I continue to get "Files that iWork needs are missing" in Mountain Lion.
It tells me to use the installer to reinstall iWork.
I have downloaded the 9.2 Update manually, and still the same thing.
I have recently moved and my original iWork disk has gone missing. How else can I fix this?
This issue has been doing my head in... until I found this...

The two .plist downloads on this page... I found the second one (installer) missing from my preferences folder... dropped it in there and Bingo!
hope it works for everybody who has this hassle..

Some files that iWork needs are missing.
I tried updating iWork '08, but the installer failed during the update of Pages. Since then i have been unable to boot any of the iWork apps. Numbers and Pages both gives the same error message: "Some files that iWork needs are missing", it then suggests that i reinstall iWork '08, but when i do that, the same issues still remain. i have tried reinstalling, uninstalling by deleting the app icon and then installing it again, ive also tried uninstalling using appdelete, and then install it again, but the same issue just remains.
Do you know what i can do?
Thanks in advance.Guys
I have the same problem as above.
What happened was that all was fine, then trying to install an add-in for Safari, I hapened to delete the System/Library folder when the GUI went slow on me :-(((
Anyway, couldn't fix or reboot, so ended up reloading the OS from the DVD's.
Once that was done, almost everything was OK, except for Parallels and iWork08, both of which had worked previously.
In the case of iWork08 I've tried all the tips here (delete any file associated with iWork 06/08, fix rights) and even going as far as looking what files the install package says it installs.
Yet, the problem remains.
Like some others, the installer thinks I'm UPGRADING rather than installing fresh.
What other tips can you give, where is the root problem and how do I get around it?
Thanks!

Files that iWork needs are missing
When I open Pages or either of the other 2 apps, I get the error window that says, "Files that iWork needs are missing. To restore the missing files, use the iWork installer to reinstall iWork."
About 2 days after I loaded iWork8, my computer hard drive crashed (would not boot up). I downloaded everything except the System onto an external hard drive, wiped the G5 hard drive, and reinstalled the System. I recopied everything back from the external hard drive, but iWork will not open.
I tried reinstallation, and everything went though the install process, but still it would not open.
Then I did a Spotlight search for anything that said iWork, dumped all of that, did another reinstallation from the disk, and it still gives the same error message.
Now what? I have iWork on my laptop, and I really like it and would really like to have it work on my desk top computer.Dennis,
No doubt it would have been better had I reinstalled iWork from the CD rather than just drag all my applications from my external drive. But all other 74 primary apps (Office as 1 primary app) that I brought in by dragging work just fine. If iWork is going to be this touchy, then Apple should provide an "Uninstall" program as Windows has to do for this very reason -- you can't ever find all the little files that an application uses.
I did as you suggested: searched for iWork, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. I am a university professor and some of these terms generate a lot of files.
For "pages" I got 20 folders, 2 images, 54 presentations, 2 music, 1 application (the one we want to find), 249 PDF documents, 793 HTML files, 994 documents, and 89 "other". Do I just dump the application, or are there "documents" or any other kind of file I need to dig through?
For "keynote" I got: 4 folders (all dealing with keynote speakers), 1 application (the one we want to find), 17 PDF documents, 8 HTML files, 33 documents, and 68 "other". Do I just dump the application, or are there "documents" or any other kind of file I need to dig through?
For "numbers" I got: 0 folders, 531 presentations, 4 application (1 of which is the 1 we want to find), 3 system preferences (none of which seems to be related to iWork), 544 PDF documents, 874 HTML files, 1915 documents, and 20 "other". Do I just dump the application, or are there "documents" or any other kind of file I need to dig through?
I will wait to hear from you before I dump anything. Thanks.

Files that iLife needs are missing Files that iWeb needs are missing
Well, I seem to have a problem that was in other threads, but they really didn't resolve the issue - just got lucky.
When opening either any iWork app or iWeb, I get the following message: "Files that Ilife needs are missing".
This occured after an archive install, but I have removed any file/library remotely connected to IWeb and (several times) reinstalled ILife from the DVD.
I tried the install iWork demo workaround - no luck!
iMovie, iDvd, iTunes all work OK.
What are the critical files in this case?
How do I resolve this?OK, I fixed it
1. Use AppDelete to delete all programs installed by iLife
2. Download iLifeSupport
3. Show Package contents, open "installers" and run each of the installers (5) then run iLifeSupport.dist
4. Reinstall iLife
Did it for me, but it took a while -
"Files that iWorks needs missing" message AND other error msg
Hi-
I had a crash of both my mac (it had to be replace) and the back up system. When I reinstalled iWorks, I still get the message "Files that iWorks needs are missing". When I proceed it launches the application, but when I tried to make some upgrade download, I got the message "The eligible Pages (Numbers, Keynote) application missing from the folder Applications" - it not the case - all three are there - any idea what may be going on there?As far as I know, the described message is not issued by iWork 's installer but by updaters.
You must start with the iWork installer which will install Keynote v4.0, Numbers v1.0, Pages v3,0 in the folder "iWork '08' in the folder "Applications".
It's only after that that you will be able to apply the updaters (those delivered last week).

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.
Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
Advice much appreciated. -
I have files that say they are missing or offline. I have checked all my folders off of lightroom and they can not be found. I have used the ? mark settings to find and still not found. I can see the images on lightroom so they have to be in my system some how. How can I retrieve these images? Is there a re boot for lightroom? Need help ASAP!
You have probably moved the files outside of Lightroom. The images you see in LR are previews that were made before you moved the files.
Do a search for the files/folders using your computers operating system. (Explorer/Finder)
Once you have found them, you can point LR to the right location. -
When I upgraded to Lion, my Parallels stopped working and I got a Bootcamp error message. It had worked fine for the prior year. I upgraded to Parallels 7. No luck. At the Genius Bar, the Genius uninstalled Bootcamp. No luck. I still get "The Boot Camp partition /dev/diskOs4 used by Hard Drive 1 is missing."
Another Genius suggested upgrading to Mountain Lion. While at the Bar, I purchased Mountain Lion and then we paused the install so that I could resume it at home. Once I got home, I can't find the Mountain Lion installer to resume. It's not in the Downloads file. Any clue?
My business programs all run on Windows, so I have to get it operating. The Genius Bar isn't much help. Does anyone know how to get Mountain Lion installed? How to get Parallels working?The "Geniuses" (and I use that word in sarcasm) at the Bar are lying to you. Upgrading from Lion to Mt Lion will not fix whatever problems you are having. In fact it will most likely make them worse.
If you want to try installing Mt Lion to fix the problems you are having you will need to open the Mac App Store link in your Dock, Login to your Apple ID account for the MAS and go to your Purchases area. Mt Lion should be in there and you will be able to do a proper download. Once you either set your Mac into sleep or shut down and then left the internet connection at the Bar all record of that download was lost. So you will need to restart it again from the beginning, like described above.
Good Luck -
I was lately downlaoding a 700mb file, but i lost the internet connection and only 635mb was downloaded and i have the .part file but the download menu says that download failed so i cant click resume, is their any way that i can continue dowlaoding the file without the need redownloading from the beginning?
I do not know if your file can be recovered. But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease. If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio. However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx

I have some old pagemaker files that I need to open so I have bought a G3 on ebay. It turns on OK but all that comes uo on the screen is an envelope with alternating question mark and apple logo. Any ideas?
I suggest you get 9.2. You need to install the same or later version of the OS. One some computer the shipped version has extra drivers. The drivers will not be in the official release in this case 9.1. They would be in 9.2.
Mac OS 9.1 (Mac OS ROM 7.5.1) and Mac OS X 10.0.4 (4P13)
*blinking question mark*
The blinking question mark means that your mac firmware could not find a valid operating system
on one of your disk volumes.
Somethings to do to resolve the blinking question mark.

Try holding down the option key then power on. This brings up the startup manager. Click on your hd. Click on right arrow key.
You need to figure out the level of your firmware before installing 10.2 or greater. ( The PC name for firmware is BIOS. ) Installing 10.2 with a down level firmware will most likely make your iMac unusable and difficult to fix.
What is firmware?
The firmware software receives control when you poweron your machine. It does some hardware testing and some hardware configuration then passes control to your version of Mac OS. It reside on a PROM ( program read only memory ) chip on the logic board.
Figuring out what level of firmware you have?
Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
Power on your iMac while holding down command+option+o+f
The first output line contains the firmware level. Mine reads:
Apple PowerMac4,1 4.1.9f1 BootRom built on 09/14/01 at 13.18.04
Copyright 1994-2001 Apple Computer Inc.
On my machine, I have 4.1.9f1.
What firmware do you need?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
For a slot loading iMac, this article indicates that you need to be running 9.1 or later version of Mac OS Classic.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75130
"The iMac Firmware Update 4.1.9 will only run on iMac computers with lot-loading CD or DVD drives running Mac OS 9.1 or later from a local drive. If you are using Mac OS X you must boot from a local Mac OS 9.1 or later writeable partition (not a CD, or network disk) prior to following the update instructions."
You can download the Mac OS 9 updates from the Apple site.

I have AVI files that I need to convert to MOV files so that I can edit them in Final Cut Pro. I am going to use Quick Time Pro for this....When I have the files open in QT Pro do I have to 'export' it or can I just 'save as', or is there even a difference? Thanks in advance for your help!
I strongly recommend you use compressor to do the conversion (if it will open the files - since quicktime will open them, it will more than likely do it.
Compressor allows you to customize presets and save them and apply them to multiple files. Although the interface may seem daunting, it's actually pretty simple.
Even if you can edit the avi in fcp, it's not a good idea. Liable to cause problems down the road. -

First of all I thought the ipod shuffle had a year warranty like the rest of them. Is that true?
Yes that it is true. The iPod shuffle has the same warranty as every other iPod. See KB 302110, iPod shuffle troubleshooting and service FAQ and www.apple.com/support/products/applecareipod.html -
Keep getting told that Safari needs to be updated
I keep getting told that Safari needs to be updated. When I click on 'update' I get sent to the Safari site to be told how wonderful a browser it is. However there is no link to any download. I'm running Version 10.6.8 operating system with 5.1.10 version of Safari. Any ideas please.
You need to either upgrade the computer's OS or switch to a product such as Firefox.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I can not get several apps to load on my i-pod touch and I even restored it back to factory. The message I get is that I need iOS 4.3, but i-tunes tells me I already have the latest version.
You can't install any application which requires iOS 4.3 or newer on a first or second generation iPod touch. If you still have a copy of that application compatible with iOS 3.1.3 or 4.2.1, import it into the iTunes library and sync it.
