Error message Main Spell is not installed

Error message.....................
"The Main Spell Dictionary is not installed."
This happens when using:
AppleWorks 6.0 through 6.1.2
The AppleWorks application has been moved from its original folder and now cannot find the Main Spell Dictionary file. Follow these steps to resolve the situation:
1. Quit AppleWorks.
2. Move the AppleWorks application program icon back to the AppleWorks 6 folder that was created by the installer.
3. Open AppleWorks.
*I tried the above solution and still get the same error message*

If you're using any version of AppleWorks before 6.2, you're running the OS 8/9 version. OS X support wasn't added until 6.2. The best versions for use in OS X are 6.2.4 or 6.2.9. Since AppleWorks was designated "end-of-life" it is difficult to find the updaters (especially the US/North American) on Apple's site. Here is the page with the links I have for the 6.2.9 updater. The page has a link to the North American updater in the upper right (the blue 15.8 MB) & links to other languages further down.
AppleWorks 6.2.9 for Mac
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them.

ITunes stopped working on Windows 8. Error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly.

I have Windows 8. Originally iTunes worked fine, then it couldn't update (said it was unsuccessful). Then it stopped working, so I (after much research) tried a long and tiresome method of removing all Apple products and re-installing them. I did this 3 times and it eventually worked and has been working fine for a few months. Recently, when trying to update, it has said "update successful", but when checking for new updates, finds the same one it supposedly just installed, wanting to install it again. For a few weeks now it has not worked at all, saying "error message 7: iTunes was not installed correctly" when I attempt to open iTunes. I can't bring myself to go through the whole process again of uninstalling and reinstalling everything, it took hours and it clearly doesn't solve the problem. I have no idea what the problem is. Reinstalling only iTunes doesn't work. The support pages have no advice available for my crappy version of Windows.
Please help me!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
It shouldn't really take that long to do, assuming it goes smoothly.

Error message "auto duplexer is not installed" after a paper jam was removed on my epson artisan 837.

I print from a Macbook Pro (April '09) OSX 10.9.3 to an Epson Artisan 837 duplex all-in-one which has been functioning perfectly for some time. The other day while duplex printing I got a vague error message to the effect "printer error, turn off machine and power back on." I repeated that process several times waiting a period of time and/or doing it speedily. I even unplugged the printer from its outlet, turned off the computer, waited overnight and tried again, all to no avail. I then found the back tray had a paper jam which I removed and replaced the tray. Since this ordeal I have NOT been able to use the duplex function. After apple's air-print, an Epson Customer Service person told me to add a printer in Systems, printer preferences and to simply add in the same printer (only one i have) but choose not to have it be air-print. This worked even though it gave me Epson Artisan 837 and Epson Artisan 837II (the first with air-print the second not). I must be missing some step this time, however, because although I now have essentially 2 printer choices, the Epson II has duplex printing choices grayed out and gives me the error message "auto duplexer is not installed." Sorry to make this so long, but can anyone help me with this problem?

Thank you. Those are beautifully written procedures.
Looks like it's a network issue. I reach the step, "Adding a printer using the wizard":
You must enter the following URL, you must use the Queue Name you noted down earlier
http://<IP address of Mac>:631/printers/Queue Name
which I do, entering
http://192.168.0.4:631/printers/MP830
and I get the following error:
"Could not connect to the printer. You either entered a printer name that was incorrect or the specified printer is no longer connected to the server."
And then I am toast!
Using the other procedure, I simply don't see the Mac's printers in the Bonjour Wizard's "Browse for Bonjour Printers" window.
Not sure where to go from here -- any ideas?
The Mac's IP (set via DHCP) is 192.168.0.4, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The PC is 192.168.0.5, I can't find the subnet mask.
Pretty sure it's a network config issue, especially isnce I can Bonjour to my other Mac.
TIA...

I updated my itunes the other day and now it won't open I get error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found" When I close that window I get message stating Itunes was not installed correctly Error 7 Windows error 126. My PC is a Acer and I'm running Windows Visa. I tried to uninstall Itunes and reinstall it and get same message. Can anyone help.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

What is error message "required codec is not installed"

I installed my Adobe Primier Software on my new computer and when I try to open projects from my old computer I get an error message "This file not supported or the required codec is not loaded"

I'll have to take a look at the project settings, but the sung I was trying to install with my pictures was purchased off itunes.
Now I have another problem with my DVD's I bought and All-In-One Hp computer. It is one of the best. I love it. Here is My problem with burning a dvd. I go though the process on Adobe Premier Elements and everything seems to go fine. The burned DVD plays fine on the computer, but doesn't play on my home DVD player. The home DVD player is a current model from Toshiba and the latest technology. When I put the DVD in the Toshiba player it just keeps trying to load with no success. I did not record in Blue Ray, just used standard format. I tried it several times with the same results. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Having problems launching iTunes on my pc. Had iTunes on this particular pc for over a year. Have downloaded all of the new updated versions. Now I get an error message saying "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall." I have backed up the pc to an earlier date when when the program was working, and also performed serveral system diagnosis all saying the program is incompatible. Searched for several compatible programs, none worked. All this happened several days after visiting iTunes. I'm afraid that if I reinstall iTunes that I will loose everything and have to start all over. Eventhough everything is saved in an iCloud account and this particular pc. Never had a problem till now. Appreciate any help. Thank you, cld

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Im trying to install Adobe Premiere Elements on Window 8. The Windows Installer is not working.. some window pops up with an error message and it does not install

I get the following window pop up after trying to install Adobe Premiere Elements. After it prompts me to select the language i get this:

I think I figued it out... But why installations instructions didn't come up when I inserted the disk was very annoying. And because they didn't, Adobe should post th installations instructions somewhere on their support site. Not here now, which is also annoying.

Help. When I try to install the latest iTunes onto my computer I get the following error message :- iTunes helper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7. How do I clear this error message so I can install iTunes. Kirsten.

Plese see above.

"main dictionary is not installed"

Hello AppleWorkers,
I copied AppleWorks from our flat panel to a new MacBook. It works perfectly in all regards so far as we can tell, except for SpellCheck. When we click on the SpellCheck button, it gives the message "main dictionary is not installed". Assuming the main dictionary exists on my flat panel, where is it, and, can I copy it over to the MacBook, and if so, where do I put it? Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,
When you moved AW over to the MacBook, did you copy the entire AppleWorks 6 folder (and contents) or just the AppleWorks 6 application?
It's necessary to bring the whole folder over.
If you've done that, you'll find the dictionaries in the AppleWorks 6 folder at
AppleWorks 6 > AppleWorks Essentials > Dictionaries.
To install, open any AppleWorks document then go:
Edit > Writing tools > Select Dictionaries..., select "Main Dictionary" then click Choose.
AppleWorks will take you to the correct folder, and will highlight the available "Main" dictionaries.
Repeat for each of the other dictionary types.
Regards,
Barry
PS: The normal AppleWorks Software User agreement licence covers only a single installation on a single computer at any given time. To stay within terms of that licence AW should be removed from the 'old'machine when it is copied over to the 'new' one.
