IWorks missing after reinstall of operating system.

Replaced hard drive and reinstalled operating system.  iWorks does not appear in Applications folder.  I came preloaded on my MacBook Pro. How do I reinstall it?

If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, install it from the computer's original disks or an iWork DVD.
If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID associated with them, click on the Purchases tab, and download them.

    Hello,
    That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
    See if DU even sees it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard on both of my computers.
    Some time ago, one crashed my computer and I had to reinstall the operating system and all applications.
    After I had installed once Acrobat 9 Sdt in the computer, I wanted to update the software version 9.0.0 update to the same level as it was before the crash and that the other computer has version named 9.5.5.
    The system for update from version 9.0.0 does not work at all. "There are no updates" listed in the dialog.
    Can you advise how I get my Adobo Acrobat 9 Standard (Version 9.0.0) could be updated to the same level as the computer had before the crash.

  • How do I reinstall my operating system after hard drive upgrade on MacBook pro?  I have Snow Leopard install disc

    How do I reinstall my operating system (Snow Leopard) after a hard drive upgrade. I did a Time Machine backup before the new hard drive was installed. I put in the Snow Leopard install disc and don't get the icon I'm supposed to double click to install Snow Leopard and then the backup.
    HELP PLEASE!!

    Is the new HHD in the MBP?
    Is the new HDD formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
    Where is the old HDD? In an enclosure?  What is on the old HDD, your user data?  Is the Snow Leopard System on it?
    Do you have a separate Time Machine Disk with your user data?
    Answers to these questions should give an exact status of your situation so that one can proceed in the right direction.
    Ciao.

  • My ical is not populating after i reinstalled my operating system - my Outlook 2011 is ok but I now want to sink my iphone 4 with my outlook and i presume i need ical to be populated for this

    My ical is not populating after i reinstalled my operating system - my Outlook 2011 is ok but I now want to sink my iphone 4 with my outlook and i presume i need ical to be populated for this

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

  • How do I reinstall my operating system and keep my data?

    I recently installed a new time capsule and created a network.  I have a three year old iMac (early 2009) on this network and a Mac Book Pro (late 2011). In addition, I backed up iTunes and iPhoto libraries to an external drive, with the intention of erasing them from my internal HD, just before installing the time capsule.
    Since making this change there have been a number of problems with the iMac.  It freezes up frequently, and also opens and closes programs at will.  For example, it reopens already closed windows on its own.  Speakers shut themselves on and off.  The mouse disappears. Going full screen with a movie enlarges the screen, but the moviie appears the same size in one corner.  There are "flashes" of windows which open and close at lightening speed. All these problems are intermittent, but started within the past two weeks, after intalling time capsule. Most recently, I received an error message where a grey screen came over my open window and told me I had to restart my computer immediately.
    iTunes also had a problem with launching itself over and over.  I did a bit of searching the web and resolved it the following manner.  It seems to have worked.
    While ITunes was open I opened Terminal and typed: killall iTunes
    This seems to have worked, but I include the information here to expound on the problems I've been having.
    I have my system backed up to the time capsule, using time machine, and the above mentioned libraries are on a seperate hard drive.  But is it possible to reinstall the operating system without losing documents and other personal stuff on my iMac?  Is reinstalling the recommended fix for all this instability?
    In addition to the above, my Mac Book Pro has also been running slower, with lots of pinwheels, since the network setup.
    Thanks in advance for your help with this problem.

    Hello Linc, thanks for your help.  Did not find a UUID--or at least I don't think it is here.  Here is the requested report:

  • Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

    PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
    This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software.  I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
    STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
    I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
    I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
    I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
    I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
    I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
    I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back. 
    Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile.  A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C:  Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
    I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project  - the problem persists.
    Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up.  I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me.  Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive.  Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything.  I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system.  Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr.  Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.
    SYSTEM CONFIGURATION:
    The Operating system and all software is installed on C:

    I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
    PREFACE:
    OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too). 
    If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem.  I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned  hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem.  I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe.  Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle). 
    In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM.  bla bla bla, puke...whatever.  Bottom line is this:
    It's not a software issue.  It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no!  It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue!  HA HA.  The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
    SOLUTION FOR ME:
    Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard.  Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC.  Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating.  A very handy, time-saving tool!!!  Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
    The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
    Intel Chipset
    Wired Networking
    and one non-intel driver:
    Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
    I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
    If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard. 
    ROOT CAUSE:
    While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.

  • I have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk?

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

  • Why does my computer look the same? I reinstalled the operating system.

    My mid-2012 Macbook Air has been running a bit slow, and I've had problems with other things, too. So I decided to reinstall the operating system and start from scratch.
    But after restarting my computer in rescue mode, everything is the same. I backed up my documents and photos and fully expected my computer to look like it did when it was brand new. So this is very confusing for me.
    I clicked the button for reinstall. Why wasn't everything wiped clean?
    Also, the fan is running loud since the install. It's been maybe seven minutes. Why would that be happening?
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the help. Much appreciated.
    The only confusing part was not quite knowing which option to select for the erase. Three different options appear in the left sidebar. One said something like Mac Hardware, so after some hesitation I chose that one. I wish there was a blurb that helped people understand what these are, in case they end up chosing the wrong one and permanently damaging their computer.
    But it looks like I chose the right one, thank goodness. My computer is noticeably faster now because of the erase and reinstall.
    Cheers.

  • I cannot reinstall my operating system..

    Hello.
    I bought my macbook about a year ago. shortly after the new year it started acting up. when we would start it up, it would take forever to load. and it wouldnt load all the way. on my top bar the only icon that showed on the right corner was the search icon.
    i tried to reinstall the operating system. it was successful. i archived all my info and went to retrieve my photos. i then realized i needed to install the applications disk as well, so i did. everything was still find up until that point. it still would not let me access my pictures. told me i needed to upgrade to a newer version of iphoto. so i checked for system updates. it pulled up 12. i said to install them all. after it restarted, it stopped after about the 3rd or 4th app install and told me to restart because it couldnt finish. so i did. then a screen with a bunch of symbols popped up when i restarted that told me to restart again. so i did.
    it kept taking me back to that screen on start up, so i put my operating system install disc back in. it told me i had to erase everything to continue, so i did. then it would not install. i shut it down, and tried again. this time instal was successful, but when i restarted it took me back to the instal screen. it wont let me eject the disc, and it keeps taking me back to that screen. so.. i tried to erase and instal again. now it wont even get halfway through the instal before it quits and tells me there is a problem..
    so..... what is the problem? i didnt want to take it to a pro but i feel i have no choice now.. just hopeing someone here could help me?

    thanks. ill try my very best to answer any questions that are asked of me.
    the installer log popped up. i tried to save and it tells me i dont have permission.
    the first few lines say: LCA[65] folder manager is being asked to create a folder (cach) while running as uid 0
    LCA[65] folder manager is being asked to create a folder (asav) while running as uid 0
    OSinstaller [151] IFDisk Object (null) was set with a nil DMDisk object
    when i went to the disk utility it told me that i couldnt do anything to my hard drive because it couldnt be unmounted ? i tried to "fix it" and then i tried to erase what was installed and it gave the same message both times...
