Appleworks 6.2.9 updater not responding

I am running Appleworks 6.2.4 and just downloaded the 6.2.9 updater. I was able to unstuff the file and double-clicked on the updater application. It opens and then I get a little window that says "gathering information", but it never progresses beyond that. I have forced quit and tried again, but to no avail. (Note: the first time I opened the updater application, I was greeted with the software agreement window, which I accepted. That window no longer appears when I've tried to re-run the updater.)
Thanks.

Even if AppleWorks finds a copy of AppleWorks to update on your startup drive, the updater looks at all connected drives to make sure there aren't any other copies of AppleWorks that need updating. So, the simple solution is to make sure all drives, including your iDisk, are unmounted before running the updater.

  • IPod Updater not responding

    Hi everybody
    my iPod was displaying the folder with exclamation mark
    so I figured that I need to restore it
    the problem is
    whenever I open the iPod Updater and connect my iPod, the iPod Updater wouldn't respond
    it just freezes
    and I downloaded the latest version but I got the same problem
    I've put my iPod in desk mode, but this wouldn't help either
    does anyone has any suggesions?
    thanks
    sam

    You again? The poster of this topic WENT to that page, genius! I've been havign a very similar problem, I must have seen that page a zillion times! You are being incredibly patronizing, please stop.
    To the poster of this thread: I had this problem, and I scoured the earth until I found this:

    I had the "firmware update failure" AND your "NOT RESPONDING" thing, and that page helped a lot. Hope it helps you.

  • Yosemite update not responding

    Hi,
    I just update my Air (Early 2014) to Yosemite. At the end of the installation something went wrong. My air is not responding and the installation process is not carried on. It tells me that the installation is finished in about 1 minute but since a few hours nothing changed.
    What can I do?
    Thanks for you help,
    Michael

    Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly to restart.

  • Software Update not responding

    Software Update is not responding.  Every time I try to open software update, it gives me the spinning wheel, and doesn't progress.  Eventually, it tells me that App Store is not responding, and I have to force quit the app store.  I tried going through the Terminal, and nothing happened after I typed the command (using sudo) and entered my password.  I'm also having trouble installing programs using OS X's installer app, and I'm wondering if these problems might be related.

    Try this:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • MY Appleworks updater not responding.

    My question is similar to the previous post by Emily Kessler, with some difference. I have had AW 6.2.9 installed for some time. Yesterday the AW icon in my dock suddenly changed (but Get Info says it's still 6.2.9), and when I tried to spell check a WP file, I got a message saying that the main dictionary was not installed. So I downloaded the 6.2.9 installer, but when I tried to use it, I got the dreaded rainbow whirling pizza and message "Gathering information," then message: "The default location required for this install could not be found. The install will be cancelled." ??? Spotlight doesn't find iDisk on my HD, only "iDisk Utility." ??? NB: I also have AW 6.0.4 installed (running under Classic). For almost a year, I've been using both 6.0.4 and 6.2.9 with no problem. I'm grateful for any help.
    Mac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    First, you cannot download any version of AppleWorks any where (legally). It either came with a Mac or it was purchased. You have a G4 Mac, is that a G4 iMac? If it is, AppleWorks is on the restore disks that came with it. You can install AppleWorks without erasing & restoring all of the original software. Apple has written two articles, Knowledge Base article 300316 on installing AppleWorks 6 & Knowledge Base article 61802 on restoring the software than came with your Mac.
    I asked about Classic because, since you had AppleWorks 6.0.4, I thought you had an older AppleWorks 6 installer CD. The original installer for 6.0.4 won't run in OS X. It needs OS 8 or 9.
    It is not at all unusual to have main & user dictionaries on the hard drive & AppleWorks not be able to spell check. That's just a matter of "telling" AppleWorks which dictionaries to use & where they are. With a word processing document open, go to Edit > Writing Tools -> Select Dictionaries... > click "Main Dictionary" (if it isn't already clicked) > Choose > & navigate to the dictionary which should be in HD > Applications > AppleWorks 6 > AppleWorks Essentials > Dictionaries. The same process is used to create a user dictionary. Click "User Dictionary" then click "New" -> Save.
    Yes, AppleWorks 6.2.8 has macros. It's not AppleWorks that doesn't support them, it's OS X.
    I still think part of the problem is that you have/had two different versions of AppleWorks 6 on your hard drive.
    When you put the AppleWorks icon in the Dock, you are not putting the actual application in the Dock, it automatically creates an alias. The actual application needs to be in the same AppleWorks 6 folder with the AppleWorks Essentials folder. If it's not in the same folder, you will not be able to spell check or translate documents into another file type.

  • AppleWorks 6.2.9 Updater not running because of default?

    I have version 5.0.4 of AppleWorks, so I decided to update it with the 6.2.9 Updater. Whenever I run the program, a window pops up saying "The default location for this install could not be found. This install was canceled." How do I change the default?

    Hello
    There is NO updater available allowing you to update from AW 5.0.4 to AW 6.x.
    This kind of upgrade is a MAJOR one. You must buy the product in the version 6.
    At this time the current version is AW 6.2.9 and it seems that is is the ultimate one.
    You may find AW 6.x versions at low cost on ebay or thru some other vendors.

  • HT4623 6.1.2 OTA update not responding

    when i go to update my iphone 4 using OTA it just sits there checking for updates but never finds anything,it just spins and spins however when connect to itunes it notifies me that there is an update avail.I'm currently running iOS 6.1.1 and want to update to 6.1.2

    Don't listen to anyone who tells you not to update. You're going to have to update regardless. If you need to do any troubleshooting with Apple, step one is to update. If you ever have to restore your phone, you'll be updating. If you ever have to send your phone in for repair, you'll be updating. Yes, there are issues, but these will be ironed out. As far as your issue is concerned, you can try to reset the network settings and the like. Again, even if the option isn't there, it's necessarily indicative of an issue.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.

  • IPad 3G 64Gig not responding to touch

    I have a serious  problem with my iPad  and would really like some resolve to the challenges I'm encountering.  My iPad (3G 64G) stopped working in December 2013 after I did an iOS update (not responding to touch gestures).  I did everything to try revive it, from hard shutdown to reset and nothing works.
    On the 16th May 2014 it started working after i brought it to a certified Apple repairs store (MacPlus) in Jamaica for a diagnosis.  The results given is that there is a defective chip on the circuit board that is contributing to the problem, and while doing their test the device worked for an hour then stopped responding.  When I went to collect the device, it started working until the 27th May it stopped working at 6:58pm.  Later that night (10:50pm) it started responding to touch again, but by the morning of the 28th it is gone again till this moment.
    My question now is, what is the root cause of this problem (base on the situation laid out) and how unique is it?  What kind of resolution can Apple now give me when this problem started manifested itself just after the warranty has expired?  Can you refer me to an Apple Store/Support to have this problem resolved and how much would it possibly cost to get this done?
    I await your earliest response.
    Thank you.

  • AppleWorks "not responding"

    I have had my iBook G4 a couple of weeks and today is the first time I've tried "AppleWorks". Every time I try to go on it the little wheel keeps on going and it never opens. I have to force quit to get out of it. When I go to force quit, it states that AppleWorks is not responding. How do I open AppleWorks?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Although my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, that David refers to might help, the symptoms you are seeing is more indicative of full Recent Items and/or AutoSave folders. This would seem unlikely if you haven't used AppleWorks on this Mac before, but, if you transfered files/data from another Mac when setting up the iBook, it could be. I think it's worth looking at these three user tips on Recent Items.
    Dale Gillard - AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?
    Dale Gillard - Recent items not visible/updated
    Yvan Koenig - No More Recent Items
    Also, after any update, upgrade or installation of software that asks for your administrator password, use Disk Utility to repair permissions.

  • I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either.

    I just updated itunes to 11.1.3 on my laptop and now it won't open. It does not respond to trying "safe mode" either. Anyone have an idea as to what to do?

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • "Update server not responding" when trying to update Acrobat 9 Pro

    I just installed Acrobat 9 Pro on my desktop computer and on my laptop. I was able to download and install the latest updates to the copy on my desktop computer (so that it is now version 9.3.0), using Help>Check for Updates.
    When I try the same command on my laptop, I get and error message that states "The update server is not responding, which means it may be offline at the moment, or the Internet or firlewall settings may be incorrect. Please try again later." I tried several times yesterday and today with the same error. The message pops up immediatley; it doesn't even seem to actually try to connect.
    I disabled my firewall and antivirus software and still get the same result. I uninstalled then reinstalled Acrobat and still get the same result.
    I looked online at Adobe.com to see about downloading and installing the updates manually, but it's difficult for me to tell which updates I need. Some are for other languages and some are for 64-bit but I have Windows 7 32-bit.
    A call to tech support was no help. The agent seemed to think because I installed verison 9.0 that I only needed the one English update listed on the download page under 9.0, and not any of the later updates. . . And he said that Adobe recommends manually installing updates from Adobe.com rather than using the Check for Updates command (?!).
    Anyway, does anyone know what might be causing this problem with the adobe updater? Maybe I need to reinstall the updater (where do I find it?).
    OR
    Can someone tell me which of the updates listed on the Acrobat dowload page I should manually install to bring my product up to date?
    [Running Windows 7 32-bit on both machines]
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Which version of Acrobat do you have ?
    (Launch Acrobat and Go to Acrobat->About Adobe Acrobat menu item and check the version )
    Also, can you ping following urls ?
    armmf.adobe.com
    armdl.adobe.com
    ardownload.adobe.com
    Are these urls reachable ?
    Also, you can check the contents of host file /etc/defaults/host to see that none of the ips are redirected.
    One more thing that you could try:
    If you have firewall on, could you please disable the firewall and then try the update. Does it works now ?

  • Updated to v 4.0.1. when searching. FF says not responding and uses half a gig of memory

    i have been using FF for years. it auto updated to 4.0.1 but now when i open FF. Do a search. as soon as i press enter system ram goes down and FF says not responding. and it uses 500mb RAM + and i have to force close. i have re-installed it and even factory rest my laptop thinking it was that. but Still the problem persists ??? i have gone back to a older version and that is working fine as i am using it to ask this question

    Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

  • Slow, not responding, and not compatible with java etc since updating to 6.0.2. Love Firefox normally but am not happy.

    Since updating to Firefox 6.0.2 i have not been happy with the way it is running. It is incredibly slow, keeps telling me its 'not responding' and looking at my add-ons, seems incompatible with the java console, with skype click to call, etc. I also seem unable to look at complex 3d graphics online, which used to work fine. Now they end up crashing the system.
    This is a big problem for me, and i have noticed (on your other forums on this website) that others are having similar problems.
    Is there any thing i can do before this problem is eventually fixed by firefox?

    i tried. like i said, only when i disable all i can watch youtube. i have not checked settings of extensions but i am not an it specialist. i probably would not know what to look for.

  • (06 Oct 14) updated firefox and Kaspersky, now have problems with Barclays site - firefox "not responding" and plugin error on trying to close. Help!

    Updated Kaspersky to 15.0.0.463(a) - ( comes with "safe money" - now turned off).
    Updated Firefox from (old) version to 32.0.3.
    Barclays bank site loads properly, and allows access to accounts BUT when I try to look at a statement, Firefox "not responding" and a blank/ unresponsive page is displayed.
    In order to acheive any movement I have to close firefox... this gives rise to windows wanting to send error data, and Firefox apologising for loosing the tab.
    None of which allows me to do essential banking transactions.
    It is this machine that has the problem - I can access without problems via work computer (using google Chrome)

    My guess is that your statement is a PDF document, since banks and other companies often use that format for statements.
    Firefox has various options for viewing PDFs, including a built-in PDF viewer (not as full featured as Adobe's), or the option to use a plugin such as Adobe Acrobat, or to launch the PDF in an external application. This article describes how to experiment with that setting: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].
    On another subject, your plugin list has various plugins described as "Google Chrome Extension". I haven't seen that before. Could you review the list and see whether they really should be active in Firefox or can be deactivated?
    Open the Add-ons page using either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins.
    For those that are not essential, I suggest changing them to "Never Activate". This might not take effect immediately in that window, but should disable them in new windows.
