Apple works 6.0.04 wont install on macbook pro 2.4 running 10.4.11

Please help me!!
As a teacher we use imacs in the school with applworks 6, my husband bought me a 2.4 macbook pro but when i try and install it, it says not supported by the system, the version is 6.0.4, after looking at the forums it appears i need 6.2.9 would this be the case.
The other thing that bothers me is, on finding out that appleworks 6.0.4 did not work, my husband then bought me iwork 08, but this does not recognise my old appleworks files.
Please help!!
p.s. an educated guess would be,if it turns out that i need appleworks 6.2.9, will this mean any files made by this version will open in iwork 08, but any older appleworks files will not, which presumably mines are.
How do i get a newer version, what as i need something on the mac first so a 6.2.9 update will not work

What can i use to open files made by the 6.0.4 classic version?
AppleWorks 6. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheets only.
You have a couple of options, buy a newer copy of AppleWorks (at least 6.2 that has an OS X installer) or find a Mac that can use Classic/OS 8 or 9. If you use another Mac, install AppleWorks 6, update it to at least 6.2.4, burn the whole AppleWorks 6 folder to a CD (this gives you a backup so you don't have to go through this again), remove AppleWorks from the temporary Mac (to keep within the Apple software license) & copy the AppleWorks 6 folder to the Applications folder on your Leopard Mac. AppleWorks will create any preferences & other support files needed as long as you have the whole AppleWorks 6 folder. If you don't have, or don't know someone with, a Mac to use, a possible source would be a local user group. You can look for one near you on Apple's Find a User Group page.
If you would ever have the need to open ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files, you need to be aware that AppleWorks 6.2.9 (the current version) can't open all of these files. It gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, so a good choice would be AppleWorks 6.2.4. AppleWorks 6.2.4 is the earliest version stable in OS X. Avoid 6.2.7 - very, very, very buggy!
If you don't have access to a Mac with Classic or OS 8/9, you will need to buy a more current copy. Hardcore Mac is selling AppleWorks 6.2.4 the last time I looked. You also can sometimes find AppleWorks 6 on eBay, but it might be difficult to be sure it's no newer than 6.2.4 and has an OS X-aware installer.

Windows 7 wont install on macbook pro 15

I have a 15 macbook pro with the latest version of leopard installed and windows 7 will just not work! I used bootcamp, partitioned the hd, formatted it to whatever windows needed to be installed and all went smoothly till the last stage where it was finalizing the installation (the black command prompt where it successfully authorized the serial number and proceeded to finalize everything), suddenly a windows pops up saying it cannot be installed and then the computer restarts and there is no way to resume installation after!
I tried twice and got the same error.
I'm officially out of ideas...

It helps when you put your computer information (model/year and OS) in your Profile, it narrows down the problems sometimes.
If it partitioned the drive without any errors it has the oprion of letting you come back later to install Windows.
You "shouldn't" have any problems with your mouse or keyboard if they are wired. Windows does not have Bluetooth or Wireless drivers.
Is your computer 64 bit compatible? Here's some other links from @The hatter, read them throughly. This link is the dead one that is mentioned from @The hatter. They may or may be for your issues tho?

I want to re-install my Pre-Installed Lion Macbook Pro, but I can't get the Lion OS from App Store with my Apple ID. Please help, thanks!

Hi, I want to do a clean re-installation of my end 2011 Macbook Pro which comes with pre-installed Lion OS. I go through the installation steps and after App Store verified my Apple ID, it prompted me that I did not purchase the Lion OS. I am very surprise to see this message which my pre-installed Lion Macbook Pro should have it. Please help and advise how can I get the OS? All other bundle softwares were in the purchase record except the Lion OS.

That was my mistake - sorry - it IS Command-R to boot to the Recovery disk, not Command-D: I either just hit the wrong key or am just now coming awake from my nap.
Let me see if I can just explain it in a few steps - I don't know of any link (but it would make a good User Tip):
Create an up-to-the minute back-up of your internal hard drive using an external hard drive and Time Machine.
Boot to your recovery partion - holding down Command-R on boot.
Use Disk Utility to erase Macintosh HD - use one GUID partition and format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". Unless you're selling the machine, there's no need to do a secure erase (which can take hours).
After you erase the disk, re-install Lion from the same Recovery partition.
After installation is complete, reboot, again holding down the Command-R keys to boot into the Recovery Partition.
Restore your Time Machine back-up. This could take several hours.
Reboot after restore and you're back in business.
That should take care of everything - all you need is an Internet connection.
Call back if I didn't explain things too well - at least I got the Command-R right this time!

HT5037 I have downloaded and installed this tool, but it's still telling me I need to update. Any suggestions why this isn't working for me? I have a Macbook Pro.

I have downloaded and installed the iPhoto tool to update so my pictures transfer over, but it's still telling me I need to update. Any suggestions why this isn't working for me? I have a Macbook Pro.

You have to download and RUN the iPhoto library upgrade - then launch iPhoto - If you had iPhoto '08 or earlier (version 7.x.x) - the upgrade is installed in the utilities folder of your Applications folder

I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro and an iMac. Am I required to "purchase" the one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

I own and work on two Mac computers.. a MacBook Pro (dual core, 3.06GHz, 8 GBs RAM) and an iMac ((dual core, 3.06GHz, 4 GBs RAM). Am I required to "purchase" the Garageband one-time in-App purchase of $4.99 TWICE, one for each computer..??

The answer to your question is not about the GarageBand content but the concept of downloading any apps (or in-apps purchases) from the app store. The Key is your Apple ID.
Whenever you download an app (it doesn't matter if you pay for the app or if it is free) you have to to be logged in to the App Store with a valid Apple ID. That becomes your "Online License". Whenever you are logged in to the App Store with that Apple ID you will see your Purchase History, what apps you downloaded and also what apps have updates available. As you see, this procedure is independent from your actual computer. The App Store is only interested in your Apple ID for verification.
To download an app or content on a different computer, just make sure you are logged in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you did for the initial purchase.
The button will now display (instead of Free or the price tag) "Install" because the App Store knows that you purchased the item before (with that Apple ID) and that you computer you are on at the moment oesn't have th app installed. Just click the "Install" button to download the app.
Here is how the Button looks like depending on the condition.
The same principle applies to in-app purchases. With GarageBand, when you try to restore Purchases, make sure you are logged in in the Apple Store with the Apple ID you made the original purchase.
One more thing: You don't need to be logged in to actually run an app, only for online activities (downloads, updates)
Hope that helps

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated the system to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. Why and what am I supposed to do?

Apple put a new hard drive into my MacBook Pro and updated it from Lion to Maverick. They did not put iPhoto and iWeb on it but I did have it in Lion. They also didn't put Pages, Keynote or Numbers back on it until I argued with them. Of course, I didn't have my data backed up. My hard drive was destroyed when I tried to install the update of Mavericks myself. I should not have to buy iWeb and iPhoto when I already had them. Suggestions?

cwhargrave,
have you tried looking in the App Store, to see if you can redownload iWeb and iPhoto there gratis?
If you haven’t done so already, you should purchase an external hard drive to act as a Time Machine backup destination, so that you’ll have an option to rollback to a working environment if a new OS installation is troublesome.

Wacom intuos5 driver not installing on MacBook Pro 2009 ML

Hi,
I recently bought a new Wacom graphics tablet - intuos 5touch. Very expensive and supposedly very good. But I cannot install this on my MacBook Pro 13inch 2009 running mountain lion 10.8.2. I have the latest driver fromwacom and the installation process runs all the way through to 'validating packages' and then fails for no given reason. On Console there are a long list of errors but not sure if these are for the installation or other reasons. I have deleted and reloaded the driver and I have cleared my hard drive and clean installed mountain lion from the apple store with a time machine backup. I am extremely frustrated. I have been using my macbookpro for 3 years with no real problems but the latest os releases seem to be causing everything to run slow or not work. I have checked the hd for errors and repaired everything which needs doing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I cannot afford to replace my mac, it was expensive enough and should really last longer than 3 years.
Any help gratefully received
thanks
Helen

Ok, this is my latest update. Having spent 1.5 hours in the apple store having a full diagnostic check done - nothing obviously wrong - I have done the following:
Replaced the old drive with a new ssd. Added 4gb RAM to give a total of 8Gb. Done a full reinstall of mountain lion by download and NOT restored from time machine.
The Apple tech suggested that I either had a bad drive or there was a software conflict somewhere. I restored from my time machine backup onto the new drive and still couldn't install, so that told me it was software not hardware that was causing the problem. I then erased my new drive and downloaded mountain lion from the app store from scratch and reinstalled. Before doing anything else I downloaded the driver from wacom and - hey presto - it installed! Halleluia!
The conclusion is that I had either a corrupt file or setting somewhere which was causing a conflict with wacom and not allowing installation. If your disk is ok then I suggest you clone your hard drive to time machine or other backup, erase the hard drive, reinstall mountain lion from disk or download and then before doing anything else install wacom's driver. If this installs then you need to decide what to restore from your backup - the apple tech suggested not restoring settings and users as these areas are where corruptions can occur.
Tedious but it works, and my wacom intuos 5 is now working! I hope it's worth it!
Hope this helps.

My left click does not work on my track pad on my macbook pro 13 inch, is there a fix

I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

I have a 2007 Macbook Pro that is running 10.7.5 and I am trying to use a 10.6.3 DVD to install Snow Leopard to an external hard drive.

I have a 2007 Macbook Pro that is running 10.7.5 and I am trying to use a 10.6.3 DVD to install Snow Leopard to an external hard drive. I've followed every possible instruction on every which website. The problem is when I boot to Install disc, I am unable to choose which hard drive I'd like to install the OS on. It says that it is unable to Install and automatically takes me to Restore and suggests that I restore to Time Machine backups. Any and all help is appreciated.

lovinlife5959,
have you tried booting from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro? See if you can install its version of Mac OS X (either 10.4.9, 10.4.10, or 10.5.0, depending upon when it shipped from the factory) onto your external hard drive. If that works, boot from your external hard drive, run Software Update on it, and then try updating your external drive to 10.6.3 via the white Snow Leopard DVD.

I have a MacBook Pro 5,4 running OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10. A website i like has a known bug with 5.1.10 and recommends I install a newer version of Safari or use Firefox or Chrome. Just looking for advice on the best approach. Thanks!

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.
Be aware, Apple no longer support Snow Leopard v10.6 > www.ibtimes.com/apple-kills-snow-leopard-os-x-106-no-longer-receives-security-u pdates-1558393
See if your Mac can run v10.9 Mavericks > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
If so, you can download and install Mavericks for free from the App Store.

OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013

OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 can't be installed on MacBook Pro retina late 2013
OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 installer is available in the App Store but it can't be downloaded because "OS X Mavericks can't be installed on this computer".
If the installer of version 10.9 is already in the application folder it can't be updated for the same reason.
I've seen that they are two versions of the updater that are downloadable from apple's website and one is specific for the MacBook Pro retina late 2013.
I suspect that the installer in the App Store is not an universal installer. It is stupid because you can't reinstall that Mac is needed.
I phoned to Apple (AppleCare) and they don't know why this happens.

Hello,
Try to boot the 15" MBPr as target when connected to your MBA (if you have the right cables and adapters).
From the MBA, install on the 15" MBPr's disk, in that order :
The 10.9.1 update for Mavericks except MBPr
Download
and then the 10.9.1 update for Mavericks specific for MBPr
Download
The MBPr should be bootable again. I did it for an external HD.
Hope this helps.
Best,

My MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

Hello, my MacBook Pro is still running the OS X 10.5.8, can I install the Mavericks directly? Or could you advise which latest system is able to be installed for my notebook?

First up, we don't know what kind of MacBook you have so we can't tell you what OS you can run. You can use this instruction to identify which MacBook model you have: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1635. Alternatively, from the Apple menu open "About this Mac". From the window that pops up, click "More Info". This will open the system profiler. Click "Hardware" and locate the model identifier, there.
Next, you need to determine if your system can even run Mavericks before you can go about installing it. These are the requirements:
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Lastly, as you'll note from the above, you can't update to Mavericks (or Mountain Lion or Lion) from 10.5.8. Mavericks is only available in the App Store. You need to be running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) in order to download and install any OS from Lion (10.7) and up. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
