Reinstalled OSX and Appleworks went bye bye?

What gives? I decided to do a fresh install of my ibook and everything is there EXCEPT my Appleworks program that was there the day I bought it. A little help ont his would be great thanks.

I just reinstall my OSX also and I have my software Install/restore that came with my iMac.
After going through all the first layers of screens, I choose my hard drive and it says software restore in installing (or something like that I forget).
Then another screen comes on saying to "insert the CD that looks like this" except what its showing is a picture is of the CD that's already running.
There is only a quit button, nothing else.
How am I supposed to install the software if I can't get beyond this screen?
I just had to reinstall OSX 10.4, I'm using the software install disk that came with my iMac - which came with 10.2 installed.

    It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
    Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
    I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
    Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
    If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
    If that doesn't work you have a few options:
    If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
    There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7  will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
    If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.

  • There are two iMacs connected through same router in my house but one refuses to login to facebook and other logged in sites. local techies are bemused, I have just reinstalled OSX and still have the problem. Login page recycles and no errors reported.

    There are two iMacs connected through same router in my house but one refuses to login to facebook and other logged in sites. Local techies are bemused, I have just reinstalled OSX and still have the problem. Login page recycles, I get no further and no errors reported. Safari, Opera and Firefox. Deleted cookies and chain but still no action.

    If you have not already done so, read the router's user manual troubleshooting section and/or contact its customer service department/forums. 
    If still having problems, post back w/details of all you have tried to resolve the problems along w/the troubleshooting solutions that the "local techies" had you try.
     

  • I Killed Quick time (going to reinstall OSX and need ac3codec for mac)

    Hi,
    I killed my quick time. I have a video file I want to play (a project I'm working on with others.) anyway, it has 5.1 audio. The video plays, but no audio. I put the file on the XP and still no audio. I played it on Divx player. It says I'm missing Tag 8192.
    So after a quick Google, i get ac3codec for the XP, install... and i get the audio on the XP with the video.
    Off to find the codec for the mac...I found a file, i forget where i got it, placed it in the /libary/qucktime. and none of my .avi files will play any more, just a white screen. my .mov files seem to work fine. I remove the codec, and QT is still busted.
    In reading the fourms here, it seems Quicktime is part of OSX, so there is no real, uninstall...reinstall thing, is that correct? Unless there is another suggestion, I plan on reinstalling OSX tonight. This should restore QT.
    Also, is there a ac3codec type thing for the mac?

    Ok, i'm getting really bent. I don't get how these played before and now they don't. I'm still not getting it to work.
    Here is the movie format: XVID, 608 x 272, Unknown
    I went here to get a codec: http://www.xvidmovies.com/mac/
    i down loaded the codec for OSX
    I end up with a file called: XVIDDelegate and i put in in the root of the HD\Libary\QuickTime.
    Still does not play.
    there is an instruction file.
    "First you need DivX 5 (http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/). Then, if you are
    on MacOS X, drop "XVIDDelegate.component" into /Library/QuickTime, or if
    you are on MacOS 9, drop "XVIDDelegatePPC" into your Extensions folder
    and restart."
    So i go to dvix.com, and it seems i have to pay $20. I'm really confused, maybe its just frustration blinding me. Most of my avi files played, now they don't.
    Thoughts?

  • HT1533 SSD PROBLEM: unable to reinstall osx and also failed in backup recovery.

    Yesterday my MacBook Pro 2011 suddenly got hanged and freeze. And I have to restart system by hard shutdown. Then I faced this problem every time. I reset nvram but it did not work . Then I thought May be it's corrupt operating system I tried to reinstall new osx maverick from recovery mode but system freeze again during osx downloading process. I tried this 2 more times but the same problem occurred. Afterwards I deleted all ssd drive data in partitions but when I tried to  unmount and delete the partitions here I was failed in unmounting partitions. But I deleted all data from all partitions.after this I tried again to reinstall osx but system hung after sometime. I also tried to recover from my time machine backup but the same problem happened and my system got freeze and I have to hard shutdown. I also did hardware diagnostic  test which showed everything ok. Now I am realizing that my SSD got corrupt.  Could you please help me what I  should consider that can fix my problem. I also tried fsck and verify and repair the disk.

    Devbird,
    are you still able to boot into Recovery mode? If so, select Utilities from the menu bar and run Terminal from there. In the Terminal window, give it the following commands, one per line, separating each command by pressing the Return key at the end of each line:
    diskutil list
    diskutil cs list
    mount
    Please include in your reply the full output from these commands.

  • How to reinstall osx and recover data?

    Hi
    If I reinstall osx 10.6.8 after hd format, and later connect my time machine external drive, will I get back all my stuff? I mean data, docs programs and so on?
    After having played with a linux install, I found partitions ex linux I don't know how to delete and reassign to the mac hd, so I think the easiest way shoul be a fresh reinstall.
    Thanks, Gianfranco

    Thanks, my osx is already at 10.6.8. I had a lot of fun with Ubuntu, and even if I was warned about issues, wanted to try. I did it because some hardware will not be detected by osx. Afterwards decided to uninstall Ubuntu and switch to W7 for the above. Disappoint: ex linux partitions will not be removed by disk utility, and, more frustrating, Bootcamp does not allow to install Win because it finds that mac hd is not journaled. Of course is not: to be it expects a contigous volume, not parted. So, just to talk about my experience, mac architecture is very rigid, both in hardware management and software: it wants to decide where to store or pick data according to itunes philosofy (not mine) and, at the moment don't find any advantage respect Win/Linux exept a beautiful piece of furniture. Sorry for my complaints, you were very kind and gave me a helpful hint, but I'm starting to regret the iMac/iPad purchase.
    Thanks for all, Gianfranco

  • Reinstall OSX and Password failure`

    OK... I ran into a prublem with the Mac, and I am trying
    to give her new life by reinstalling OSX after tech supports suggestion. I Held the C key and started from the DVD thus attempting to replace the OS... the computer is not recognizing my password. It appears as if the OS loaded BUT I can only log in as a Test User. It is not recognizing my Password.
    If the computer is not recognizing my password, after the OS install what can I do??? Should I try to erase the entire HD and reinstall again???
    Help!!!

    Yes if the only thing you can get is a test user account and cannot log into the admin account.
    Reboot with the DVD and hold down the "C" key.
    Do an erase & install.

  • AppleWorks Went Bye

    Just upgraded to Mavericks, apparently it doesn't support Power PC apps so I can't open/use any of my existing AppleWorks docs?  iPages won't open AppleWorks docs either, is there an Appleworks upgrade/version that works with Mavericks?

    PPC apps haven't been supported since LIon came out.

  • Cant log in to reinstall OSX and support is not accepting chat

    Any suggestions?
    I am promted for an Apple ID, then are told the ID has not been used at an app store.
    It is an operating system.  Not an app.

    You can try Internet Recovery (depends on your Mac model/year) - hold Command + Option + R keys until you're connected to Apple's servers. Use Disk utility to erase the drive and then hit install OS X. It should install the original OS (if Lion or later) and you can then update to Yosemite using your own Apple ID. If it came with Snow Leopard or earlier, you'll need the original install disk - boot from that, wipe your drive, and reinstall. Then update. If the first suggestion works, be careful as to whose Apple ID you choose to use as it will be tied to it.

  • Reinstall OSX and Reformat Hard Drive

    I have an older MacBook Pro that I am trying to clean up and sell. I cannot find the original CDs that came with the computer that have the OSX install and applications on them. What I do have is a Snow Leopard install DVD but I cannot figure out how to reformat the hard drive with Snow Leopard. I'm only figuring out how to do an upgrade install which does not refomrat the hard drive.
    Will it be possible for me to do reformat the drive without those original CDs? What if I upgrade to Mavericks?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for help. I'm looking at the Disk Utility option now after putting the Snow Leopard disk in. I'm a bit confused... If I choose erase disk, wouldn't that totally wipe the hard drive and the current OSX on the machine and NOT install a new version? Would I then need to boot from the OSX disk after erasing the hard drive to install Leopard?

  • Question about reinstalling osx and apple id activation

    if i reinstall os x fresh on my laptop without first de-authorizing my apple id, will it use another authorization when i go to authorize again? i'm confused if it goes by hardware id or what and i can't seem to find an answer anywhere.

    There aren't any "authorizations" as you are referring. There is no limit to the number of times you can reinstall the OS.
    If you erase the drive or replace the drive, Internet Recovery will reinstall the originally shipped OS.
    If you purchased Mountain Lion separately and installed over another OS, you'll need the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion.

  • I reinstalled osx and now no password will be recognized

    Now that OS X reinstalled stick has been installed - my password will not be recognized. So I go to reset with my main password, and any new password shakes its head at me. 

    Did you backup your hard drive before you reinstalled OS X? What folder did you save your iMovie and iDVD projects in? They should still be in that folder, so you should search for them by name and see if you find them.
    Archive & Install would have preserved all your settings, and at worst, your files would be somewhere in the Previous System folder, in which case you would just have to move them to your current system installation before deleting the old one.
    Hope this helps,

  • RAID setup without Reinstalling OSX and Applications

    (sorry about the 2 previous bogus posts - for some reason, half of my question was missing!)
    Aloha,
    Maybe someone can help with this:
    I have a G5 Quad.
    I have (2) 250GB internal drives of the same type.
    I want to make these drives a RAID 0 (striped) for speed of access to my large applications (faster load times).
    I have my Startup drive (OSX10.4.10) cloned onto an external FW Drive.
    I would like to startup my Mac from the external FW clone of my system drive, create the RAID on the internal drives, then CLONE back the OS from the external FW to the internal RAID drives.
    Is this possible?
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Will it work if I make the internal drives into a RAID 1 (mirrored) configuration instead of RAID 0?
    Thank you all!
    Bernard

    Hi Bernard;
    In order to create a RAID array it is necessary to reformat the drive. This means you will lose all of your data. In addition, you can't do it with the drive on which you are currently running.
    You are going to need an external disk where you can clone your system disk on. This MUST a firewire drive so that you can boot from it after you clone everything you are able to boot from it. You would then create your RAID array and clone everything back.
    It will work with either RAID 0 or 1. It all depends on what you want from the RAID. If you what faster access to the data RAID 0 is the way to go. If you want protection from drive failure the RAID 1 is the way to go. It is your choose.
    Whatever you do please remember that data on a RAID array must be protected with a good backup solution.

  • I had to reinstall osx on my imac and now need to log back in to rstart the systemI fogot my name and password for the computer.How do I find it

    I have had to reinstall osx and am now trying to log on to my power mac g5 and have forgotten my name and password
    how do I find it?

    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 Reset Password from the Installer menu. (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 Reset Password.
    Or do you have Firmware Password Protection set up?
