How may I open Pages '08 docs in Pages for Mac?  Requires saving to Pages '09 which I don't have.

If you still have a working copy of Pages ’08, then save the Pages documents out as .doc Word files and open those in Pages v5.5.2. If you do not have a machine to run Pages '08 on, but still have the iWork '08 DVD, you can install that on Yosemite, and then update Pages '08 to version 3.0.3. Then export the Pages documents to Word. Or you can simply avoid using Pages v5.5.2 altogether, as it has a fraction of the capability found in Pages '08.

  • Cannot open documents originally in Word 2008 for Mac and saved in Pages 09

    I have both Word 2008 for Mac and IWork 09. Working on long and complicated documents in Word, I had a number of problems with Word so that I decided to switch to Pages. I copied my documents into Pages, and saved them in Pages. Now, when I want to open them in Pages, I get a message that Pages cannot open those documents.The message says: the "file" couldn't be opened. The required index.xml file is missing.
    Again: original Word document, properly saved into Pages. the saved Pages file cannot be opened in Pages.
    What do I do wrong?
    Thanks.

  • How do you open adobe reader docs from a cd-rom

    How do I open Adobe PDF doc from a cd-rom

    Yes, I recently bought a book with a cd-rom with it that has documents on the cd that I can copy and use for my students and use as assessments. When I load the cd-rom, it opens up in adobe acrobat reader window and it has on the upper right hand side TOOLS COMMENT SIGN . The doc's are highlighted in blue but I cant click on them because it either gives me this selection only; Seltct Tool, Marquee Zoom, Hand Tool. It will not allow me to just left click and print doc. Top menu has File, Edit, View, Window, Help and the usual zoom 100% or 150% . and the print icon is visable but it will prunt the the page not the specific document I want. It has convert files to PDF on line and convert files to Microsoft word online, sign in doc, So what is it that need to open the documents and just print?

  • 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 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

    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.

  • HT1473 How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library? How may one add more than one images?

    How may one add cover art in iTunes 11, for a CD imported to the library?
    How may one add more than one images?

    I understand what you mean - I too, would like to see some variability in the 'default'. Besides having a single default, I would step that up to a default that changes with genre and media: ie. I could see using a sax for Jazz; a microphone for a Podcast, etc.
    I don't have the answer to your question yet, but I think I'm going to crack open the iTunes package to see what default images there are embedded in there.

  • I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • HT4689 In the video: mission control in action,we see many open windows which I don't have. How do they get there?,

    In the video: mission control in action in Mac 101,we see many open windows which I don't have. How do they get there?

    On modern MBairs, the F3 key will take you to Mission control.  Once there, hold the Option key down and you'll see  a tab with the "+" sign on it.  Pressing this will add another desktop.  You can assign apps to desktops or just drag them there.   Switching between desktops is done by swiping either 3 or 4 fingers across the trackpad. (depend on the option chosen in System Preferences > Trackpad).

  • HT2614 Help! How do I open a winmail.dat attachment with my Mac OS 10.6.8 & Mail 4.6 (1085) Thank you.

    Help! How do I open a winmail.dat attachment with my Mac OS 10.6.8 & Mail 4.6 (1085) Thank you.

    Winmail. dat file is attachments sent by Microsoft mail applications (Outlook, Outlook Express or Exchange) on a proprietary format called TNEF. Being a non-standard attachment format, users from other e-mail clients (like Thunderbird or Lotus Notes) or platforms (like Android, Apple, iPad or iPhone) cannot natively read them. But you can open it easily with a winmail viewer. Go to download one and good luck!

  • How can I open a System 7 CD on my Mac 10.6.8?

    How can I open a system 7 CD on my Mac 10.6.8?

    System 7 never came on a CD.  It might have come on a floppy.   Do you mean System 7.6 or 7.5 CD?   There is no way legally to do so on a 10.6 running computer. You need a Mac from 1995 or 1996 or 1997 that supported that disc.    System 7 history is here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7 
    Note, if no Mac model is stated on the CD, it will run on the older Macs assuming the right amount of RAM is installed, and the CPU supported by that system.   A Mac normally will not run an older Mac OS than it shipped with.  And Mac model specific CDs will only run on that age of that model that CD shipped with.
