How do I open a Word attachment now that Apple no longer supports this application?

I have had several applications I can no longer open as Apple doesn't support them anymore.  Word Docs, in particular.  the PowerPC thingy isn't working.  Now what?

Is that because you have upgraded to Lion?
You can use PowerPC applications in Lion if you install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

    Maybe these?

    But why if you're running 10.6 do you need to do this? AW works fine in 10.6 with Rosetta.

  • How do i open an Appleworks file now that I am running Mavericks and Pages?

    How do I open an Appleworks file now that I am running Mavericks and Pages?

    Word Processing documents can be opened directly in Pages 4 (AppleWorks 6 only) but this is no longer available - the newPages 5 (Mavericks required) does not open AppleWorks documents. Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF (though it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames). The latest version of the free LibreOffice has announced that it can open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents and an ability to open ClarisWorks documents has been reported: it does appear to be able to handle at least some embedded images.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). LibreOffice will open simple Draw documents but I found it very unreliable with complex ones.
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in the older versions of  Numbers - the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in the older versions Keynote; again, the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
    To use other programs, or open Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first, which means you need a way to run it.
    If you have upgraded to Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks and have AppleWorks documents you cannot open, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard on an external hard disk and start from that (provided that the Mac did not come with anything higher than Snow Leopard originally installed); and success has been reported in running Snow Leopard Server under emulation in Parallels - the method is described here: Snow Leopard Server is available in the Apple Store (by telephone) at a reduced price (at the time of writing) and is preferable to using ordinary Snow Leopard which is quite tricky. I haven't tried this myself: use at your own discretion. You can then run AppleWorks as an emergency measure.

  • How can I view the videos of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

        How can I view the videos from the internet and networking of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • How do I activate an old Photoshop CS that's no longer supported

    I have an old version of the Adobe CS (first generation) that's no longer supported by Adobe. I'm still using it on a desktop. But I just bought a new computer today and wanted to install this over to the new desktop. It prompts me to register that product but that link doesn't work anymore. I asked Adobe through the Chat line and was told they don't support this old serial number anymore. How do I activate an old Photoshop CS that's no longer supported? Anyone?

    Thanks. I installed Photoshop CS2 and ran the program. It prompts to me Register. After I did, it tells me Registration is Complete. But when I close the program and reopen it again, it prompts me again! If I click Do Not Register, the box disappears but then reappears again when I reopen the software!  It's quick annoying. But I guess if there's no way around it, I may have to live with it!
    I should start saving up for the next CS version....

  • I have an old Mac laptop that Apple no longer supports -- so, I can't download the latest version of iTunes. Also, I got a new iPhone that won't communicate with my old version of iTunes. How do I transfer my music from my laptop to my new phone?

    Old version of iTunes on laptop won't transfer music to my new iPhone.

    Your profile shows you are running Lion (10.7.5). If this is the case, you certainly can sync with a new iPhone. If you are not running Lion, you will need to upgrade to at least Snow Leopard (10.6.8). See below to purchase.

  • How do you open a .dat attachment with Lion?

    Can anyone tell me how to open a .dat attachment now the Lion no longer supports the Tnef Enough program?

    The problem is that MS Outlook thinks that it is sending attachments to another Windows-based Outlook installation (actually its MS Exchange that's the culprit but we won't go there). So an easy fix is to have your son change your entry in his Outlook address book to indicate that you cannot receive RTF format files.
    Also, you can download a very nice app, TNEF's Enough http://www.joshjacob.com/mac-development/tnef.php
    It will enable you to drag and drop those pesky .dat files into TNEF where the attachment will open and enable you to save the individual files in their proper format.

  • How can I get back my Word docs now that Pages will not open them?

    How can I retrieve my Word docs now that Pages will not open them in Mavericks.  I have a brand new iMac with my evolving manuscript for a book transsferred from my now defunct MacBook Pro by external drive.  Pages tells me that "PowerPC apps are "no longer supported" and Mavericks will not open Microsoft Office, though it is still in Applications.  Would really appreciate ANY help!

    You will have to have an app that will open them first, you can upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 which is an Intel based app then open the docs and retry. Your docs were created with extremely old version of Office for Mac, version 2004!
    Another possiblity is  using a web based compatible MS Office for Mac app and see if it will open your doc and then save it, then attempt to re-open in Pages.

  • How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft word?

    How do I send my pages attachment so that it will open for those with Microsoft Word?

    Hi Victoria,
    Pages does not run on Windows.
    Word cannot open a Pages file.
    If you want someone without pages to be able to open your attachment, you will have to send it in a format openable on the recipient's computer.
    If the recipient needs only to read the document, the most universal format is pdf. To send a pdf copy of your file, press command-P to open the Print dialogue, then click the PDF button and choose email PDF. This will open a new message in your default email client and attach the pdf file to that message.
    If the recipient needs to be able to edit/change your document, and has MS Word, then either Save a copy as a Word file or go File > Export and choose Word as the file format for the export.
    Be aware that MS Word does not support all features of Pages (and vice versa), and that formatting of the document may be affected by font substitution if you use fonts that are not available on the recipient's machine.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

    How can I open a .wps attachment in Entourage?

    That is a dedicated Windows format for Microsft Works ( now obsolete) and there is no direct conversion on the Mac side. There are workabouts:
    http://www.ehow.com/how_6132993_open-wps-files-mac.html
    The best thing is to encourage those who send such files to use "Save as..." from Works to save the file in another format. I believe Works allows the .rtf format that will open in TextEdit on the Mac. If they have the .doc option, you can open the file with Apple's Pages, Word for Mac, or any of the free productivity suites like LibreOffice.
    I received .wps files on a Win computer that did not have Works and it did not get very far either. Sounds like someone is not very accustomed to sharing files online.
    Can you tell us what model iMac you have and what Mac OS version it is running? "iOS" is not a Mac computer OS; runs only on iDevices.

  • How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

    The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
    However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
    But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

  • How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone ?

    How do I open a mime attachment on my iphone email?

    You can't.
    All attachments must be encoded before being sent and MIME 1.0 is the industry standard for message encoding.
    When receiving a message with an attachment file type that cannot be recognized by the email client and/or by the computer/device used, MIME attachment will appear instead.
    This can mean the attachment that was sent is a file type that cannot be accessed/viewed by the iPhone. I also see the same on occasion when a received message was forwarded by the sender and the message received by the sender contains an attachment that can be accessed/viewed by the iPhone but the original message that was forwarded was composed in HTML which can do screwy things with email on occasion - personally I wish HTML would be forbidden with the exchange of email - this along with forbidding the use of the AOL program to send email with attachments.
