Iwork '08, now missing files?

I just installed Leopard from Tiger and because I purchased iwork '08 online when I had tiger, I had to try to reinstall once in in Leopard. It says I'm missing files and need to reinstall iwork '08. Does anyone know the best way to "reinstall" when you purchased on line? I put in my original serial number when I opened it for the first time after getting into Leopard (with my old pages files missing fonts) - but now it won't even let me in.

Nells,
Having removed everything that Dennis listed as files related to iWork, I still could not install iWork from my CD. So that problem is not solved.
However, after removing everything yet again, I tried downloading the trial version of iWork from the site Dennis listed in an earlier email. From that site, I got the dmg file. I opened it, and installed the trial version, and that worked!
When it opened, I entered my serial number from the CD, and that also worked. Then it asked if I wanted to update iWork, and I hesitantly agreed. That also worked, and I noticed that the updates included iLife Support.
Maybe that is what I was missing? I had loaded iLife at one time, but found it really contained nothing I would be using, so I "dumped it" but probably left residual stuff as I had done with iWork.
I'd like to know how you do with the ToolTech Deluxe. I bought that a year ago, and somehow I managed to dump the BootBlocks from my hard drive (G5 tower). I had to go to a Mac authorized repair shop, and they could only resurrect about 2/3 of my files, and could not repair the hard drive. It was still under warrant, so I got it replaced but still had to pay the labor bill.

  • Removed vista and installed xp now missing files....HELP

    HP Pavilion DV6609mw with Vista home premium pre installed did not like vista so removed it and tried several times to install xp home once I got it installed there are several files missing its not recognizing cd/dvd drive modem ethernet etc unable to connect to internet etc So I tried reinstalling Vista with iso disk using key code on sticker from bottom of notebook but get error saying D:\Sources\Install.wim file is missing Error 0x80070002 (I think). Any help on how to fix this ?

    If you used the recovery discs made on your PC you should not need the key code from the bottom of the notebook. All I acn suggest is to order a new set of recovery discs.
    You can order recovery media here

  • 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.

  • IWork's missing files

    iworks 08, did work. Now it says "....missing files, use the iWork installer..."  Internal disc drive doesn't work, so thought I would just buy 09 from itunes. itunes says no, because iwork is already installed on this computer.  So I bought an external disc drive, but it's not compatable with Mac Book Pro of that year. Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Having a previous version of iWork (no 's') installed won't interfere with installing a newer version. The only problem you may encounter is getting a message that you need a serial number. Getting the request for a serial number means that at some time you had the iWork ’09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user. The easiest way to fix the problem is to use Yvan Koenig's AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his box.com account in for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items > uninstall iWork '09.zip. Download uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
    I haven't tried one of the Apple USB optical disk drives & have no idea why it wouldn't work on an older Mac, but that is Apple. I only have one Mac, a 2011 Mac mini that doesn't have an optical drive. I have 2 or 3 external FireWire optical drives that work on all of my Macs.

  • I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open

    I downloaded some videos to Premier Elements 13 from an external hard drive but now the external hard drive is damaged. While setting up my new MAC the external hard drive was dropped and I have been told by an outside source they could not retrieve the files.  It had 4 years of photos and videos on it. I remembered that I had downloaded some of the videos from the external hard drive (before it was broke) to Adobe Organizer 13 when I installed the Adobe 13 on my MACOS X 10.9.5.  I tried to open the videos on the organizer which it shows the video but with a yellow ? and says missing file. Is there anyway I can open these videos?
    Any input is greatly appreciated!! I am sick over losing the videos and had a little hope on Adobe Organizer until I was unable to open them.  I am thinking it is due to my external hard drive not being plugged in. I thought when I transferred from the external hard drive to Adobe 13 that it would be there without the external hard drive needing to be attached but maybe I did something wrong.
    Thanks again for any help!!!!

    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

    I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!  Help!

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

  • I just loaded the newest version of iTunes.  Now iTunes will not load dur to missing files.

    I just loaded the newest version of iTunes on a pc with WindowsXP.  As soon as I attempted to open iTunes, I received a message that it could not open due to missing files.  This is the second upgrade in a row that this has happened to me.  What is going on? 

    I'd try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select iTunes, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Does your iTunes start launching again?

  • Projects created in IDVD 5 now complains of missing files in IDVD 6

    Hi,
    I just installed ILife 06. Now when i try to open dvd projects created in IDVD5 it now complains of missing files. It can no longer find photos for the slideshows i have created.

    Have you run the new iPhoto? Did it "upgrade" your library when you opened it?
    the iLife apps are linked, and it is best to open them in the following order:
    iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD.
    and you might check this too:

  • 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!

    What can i do ?

    do you happen to know if there is a way to do this with a flash drive to avoid buying a new external dvd burner for the newer macks a lot of us have? 

  • I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP.  When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened.  I still get the missing files image.

    I moved my FCP events and projects folder onto my external hard drive and now everything is gone on FCP.  When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened.  I still get the missing files image.  When I try to import the folders manually something pops up that says it is incompatable.  It is possible to retrieve everything that was lost?

    "When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
    Brownale6 how can  u reload folder in to FCP.
    As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
    For Event
    external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.  
    For project
    external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

    I am working on a PC.  My InDesign CS6 was working but is now missing its amtlib.dll file.  To fix it it says to reinstall program but I was am idiot and didn't make a copy.  Is there any way to reinstall this missing file?

    It was bought for my son and he never registered it. 
    I still don't understand why Neema was trying to reinstall it when she didn't have the serial number but after she uninstalled it, said she couldn't reinstall it because I didn't have the serial number.  I never had it yet she didn't have a problem with trying to install it originally.
    Still won't buy another Adobe product again.  I've talked to a lot of people who can't stand Adobe and I now know why.  I can't even update Flash without my whole system crashing or getting a virus.
    I won't re-purchase InDesign either.  I realize it should have been registered and I explained that my email had been hacked and my proof of purchase was deleted with ALL of my emails and I also had a major virus after updating Flash.
    I can't afford to buy the same product twice.
    I will find out what other formats my book distributor (Ingram Books) accepts and purchase that program.
    Not impressed with Adobe and will share my experience with others so they can be sure to register their product and make a copy of the program BEFORE allowing an Adobe employee to take control of their computers.
    If you knew the answer to my question, customer support should have too.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I moved some audio and video on my pc and now the organizer on premiere 9 has missing files

    If I try do delete them or do anything with them the program locks and has to be forced down. I have reloaded the software several times but it still looks for the missing files when a new project is started. I have a top of the line pc I7 with 12 mem. so that is not the problem. I cant find the folder that the program is using to tell premiere to keep looking for these files so i can delete it. I cant even do anything in the program with out lock ups due to these missing files. NOTE when i say oganizer I am talking about the place in premiere 9 that shows avalible files to use not the one you can start seperate of premiere

    Normally you would get an option to "locate" the missing files by navigating to the new locations and clicking on the missing files, one by one.. so if you're not getting that, it sounds like an installation or corrupt file issue... just my two cents worth...

Maybe you are looking for
