Lost iWorks during Reinstall - Help

I am a new Mac user and it has not been easy. I have had a number of freezes and software compatibility issues with the new leopard OS. This reached a point where I was advised to do a reinstall of the Leopard OS and erase old files. I had not transferred any files over from my PC so this was agreeable. However, now that I have done this, I no longer have iWorks on my computer. I thought it would be on the OS CD but it was not. What do I do???

Apple has warned that archive and install and erase and install will not replace certain parts of Apple Software that would have been retained in Upgrade install of Leopard. They have a tech note out that says that if you do not do an Upgrade install but choose one of the others, that you will have to reinstall the Apple Software. If you bought iWork and payed for it, you may have a registration. If you payed for a registration of the iWork that was preinstalled as a 30 day demo, you should have received a registration notification.
Apple has the tech note that says that if one chooses archive and install or erase and install... that one will need to reinstall the purchased Apple Software. This includes iLife 08, iWorks 08, and some pro software. The Apple software installs to the system and those parts are not retained unless you do an Upgrade install of Leopard.
If you just began using a mac, you may not yet have exceeded the 30 day demo. The demo would have been included on your original OSX install dvds that came with your computer and you can reinstall it by going to the disc and selecting Install Bundled Software.
If you had not already paid for the iWork suite, simply go to the Apple Store and purchase the retail install. All that is included when you originally buy your mac is the demo, not the registration that takes it past the 30day trial.

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

My itunes won't launch even after reinstalling. Looked in itunes folder and somehow lost itunes library? HELP!

The first thing I'd suggest is to get a good antispyware checker and give it a go at your system. Some recent spyware has been reported by other users to shut down iTunes or prevent it from launching. From user reports, Ewido seems to be the best at catching it. You can download a free version of Ewido here.
If that doesn't cure the problem, try deleting the iTunes preference files:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Data\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.) Delete them or if you want to be able to put them back if it doesn't help, drag them to some other location. This will force iTunes to run the setup assistant the next time you launch iTunes. Note that you'll have to go back and set any preferences you've changed from the default.
If that still doesn't work, try this:
Bugie: Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime.
Hope this helps.

Screed dies during reinstall of fw on n97mini

Hello everyone
I hope i can find someone here who can help me.
After getting my phone back from repairs (IT HAS BEEN THERE 5!!!!! TIMES IN 6 MONTHS) it again started to mess around on the first day trying to install something, and than telling me installer not working. so i thought a fullreset and reinstalling of fw would help. The problem is that during reinstall it tellsme that connectivity to device has been lost (ovi that is) and the screen of the phone dies slowly meaning it starts fading, than lines going through it than screen comming backon with nokia written on it. at that point the phone startd to charge again, but i can't switch it on. I need to remove the battery. phone starts againand is working again.
Does anyone know how to fixthis? Atthis point the repairshop had the phone more often than i do, everythinghas been replaced including twice the screen, memory card reader, keypad, mechanical componen (also twice whatever that means) and the logic board.
If there is anyone who has an answer i'd be very happy.
Kindregards
zero

During a FW install it is normal for the screen to go blank and the computer to say it is disconnected ! Just try to re-install firmware again. Make sure battery is fully charged , then connect and re-install firmware, do nothing to the phone untill the computer tells you to !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

I had to re-install my OS and lost iWork. How can I re-install it? It's not showing up in iTunes.

I had to re-install my operating system and I lost iwork. How can I re-install it?
I've gone to itunes and it's not there.

If you got it from the Mac App Store, sign in to it with the Apple ID you used to buy it and click on the Purchases tab.
If you got it from an iWork DVD, reinstall it from that DVD.

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

I lost my ipad4 please help me find it

i lost my ipad4 please help me find it

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

HT1925 during reinstall I get an error message regarding itunes.msi file.

I have uninstalled itunes according to these instrutions, but during reinstall I still get an arror message regarding itunes.msi file. How do I fix this?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

While updating to the latest software upgrade, I
believe I unplugged the Nano too soon. As a result,
I have not been able to access the Nano via the
updater to reset the iPod, get it into disk mode, or
get iTunes to recognize it. The iPod boots and will
ask for a language each time. I then get the songs
menu and all songs are gone. I'm guessing corrupted
the disk because updater won't initialize The
computer recognizes the iPod as drive H, so I don't
believe it's connection-related. Thanks for your help
Hello,
I had more or less the same problem when updating to 1.1.1 my daughter's 2GB nano (the same operation with my 4GB was completely OK). I was in despair, when eventually found the solution in this forum (by the way, I think it's a bug, but your own fault...):
1) connect the nano to the computer, then close iTunes or any other program trying to access it.
2) through Explorer, click on the "external unformatted disk" (or something like that) which corresponds to the nano (drive H, you said);
3) right click (and be patient, it may take a bit), then select "Format" (don't select 'low level formatting') and run it. It will take a bit, but in my case at the end of the formatting iTunes automatically started and recognized the iPod, and everything was OK.
Of course, the music previously stored was lost.
Hope it helps,
Ivan
