HELP!!! accidently removed staroffice 8 and now cant reinstall

I probably did the stupidest thing imaginable. At the time i didn't realize i was in the directory /opt/ which is where i installed solaris. I believed that i was working in the directory /home/meticulo/opt but i was wrong. I ran the command rm -Rf *. This obviously deleted all of my files in the directory /opt , including staroffice. Now i need to reinstall it again, the program cannot install since i deleted the files but did not remove using the staroffice uninstaller (not that i wanted to uninstall it anyway). So someone please help me fix my stupid mistake.

Would like to down load an up date for star office 6 and or purchase disc,

  • Help did 9.1 update and now cant find where my screen  savers

    hi i just updated my system to 9.1 and now i cant find the screen savers there is no screen saver control panel .looked every where i u can help me i would be indebted to u i am a newbie been using windows for ten year im in lov e with this mac !!!!!

    Hi, alottab -
    i beilive it has a folder named previos system
    That would indicate that you did perform a Clean Install.
    The result of a Clean Install is that you get a brand new, "clean" System Folder of the new OS, and the old one is renamed to "Previous System Folder". The "Previous" one contains all the items that had been in the OS before the update; the new one does not.
    Your screensaver software should be in the Previous System Folder. None of its files are accessed by the new OS, which is why you would not have access to the control panel for that screensaver software. In order to use the old items in the new OS, you would need to move the software from the Previous System Folder to the appropriate locations in the new one.
    Notes -
    1) Do not replace any of the OS 9 software with items from the Previous System Folder. Older third-party (non-Apple) software items may or may not work in OS 9, but be sure to not replace any OS 9 system software items with ones from OS 8.
    2) Some OS 8 software will not work in OS 9. In particular, this includes some screensaver software such as After Dark. As Kenichi Watanabew pointed out, there is no native (built-in) screensaver software for OS 9 and earlier; all such is third-party software.
    <hr>
    There are some screensavers available which will work in OS 9; some are free, some are not. Here are some sources -
    Screen Gear - Screen Saver, Image Displayer
    MacScreenSavers.com - Free screen savers
    VersionTracker: Screen Savers
    Free Macintosh: Apple Screen Savers
    Pure Mac: Screen Savers
    Filedudes
    Tucows Macintosh
    Be sure to read the description of any of those you are interested in to be sure they will work in OS 9.
    Screensaver programs can be useful and even fun, but they are not necessary. In OS 9 you can use the Energy Saver control panel to auto-sleep the machine and monitor after a delay of your choosing. I set mine to sleep only the monitor, and not the machine - wakeup is near instantaneous.

  • HT201274 I updatede my iPad to iOS7 and now cant hook up to wifi.........tried a lot of stuff, help

    I updated my iPad to iOS7 and now cant hook up to wifi......help    I have tried a lot of different way and no luck.

    Hello RMpad,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like after updating to iOS 7 you are unable to join any wifi network.
    I want to recommend these parts of the article named:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
    Tap and Forget this Network.
    Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
    Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would next recommend either of these 2 parts down toward the bottom depending on the symptoms you are seeing.
    Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
    Unable to connect to a Wi-Fi network

    I changed a few settings on my iPad and now cant get the iPad to shut off with the shutoff button and the button to get to all the icons won't let me get back to settings to change the settings back.  Can anyone help?

    Have you tried resetting your iPad?
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

  • I updated to ios7 on my iphone 4 and now cant install apps and one app says waiting for 2 days now. Also it started ading apps from my wife's phone onto my phone even though we have separate apple ids.

    I updated to ios7 on my iphone 4 and now cant install apps and one app says waiting for 2 days now. Also it started ading apps from my wife's phone onto my phone even though we have separate apple ids.

    We do not share an apple ID and her phone is now logged in with her account and I have since backed it up on itunes under her account as well. I have turned off automatic downloads on her phone but they still keep downloading. I delete one app and then another one just appears on the phone.

    Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
    If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

  • My iphone has synced with a later date than photos taken and now cant get resent photos back?

    my iphone has synced with a later date than photos taken and now cant get photos recently taken same with messages :-(

    iDevices do not sync with a date... they sync with the computer.
    If the user has restored the device using an older backup, simply restore it with a more current backup.

  • Hi, I've got no music or videos on my ipad and itunes advise that I have 23gb of 'other' material therefore the sync is unable to perform. I was forced to perform a restore earlier and now cant see the videos/music so want to replace. Pls assist, thanks

    Hi, I'm unable to see if I have any music/videos/photos on my ipad and itunes advise that I have 23gb of 'other' material therefore the sync is unable to perform when  transfering music/videos to the ipad.

    23 GB  of other indicates a corrupt file(s).  A restore should resolve.
