Installed iwork, and everything is purple, or invisible. Help!

I installed iwork' 08 on my new macbook, and its useless. Everything is purple, or invisible. I have it installed on my mac mini, and it works fine. What gives? I've tried to reinstall, and still no luck. I'm guessing it's some kind of security issue.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
If you're really using 10.5.2 as your profile says, run Software Update & update to the latest version of Leopard, 10.5.8. If you're using Snow Leopard, use the Mac OS 10.6.2 combo update. This fixes a problem with the Hoefler Text font that is not fixed using the delta update (10.6.1 > 10.6.2).
Second, make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.3 & Numbers 2.0.3. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

BEFORE INSTALLING OSX Mavericks, do I have to create a back up of all the contents on my Mac book pro or i just have to install it and everything stays without getting deleted.

before installing osx mavericks, do i have to create a back up of all the stuff that i have on my mac book pro or can i just click install and everything stays without getting deleted.

Never Ever do anything with an operating System without backing up first.
While it is usual for a new OS to install with no loss of data, the time you do it without first backing up will most likely be the time that you wish you had backed up.
In all of the updates and upgrades Apple distributes there is a recommendation to backup your data before installing.
The easiest option is to get an external hdd if you do not already have one, plug it into the mac and follow the prompts to use the drive for Time Machine. Note that any data existing on the external hdd will be erased so use a new one or one that you are confident is ok to erase without a disaster ensuing.
Also ensure that System Preferences -> Energy Saver has been set so the Computer Sleep is Never so that the backup will not be interrupted if this is the first backup or it is a long time since the last backup was done.

Youtube has a left side [split window] open on the same video for months. I can't close it and it plays the same song over and over again when I open firefox. I've uninstalled and re-installed firefox and checked all settings with no help

those are all of the details.

I know the Firefox developers had good reasons for introducing this feature, but they failed to consider their users who are web developers.
I've installed a web server on my computer to help with web design, and I access the homepage through http://localhost
However this won't work in offline mode, and (with my dial-up connection and all) it's not practical to always dial in to my ISP just to have Firefox start in online mode, plus I don't need to be *actually/literally* online to access my local web server. And the extra clicks to File -> Work Offline are a pain.
The best option IMHO would be to provide a pain-free way to disable this setting for advanced users. Emphasis on *pain-free*.
My 2 cents, for myself and (hopefully) on behalf of the poor, forgotten web designers out there.

Guess you have to do Uninstall and Re-install of iTunes from scratch.
Try the following steps:
1. Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
Be aware that Windows Installer CleanUp Utility will not remove the actual program from your computer. However, it will remove the installation files so that you can start the installation, upgrade, or uninstall over.
2. You should remove all instances of iTunes and the rest of the components listed below:
it may be necessary to remove all traces of iTunes, QuickTime, and related software components from your computer before reinstalling iTunes.
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order:
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Follow the instructions from Apple article listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 to remove all components
3. Reboot your computer. Next, download iTunes from here:http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and install from scratch

Hello Princess Lynne Anne,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
First I recommend taking a look at this article named iTunes: Music purchased from iTunes Store cannot be burned to MP3 format CD found http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1476.
Songs purchased from the iTunes Store may either be in AAC format or AAC Protected format depending on when they were purchased (older songs used AAC Protected format). You can convert AAC songs to MP3 format allowing them to be burned to an MP3 format CD, however AAC Protected songs can not be converted. You can, however, back them up to a data CD or DVD, or you can burn them to an audio CD (which can be played in a CD player).
And if your issue still persists after converting any of these purchases, then I would recommend this part of the article named Disc Burning Quick Assist found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1152#learn2:
Top troubleshooting tips
In addition to the following tips, check out these articles:
Solving problems with burning discs
If the disc burning options are dimmed or unavailable
If a burn does not succeed, check the disc or try another disc
Eject the disc from the drive and inspect it to see if the surface is dirty or scratched, or if it already has data written on it (the shiny surface is slightly darker where data has already been burned). If it's dirty, wipe it clean with a soft, damp cloth and try burning again. If the disc already contains data, try another disc. If you're using a rewritable disc that already contains data, be sure to erase it before burning data on it again. Small flaws or surface inconsistencies can cause an unsuccessful burn. Try burning your content to another disc or try a different brand of disc (if possible).
Make sure that your optical drive can record discs
If your drive is built into your Mac, make sure that you have at least a Combo Drive if you want to burn a CD or a SuperDrive if you're trying to burn a DVD (or CD). Consult your Mac manual or your third-party manufacturer's disc drive manual for more information.
Check the disc type
Make sure that your disc drive is capable of writing to your media at hand. For example, you won't be able to burn a DVD+RW disc with an older Apple SuperDrive. Consult your Apple or third-party product manual for your drive's supported media specifications. You should also use discs that are rated for the burn speed of your drive.
Slow things down
In the Burn dialog, specify a burn speed that is slower than the maximum speed rating for your disc drive (if you can) and try burning another disc.
Free up some memory
If you've got other applications open, quit the ones that you're not using (or quit them all except for the one from which you're burning your disc). Allow the disc to burn before doing other things on your computer.
Check your hard drive's available space
When you burn a disc, your Mac temporarily sets aside an amount of hard disk space equal to the amount of data being burned to the disc. If you're burning a large amount of data, you may run out of room on your hard disk if it's almost full, which may prevent a disc from burning. To free up space, throw out unwanted files or back up files to an external drive.
Restart your computer
Sometimes a simple restart can resolve issues. Once you've restarted your Mac, try burning another disc again.
Update your software
Use Software Update (from the Apple menu, choose Software Update) to check for, download, and install the latest versions of your Apple software. If you're using a third-party burner, visit the manufacturer's website for the latest software updates for your model.
Check your connections
If you're using an external disc writer, make sure that all of your cable connections are secure and that the optical drive is powered on.
Cheers,
Sterling

HT6114 I installed Mavericks and now safari wont work. Help!

I gleefully installed Mavericks thinking I was doing the right thing. After an hour of figuring out that I had internet connectivity but Safari wasnt working I spent several more hours trying to figure out what to do . I did not back up the system before I upgraded (brillinat decision on my part) but now I am stuck. Do I just use Firefox or chrome which dont seeem to have problems and wait until Apple comes out with a fix or???? I thought getting an Apple was supposed to avoid this kind of issue.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I have Photoshop Elements 9, just installed Lr and can't view RAW images. help please?

I have Photoshop Elements 9 and I can't view my RAW images. How can I view them?

you can update your pse 9 and hope for the best, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ and you can always use dng converter.
or specify your camera so we can determine whether that will help and if you need a dng converter link, indicate your os.

I force quitted my address book and everything in it disappeared. Help!

It was not backed up and I had hundreds of customer email addresses in there. A major loss. I would be very grateful for any help.
There is nothing in the address book and nothing comes up when I type in names in the the 'To' column.

Hello, and also welcome to the Discussions.
To supplement Austin's excellent response, in the Finder, open Home/Library/Application Support and look for a folder named AddressBook -- do you find it? Within are other folders and files, including AddressBook.data, AddressBook.data.beforesave and AddressBook.data.previous.
One of the latter two, should contain what you need, if the first one in incomplete, or newly created. Delete AddressBook.data, and rename a copy of one of the latter two, to be simply the same name.
In the application AB, the same could result from File/Revert to Addressbook Backup, but save a copy of the AddressBook folder before trying.

My mac book froze. I restarted with no success. I put in the install disk and its still frozen. Please help!

Please help. I don't want to pay to at store when the tech guy over the phone said it sounded like an easy fix. Never had a problem with this computer before. Hope someone can help!

If the disk hardware is working properly but the directory on it is very badly scrambled, it might take as much as an hour, though less than half that amount of time is more common. But if the disk hardware is failing, Disk Utility won't be able to repair it at all, and it may keep trying for a very long time (hours) before giving up.

Installed Xcodes and now all "Help" topics blank.

In an attempt to play "Myst Online - Uru Live" I followed instructions to install Xcodes from my original install disks. I now have the following problems:
I can't eject the install disk.
All help topics present with blank pages.
Safari will open but also presents with blank pages.
I am currently using the Firefox browser to send this question.
I am not a developer but merely an apple user who is now very much out of his depth.
If it helps, as part of the overall process I also firstly downloaded something called Macports (I think!). The instructions also mentioned something about entering the Terminal and typing a couple of lines of code, but I haven't got to this stage yet. In trying to install Macports after download, I get this message "Either uname or sed could not be found in PATH. Your system appears to be incomplete or misconfigured."
I am running an iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 duo. OS 10.6.8

If I'm allowed to reply to my own question, I restarted the computer (which I now realise is the Snow Leopard OS and not Leopard) and everything is now OK with Help and Safari. I also downloaded the wrong version of Macports, which I have now corrected.
However, as part of my quest to play "Myst Online" I have to open Terminal and type in "sudo port install mystonline-cider", after which I will be asked for my password. The trouble is, after I type in the command and press return, my password is requested, but the keyboard freezes, so I can't type in anything else.

Installed Iworks but templates in pages body of documents is in a language other than english which I chose at installation prompt

I installed iworks and ipages templates are in a different language than english which I selected on install

I guess that you are the 100th user asking about that.
The text displayed in the placeholders is a Latin one but it seems that many US citizen ignore that Latin is the basis of many languages.
This text was choose because it give a good 'level of gray' in the blocks in which it is used.
I really don't understand what is boring you with this reminder of one of the origins of our civilizations.
It's just a temporary filler.
If you open a doc using it, I guess that it's not to lease the filler in the placeholders but that you will replace it by your own text.
If you want more details, search for "lorem ipsum" in Google.

SQL Server 2012 Installed KB2793634 and it completed successfully but display error in the event log

Hi
Running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows 7 x64 SP1
One of the machines that this is installed displayed that the Windows Installer was starting repeatedly, like every 30 secs
I installed KB2793634 and everything completed successfully. No errors in any of the Summary, Detail, etc and all check marks at the end. I went throught the event viewer and in the application log and saw the following
Product: SQL Server 2012 Database Engine Services - Update '{4023B523-7241-4B6D-83A4-92105B0A3DC8}' could not be installed. Error code 1642. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the
following link for instructions on turning on logging support:
Is this something with the KB. How do I find what the issue is and what do I do to fix it? Or is this a real error?
I brought up SQL Server and the issue that the KB resolves seems to been resolved. I can connect to the instance just fine, the version of the KB has been applied to the instance so now it is at 11.0.3128
Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
According to the description, I know the patch that was successfully installed after the msiinstaller error.
1. Per
KB304888 and mentioned the possibility that the hotfix was launched a second time after the initial successful update.
I suspect if you have installed any hotfixes or Cumulative updates after installing Service Pack 1 for SQL Server 2012.
Reference:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793634
2. Check the application log. Is the error happening intermittently?
Thanks.

Unable to install Iworks 05

I am attempting to install Iworks and can't get past the install type page. When I click continue it states that there is nothing to install and the installation can't continue. I have scouted the page and have not found anything to let me choose what I want to instal. During the initial screens it says "Easy Install" and advice

I had the same problem but I ended up finding a demo of iWorks in the Applications folder (which I didn't see the first time...). Do a search for Pages or Keynote.
Also, check out some problems pointed out in
Peggy, "iWork serial number tip", 11:33pm Feb 16, 2005 CDT
Specially the upgrading of your demo version, otherwise the serial number will not go in.

Installed iwork, and everything is purple, or invisible. Help!
