I have a Max OS X 10.6.8 and the only has pages installed. I have been a mac consumer for many moons and I still like Appleworks. How can I get this installed? Also am using Safari....

My newly acquired macbook does not have Appleworks installed. The finder gives this info.....

file://localhost/Volumes/AppleWorks%206.2.9%20Updater/AppleWorks%206.2.9%20Updat er BUT

then it informs me that the default location for this install could not be found and will not be installed.

I am a long time user of mac and appleworks and would like to have this installation. Please advise.

thank you.....

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

You need to install it from a CD or copy it from an older Mac.

AppleWorks has pretty much disappeared. It is no longer in production and hasn't been for about 8 or 9 years. If you search Google you may find a download for the last version that was a universal version and worked on Intel versions of OS X. I would assume it is not installed on your system, hence, the error message.

AppleWorks is not legally available for download. You would need to buy a copy. HardcoreMac.com still lists AppleWorks 6 on their website. You could also try eBay but you would need to make sure it is AppleWorks 6.2 or newer to install on OS X.

Do you have you old computer still? You could transfer the appropriate folders wiht AppleWorks to the new computer.
