you can change them. Then do the same for the guitar hero executable inside that mac os folder. Then apply the patch. Then rock out.
33.Posted by djinn_djinn on Mar 19 2008 at 06:57
ok..here is my fix for the admin problem. I have had these problems with sims 2, civ IV, and doom 3...
If you are running into problems with admin privileges download Pseudo 1.2.3 at
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/9608
or any where you can find it.
Drag-Drop the crack onto Pseudo. Pseudo will ask for you password
Press OK and the modified ipatch will self-open.
install
I have used this on many games with great success.
Thanks Blade and villiagejoker and everyone I forgot for this workaround!
34.Posted by spnkr on Mar 19 2008 at 21:24
The link to the crack doesn't work for me. I'd be greatful if someone would upload the crack on some other upload site.

Hey i can't open the dmg file bcause the diskimagemounter doesn't recognize it! HELP ANYONE?
39.Posted by Tordek42 on Apr 12 2008 at 20:03
Everything works fine, just had to follow the various post's and works a treat!!!
40.Posted by Bardockimus on Apr 15 2008 at 10:37
Having a problem with the nocdcrack. I've done everything it says, changed permissions. I noticed though when I changed the permissions for the GH, in the Mac folder, that the permissions revert back to read only for admin and everyone after I install the patch.
41.Posted by Bardockimus on Apr 15 2008 at 10:52
Nevermind, fixed the problem with a much easier one. Read post #7, and delete the spaces. After that, download, run program, all you need to do is drag and drop the application.
42.Posted by Bardockimus on Apr 15 2008 at 10:54
Is there a patch to use the the 360 guitar for the mac version? I can't seem to find one.

Guys guys help me out here, am I supposed to open the .dmg patch file? Cuz if I am then it's not opening. Kept saying disk images failed to mount!!!
45.Posted by zeyeepeeman on Apr 28 2008 at 15:11
too bad for me, nothing seems to work..I've done everything, applied the patch, changed the permissions and than applied the crack (which worked) but the app doesn't want to launch (both the guitar hero.app and the guitar hero (k).app).
Someone had the same problem?
Thanks everyone for your help!

Ok so I did thing fine and all is well but when I load a song, right before it starts, my macbook freezes... I dont know what to do. I downloaded the file on my windows and tranfered it over to my macbook and then installed game and patch and crack and now it goes until right before the neck pops up...what should I do?
48.Posted by clopert on Apr 29 2008 at 11:16
Just a ****ish question, do you play with the keyboard or do you have to get one of the guitars?
49.Posted by CaptainU on Apr 30 2008 at 20:35
Hey iafiercelion @47!
have you managed to go through those freezes?
I got exactly the same ****s as you!
I have a Macbook 2,4Ghz, and everything's fine, but when the chart should start, everything freeze, and i have to turn off my computer...
Anybody could help us out?
Is it because it's a laptop?
Really hope somebody will be able to help me!
51.Posted by monstermac77 on May 01 2008 at 03:45
Alright I have the EXACT same problem as everyone else with Macbooks. I have a 2.4GHz 2GB or RAM, 250 GB hardrive macbook brand new, and it freezes immediately when you start the song. Right before you get to see the guitar frets it freezes the keyboard and mouse and the screen and stops the music after a few seconds I think. I've been researching it for a while and it's NOT the game that has the error (like a missing file) I know that much it's either the intergraded graphics card or leopard that's messing it up.
52.Posted by monstermac77 on May 01 2008 at 03:46
I've tried changing the resolution to see if it just used a different bit of code but it didn't work. Just google "guitar hero 3 macbook freeze" or "macbook freeze" and you'll find something about it. I'm really ****ed off that it's not working but I know it can so if anyone could help me, CaptainU, iamfiercelion and anyone else with the problem that would really help. And by the way anyone who's wondering you DO NOT need a guitar for it to work. It works perfectly fine with the keyboard. And I even asked an apple online guy and he said you can't use the keyboard javascript:void(0); Please someone who knows this stuff help!!!!!
Thanks a lot in advance!
53.Posted by CaptainU on May 01 2008 at 13:47
Hi there,
I googled as you said, and there is indeed a problem with our grahpic card...
I don't know if there is a solution...

I'm back.....not with good news....I installed the patch and everything but it freezes even earlier. I didn't try a fresh install of Guitar hero so you can try that and reply but I restarted after I installed the patch and nothing. Now the song doesn't even load. You can try it, maybe Im doing something wrong, so don't give up and keep at least the .Rar file on your hardrive just in case. again here's the link for the mod: good luck and keep searching I know I will be
