What the heck happened to Appleworks6?

[Skobie]

I'm working on a brand new IMac G5 using OS X 10.4.3. I installed MS
Office 2004 and now I can't find Appleworks 6 via either Finder or
Sherlock. My kid uses Appleowrks in school so I'd like ot find it for
him.
Thanks for your help1Skobie

It should be alphabetically under Appleworks 6 in the main Applications
folder.

Be assured that installing MS Office does NOT remove Appleworks.

Daiya has it right as far as I can tell. Appleworks does come with your
computer and I have installed Office on several machines that also have
Appleworks and we use both.

I looked under HD > Applications, and its not there :-(
It was present before install of Office Mac 04.
I'm really confused!

My understanding is that Appleworks does not ship with all Macs. For
example, it shipped on the Mac mini I bought in February. But, it did not
ship on the iBook I bought in April. The iBook came with the World Book
Encyclopedia (this app didn't come bundled with the Mac mini).

 

[Michel Bintener]

Are you really sure about the iBook not shipping with AppleWorks? AppleWorks
has been bundled for many years with the consumer Macs, i.e. the iMac, eMac,
iBook and Mac mini. According to Apple's own website, the iBook still ships
with AppleWorks; maybe you'll have to install it separately. I'd say that
once Apple has expanded the iWork suite (maybe Macworld 2006?), AppleWorks
will be ditched for good.

PowerBooks do not ship with AppleWorks, I'm pretty sure (at least I don't
think mine did last year). Perhaps that's the confusion? But iBooks are more
aimed at the student market, theoretically, so AppleWorks makes more sense
for them.

But I double-checked the original poster, and it *is* supposed to be on the
iMac G5, I think, though it's a throwaway line at the bottom--and that
software should all be installed on a new computer from apple.

I remember when I was considering purchasing a tower type G5
and one of the deciding factors to get the iMac at that time
was that the Towers (i.e., the "professional" systems) did
not come with the same software bundle (including
Appleworks) that the iMac did. Other packages such as
Quicken also did not come with the tower. I had seriously
considered the tower even with it's higher price but when I
had to further add the price for several of these packages I
ultimately was forced to stay with the iMac.

But as far as I know, the iMacs all come with those
packages.

Now if the OP had purchased the iMac with Panther on it and
then LATER purchased an off the shelf TIGER package and did
a full install, the off the shelf TIGER wouldn't have those
iMac bundles on it.

.....Which raises the question as to whether or not the OS of the
original person who started this thread was installed at the factory,
the factory restore disks, or a copy of the OS purchased at retail. The
retail version may not have AppleWorks, and if a clean install was
performed AppleWorks won't be there any more.

Totally off topic--

CyberTaz, what does [stet] mean?

Type

define:stet

into the google search window. Perhaps (sic) was intended???

Just set up two new iMac G5s a week or two ago. I believe AppleWorks was
installed on them when I set them up. I had to reload one though and seem to
remember that AppleWorks was not set to install be default. I had to
customize the installation to install it. I just looked on the disk and
noticed there is also a "Bundled Software Only" installer.

And a quick check of the Support site turns up these reinstall directions:

You can also install Disc 1 and do a spotlight search using
"appleworksus" (US English) in the search box.
