AppleWorks-Education iMac (intel) - Network use doesn't work

We have an Xserve where all the students have their home folders. They log onto the Xserve in order to do anything. Worked great last year with our eMacs running 10.3.9. This year we have 42 new Intel Imacs(Education) and when you use Appleworks (lately the paint program) about 1/3 of the class stares at the spinning beachball. It usually happens when they save. I haven't been able to totally pinpoint at this time. It is very frustrating and AW worked perfectly before we upgraded to the new computers. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
I remember Steve Jobs telling us at the keynote that your apps will run fine under Rosetta... Hmmmm
On another note, we are a middle school and use Appleworks mainly for the paint program. Does anyone know of a simple paint program that is universal?

1. Does this FAQ help?
2. Try using Symmetrical Designer; there are some other options if it doesn't do what you want.

  • IMac intel : streaming QT doesn't work

    Hi!
    I'm not able with my imac intel to see QT live streaming events (like Keynotes of Jobs).
    Before, with my iMac G5, the streaming QT worked well...now I've not changed any parameter of modem but the streaming doesn't work more.

    I have the same problem. QuickTime streaming is not working and I am unable to use iChat AV (video chat).
    My iMac Core Duo is behind a router, has a fix IP address and is connected to the router via ethernet cable.
    I tried to switch the QuickTime streaming setting from automatic to port 80 (http) with no success.
    Changing the set up of the router and placing the iMac into the DMZ solves the problem (but creates an other problem, within the DMZ the iMac is exposed to the internet, nothing I like to do).
    Just forwarding port UDP 554 to the iMac doesn't help, the iMac has to be in the DMZ.
    I have the impression that at some point in the initial communication between client and host a bit order error occurs and a wrong port number is used by Mac OS X on Intel.

  • I have a problem with my iMac (intel). Youtube doesn't work for almost a year, and now even the flash games (like facebook's games) doesn't work (sorry for my english)

    Hi, i have my iMac from 2008 and it's always work but for almost the lasy year youtube doesn't work. That's wasn't a problem but. right by now, everytime i tried to watch a video the mac start to freeze and i must close all the application which are working and, sometimes, i need to shut down the entire sistem. I tried to reset safari, delete chache and cookies, whatever...but nothing.  What can i do?
    P.S. Even the flash games, like facebook's games doesn't work...they are slow and sometimes they freeze all. Sorry for my english

  • The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work.

    Every time I login to KDE through KDM, the notification gives me this message: "The Audio playback device HDA Intel (ALC268 Analog) doesn't work. Falling back to default"
    Everytime I try to play an audio file, the notification gives me the same message.
    But everything else such as system sound, online video work.
    What can I do to make it work?
    thank you for your help

    I have the same problem under the same conditions the original poster described. However, under System Settings -> Multimedia -> Device Preference I don't have default as device listed. The devices I can pick are:
    -Esound (ESD)
    -HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)
    -HDA Intel, NVIDIA HDMI (HDMI Audio Output)
    -Jack Audio COnnection Kit.
    I can also pick HDA Intel (NVIDIA HDMI) when I check  'Show advanced devices'
    When I use Esound I have sound for a while, until after a random time it falls back to the underlying device, which makes sound disappear. When I use HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog), it falls back immediately on logging in and the other choices do never fall back, but when I use them, I have no sound at all. After I loose sound when Esound falls back to another device, sometimes writing sudo /etc/rc.d/alsa restart gives sound back, but mostly I need to relog/restart the X-Server to get sound back.
    Is my issue related to the original poster his problem? And how can I fix it?

    I have an iMac and my keyboard doesn't work. How can I fix it. Got it in 2011. Also my mouse is acting up

    What OS X are you running and do you have USB or Wireless input devices...?
    For wireless devices, take a look at > Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues
    USB keyboards and mice generally don't have connection issues, but they and there cords do occasionally go bad.

  • Translating ClarisWorks 4 documents to Appleworks in iMac Intel computer

    Peggy and Dennis' answers to my question of March 23 has told me that AppleWorks can be used on the iMac Intel Duo Core. My question: If I purchase a current AW, will AW, operating on my new iMac Intel translate my ClarisWorks 4 documents (created on a PowerMac G3 with OS 8.6)? Or, do I need some other translators? (I have read the Sunshine dialogue.) I have word processing and database files. The database files I have moved to the iMac appear as dark icons.
    Thanks for your help.
    Duodriver

    Yes, AppleWorks 6.2.4 will work & it will open ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files. AW 6.2.9 had something "break" in the update & it may or may not open these files. Also, drag & drop in tables broke, but that just would require copy or cut & paste of the data.
    Since Pages will only open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, you'll want to keep AppleWorks 6 to use any other kind of Claris/AppleWorks documents. I have found that inline objects don't translate to Pages, but floating ones do. Pages 2 now supports the importing of floating spreadsheet frames in AppleWorks 6 word processing documents.
    Once you get all of your ClarisWorks documents updated to AppleWorks 6, I suggest updating to AppleWorks 6.2.9. One big advantage 6.2.9 has is that it supports scrolling mice.

  • IMac 17" Intel CD: display doesn't work

    ciao,
    today when I switched my iMac on the display remained dim, just like if it was off, while everything else worked OK.
    so the display was black like it was off, but then I noticed that if I looked very carefully I could see the login box and I managed to log-in.
    to cut the story short: the iMac is working OK but the screen is so dim it looks like it is off.
    what can I do? Apple support chat told me to try to reboot the iMac pressing Command-Option-P-R, and that this doesn't work it is an HW problem: any other suggestion/reccomendation?
    thank you very much

    Try the F14 & F15 buttons. Those control the brightness of the screen. That should be able to solve that problem. I had that thing before until I messed with the keyboard and "discovered" it.

  • [SOLVED] network randomly doesn't work after reboot (e100)

    Hi
    Lately I have some weird issues with network. I shutdown computer during night, so basicly I reboot it at least once per day and every now and then without any pattern network doesn't work at all and so far only solution I have found is to reboot (again).
    Before anything else I'm sure it's not hardware problem, since other OS on same computer don't have any issues, neither is router since other devices in network from laptops to mobile phones work flawless.
    Relevant info and what I have found so far (not everything is copy/pasted so there may be some typos):

    I don't have anything special set at router but I doubt rc.conf play any role. I will try to set it up with dhcp (but I think I have tried that already) if there is any change.
    This morning I had to reboot twice, so new kernel didn't help. Fowler, what network card are you using, also e100 (well or some intel)? I dunno, should this be handed to the kernel team? If it will piss me enough one morning I'll just go and buy a new network card, just wanna be sure that will really solve the problem.
    UPDATE: OK, this is just silly. I remebered I have acctualy onboard LAN so I edited rc.conf and dived into the dust under my desk to move cable and there I found out it was acctual onboard in use all the time Now this dosen't make much sense to me anymore, when I can't get net up all the stuff in dmesg is e100 related. Anyway, I connected network to e100 and rebooted, suprise, same story. Dmesg reported again link was not ready. I edited rc.conf to
    INTERFACES=(eth0 !eth1)
    in case this has anything to do with proper timing at assigning whatever needs to be assigned to network cards at boot so I'm sure just 1 card with all info provided get's kicked in at boot. First reboot after that works, it dosen't prove anything yet but at leat it's some kind of progress in recognising proper cause.
    UPDATE 2: Nah, still happens. Googling for "no link during initialization" show a lot of familiar problems, almost all on nforce motherboards and mine is nforce too. I just don't get it why this mess seperate PCI network card. In any case it's extremely annoying.

  • KA780G second network card doesn't work

    Hi everybody,
    Today, I put an second network card on the KA780G board (it's for a round robin network), on a free PCI slot, and this card isn't recognised by Linux and Windows  (in Windows XP, when the network card is connected, my graphical card works bad as well).
    I tested this network card in another computer and it's working well, I try with another type of network card and it's not working.
    I upgraded the BIOS with the latest release and reset the bios parameters but it doesn't work. 
    Do I need to put some specifics parameters in the BIOS ?
    Someone as an idea ? 
    Thanks
    Matt

    As you want... but I know the truth 
    Transfert a file takes me twice the time when the second network card was unpluged (the test was made with two differents files with the same size, this is for keeping disk caching speeding the transfert).
    I think, your're not understanding, so let me explain the achitecture of my network : two computers pluged to my "super magic switch" (each with one network card) and my NAS with two round robin's network card.
    I transfert one file from the NAS to the first computer and at the same time another file from the NAS to the second computer. The network speed was (on the NAS) about 24MB/s (see with the system monitor).
    If you're right explain me why many people using port trunking with their switches ?

  • IMac Intel Core Duo Keyboard Stops Working Intermittently

    Hello,
    About every 10 minutes or so, maybe longer, my iMac's keyboard stops working completely. The list shown below are additional items that I have tried or is a side-effect to the keyboard issue:
    The problem occurs on more than one keyboard, therefore, it doesn't seem to be a faulty keyboard issue
    The quick solution is to unplug the keyboard from the back of my iMac and plug it in again. Then the keyboard resumes its normal operation. However, on some occasions, the unplug/plugin technique does not work. It that case, I have to do a hard power-down, wait 10 seconds, then turn the iMac on again. Normal keyboard operation is finally returned.
    The mouse will turn off, which is indicated by the light inside the mouse turning off
    If the mouse does turn off, I unplug it from the keyboard and plug it directly into the back of the iMac. The light inside the mouse comes back on, but the mouse cursor is unresponsive
    The iMac Intel Dual Core is about six years old.
    Any information is appreciated
    Thank you,
    Tony

    Try doing a SMC reset, if that doesn't work try a PRAM reset. Don't be afraid to do these resets 2-3 times each if they don't work the first time.
    _SMC RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Attach the computers power cable.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    _PRAM RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    • Release the keys.

  • IMac (Intel) Restore DVDs don't work if the drive has been formatted first

    Here's an interesting find...
    we have a gob of iMac G5s that were being re-imaged and one iMac Intel was mistakenly re-imaged with a G5 dmg (via Firewire Target Disk Mode).
    As expected, the iMac Intel wouldn't boot from a 10.4.4 image built on a G5, but now when I try to restore the Intel back to the out-of-the-box state (booting from its OS dvds), the installer reports "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. Mac OS X cannot start up from this volume." The Options button is greyed-out (where normally you could select Options and choose Erase and Install).
    Further inspection on another out-of-the-box Intel iMac (in Firewire Target Disk Mode) shows its hard drive is actually partitioned into two volumes: One is a 200MB partition, the other is the remainder and mounts as Macintosh HD. The 200 MB partition will not mount (via Disk Utility).
    I'm assuming that since the Intel iMac's drive was erased prior to booting from it's OS DVDs, the necessary partitions are not present.
    Anyone have any info? I'm guessing that since I did not initiate the restore from the DVD's "Install Mac OS X and Applications" script the drive did not get partitioned correctly...
    TIA -m.

    Yeah, I found that out. Here's one link that describes the issue:
    http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=08405
    My point was to illustrate the OS Installer/Disk Utility’s inability (while booted from the OS DVD) to provide the option to choose the GUID partitioning scheme for a volume during an “erase and install” on a drive that has been previously formatted under the “traditional” partition scheme – the “options” button does not appear.
    To reinstall to factory defaults, I had to boot the target iMac into Firewire disk mode and use another iMac (Intel) and its Disk Util to get the “options” button to select the GUID partition scheme.
    Oh well, I’m sure Apple’s working on that…

  • IMac freezes & Time Machine doesn't work anymore

    Hello,
    For several days now my trusty iMac (two years old) keeps freezing without a recognizable pattern. Programs like iTunes, iPhoto or maybe even the Finder just stop working and display only the rotating ball - the only thing left to do for me after that is to manually terminate that process or (in the case of the Finder) to restart the whole iMac. I'm really clueless as to where this behaviour suddenly comes from, up until about a week ago the iMac worked perfectly. And now something like this happens every single time I start it.
    Another thing that doesn't work anymore is Time Machine. My last automatic backup is from September 17th. After that it just stopped working. Every time an automatic or manual backup is initiated it just says "Searching for backup volume" but doesn't find it, even after several hours of looking. The Time Capsule itself works perfectly, no errors whatsoever.
    My iMac is up-to-date, I also already ran the disgnostics of the hard drive program - everything seems to be fine. Can anyone help me?
    Thank you in advance,
    Paul

    Go buy yourself a iPhone 5. Sync your iPhone 3GS to iTunes on you computer so you have a back up ready to put on the iPhone 5. If you want you can update your iPhone 3GS with iTunes on your computer, but this is not necessary.

  • Cleaned keyboard of my imac and now it doesn't work

    My keyboard had gotten pretty dirty over the years. After doing some research, I read that you can pull of the keys, clean them and then put them back on which is what I did. They were working while I was putting them on because I was playing music on itunes and when I hit the arrow button, the music would skip tracks. Also, I saw the "CAPS LOCK" key light up when I placed the button back on.
    But after I completed replacing the cleaned buttons and tried typing, it doesn't work. I rebooted and it still doesn't work.
    The mouse is plugged via the keyboard and that does work.
    Is it broken now? I thought it was safe to clean with this method. I basically just took cleaning wipes and qtips to clean inside the keyboard and the actual buttons.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have no Idea where you found out about pulling off keys. My "Everything Mac" booklet says nothing about cleaning the keyboard. I would have called Apple first before doing any keyboard cleaning. You may have to get a new keyboard.
