Appleworks doesn't seem to be installed on my mac mini

I bought a mac mini 1.25Ghz on the third of January. I don't seem to have appleworks installed, not an icon in the dock and it doesnt show in the applications folder. Is there another way to tell if it is in fact installed? It says on the box that it should be installed, when I insert the mac OSX 1 install dvd that came with the mini, it only has language updaters as an upgrade. Just a bit puzzled here.
mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

figured it out, the old down arrow on the installer on macox installer disk 1

  • I can't boot from OS install USB drive Mac Mini Model 1176

    How I can't boot from OS install USB drive, Mac Mini Model 1176

    Thank you Eustace Mendis for your answer.
    I rebooted the Mac Mini holding the Option key down but it doesn't work. I used an USB drive with O.s 10.7 from Apple that I have used previuosly with other computers and I also tried with a CD install O.S 10.6
    It seems that the Mac Mini can't recognize the keyboard inputs and I tried with 3 different keyboards but still didn't work.
    I also reset the SMC and PRAM but I had no luck. Any clues?

  • SSD Cache in HP ENVY Phoenix 800-445qe doesn't seem to be installed right

    I have a newly purchased HP ENVY Phoenix 800-445qe which includes what's supposed to be a 16gb ssd cache.  Running WIndows 7 Pro 64.  
    The ssd drive was factory installed so it shows in Windows as with the name DATADRIVE1 (doesn't sound like it was intended as a cache, does it?) and it shows as drive E:. My understanding is that if it were really installed as a cache, it wouldn't be showing as a drive in Windows Explorer.
    The HDD was set as ACHI in BIOS, not RAID.  The Intel RST screen in firmware (accessable through Ctrl-I) shows both drives as non-RAID Disks.  The HP support assistant shows the Intel RST x 64 driver v 13.2.0.1016 installed. 
    Elsewhere on the HP site is a support article with the title: A Seondary 16 GB Drive Shows up in Windows 8 File Explorer, which is the problem I'm having except, I have Win 7, not 8; it says to download a softpaq with release notes that say it only applies to HP ENVY HP-8 systems and requires Win 8; it's fix is to install Condusiv ExpressCache, which I'm under the impression is an alternative to Intel's RST, not something that works with it.  So that doesn't seem to be the fix I'm looking for.  HP Tech Support's helpful suggestion was to find a local computer dealer an pay them to fix it. (Yeah, right.)
    Does anybody here know how to get this thing working?

    There ain't no such thing in the Control Panel.  *sigh*  
    Let me jump off in a very different direction, because as this point I've probably wasted more time on this than the cache can ever save me over the life of the system....
    I have a 128GB SSD on order that I was going to install as my data drive, and then keep it backed up on a partition on the HDD.  That's almost twice as large as my OS+Programs partition on my current XP machine.  I'm thinking maybe I should bail on the whole cache thing, install the 128GB drive as my OS+Programs drive, and set up the 16 GBs as a data drive (since it seems to be set up that way already anyway.  That's a little small, but I can make it work if I move older data files to the HDD as a kind of near line storage.
    Unless you know of a reason I can't do that--like the mSATA SSD won't work as a drive--the question then becomes, how do I set up the 128GB SSD as the OS drive?  I see two possibilities:
    The first would be to use the HP restore image function to initialize the SSD, so it has the EFI partition with the Boot information, and then use Norton Ghost to restore the Ghost image I've created from my now customized Drive C (removing bloatware etc) to the new SSD.  
    The second--which could be a lot easier-- would be to make a ghost image of the entire drive of the current HDD and then use Ghost to restore the image to the 128GB SSD. 
    Do you know if either or both of these approaches will work?

  • Mac OS X doesn't seem to be installing correctly

    I am trying to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard on my macbook pro the current version installed is Mac OS X 10.5.8 I placed the install disc into the computer a prompt came up to install it, I chose my main HD and the install took about 10 mins. After it was finished the computer restarted and the disc was ejected. But upon checking my computer is still running on the older 10.5.8 version and leopard isn't showing up.
    Any help would be much appreaciated.

    First make sure you are backed up, just in case. Next boot from the OS installer disk. Insert the disk and reboot while holding down the 'c' key. When the Mac boots select your language and then from the Utilities menu select Disk Utility. Select the disk and run Repair Disk. Afterward quit Disk Utility and then start the install.

  • Install Windows7 on Mac Mini without Bootcamp

    I just got a MacMini and wanted to install windows on it without using bootcamp but had no luck. I have been checkout out some hints over the past couple of days but nothing really worked. Prior to this I had never used bootcamp and saw this as an option but that didn't work either as I don't want to run windows on the side but rather replace the MAC OS entirely for Windows 7. I'm working on a project and needs Windows for the programs I need to use but I wanted a MacMini computer as its dependable and a good machine.
    Anyhow got some advice on how to get my Mac OS X off this Mini and replace it entirely with Windows 7?
    Thanks a lot.

    The computer is for a Windows environment, Its part of a project I am working on and the person who will use it, doesn't know anything about MAC. I don't want to have a MAC based computer that boots to MAC OS and then windows needs to be launched. What I am trying to do is have a Mac Mini with just windows 7 on it. Can you suggest how I do this?

  • Mavericks won't install on newest mac mini fusion drive

    I have a mac mini, latest version.  I have a fusion drive.
    Mavericks won't install on that drive.  I get this message:
    This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. Use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme. Select the Disk, choose the
    partition tab, select the volume Scheme and then click Options.
    Well, I did that, up to "choose the partition tab."  Then it says "you may only split this partition into two. To do this, click +."
    I did that, and there were two partitions.  the only option left is to select apply, which I didn't.
    The "options" were still greyed out.
    So now what?
    Thanks for any input.

    Lion creates a recovery area with a minimal version of OS X and it may be unable to do so due to use over the years, and possibly other resizing operations (Boot Camp).  It could just need more space, if you only have less than 8gb free.  Lion shuffles and merges the two systems when it upgrades.  You can burn the image downloaded from App Store by finding the dmg file inside the "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" bundle, dragging it into disk utility, then burning from there.
    Otherwise, you can appropriate a MBR/BIOS formatted 4GB thumbdrive, 8GB of either EFI or MBR/BIOS thumbdrive, flash storage device, or external hard drive, and format it, using the restore operation through disk utility to copy the contents of the installer disk to the media.  Exposed via the alt key before the Apple logo, should show the bootable media, where you can format over the former installation.
    As always, backup your files when upgrading.  I recommend if your installion is over a year old to wipe and upgrade if you can't make otherwise the media bootable, using your 10.6 recovery dvd.
    If you cannot find an external medium to backup your files before the upgrade, if you need to format via disk utility (Through 10.6 media), you can consider Dropbox as an option (2GB free account).
    It's not uncommon for the partition to simply refuse operations, including upgrades and resizing.

  • Installed SSD in Mac Mini to split as bootcamp drive, why can't I format the original drive?

    I just bought a Mac Mini. Before I even booted it up I installed a 256 GB SSD along side the stock 1 GB hard drive, and reinstalled Mac OS and Windows 8 on the new drive using bootcamp. Everything is working fine, but I'd like to reformat the stock drive as one big NTFS partition so I can use it as shared storage between the OSes.
    When I view the drives in Apple's Disk Utility, it shows the following partitions:
    256 GB SSD:
    SSD - Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (A silly name for my new Mac OS partition)
    Bootcamp - NTFS (A silly name for my Windows 8 partition)
    1TB Apple HDD
    Macintosh HD - Mac OS Extended (Journaled) (The original Mac OS install from the factory)
    When I view the drives in Windows Disk Manager, it shows the following partitions:Disk 0 (1TB hard drive)
    200 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)
    930 GB HFS Healthy (Primary Partition)
    620 MB Healthy (Primary Partition)
    Disk 1 (256 GB SSD)
    200 MB Healthy (GPT Protective Partition)
    (E:) 118 GB HFS Healthy (Primary Partition)
    620 MB Healthy (Primary Partition)
    BOOTCAMP (C:) 119 GB NTFS Healthy (System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Parition)
    When I try to erase the 1 TB drive in Apple's Disk Utility, it gives me an error saying "Disk Erase failed with the error: Couldn't unmount disk". Is my old drive still holding something important, like a master boot record or whatever the modern equivalent to that is? Should I use Windows to try to erase the 1 TB drive? I'm pretty confident I'm booting into the copy of Mac OS on the new SSD, because the bootcamp startup screen shows the OS partition on the old drive as well, and I'm selecting the new one. The EFI partition on the old drive seems suspicious to me, is bootcamp using this or something?

    You don't have to use an Apple drive.  Any name brand

    quite well for me.

  • ML clean install on 2013 Mac Mini - not working

    Hello guys,
    I have a weird problem with my new Mac Mini. I received it yesterday, the first thing I wanted to do was to format "Macintosh HD" and do a clean install of Mountain Lion using a bootable USB. I will be using the computer only for audio composing / mixing and I don't want any pre-installed junk on it. I've done this numerous times with other Macs in the past. However, when I try to boot using the Mountain Lion USB, it gives me a "prohibited sign" and I can't boot from it. Then, I tried to boot with the Mountain Lion recovery partition and re-install Mountain Lion through there, but I can't format the internal HDD using Disk Utility, most likely because the recovery partition is also on that hard drive? I've tried several things, without success:
    Repair disk (permissions)
    Reset PRAM / NVRAM
    Make bootable USB's using Disk Utility, Lion Disk Maker and Carbon Copy Cloner
    I imagine if I could boot into recovery mode and format the HDD from there, it would work using online recovery, but how can I format the HDD when the recovery partition is also on this HDD? And why doesn't the Mac Mini accept the Mountain Lion installer USB in the first place? Or does the installer not recognize the Mac Mini? Very confused, any help would be appreciated.
    Best regards,
    JPeters86 / NL

    If your Mac mini has a fusion drive, it shipped with a "special Fusion Drive only" version of Mountain Lion. While the difference is apparently mainly a Fusion Drive aware version of Disk Utility, no other version of Mountain will boot your mini. However, you should be able to reinstall a working copy of Mountain Lion complete with all the apps you did not want by doing a Cold boot (boot from a powered off condition) while holding down the Commd+R keys and performing the reinstallation from the Recovery drive. An internet connection is required.
    If by any chance you erased or reformatted the entire drive, thereby deleting the Recovery partition, you can still recover by holding down Option+Command+R during the reboot. This will force a reboot via the internet and will be a lot slower, but you should still be able to install a functional copy of Mountain Lion this way.
    Hopefully the two streams of OS X will merge in Maverick.

  • Install Bootcamp on Mac Mini late 2014 Yosemite Fails?

    Trying to install bootcamp with Win 8.1 pro on a Mac Mini (Late 2014) under Yosemite and get to the screen on Win 8 side which says 'Where do you want to install Windows?' and I choose the "Drive 0 Partition 4: BOOTCAMP" and the next button never becomes enabled.
    There is a message saying "Windows can't be installed on drive 0 partition 4" and an addition message box which says "Windows cannot be installed to this hard disk space. Windows must be installed to a partition formatted as NTFS".
    At this point I'm dead in the water -- cannot proceed.
    Formatting the drive doesnt work and just screws up the whole process.
    I've redone this quite a few times and end up in the same situation everytime.
    I also tried with Win7 install I had but that failed completely and it never really proceeded after rebooting from Mac side.
    Any ideas?
    Is bootcamp busted on Yosemite? I dont easily have another machine I can try it on.
    Is bootcamp busted on Mac Mini? Has anyone tried bootcamp on new late 2014 Mac Mini?
    Thanks
    James

    Hi Steve
    Its not a fusion drive. The full spec is
    2.6GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5 (Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz)
    16GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM
    1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
    Intel Iris Graphics
    I wanted the size of the drive large as I'm going to use it for just a small amount of Mac work and a very large amount of Windows work.
    I did actually click format during a number of the attempts I've tried. It generally formatted and left me no better advanced. Generally it would removed the word BOOTCAMP from the drive. I've even tried deleting the partition and reestablishing in -- that doesnt help either.
    My latest attempt has seen that the whole bootcamp partitioning structure is truly busted. When I go back to the Mac and enter bootcamp assistant it says I cannot do anything now and tells me the partitions cannot be changed. Now I'm really not in a great position.

  • Glitches in the FCP 5 installed in a MAC Mini G4 1.42Ghz, 512RAM

    I recently upgraded my Mac Mini's memory to 512 from the standard 256 it came with. I have installed FCP 5 on it. When I start doing my editing the clips don't play smoothly. They keep freezing up and then the audio continues and the clip catches up after a couple of seconds. Do I need to reinstall it or do I need to change any setting on it.
    mac mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    #1 - More RAM. At least 1GB, if not more. FCP is a pro app that wants lots of memory.

  • Lion won't install on my Mac mini. Why?

    I have a 2 yr old Mac mini with 2.53 GHz Core Duo CPU, 4 GB of RAM and it's running 10.6.8. I just downloaded Lion but the installer says it can't install on my HD. Why not? I cannot find any info about what to do.
    Is there some software on my computer that the installer does not like?
    Does Lion need a completely new partition to install on?
    If so, why is this not mentioned anywhere ?
