Advice to convert old iMac's Apple Works to newer MacBook Pro's Word?

Using a jump drive, I took my Apple Works documents from System 9 but they will NOT open in MS Word-for-Mac on my MacBook Pro's system 10.4.11. ANY TIPS FOR CONVERTING ? I don't want to lose these files, but I do want to lose the old iMac - it's grape!

strandra, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Did you add the AppleWorks file extension ".cwk" to the file names i.e., document.cwk)?
A possible alternative - Using AppleWorks, can you save the files in some other format, such as .doc or .rtf?
 Cheers, Tom

  • , how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

    how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

    I just tried to move my old iPhoto Library from the G4 to a new Macbook. The G4 and files were very old, from 2001.
    When I opened Iphoto for the first time, it said it needed to "upgrade" the library", so I selected OK. It gave a message that this could take an hour or longer with a lot of photos -- I have around 9,000 stored so I figured it would take awhile.
    It finished in about 3 minutes, but there were no photos or albums to be found.
    I checked on the drive and iPhoto has converted the old library files and photo files to a "package" called "iphoto library" that has no file extension.
    If I show package contents, I can see a whole raft of new files, folders etc. I can see a file in there called "library6.iphoto" Some folders appear to be organized by years, if I dig down in the folders, all the photos appear to still be present. The general size of the "package" file is almost identical to the old folder, around 25.3 megabytes, so it seems all the photos and information is there, but its just not reading it.
    Now IPhoto still says " to begin, connect a camera, drag photos to iPhoto, or import a file.....
    I downloaded the "library manager" file and pointed it at the "iphoto library" file but it does not even see it.
    Grrr... what can I do to recover this.

    I suspect security software or a firewall is your problem.

  • LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.

    LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.  Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing.  It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules.  Nothing I've tried seems to help.  It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6.  Anybody else having problems?  Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support.  Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!

    Install logs were fine.  Application installed but wouldn't run properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error.  Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/  and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders.   Runs fine now.  Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

  • YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO

    YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
    Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
    Please help I have everything possible up to date.
    Thanks!

    It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
    So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
    Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

  • IMessage not working on new Macbook Pro.

    iMessage not working on new Macbook Pro. Issue began after I downloaded latest version of Mountain Lion.  After every message it says delivered then immediately a red circle with exclamation point says message not delivered.  Any ideas?

    I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad.  Fine on iPhone.  Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day.  But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped.  And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.

  • Airplay not working on new macbook pro and apple tv2

    i have a new macbook pro and new apple tv device and have used them together easily. However, now I can't find the apple tv icon on the top bar and have searched everywhere for it, turning off and on the home sharing, restarting the apple tv. any other hints, or is it just something basic...I am new to apple products...
    Thanks

    Doing the reset resolved this issue for me as well.  Not sure why it worked over the restart, but I'll take it.
    My issue was that my MBP-R would not connect with AirPlay.  I had the icon in the top bar and everything.  When I would try to connect it, it would hang for about a minute, then just kick back with nothing happening.

  • Will a Mini-Displayport to VGA adapter work with new macbook pro 2011

    I was thinking of getting a mini-displayport to vga adapter for my external monitor I wanted to hook up but I wasnt quite sure whether it would work as my macbook pro has the new thunderbolt port, I was confused if the new port would only work with the thunderbolt displays. Could anyone help me as I'm not too sure what will work.

    I tried the Apple miniDisplayport to VGA in a Thunderbolt MBP and iMac and they both worked. Same for the Apple miniDIsplayport to DVI.

  • Front Row not working on new MacBook Pro

    Hello all,
    I cannot get Front Row to work on my new MacBook Pro. I've confirmed that my Apple Remote works using iChat's video preview to see the flashing IR transmitter. I've pressed Cmnd+esc also. I've even tried to double-click on the System >> Library >> CoreServices >> Front Row app to no avail. If someone could help me, I would appreciate it. Many thanks in advance.
    2.2 GHz Core2 Duo MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   4 GB RAM

    Front Row doesn't usually open if you double-click the application in the CoreServices folder, so that's not unusual. The one troubleshooting step I might try, before calling AppleCare Support since your computer is new, would be to use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user. Log out and log in as the new user. Can the new user open Front Row with command-esc or the remote? If so, then your original user has a preference file problem. If not, then you may need to re-install Front Row and/or Mac OS X. If your Mac is less than 90 days old, I'd call AppleCare Support and get some help from them to do that (also so they're made aware that a new computer required that in case there's an issue at the factory).

  • BURN - Sourceforge - Not Working on New Macbook Pro

    Does anyone have any suggestions for me on getting this to work?
    I just purchased a new Macbook Pro 2012, and using TDK Double Layer 8.5 gb disks DVDs.
    I took an mp4 and used their s-ware.  It converted it to mpg after I selected VIDEO and NTSC, DVD-Video in drop down box. 
    When I hit burn, I get box that selects SUPERDRIVE AND MAX SPEED 4x.  I hit burn.
    1) Get message that says authoring DVD - runs it's course
    2) Then I get a message that says "Not enough space" Try anyway.  The movie is only 40 minutes long and low quality.  8 gig's is more than enough space. (Blank DVD).
    3) I click BURN anyways.
    4) Disk sounds as if something is happening
    5) Message "Burning "Untitled" - Writing Track (with countdown)
    6) Then I get a pop up window that says 'YOU INSERTED A BLANK DVD.  Choose an action from the pop up menu or click ignore.  I click ignore.
    That's it.  I eject the DVD and try to play, but it is still blank.
    Advice? Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Install logs were fine.  Application installed but wouldn't run properly.  Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error.  Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/  and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders.   Runs fine now.  Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

  • Headphones volume controller not working on new macbook pro

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a new macbook pro (15" late 2013) and just noticed that when plugging my headphones (beats solo HD), the volume controller in the headphones doesn't change the volume of the laptop. The headphone controller works fine on my iphone, and on my older macbook pro (2010, running on mavericks too). I checked the Sound settings under System Preferences, and under the Input tab, the new macbook doesn't recognize the headphone microphone either, which my old macbook pro still does. In terms of sound, the headphones work well, and under the Output tab, the Headphones appear, as normal. The sound can also be adjusted using the keyboard keys and the volume adjust on screen, but not with the headphones volume controller, which seems odd to me.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    Thanks for your time!
    Melissa

    Hi,
    I also noticed this... when I use my old earphones (the white Apple ones that come with the iphone) on my new laptop, everything works fine, including the microphone, volume control, skipping songs... etc. But my other headphones are not recognised at all, just as audio output and nothing else.
    My old macbook, however, still fully recognizes both my old earphones and my "troublesome" Beats headphones, even after the latest system update, as does my iphone
    So I still don't know what is happening.
    Just telling you this so that you make 100% sure your earphones are faulty before discarding them!

  • Old ipod won't mount to new macbook pro

    Hello, I just set up my new MacBook Pro, and when I try to connect my ipod, it won't mount either to the desktop or into iTunes. the screen of the ipod says "do not disconnect" just like with the old computer... and I transferred my account and music and settings from the old one to the new one.
    anyone have any ideas?
    thanks,
    Bruce
    Oh yeah... it's a 40 Gig with a scroll wheel... not sure the "name" of the generation, it says "copyright 2003" on the back.
    and my new shuffle works just fine with the new computer...

    Which version of iTunes does your new MacBook have? You will probably want to update it if it isn't 9.2. Do that first. Also, restart your MacBook book. That will make sure that everything else is working properly as well (I'm thinking USB ports).
    If your touch is still not recognized, you will need to make sure that Apple Mobile Device Services is running properly on the MacBook. See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747
    And if you are close to an Apple store and tired of playing with it, make an appointment with Genius and take your MacBook and touch in and let Apple fix it.

  • Apple Bluetooth Keyboard + new MacBook Pro incompatible on wake from sleep

    Hello all
    I've seen a few discussions on the web re this issue, but no resolutions.
    I've been using a 4 year-old (white) Apple Bluetooth Keyboard for some time with my Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and never had an issue with it. Just upgraded to a new Core i5 Unibody MacBook Pro and I'm having problems.
    Everything's fine on startup but as soon as my MBP goes to sleep and I wake it back up, I get repeating keystrokes (even though I'm not touching any keys) and the keyboard is unusable until I physically turn it off and then on again.
    Just to preempt the responses I've seen to this issue elsewhere: (1) the keyboard's batteries are good, (2) the keyboard still operates perfectly if I associate it with the old MBP, but as soon as I associate it back to the new one the issues are still there, (3) there is nothing causing radio interference around my desk (and as I said it works fine with the older mac).
    Does anyone know of any bluetooth issues on new MacBook Pros that could cause this?.
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this issue.
    Darren

    It's not a solution more an observation, but the newer bluetooth (aluminium) keyboards and magic trackpads do not exhibit this behaviour (so it looks like it's specific to that older keyboard for some reason)

  • How do I get my old iphone to sync with my new Macbook Pro?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?
