Can AppleWorks from my '05 G5 be installed in my new iMac?

When I purchased my g5 in 2005, appleworks came standard. yesterday, I purchased a new iMac and now appleworks (along with spreadsheet and something else i'll never use) cost $70 or $80, so I was hoping that I may be able to install the appleworks from my 05 G5. is this possible?
thanks in advance,
Jeremiah

In the original Appleworks 6 install log on the G5, the installer created a number of folders in the System folder as well as the Appleworks 6 folder in /Applications. Those folders contain Help files, fonts, MacLink Plus translators, etc. When you say "Any AppleWorks associated files that are required by the application will be created as they are needed, and should NOT be transferred," are these the files you refer to?
The key phrase there is "required by the application".
In the "System Folder"
I do see an AppleWorks folder in my Application Support folder.
It contains many of the items you mention.
and a Claris folder containing the older XTND translators and some other files,
And an AppleWorks folder in the Preferences folder.
This is the Mac OS 9 System Folder, and the enclosed files are not required by AppleWorks running in OS X. (And running in OS 9 requires Classic, which is not supported on intel based Macs.)
It MAY be useful to move fonts and the translators to the new machine, and I doubt that doing so will do harm, but I can't make a recommendation either way.
In the "System" folder, which belongs to OS X, I don't see any of these items.
Alternatively, should I just use the original Appleworks CD and the 6.2.9 updater (thanks for the link!) to do a clean install of Appleworks on the 10.6 iMac? I know it will need Rosetta to run. I figure I could then move my custom Appleworks templates into the new Starting Points folder.
Installation from your original AW (retail box) CD will either work or return a "not supported on this architecture" or similar message. The message, if returned refers to the installer on the disk, not to AppleWorks 6.2.x.

  • Adobe errors: upgrade sw from 5.5 to 6 + install 6 on new iMac - serial number 'errors'

    Hello- I had 5,5 Design Stardard. I upgraded to 6. Design Standard last year.
    I tried to update my MacPro laptop and I encounter errors with my serial number. I did change the HD name on the Laptop.
    I also just got a new iMac and I moved the 6.0 version over to it - no go. HELP FAST! please.... Adobe support s**ks
    Thank you

    did you deactivate whatever you want to install no that was installed on your previous hd?
    if not, you'll probably need an activation count reset, http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html
    next, is your design standard cs6 license an upgrade?  if yes and you do not have design standard cs5.5 installed on your new hd/imac, you'll need to supply both (cs5.5 and cs6) serial numbers when installing the cs6 upgrade.  you'll need to give the correct number at the correct time.

    If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, sign in with the Apple ID used to buy it, click on the Purchases tab, and download it from there.
    If you purchased it from the iTunes App Store, you can't without getting the Mac OS X version.

  • Can I use my Photoshop CS5 for Windows on my new iMac computer

    I have a genuine Photoshop CS5 I bought for my old, not used,Windows7 64bit computer. Can aI get a transfer of my CS5 onto my new iMac computer.

    License transfers are only possible for current versions. Refer to this:
    Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap
    As a stopgap measure, you could install your Win 7 via Bootcamp and still use your PS on the Windows side...

  • Iphoto never came installed in my new iMac bought in Dec. (newest version) WHY???

    iphoto never came installed in my new iMac bought in Dec. (newest version) WHY??? How do I get it?

    It did come pre-installed, have you looked in the Applicaitons folder and have you checked Trash to see if you (or some other user on your computer) threw it in there? If it's still not there, then restart in the Recovery Partition on your iMac (hold down the Option key when you hear the startup tone) and choose re-install OS X.

  • How can I get themes from older version of iDVD installed on my new machine?

    I recently tried to open an iDVD project that I haven't opened in years. I got the following error Message:
    "The Project you chose uses a theme that is not installed. You must install the theme before continuing."
    I clicked OK and then a menu popped up saying that I could download the theme(s) via Software Update. So I selected Download now. Software update opened and said it was checking for updates. Then after it was finished it said there was no new software for my computer and closed.
    The Project was created using iDVD 4.0.1 on a PowerMac G4 and now I'm trying to open it using iDVD 7.0.4 on an intel iMac . Any help about how to get the correct themes installed would be appreciated. Thanks.

    The only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    The iLife 11 disc only provides the themes from iDVD 5 - 7.  None of the updaters available from the Apple Download site contain the earlier themes

  • I can't get Creative Cloud Desktop installed on my new iMac

    I bought a new iMac. It's running Mac OS X 10.9.2.
    1. I backed up everything on the old mac.
    2. I uninstalled all Adobe Creative Cloud apps on the old mac.
    3. I used Apple Migration Assistant to transfer all data from the old mac to the new mac.
    4. I downloaded and installed Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop on the new mac.
    5. I clicked on the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop icon at the top of the screen. (upper right)
    6. A window popped open, save "Creative Cloud" written on a black ground, then were nothing in the window. The window is blank. I wasn't asked to accept the terms of use. There is no "home", "apps", "files", "fonts" "behance" options. There's nothing.
    Everything other time I've installed Creative Cloud Desktop, the first question is to accept the terms of use. In this case, there was nothing - just an empty window. Also, the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop icon at the top of the screen is light grey. It turns black after the user accepts the terms of use. The icon at the top of my screen is always light grey.
    What can I do to fix this?

    Ok, got it. What did I do?
    # Uninstall Adobe Cloud Application
    # Delete the folders
    - Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    - Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater
    - Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterInventory
    - Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE
    # started Photoshop, an error comes up and I reinstalled the Adobe Application Manager
    # installed the Adobe Cloud Application
    # restarted the mac

  • I own PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro.  Can I use the disc to install it on new iMac?

    Have PSE 10 installed on my MacBook Pro.  Can I use the discs to install it on my new iMac?  also considering PSE 11 and Lightroom 4. Comments?

    Yes you can install it on your new Macintosh.  If it does not have an optical drive then you can copy the contents of the installation media to a USB drive and then install the software from there.

  • Installing CS6 onto new imac from upgrades

    Hi
    I am wanting to install CS6 onto a new imac via the cloud. The CS6 I have is in disc format and is an upgrade from CS65.5.
    CS5.5 is also an upgrade from CS4.
    How do I install CS6 onto a new imac when I cant get install the original due to no CD drive?  Going mad!!

    Hi DonnaOxon,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums!
    Even if you have the CD version of CS6 you can  still download and install CS6 from the cloud. During the installation it will first ask you to enter the serial number for CS6 and on the next step it will automatically ask you to enter the serial number for CS5.5.
    The product will be licensed and installed once you enter these serial numbers correctly.
    Thanks

  • Making a bootable copy of Lion from pre-installed OS on new iMac

    How do I make a bootable copy of Lion from a new iMac that had Lion pre-nstalled at purchase? I would like to create a back up copy on an external drive for 2 reasons. First, I want to have an external copy in case there is an issue on the iMac in the future. Second, I would like to upgrade my Mac Book Pro which is currently running 10.5.8 to Lion. I do not want to purchase a flash drive copy of Lion from Apple after spending the money to buy a new iMac.
    I could use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable copy of my iMac, and afterwards install the copy on the Mac Book Pro. This would take much more time, and I still wouldn't have a back up copy of Lion on an external drive.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance.
    Charlie

    FWIW,  you need both Snow Leopard ($20 USD) and Lion ($30 USD) to upgrade the MBP. Both are only available from Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. Snow Leopard comes on a DVD, but for Lion, you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL it from the Mac Apple Store after installing SL and updating to 10.6.6+.  If you're outside the US, then try the appropriate international number.
    If you go that route, quit the installer after it DLs and save a copy to a safe place, since the ill-designed installer deletes itself during the installation process, necessitating wasting resources if you need to reinstall or restore. With a saved copy, you can reinstall w/o wasting any time, bandwidth, or electricity. The Lion installer is 3.6+ GB, which takes over an hour to DL with a high-speed connection at 10 Mbps.

  • I need to delete Creative Cloud software from my PC and install on a new iMac.  What do I do first?

    I have had a Creative Cloud membership for several years and have installed all the related software on my PC.  I recently purchased an iMac and will be decomissioning my old PC.  What steps do I need to take to deactivate and unistall the software on the PC so I can install on the iMac?  I will be wiping the C drive in the old PC when I have moved everything I need to the Mac.
    Also, I will be installing Parallels on my iMac and installing Windows 7 Ultimate as well, so the I can install Windows only programs I use that are not available for the Mac.  Are there any Windows versions of the Adope Create Cloud software that don't have a Mac equivalent?  Does it matter if I use virtual vs. bootcamp?
    Thanks!
