Appleworks on an Intel Core Duo iMac?

I have an Appleworks vr 6.0 CD. It apparently will not install on my new imac. How do I get an upgrade that will work? Need to buy a newer version?

The updater apparently needs to find an AppleWorks folder and contents.
The installer error apparently means you have a language version different from the language of OS X you are using. Or, it may be because the version on the CD is for OS 9. You may be able to circumvent the problem. Instead of clicking on the Installer icon, locate the actual package that is installed. It will have a filename with ".pkg" or ".mpkg" appended to it. Double-click on the package instead of the using the installer.
If that doesn't work then download the shareware utility Pacifist and use it to extract the AppleWorks folder and files from the package archive on the CD.

    Of course I can't throw it away since I get a message it's part of the sytem. I can show package contents and throw those away, but evidently not a good idea!!

    Hello
    How do I back up my files from an intel core duo imac to an external hard drive?

    Like you do with any other Mac*:

    Note: if you have a CoreDuo, you can only upgrade up to 10.6.8.  Only Core2Duos and higher can go to 10.7 (Lion).

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n upgrade options for early Intel Core Duo iMac

    I have an iMac from mid 2006. I recently purchased a Timecapsule - partly for the wireless back ups, and partly to upgrade my wireless network to 802.11n. There is a software upgrade from Apple that upgrades older 802.11 a/b/g Airport cards in the iMac to 'n' standard. Here is the link:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/D4141ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0Mg&mco=MjIzMDkzNA
    The page states that the upgrade is compatible "If you have a Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (except the 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)". What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work. I have also tried to install Airport Extreme updates (2007002 and 2008004) and these report that the hardware is not compatible. Doing some searching around these forums and others, the issue with the original Core Duo iMacs not being upgradeable to 802.11n is out there - shame Apple weren't more explicit.
    I have seen that there are various USB based 802.11n adapters available. Whilst searching on this topic, I also came across a site offering various Mac upgrades, including an upgrade to the Airport card to upgrade wireless capability from 802.11g to 802.11n. It looks like a straight replacement for the internal card - link here:
    http://www.macupgrades.co.uk/store/productinfo.php?productsid=461
    The company offering this is in the UK, but the product appears to be from a Sonnet, a US company. Does anyone out there have experience of installing this product (or having it installed) and can you comment on how it performs? Is it a seamless replacement for the original Airport card?

    What it doesn't tell you is that if you have an early version of the iMac (pre-Sept 2006) that shipped with the Intel Core Duo Processor (note - not the Core 2 Duo) then the upgrade will not work.
    If it says you need to have a Core "2" Duo processor, then it seems to me they are telling you very clearly that it will not work with the earlier Core (no "2") Duo iMacs.
    The "late 2006" iMacs with Core 2 Duo (except for that one education model they mentioned) have wireless networking hardware that is 802.11n capable. When they were initially sold, Apple chose to NOT enable the "n" capability for some reason; maybe because the standard was still in flux and not enough testing had been done with the driver. Later, they enabled the "n" capability with a firmware update. But that was only possible because the wireless hardware was already capable of doing "n."
    Earlier iMacs do not have this hardware so there is no way to enable it with a firmware or software update. 802.11g is plenty fast enough for Internet access (you won't notice a difference with "n"). If you are using Time Machine over wireless, it may take a while longer to do that initial backup (you could connected it by Ethernet cable when it is doing that initial backup), but subsequent backups are incremental, so the "g" versus "n" speed difference will not be as critical. Since your iMac is Core Duo (32-bit) and the future of Mac OS X is 64-bit, especially after Snow Leopard's release, it may be best to save your money and keep your iMac intact (not opened).

  • Upgrade Intel Core Duo iMac to Core 2 Duo?

    I know that, in theory a Merom processor is compatible with a motherboard made for a Yonah CPU, which is what's in the original Intel iMacs. However, I know that most Wintel laptops require a BIOS flash in order to support the newer processor.
    My question: do you think it will be possible for us to upgrade to the Core 2 Duo from the Core Duo? Will the speed increase be worth it? From what I've read, Merom is not that much faster than Yonah, but has anyone seen anything different?

    Hello,
    People have installed them in the Mac Mini CoreSolo and CoreDuo without a BIOS or Firmware update. So, it should be fine doing the same in the iMac CoreDuo.
    The CPU is in a socket in the iMac CoreDuo, so installation should not be a problem (if you don't mind dismantling your computer and voiding your warranty).
    Reports have varied on the speed difference. But, you do gain 64-BIT capabilities with Merom. Otherwise, Merom's specs are very similar to Yonah, so the gains are only going to come from optimized routines. Raw processing power probably isn't much different and the bus speed is the same.
    At this point in time, you're going to pay a lot for a new Merom chip. So, the cost benefit probably isn't there for an upgrade. But, as they become common and new versions arrive, the chips will probably drop a bit in price and make the upgrade more cost effective.
    I hope this helps.
    Let us know if you have other questions.

  • Is it better to buy the Intel Core Duo iMac no. 1?

    Here the iMacs Core Duo 1,83Ghz and Core 2 Duo 1.83 Ghz are the same price. Difference is, the Core Duo has an ATI X1600 card while the Core 2 Duo has that crappy Intel 950 integrated graphics chip. So which would be better for me to buy?
    Thank you all so much.
    iMac DV SE 400Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks for the answer!
    From my experience Macs do not need 256 MB video cards, am I right? Like, ther ATI X1600 comes in 256, 512MB for PC versions... And when my Imac with its 8MB of video memory was able to play games, I always noticed that the same game on the PC required 32 or 64 MB of dedicated video.
    I know the Intel is better than the others... But since I read that all the options in World of Warcraft were greyed out using this card, it annoyed me... After all it's kind of an old game, since it runs on a G4 with 1 GHz.
    Anyway I've made up my mind and decided for the first model, actually it's 500 USD cheaper and that helped me a lot in choosing it

  • RealPlayer Safari plugin won't work on Intel core duo iMac 20"

    Real Player Safari plug in won't work on Intel coreduo iMac 20" to either listen to audi or to play video and I don't know whether it is a Safari issue, Rosetta issue, RealPlayer issue or all of the above. I am also concerned about asking Safari to run under Rosetta becasue this seems to defeat the point of getting the latest machine. Does anyone know what the problem is and the likely timescales for a fix? Thanks. John
    PS. I am able to access the resources I want using stand alone RealPlayer and Firefox.

    Hello, this happens because Power-PC-plugins usually can't cooperate with Intel-coded programs. I've experienced the same mess with the famous GraphicConverter and TWAIN plugins from Epson. Until Real will not offer Universal-coded plugins, you have to use the Rosetta-bridge with PPC program versions. In such case I generally prefer the FireFox browser.

  • Printing with HP 4MV from intel core duo iMac with OS X 10.5

    I have just bought the new iMac with the latest update of OS X 10.5 and am in the process of setting everything up. I have an old but good HP LaserJet 4MV which has been a very good A3 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution printer which to replace like for like would be fairly expensive. The printer is currently linked via an ethernet cable to a router and the router to my old Power PC G4 running Tiger 10.4.11. Is it possible to connect this printer to my new iMac without too much hassle, using my ethernet router?

    The driver is included in OS X. It is very easy to Add the printer in Print & Fax prefs, using the IP printer > HP Jetdirect protocol.
    (Should be nearly identical to how you did that in Tiger 10.4.)

  • Can't force iMovie HD 6 on Intel Core Duo iMac into Rosetta from get info.

    I can't get it to force imovie hd 6 into rosetta mode from get info. (doesn't show words and check box "force Rosetta" like other programs. If it can't, how can i get chromakey on imovie?

    Last night, I was trying to do this as well. I was attemping to get plugins that worked with iMovie5 and clicking the Rosetta option was supposed to be work-around. I am guessing it no longer works with the latest versions of the Intel systems or iMovie.

  • Upgrade to Leopard on Intel Core Duo IMAC with Parallels and VM Ware

    I received my copy of Leopard 10.5.1 today but after reading so many installation reviews on various sites, including this one, I am hesitant to install it. I did purchase a 500G Lacie firewire drive only because someone suggested cloning my current drive, just in case. I needed the extra drive anyway. I read up making sure all the permissions are up to date, so I was going to boot to my Tiger disc to make sure everything is fine with the hard drive. I am not sure how to proceed.
    Is there a way to have everything backed-up so that I don't have to reinstall everything over again?
    I don't want to loose my settings either. Someone on one site said boot to Leopard to install, but I don't want to erase my current OS or files. Others say just put the Leopard disc in and go from there. Again, I'm not sure which menu items to activate.
    Any links to step-by-step procedures for upgrading to Leopard would also be appreciated. Then I understand I have to upgrade to 10.5.2 and that may be a problem too.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    1. Prepare your system for backup:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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 installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Prepare your new external hard drive:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
    Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
    3. Create a bootable clone of your system to the external drive:
    How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    If you upgrade to Leopard I suggest you do so using Archive and Install rather than an Upgrade Install:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
    You do not have to update to 10.5.2 immediately unless you want to. Software Update will present you with a number of updates that may be available. However, you can wait on these until you are satisfied everything is working as you'd expect. When you do decide to install the updates just be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions first as a precaution.

  • My Imac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo keeps powering off

    Hi all,
    I have a 20inch 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo (Imac 4.1), Over the last few weeks the Mac would just power off on the odd occasion when using Apeture, I put this down to being the just overworked for processing picture. This seems to have been getting worse and kept occurring more and more often. Light Internet browsing was fine..
    I decided after some time to replace the 2gb memory i had to see if that would fix the issue, this seemed to work for a few days then the same issues returned.
    I now seeing this issue occured just by opening Safari and decided to rebuild the Imac, I completed the Snowleopard install and all seemed ok for a day then it re-occurred again and seemed to be worse, I then removed the 2gb memory and just kept with the 512mb as when bought... Still it keeps powering off. I have moved to different power sockets and still see the same issues.
    Please note in order to power the Imac backup up I have to leave the power out for about 20-30 minutes, If i leave the power plugged in it never boots backup up.
    I now decided to even revert back to Lion OS, but it just powers off during the install...
    I thinking it sounds like a Power supply issue but would like confirmation before I take it to a repair shop..
    cheers
    Dan.

    As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...
    You are now in a perfect position to do a
    SMC RESET

  • IMac Intel Core Duo and ATI Video Drivers

    I was wondering if the latest ATI Catalyst drivers are compatible with the X1600 that comes in the Intel Core DUO iMacs. I wasn't sure if the driver needed to come from apple or not

    Nope. The latest Catalyst drivers 6.X are not compatible with the iMac vid card. You need the driver on the disc that Bootcamp install creates. It's a ver 8.x driver made especially for our Radeon Mobility x1600's.
