Dear Users at Open Office Org.
I have attempted several times to download your OOo .2.2.1 MacOSXIntel
install en-US.dmg on my Mac Pro OS X 10.4.10 with and without X11 through
Firefox, Version 2.0.0.2. The download goes smoothly but when I click to
open a pop up window reads:
"Warning"
"The following disk images failed to mount"
Image Reason
OOo.2.2.1.MacOSXint not recognized
I am familiar with your product, having downloaded it to my PC last
December . It works just swell and thanks for that. Because it works so
well I wanted to put in on my Mac as I am converting (or trying to) from
MS. I write for a living and wanted Open Office, as, at least on my PC,
it works a lot better (i.e., faster, more efficiently and more
conveniently) than the Apple iWorks word processor program Pages.
I have tried several times to download to Mac, dropping the Icon, when one
appears into Applications. No luck. I downloaded X11, redownloaded Open
Office, again to no avail. I have read your FAQ and perhaps missed
something but did not find a resolution. I went to the Apple page you
referenced but there was no advantage in that either.
I have, and so contacted, Apple Care, and was told by the technician,
after some hunting, that he was not able to assist me (although he claimed
to personally use Open Office) because he wasn't familiar with the
problem and Apple does not have support files for Open Office (however,
they do for other ".dmg" files such as Firefox).
The Apple technician suggested that I contact you. I had hesitated to do
so as I didn't want to bother folks who are already doing so much BUT, I
do want to use Open Office on the Mac, as I'm hoping it will make it
possible to work effectively.
Can you advise me? Please, keep it simple. I use a computer to make a
living but that doesn't mean I understand them or their ever changing
jargon.
Thank you again for Open Office
Sincerely,
John
