The Problem
Now I have bought a new Mini, on which AW still works great, but
with one nasty exception: snip...snip...snip
Hi, Rudolf,
You say you bought a new Mac Mini, but are using 10.5.8. Did you
downgrade from Snow Leopard? New Macs, whenever you buy them,
aren't designed to run anything earlier than the systems with which
they come, so I wonder whether that is somehow related. Or did you
mean that you it was "new" a while back? *If* that's the case, you
might want to try installing Snow Leopard on the machine and trying
to run AppleWorks again.
Thanks for your answer, Andrew.
This is the actual Mini shipping, and indeed, there was SL on the
machine, and yes, I have downgraded (I do not like the SL-Finders
behaviour), but: It is not so, that new Macs generally only run with
the system they were delivered with. Have a look to the thread labeled
"Content changes in folder /Volumes" just 2 days ago, where I have
outlined that more specifically.
The new Mini 3,1 even while delivered with SL, definitely runs with
10.5.5 and up, according to Apples handbook, which came with the
machine, and as far as I can tell mine runs quite well with 10.5.8. I
have also bought a new macbook Pro last June, also with SL on it, and
I also downgraded that one, and I do not have that AW problem there....
