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 do I open older appleworks files on my new iMac?
I cannot open cwk documents created on an emac running 10.3. I now have an iMac, power PC G5 running 10.4.11. I have installed Appleworks 6.2.9 and can create and open documents that have been created with it. I cannot open any documents created on the old computer. I keep getting an i/o error occurred message when I double click on the icon. I have tried opening a new document and inserting the old, but nothing happens. I have downloaded the appleworks file repair utility and dragged the files into that, but still nothing. Help!

You hit widely described features.
AppleWoks 629 is unable to open a lot of old files.
If you had take care of the description of the tool, you wouldn't have lost time with "Appleworks file repair utility" which is perfectly described as a tool designed to repair files corrupted by a specific network configuration. Nothing common which a single user system.
To solve your problem, two tracks available:
(a) run AppleWorks under Classic. Doing that it's in fact AppleWorks 628 which will run and it is able to open oldies.
(b) get an older version of the program, 624 or 627 which are able to do the job.
Open the files then save them in the "new" format. When it will be done you will be able to use them with 629.

How do I open recovered Appleworks files?
I have used Stellar Phoenix to try and recover/open deleted files. It seems to recover data but when I try to open by clicking in the finder I get an I/O error message. When I try to open withing the app, it does nothing. S.P. techies are stumped. Any ideas?
Hello
I never used Stellar Phoenix.
Recovery programs scan the HD in search of file headers. When they find one, they use this header to rebuild a file.
Alas, many of these headers are pointing to reused blocks so the resulting file is unusable.
This is not surprising.
In the lot of "resurrected" files some are odd, some are correct.
You will have to scan them one by one.
If you send me one of these odd one, I will be able to write and test a script batch checking the "resurected files". It will move the odd ones in a folder named "odd".

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:

SIf all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
How do I open a CR2 file using CS3 photoshop
how do I open a CR2 file in CS3
You cannot open a raw file from that camera directly in CS3 and never will be able to. That camera model was supported for the first time in Camera Raw 5.2, which requires CS4 to run.
You need to convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files first. Download, install and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.1, which is not tied to any version of Photoshop at all, -

Opening my appleworks file in word 2007
I have a PC at work and used to have a mac at home (I will be getting a new mac in a few months). I have an appleworks file that I saved a while ago that I am trying to open on Word 2007 at work, but there isn't the converter like word 2003 had. Any ideas how I can open this file? Thanks in advance
JoleneWelcome to Apple Discussions Jolene
I never have had good luck opening AppleWorks documents in Word 2003 on my work PC. Where Word 2004 on my Mac opens them almost flawlessly, they will open on the PC, but full of "garbage text." A one-line AppleWorks word processing document became 26 pages in Word. Of course, Word won't even know it can open the AppleWorks file if it doesn't have the .cwk extension. And it can only open word processing files.
I think you'll have much better luck if you save your AppleWorks documents as Word before sending them. Be sure to add the .doc extension because AppleWorks won't do it for you. -
How do i open a raw file in lightroom
how do I open a raw file in lightroom?
Yes, those are good links, but let's clean up the terminology too so we're all talking the same language.
There is no "open" in Lightroom when referring to photos.
You can "import" photos into Lightroom ... this means that now Lightroom has registered the photo's location and other pertinent information into its database, but it does not store the photo itself in the Lightroom database (or anywhere else in Lightroom), so Lightroom never contains your photos; the photo continues to be stored on one of your hard drives, wherever you want it to be, and the file is visible in your operating system.
Once you have imported the photos, then Lightroom can perform tasks on the photos, such as Develop, Print, e-mail or upload, etc. and once you have imported photos into Lightroom, you should not move or rename or delete them outside of Lightroom. -

You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.

Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.

Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.

How to use Open/Create/Replace File.vi
How to change Open/Create/Replace File.vi to Open File?
Use the routine Write Characters to File.vi found under the File IO palette. It has a boolean control on the front panel. If this is set true, data is appended to the end of an existing file, or a new one is created if the file doesn't exist. If the control is set to false, the file is always created new--overwriting any existing file with the same name.

I'm still using 'good ole' Appleworks 6 on Snow Leopard. I'v heard that Maverick does NOT support Appleworks 6. Is this true?? Are my 20 years of Appleworks files now useless?

Nothing will open Database documents. You would need to export the data as ASCII and import it into another database program; you will lose your formatting and calculations will come over as the result, not the calculation.

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE
The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs. -
I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now. Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it. I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
Outlook is still not working. Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.
