AppleWorks 6.2.7 won't run on new Macbook / Leopard

Hi,
I've just migrated from a G4 iBook to a 2.2GHz Macbook and while AppleWorks (v 6.2.7) installed OK, when I try to run it the application quits immediately.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
I suspect the problem is one or more of the following:
Recent Items: This is a bug to which AppleWorks seems to have become more sensitive with each step forward in Mac OS X. An excess of items in your Recent Items folder can slow AppleWorks to the point where it will crash on opening.
Cure: Delete all or most of the items from your Recent Items folder.
Location: MAC HD > yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items
Corrupt Preferences file(s): Many AppleWorks problems are due to corruption of the AW .plist file or one of the other preference files that AppleWorks keeps for each user. Deleting the preference files is a task that should be done whenever AW crashes.
Location: MAC HD > yourname > Library > Preferences
Action 1: Delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist at this location
Action 2: Open the folder AppleWorks at this location. Delete the contents, with one possible exception: If you have made changes to the Button Bar, don't delete the Button Bar preferences file.
Permissions: A maintenance item for OS X (before and ) after any major installation, including installing new software.
Action: Launch Disk Utility, found in Applications > Utilities. Select your hard drive from the list at the left, click First Aid (if it's not already selected), then click Repair Permissions.
Unicode: AppleWorks is not Unicode compatible, and will crash on the first keystroke in any text environment (word processor, text frae in drawing, etc.)
Action: Open System Preferences > International... Input menu. Choose one of the "Roman" keyboard layouts.
Regards,
Barry
PS: AW 6.2.7 is NOT recommended as it is probably the most bug-filled recent version of AW 6. See my post (third from the top) in THIS THREAD for links to updaters.

My processer won't run the new update ?

I have an iBook G4. After downloading the new version of Firefox it will not run so I have to continue with the older version. I continuously get messages telling me my version is out of date which is getting annoying.
Apple want me to buy a new computer at about £1000 which I can't afford.even if I could, the old programmes won't run on new processors so I would the have to buy them all again. not a good AD for apple? Greed rears it's ugly head!!!.
Thanks in anticipation. Regards Geoff Downend.

Aps won't run on new iphone4s

I bought a iphone4s, did a backup of my iphone4 and then a restore to the iphone4s, and now none of my aps will run - they flash the screen and then back to the home page. If I double click the home key they show along the bottom, but won't run. Any ideas?

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

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.

New iPod Touch won't sync to new Macbook Pro?

I'm getting really frustrated because Wednesday a brand new Macbook Pro and today I got a brand new iPod Touch. I connect it to my computer and it chimes, shows that it's charging, but doesn't show in itunes. The screen on my iPod is the "connect to iTunes" screen. I've tried restarting the iPod & computer, connecting & reconnecting the USB cable, switching ports, etc. I really don't understand why two new devices don't work together. Any help??

Prior Cloned Drive(s) won't recognize on New Macbook Pro

Just bought a new (mid-2012) 13" MBP 2.9GHz i7; tried to either:
swap it's drive with my prior (late-2011) MacBook Pro 13" (which I've swapped without issue before);
it yet it only shows a circle with a diagonal line through it (meaning it doesn't see the drive)?
I've always done this with a couple of my SuperDuper! (Lion 10.7.4) cloned drives before; yet this new macbook pro isn't recognizing them internally. They DO show up via Firewire/USB from my External; yet I am NOT able to boot from the External (as I used to be able to prior this new mbp).
Also, please note:
- I've used Disk Utilities (showing no issue).
- I zapped the PRAM immediately.
- The new Mac came with 10.7.3 (and my drives were 10.7.4).
- I've updated this shipped drive to 10.7.4 (command-r).
- I've tried to hold down the c-key upon startup.
Does anyone know why I could swap drives to my prior mbp; (as well as Boot from my External, but not with my new mbp?
Any suggestions to solve this are most welcome, thanks!

No, because in order to download it you must be using the new computer. Now, if you have an external enclosure for your existing drive, then you can connect it to the new computer and reinstall Lion. Since you would be booted on the new computer's Recovery HD, this would download and install the version of Lion compatible with your new computer onto the selected drive of your choice, such as the old drive in the external enclosure.
The essential process:
Reinstalling Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Of course you would change the target drive to the external drive before starting the installation. Reinstalling may take upwards of an hour to complete excluding the time needed to download Lion.

Capt. Lou, welcome to discussions. However, you need to be a little more clear.
When you say everything, what everythings have you tried?
What I have done:
Reinstalled CS3
Repair Permissions
Boot into Disk Warrior and Repair Disk
Boot into Leopard disk and run Disk Repair
What I have not done:
Archive and reinstall operating system: Leopard
Remove 3rd Party Ram
Issues I am having besides CS3 not opening:
Missing PDF tab on Print Dialog
Computer won't go into sleep mode
Mail won't remember junk email
I don't have any of these problems on my MBP. Go figure.

I'm a developer I just bought a new laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service pack 1. I downloaded Firefox 11.0 and downloaded and installed the Adobe Flash plugin! I’ve tried just about everything to get the plugin working but Firefox tells me I have an old version and has turned it off for security reasons. I have included the Flash registry settings and the Flash install log. Dell install a version of flash but it looks like the ActiveX not the Plugin Dll. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and Flash many times it still won’t work. Firefox is no good to me without this plugin. Any help would be appreciated.

HP4560US won't run on new battery

I replaced my battery and let it charge until the charge light turned green before I used the new battery. My notebook also has a weak power jack and sometimes will quit powering the notebook until it is moved or twisted. Even with a full charge, it will only run for about 30 seconds if the AC power fails or if I try to run it on battery power only. I pulled the fully charged battery from the computer and pressed the test button on the side of the battery and it lit all but the last LED. Is the battery not charging sufficiently or is there a setting the allows changing the voltage level of a fully charged battery? In Power Management I have disabled all shut down options in an attempt to see how long it would run on battery alone.

The information you requested is as follows: Model Number is HP Pavillion ze4500 s/n CNF3432HP8 P/N DM736A#ABA ze4560US. There has been no new hardware OR drivers added recently. The operating system is Windows XP Home with the latest Service Pack.
However, while looking the computer over and the labels, I think I have found the problem. I won't know until I can get another charger which I have ordered. The plug on the power supply has a yellow plastic insulator that extended beyond the barrel of the connector. I had known for a long time that part of that had broken off. I DID NOT know where that piece had gone, thinking it broke in handling the power supply. I happened to look into the power jack (which is HPs weak point on all of their laptops....at least up to this model. I have replaced that jack at least twice and I believe a third time but there is barely enough to solder to the main board and I hesitated to try to replace it again) and found that broken ring of plastic inside the jack. I believe that power jack has a switch on it operated bye the insertion of the plug to charge the battery and I'm guessing that the ring is not allowing the battery to be connected to the mainboard when the AC power fails. I removed the battery to prevent a short while trying to remove the broken piece but failed to remove it. I have some other ideas to try but decided that I should wait until I receive a new power supply since after I run the battery down it may not recharge once that is removed.
Let me know what you think and I'll let you know how things turn out. If you believe I'm wrong about this, I'm open to any other thoughts. Thanks, Ron

Photoshop CS3 installs but won't run on new OS install

Hello,
I've been searching through the forums and have seen some users with a similar problem, but haven't found any info that's relevant to my situation.
I have done a fresh install of Windows XP Pro SP2 and decided to install a brand-new copy of CS3 at the same time.
This computer is totally fresh - there are no printers, no TWAIN drivers, no funny fonts or games installed. The only software on this machine is Windows and whatever updates Windows Update has pushed out.
The Photoshop installer runs fine - no crashes or error messages. However, when I try to start up Photoshop, I just get the outer frame of the app window and (usually) the File / Edit / Image / Layer... menu bar. There is no splash screen, and no palettes appear. If I click anywhere in the app window, the menu bar disappears and the title bar says "Not responding".
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling from both the DVD and the web download. I've tried selecting the "repair" option on the install screen. I've tried downloading and installing the 10.0.1 update.
I tried installing Lightroom and Reader to see if those work (they do).
I tried installing the latest video driver for my gfx card.
None of these change the behaviour I've been seeing at all. I opened a support case with Adobe about 4 days ago but haven't gotten a response yet.
Any thoughts? I was able to run PS CS1 on this computer just fine before I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
Thanks,
Thomas Park

Hi Guys,
Ive got the same problems as you, Win XP SP2 on RAID 1 hard disk set on an AMD raid controller, but I have no driver to roll-back to.
Ive installed Photoshop CS3 and also Acrobat Standard 8 (which used to run fine on an old system), but all i get now is the blank window with the menu and title bar and thats all.
Can some one help? (will this licensing patch resolve the issue - and where can i get it from?)
Thanks

Lightroom 3 won't run on my Macbook Pro

I just installed Lightroom3 on my Macbook Pro. Lightroom asked me to download 3.6 in the process, which I did. My operating system is OS10.7.5 Lion. When I tried to import photos from IPhoto, Lightroom does not recognize the application! I also tried importing from an SD card. Although Lightroom recognized the SD card, it would not import any of the photos. Obviously I can't use Lightroom if it won't import any photos. Help!

My files are jpegs. Lightroom recognizes by SD card and a desktop folder into which I have exported photos from IPhoto. BUT Lightroom will not import the files whether from IPhoto, SD card or desktop folders. I have not tried attaching camera because Lightroom recognizes my SD card as a "Canon..."

FCP HD won't run on new alu iMac 20"

I'd be interested to know if anybody has a work around for this problem: I just purchased a new 20" aluminium iMac and installed my copy of FCP 4.5 HD - BUT - I get an error message stating that FCP can't open because there's no AGP card!
I've been using an eMac G4 with FCP 4.5 HD and it's been great for what I need. Now I buy a new iMac and I get this error. Are you kidding me Apple?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Oliver, I followed the link to http://www.geekymac.com/?p=243 and made the code changes (like we did back in the day when iDVD wouldn't run on a Mac without a superdrive) and now FCP opens just fine. Hopefully this will help others with the same predicament and performance will be satisfactory.

Microsoft Office won't run on new computer

I bought a new G5 and did the complete disk transfer when I booted the new system up. Now I'm getting a message that says the "test drive" of Office is complete and I need to register a new product. Can anyone tell me why this is and how I fix it without having to buy another very expensive software package.

I just got a Mac mini and had the same problem. On investigating my Applications folder, it seemed that I'd transferred the old Microsoft Office stuff okay through my firewire, but there was also a 'test drive' version of it in there as well. This meant I could open Word / Excel etc fine from the dock, and then open documents within it, but if I tried to click on a document in the finder window or on the desktop, I got the 'test drive has expired' message.
Deleting the test drive version seems to have got round the problem. (Although just occasionally a file won't open, and gives me some other kind of error message which I can't remember, and of course it won't do it now!)
However, one problem I am having is that it won't automatically open Word attachments in Mail, and I have to manually tell it which program to use every time. Anyone know how to fix this one?

Moneywell won't run on new computer

I just purchased a new imac. I transferred applications from my macminit from a backup drive. When I try to run the Moneywell application, it wants me to log into the Mac App store and install it. The Mac App Store application says it is installed. So far, everything else I purchased from the app store works.

This thread concerns applications for Mac.
The problem was generated when using the migration assistant on a disk from my previous computer. This resulted in the situation where the Mac App Store thinks the application is installed, but when running the application, the application code sees itself as not installed correctly. Simply deleting the versions did not work. The Mac App Store still found the application installed. The problem was resolved by searching the disk to find associated configuration files. Once these were deleted, the Mac App Store sees the application as uninstalled and will allow the application to be installed.
Thank You.
