Appleworks keeps crashing - can't install updater

This just started happening two days ago: Whenever I open Appleworks 6.2.9, it crashes - it opens for a couple of seconds, then crashes; I then try to reopen it, and the same thing happens. I downloaded an update (6.2.9, same as this) from Apple, and tried to install it, but it wouldn't install because this one was already there. Couldn't find a driver to download (drivers seem to get corrupted, so I thought this might work). No Appleworks documents (most of mine!) are usable. How do I fix it?

It's not drivers but the AppleWorks preferences that can corrupt. The linked user tip will help you sort it out.

  • My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update.. how do I get my phone to work right

    My Iphone keeps crashing since the new update 7.1.. how do I get my phone to work right

    First, create a separate login on your computer for your friend. Do this BEFORE you do anything else. Next, make sure iTunes is up to date. Then:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in iTunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect her phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on her phone will be in her itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore her itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding her contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing 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
    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 then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I can't install updates in my ipad 2 after i update my ipad2 in ios 6

    Why is it that i can't install updates in my ipad2. It keeps on saying installing for the whole time.and also the u tube app is gone in my ipad 2. What's happening!!!

    I have the same problem. It's telling me that i have to change country and region but then i cannot access my apple id on the itunes & app stores in settings. :(

  • I can't install updates to apps installed via a CD

    My iMovie and iPhoto was originally installed via a CD, and for the last few months I keep getting requests to install updated versions. But the installation never works because the originals didn't come from the App Store, yet there's no way to refuse these updates. It's been really tiresome to keep getting asked to update these apps. Do I have to uninstall the apps from my Mac to get these update requests to stop?

    Depends upon the versions your have. You can upgrade from immediately prior versions, otherwise, you must purchase the upgrades. Plus in order to be eligible for a free upgrade, if any, you must have installed Mavericks.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
    iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

    hi
    I had the same problem (update failed for normal user, update worked for administrator, but then normal user still got asked about installing the update even though it was already done).
    Following the advice on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_update#Software_Update_not_working_properly worked for me, in particular to remove the update-related xml files.

    Hello...
    I am having the exact same problem this person was having, except that I wasn't able to repair permissions. When I attempt to do this, I get this message:
    The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    Does this mean that I have to do an Archive and Install? In which case, would you mind walking me through that process? <:)
    I really have no idea why this is occurring, as well..if you could explain that to me, I'd be very grateful.

    I saw your posts and I will be happy to help.
    @Kristelline
    Do you have the links that you used to download the Cyberlink MediaSuite and Cyberlink LabelPrint?
    Are you getting any errors message when you are trying the installation? Try doing the installation with your anti-virus disconnected. Also try right-clicking on the file and running it as Administrator.
    @Paul-Armstrong
    When do you get that error message about it not being a valid drive during the install or before it starts?
    Thank you,
