Appleworks 6.2.2 won't work w. OSX 10.5.4

Ever since I got a new iMac running OSX 10.5.4 Appleworks 6.2.2 has had problems. It quits unexpectedly in the middle of a task, I cannot quit except by using force quit, and it frequently won't launch. I cannot reinstall from disks as this was put on my mac when I migrated the contents of an old HD to this machine via firewire. I have installed NeoOffice, but it will not open Appleworks files. Is my only option buying iWork? I hate buying software when I have some that is perfectly fine for my needs when it works.I have hundreds of important business documents in Appleworks that I must keep and use.

The earliest stable version of AppleWorks in OS X is 6.2.4. The latest version is 6.2.9. Both work well in any version of OS X. Here is the page with the links I have for the 6.2.9 updater. The page has a link to the North American updater in the upper right (the blue 15.8 MB) & links to other languages further down. AppleWorks 6.2.9 for Mac.
If you have any ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files that have not been converted to at least AppleWorks 5, the best choice is AppleWorks 6.2.4. E-mail me if you need the 6.2.4 updater & I'll see if I can locate it. Click my name in blue next to this post. My public e-mail address is in the biography section. Just replace (AT) with @.
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. This step should also be done anytime AppleWorks has crashed.

Isight won't work in OSX, works in boot camp (XP SP3)

Hi everyone,
Within the last few weeks, my iSight camera stopped working. I went through every troubleshooting step recommended by Apple with no luck. I gave up hope and was ready to take it to the Apple store, but decided to see if it would work in windows... strangely enough it works great, but still won't work in OSX. I'd like to avoid taking it to the store, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome to Discussions, bluejayDDS
... I'd like to avoid taking it to the store ...
You can the following three things (listed in order of increasing effort on your part) before seeking professional help:
(1) Apply the latest (10.5.7) Combo Updater using the following procedure:
• Backup all your important files.
• Use your Mac's Disk Utility to Repair disk permissions (different from repairing the "disk").
• Download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.7 Combo Update.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
• Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that completes the install.
(Don't worry about corrections if Disk Utility reports that all repairs have been completed.)
• Launch only the OS X app you are trying to use with iSight and test to see if iSight works correctly.
Using the above process to apply the Combo Updater sometimes solves problems that occur after using your Mac's Software Update... to update Mac OS.
(2) If your problem still exists, reinstall OS X using the "Archive and Install" options explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be certain that you have backed up all important files before you reinstall OS X.
(3) If your problem is not resolved by Archive and Install, you can completely Erase and Install all your Mac's software.
Erasing your iMac's hard disk and reinstalling all software as described in the Erase and Install section of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1545 might correct a problem that remains after an Archive and Install.
Erase and Install is a lot of work, but sometimes it is the only way to get rid of something on the disk that is causing problems.
(4) If none of that works, see your Apple Service Technician for professional help.

Epson scanner 2450 won't work in OSX 1.5.2

I am trying to install my epson perfection 2450 scanner on my Mac Pro with OSX 1.5.2 but it won't work.
I was able to install the driver a couple of times but I couldn't get the scanner to show up in the import options in Photoshop as it does in Windows. It worked from its own scan window OK.
I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it a few times to see if it worked but now it doesn't even want to load the basic scan interface.
Also, the Smart panel app that is supposed to enable scanning from within programs like Photoshop or Word doesn't seem to exist.
The drivers at Epson UK are from 2004 and those on the US website are from 2006. The documentation says that it should work in OSX.
Can anyone please advise on what I need to do or if this scanner is able to scan in OSX 1.5.2?
It's a good scanner and I can't afford to go out and buy another one just to for OSX.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi. I had the same problem with the Epson 2450 using Photoshop CS3. I found this solution. Open Image Capture app and go to the preferences box. Tick the box for Image Capture to open up when scanner is connected. Turn on scanner and it should recognise scanner and open window box. From there you can set your preference and for it to open with Photoshop after scanning. I hope this helps as it has for me.

Any reason why Quicken 2003 won't work on OSX 10.4?

I need to install some version of Quicken on my mini, but don't want to purchase Quicken until they produce an Intel version. I just use it for checking. Am considering buying Quicken 2003 for mac on ebay. Will this work with OSX 10.4? Thanks,
Owen

Kappy,
I marker this response as solved because I thought that what you said was correct. I just looked at the Quicken Support:
https://quicken.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/quicken.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=4014&p_created=1137099411&p_sid=9RFCSgti&p_accessibility=0&p_lva =3793&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MSZwX3Byb2RzP Tk1LDU1MSZwX2NhdHM9JnBfcHY9Mi41NTEmcF9jdj0mcF9wYWdlPTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1pbnRlb A**&p_li=&ptopview=1
This is what it says:
"Quicken for Mac is not a universal binary program and will not run natively on an Intel based Mac. All Intel based Macs come equipped with Rosetta software that enables non-universal binary programs to run on Intel Macs. There are no known issues specific to using Quicken 2006 and later on an Intel Mac with Rosetta."
What is the source of your info? Thanks,

Clamshell mode won't work with OSX Lion

I am running a 2010 13" Macbook Pro and a Dell ST2410 23" external display. I have been using an HDMI to mini displayport cable with this setup for over a year without a problem. Now my monitor goes dark when I try to setup the MBP in clamshell mode. I even tried to lower the resolution on the monitor to see if that would remedy it, and it won't display anything. This problem first started when I upgraded to 10.6.8, and now is giving me problems in 10.7. Help!

assuming that you have an external monitor (you said 23"), usb kbd & mouse. How do you start it up?
I always opened the lid, hit the power and quickly closed before the chime would sound. Do you boot OS X up, then close the lid? Or do you do it as I do?
My PB is on 10.6.8 and never had any issues, besides running a little hotter..

HT202879 iWorks '09 won't work on OSX 10.8.5, even after the update.

Recently, I updated my MBP to OSX 10.8.5, Mountain Lion, and none of the iWorks '09 applications will open, e.g. Keynote, Numbers, Pages. I used a an iWorks '09 version that I had on my iMac, OSX 10.6.8, Snow Leopard. After migrating the software from my iMac onto the MBP, I ran the update right away. It is now updated to 4.3, the latest version. However, I am getting the same error I got before running the iWorks update. The error reads as follows:
Keynote (or any of the other iWorks applications) cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure (Keynote) works with the version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates from the application and OSX. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling iWorks '09 several times, but to no avail. I have also read other Apple forum postings about the subject, but none of them seem very clear on how to fix the problem. Is there anyone, who could help me with this?
Thank you in advance!

Donkey,
I think you may be leaving out some details that would be helpful in determining what has gone wrong.
iWork apps seem to prefer being reinstalled from the original media when being put on a new computer, rather than using migration tools or simply copying them to the new machine.
Apple applications are updated via Software Update, and if version the only problem that may fix it.

HP Scan 3 won't work with OSX 10.9.2

I have an HP Deskjet 3050A All-In-One and recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.9.2 Printer will print but scanner will not, error message about "checking with developer for compatiblity with OS" upon attempting to open. Latest printer scanner software listed in Apple Support for Print/Scan is Version 2.3.1 which is what I have.
I have run softwre updates.
Anyone have a solution?

Hi @RoscoeSweeny
There is no full feature software and driver available from HP, but the OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU).
With this driver you can still print and scan, you just wont have HP software to scan from. Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is only available when using HP Scan software, thus it will not work because there is no HP scan software as apart of the Apple Software Update driver.
Instead, you can scan using,
Method one: Scan from the Print & Scan window
Method two: Scan from Apple Preview
Method three: Scan from Apple Image Capture
I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions are have any difficulty using any of these methods, please let me know what method you are trying and what the issue/error is. You may also find the following document helpful; OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac

DVD player won't work on OSX 10.9.1

When I loaded OS X 10.9.1, I am now unable to play videos on my MacBook Pro. Is there any updates so I can get it to work?

I upgraded to OSX Mavericks (10.9.1) on my MacBook Pro last Wednesday, January 8th, and since then I am also having the same issue with my DVD player not working since the upgrade. There are no error messages, the drive just kicks out the DVD. CD's work fine, though. And yes, I have checked my settings in the System Preferences and they are all set correctly.
Any help would be appreciated, but I may just end up taking my laptop to the Apple Store geniuses to see if they can sort it out...

Acer LCD screen won't work with osx?

I've just bought an Acer H243H LCD screen, and when i plug it in via HDMI, I get a 'no signal' message... Granted, I should have checked for compatibility before buying it, but my macbook plugs into out LCD tv via HDMI with no worries... Acer don't provide an osx driver, so I'm wondering of theres a genius out there who can help me make this work... It's such a pretty monitor, it'd be a shame to throw it out... Your help would be much appreciated.
Jake

Try connecting to the DVI port instead of the HDMI port. The Acer may not have a plug-and-display driver behind its HDMI port.

Acrobat Standard 6 won't work with OSX Lion

I just downloaded OSX Lion and my Acrobat Standard 6 no longer works. What to do now? I hadn't upgraded along the way, so how can I know get an application to create pdf files on my Mac?

Acrobat 6 Standard or deluxe are PowerPC Programs. They've been runing in an emulation mode called Rosetta since OSX.6 OSX.7 Lion is pure Intel only. and Rosetta has been discontinued.
If you need PowerPC applications You are either going to have to revert back to Snow Leopard. Or buy you an external Drive install OSX 6 or lower on it and run your PowerPC apps from there.
You may discover many of the applications you depend upon if you haven't kept them upgraded have quit work as well. You can do about the same thing with standard in The Mac Directly. Standard didn't have Forms capability.
Just go to Print Menu click on PDF and choose desired PDF. I would suggest though If you seriously want to have PDF and Forms Capability to Upgrade to AcrobatX. There is so much more you can do with PDF's than with 6 Standard.

Energy saver won't work in OSX 10.4.11

I have a Dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5.
Energy Saver crashes every time I try to access it in System Preferences even after reinstalling OSX.

Hello, try this...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these files to the Desktop.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist
(Then Trash the original of these last two, as "moving" them only copies them.)
Then reboot once more.

QuickTIme Pro Windows Key Not Working in OSX

Is this intentional and is there a way to get a key for both if you purchased or do you have to purchase twice?

For Qt 7 Pro key:
Sorry the Pro keys are not cross-platform. meaning you have to buy the Pro key for different OSs.
Except in OSX, the OSX Pro key in will work in either Panther, Tiger or Leopard. And the same with Windows different OSs.
A Window's key won't work in OSX and OSX won't work in Windows.

HP LaserJet Pro C1415fn color MFP - fax won't work

I have a LaserJet Pro CM1415fn color MFP on a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. I've been using the printer for two years now.
At the moment the fax function only works if I use it manually (i.e. if I place a sheet of paper on the scanner, select the "Fax" button on the printer touch pad and dial the number). However, if I want to send a fax via the PC interface, it won't work.
For example, if I open a PDF, click on "Print" and select "HP LaserJet Professional CM 1410 Series Fax", nothing happens -- no window/interface will open. If I select "HP Send Fax" or "HP Fax Setup Wizard" from the program menu, nothing happens.
I've always been sending faxes this way and I just don't know what happened... Can anyone please help?
Thanks in advance!
Claudia

Hi @Clabee ,
I see that you can't fax from the PC anymore. I can help you with this.
If this just recently happened, I would do a System Restore back to when everything was working properly.
System Restore for Windows 7.
If you would prefer not to do the System Restore, uninstall and reinstall the printer software. It might become corrupted.
Here are the steps to run the uninstall from the computer or the CD.
To uninstall from program files:
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
Select the C drive.
Select program files or program files x86.
Open the HP and printer name folder.
Select uninstall.
Uninstall the software from the CD:
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
Disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software. How to use MSCONFIG .
Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
Download, save and install the latest drivers.
HP LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw Color Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Test the printer and try sending a fax again from the PC.
Then you will need to go back in and enable the start up programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

IPhoto and Apple ID won't work after system update

I've recently updated my MacBook Air to OS X v10.9.4. iPhoto won't work as i am currently using v9.2. I've tried downloading a later version but have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer. NB. I have an iPhone but have not used the Apple ID on this - to my knowledge, or another Apple ID on my system. I'm a basic level user so any advice on this would be great.
Many thanks,
Elza

have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer
Advised how, exactly?
