I have moved from a G5 Powermac to an Intel Mac Pro and selectively porting over items from a backup hard drive.
How can I access and use documents and drawings created on the PC based computer ?

Clarisworks, you need Appleworks, which will only work with Mac OS X10.6.8 or earlier.  See this tip if you must go newer.  Mac Pros with newer hardware configuration than July 20, 2011 can't use Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier without this tip and then it would be Mac OS X Server.  I'm not sure if the new black Mac Pro supports that configuration or not.
iPhoto, there is an iPhoto for all versions of Mac OS X.
iTunes, there is an iTunes for all versions of Mac OS X.  Note with iTunes versions 11 and later, which are needed for syncing with iOS 7 or or later, you will lose coverflow, if you liked that feature.  Sadly you can't run an older version of iTunes from within Mac OS X 10.9 or later.
Sketchup: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/60107 shows the versions that will work with intermediate Mac OS X versions, and this shows the latest version: http://help.sketchup.com/en/article/36208 be sure to click on the operating system you choose to use.
GIF - Viewing GIFs Apple's Preview can do that.  Editing them, I like http://www.lemkesoft.com/ Graphicconverter.
DMG is able to be opened by all versions of Mac OS X.  This are just "disk images" which store programs on a virtual disk that will open when double clicked.    Frequently you'll find the installer of the said program inside.  To find out if the program itself is compatible with 10.7 through 10.9, see http://www.roaringapps.com/
Otherwise see the resources on:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
If you end up deciding to stick with Snow Leopard.

  • G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    G'day.  I am using iMovie 11 and need to clear disk space.  How can I do that using an external drive, leaving me the option to go back and make changes or access old events or projects from that external drive?

    The slightly bigger question is whether you want to move all movie content to the external drive (essentially meaning that drive will always need to be attached when you're working with your videos), or whether you just want to archive older videos off to the external drive.
    If you want to move all videos, then just move the 'Movies' folder in your home directory to the external drive, then create an alias of the external 'Movies' back in to your home directory. Now the 'Movies' icon in your home directory will point to the external drive and everything will just work (as long as the external drive is attached when you launch iMovie)
    If you want to archive older movies then each Movie should have its own subdirectory within your Movies folder. These can easily be moved off to the external drive, and moved back should you ever need to work on those movies again.

  • I have moved from Aus to UK how do I change all my iTunes details WITHOUT losing everything I have purchased on my Aus account $4,000 worth....... and without losing iTunes match

    Hi,
    I have moved from Australia to UK and I would like to swap my details to the UK, country of residence, billing address etc.  I have spent over $4,000 on iTunes including extra iCloud storage and iTunes match.  I want to be able to keep app's, music, movies and my Cloud/Match exactly the same.  How do I do this?
    Everytime I go to do it a message says that all of my purchases will be lost?
    I need help but in real somple step by step easy as I am not hugely PC literate and still working out the whole Apple iTunes product behind the scenes so please help me in the simplistic way possible.
    Thanks you in advance

    Because of different local copyright laws and licensing you cannot keep everything exactly the same except for iCloud, which is not affected. You will have to create a new Apple ID for use on the UK iTunes Store with a form of payment drawn on a local bank and an address in the UK. As long as you have downloaded all your purchases and the computer is still authorized to play all protected video content that won't change, however Apps may give you trouble when updating because once associated with an Apple ID you can only switch between stores every 90 days.
    As for iTunes Match you must contact Australian iTunes Store support to cancel the subscription and you will have to resubscribe on the UK store.

  • How can I access docs on a frozen Pages app? The Pages app froze up after attempted repair at the Genius bar last night.  The IPAD was having significant memory errors, and staff backed it up to the ICloud, then wiped the IPAD clean and restored the apps.

    How can I access documents on a frozen Pages app? The Pages app on my IPAD does not function after the IPAD was backed up on the ICloud, and then restored. I synced the IPAD, but this did not solve the problem.  Other apps are working, just not Pages.  Please help! These docs are badly needed for work.  Thanks so much!

    Have you tried closing the Pages app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Pages 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Pages app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Lost booknamrks sub folders including the bookmarks after restoring from a backup file, how can i retore my bookmarks?

    I was organizing my bookmarks, by mistake I deleted a folder, after that I restored from a back up file (from the library window), instead of getting my bookmarks restored, I've lost all the sub folders including the bookmarks within!!! Now i only have the bookmarks in the unsorted bookmarks folder. What went wrong here and how can i get my bookmarks back?

    For the next time that this happens:
    If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.<br />
    The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
    That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.<br />
    If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.<br />
    This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.<br />
    <br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
    In that case you need to export the current bookmarks to an HTML file before doing the restore and import that HTML file after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
    You can remove duplicates with the CheckPlaces extension or you can copy the existing bookmarks to the clipboard before restoring the JSON backup and Paste them back afterward.

  • How can a video editor use an NTSC studio monitor on the new iMac without a Firewire 400 port?

    Looking at the new iMacs (hungrily) and wondering how I will be able to continue using my Sony DSR-11 and NTSC monitor in the absence of any Firewire 400 port.  I suppose there may be cables that will allow me to use the Firewire 800 port and am thinking they may be difficult to locate.

    No they're not - they're available from many sources; i.e. I bought a FW 400 > 800 cable when I bought my iMac last August (at an authorized local reseller). Just google Firewire 400 > 800 and you'll get plenty of results. You can also opt for an adapter if you prefer. Both are also available at the Apple store online.

  • My iPhone mail app deletes emails from my hotmail. How can I get my MacBook Air mail app to do the same?

    Hi
    When using Mail on my MacBook Air (I don't open it often), i receive hundrends of emails through it, even if those messages have been deleted from my iPhone/hotmail.
    When i set up Mail on my iPhone there was an option that enabled deleted/read messages to also be deleted/read on hotmail automatically.
    I can't work out how to join up my MacBook mail with this too? Anybody know what I mean and can help??
    Thanks

    Comcast is POP email. I have it as well. POP email does not sync across devices. If I read an email on my iPad it will appear as unread on my Mac in the Mac Mail App when I launch it.That's how POP accounts work. The emails will not sync across devices.

  • I have moved from mobieme to iCloud but can not register imac

    Why am i have trouble registering my imac with iCould i have managed to configure all my other products over to iCloud but can not do the same with my imac it will not sync.  I have tried deleting and adding the account again still no luck.

    10.6.8 is not compliant with iCloud - Lion 10.7.2 is required.
    You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:

  • How can I move most used mail accounts to appear at the top of the list when I open my mail app?

    I have updated iPhone4 to IOS7 and now my mail accounts are in new order.   I have several accounts but a few that need to be the most visible.  Not sure how iPhone mail app is sorting them but it sorting it but definitely not alphabetically or by most used.  Anyway, I finally figured out how to reorder them to suit me and, since help wasn't found on forum, thought I'd share:
    Open Mail App, then use "Edit" from top right.  You'll see a 3-bar icon to the right of each mail account.  Use it to slide accounts up/down to where you want them.  Works also for any Gmail accounts you might have.
    Sometimes it's the simple things

    cor-el, thanks for the tip. While I certainly scoured Adobe's preference settings to look for something relating to that exact thing, I never went to their help site until I got your post. I found out that the floating toolbar appears because the PDF opens in'' Read Mode'', which you can turn off for all future documents by doing this:
    * Quit your internet browser
    * Launch Acrobat (or Reader)
    * Choose Edit>Preferences
    * Click on the Internet category on the left
    * Deselect “Display in Read Mode by default”
    * Click the OK button.
    * Relaunch Acrobat
    Something important to note, if you have both Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader, you need to do the above in both programs (same steps).

  • How can I access user defined column(in query) inside the trigger?

    Hi
    I have 3 unions and each query displays different records on some criteria. I also have a column hard-coded
    Ex:
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    add as update
    from table1 a
    where ...
    union
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    change as update
    from table1 a
    where ...
    union
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    del as update
    from table1 a
    where ...
    And I need to display a column in the report only if update is Add. I was thinking of writing a format trigger for that field. But I do not know how can I access this user defined column named update in the trigger?
    Any help?

    Try ":update" minus the double-quotes. Ex:
        IF :update = 'add' THEN
          RETURN(TRUE);
        ELSE
          RETURN FALSE;
        END IF;
    You'll want to place your hard-coded values in single-quotes. Ex:
        select a.col1, a.col2,
        'add' as update
