AppleWorks 6.2.9 still quits - request more help from Peggy and Barry

Appleworks6 will not launch
Thanks to Peggy and Barry I am further along in getting AppleWorks 6, release 6.2.9 to work. However, things are still not working.
Peggy, I took your suggestion from my last post (Feb 18-19)about dragging the AppleWorks 6 application from the AppleWorks 6 folder to the Dock. Now when I click once on the AppleWorks 6 icon, the application just bounces once. The menu at the top of the desktop stays on the Finder menu.
Let me give you some more information about the iMac setup, because I followed your suggestions about removing Recent Items files. This did not resolve the problem for getting the AppleWorks 6 application to start.
I have the AppleWorks 6 folder as:
Mac HD>applications>AppleWorks 6
In the Appleworks 6 folder
AppleWorks 6 application
Late-Breaking News folder – 2 items
AppleWorks Essentials folder – 9 items
Clippings folder – 14 items
Starting Points folder – 5 items
AppleWorks 6 Installer log written with TextEdit– dated 12/11/04
On Mac HD/Users/userfile/LibraryPreferences – no file for com.apple.AppleWorks.plist
Under Mac HD>Documents>AppleWorks User Data folder
There are three folders: AutoSave, Starting Points, Clippings
AutoSave folder has zero items
Starting Points folder – has three folders: Cache, Disabled Items, Recent Items
Cache – three folders
Folder 484B1CeC32D183Dba11d8c00b40954
Header.cache dated Dec 21/2004
Templates6-1cwk.gz 0GZIP file
Folder 86B7AA87566C7DBA41B2D8825E0724
Containing header.cache
And newsletter6-1.cwk.gz
Folder D1F3FFE1…
Containing header.cache
and extras6.cwk.gz
Disabled Items folder – containing zero items
Recent Items folder – containing zero items
Clippings folder
Cache folder -0 items
Disabled Items folder – 0 items
Also, on Mac HD>SystemFolder>Preferences>AppleWorks – AppleWorks 6 Button Bars and file called AppleWorks 6 Preferences and AppleWorks 6 Fonts
Should I delete the Mac HD>Documents>AppleWorks User Data\Starting Points folder and the Mac HD>Documents>AppleWorks User Data\Clippings folder? Wouldn’t the AppleWorks 6 application then pick up the correct Starting Points and Clippings folders from Mac HD>applications>Appleworks 6 folder?
Thanks,
Bruce

Does AppleWorks launch if you double-click the icon in the Finder? It may be an OS issue rather than an AppleWorks one. So, the first thing I suggest is repairing permissions using Disk Utility. Then, unless you leave your Mac on 24/7 & not asleep, run a utility to run the UNIX cron routines & clean caches. Try a search on MacUpdate or VersionTracker for maintenance utilities such as OnyX or Yasu.
Also, make sure your hard drive isn't too full. It depends on how you use your computer, but for most normal users a minimum of 5 gigs free space at all times after installation is recommended. Power users may need more.
If this still doesn't work, repairing your hard drive with Disk Utility may help. Start up your Mac from the first Panther (10.3.x) install disk. Then, instead of running the installer, go to the Installer menu & choose Disk Utility. Select your hard drive in the left-hand panel & click Repair Disk. When it is done, quit Disk Utility then quit Installer & restart your Mac.
It certainly won't hurt to delete both of the AppleWorks User Data folders. One is for OS 9/Classic & the other, in your documents folder, is for OS X. Actually, there would be one in each user's documents folder if you have more than one user.

  • I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake. I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to PC, Fix ?

    I've just bought an iPhone 5S in the UK, seems like a big mistake, but luckily by law we can return goods, which is exactly what is going to happen if I cant get this to work. This is my business phone, not having it functional can cost me money.
    I have turned off sync to icloud from the phone for both my contacts and calendar, as told on itunes. However, iTunes still says they are synced from iCloud and wont sync to my PC, why and how do I fix it so that it doesnt go to iCloud for anything ?
    The phone currently has no contacts or calendar information installed.
    PC is HP Probook 4730s running Windows 7, Professional, version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601.

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • TS4009 i bought more storage from iclouds and it is not going to the storage please help me!!!

    i bought more storage from iclouds and its not showing that i have more storage what do i do????

    What do you mean by "its not showing that i have more storage"?
    The storage you but on iCloud should show on iCloud and not on your device.
    There is no way to increase the amount of storage on an iPhone short of selling the old one and buying a new one with more storage.

    Network: Allow others to join/play game (This is gonna be HUGE probably), while host decides on game type.
    Thanks for all the help so far!

    Where does moving ever get started? Why does Move extend Thread instead of implementing Runnable? (Implementing runnable is preferred and often the correct way to do it and it is in this case)
    But regardless there shoud be a moving.start() somewhere or start of the Thread that has the Runnable target Move.... I don't think I see one. Unless I missed it.
    so...itll work if i change the setup to Runnable?

  • How do I save a still that I have extracted from iMovie and save it to iPhoto?

    I'm trying to save a still that I have extracted from imovie.  So far, all I can see is that it can be saved in the imovie project.  I need to save it to iphoto.  Any help would be appreciated.  I'm running Lion and have aperture too.

    Imovie 11? It isn't that easy. You could navigate to the movie event, drag that into Streamclip, and use MPeg streamclip to make a still from the movie. The freeze frame isn't a photo you can get out of imovie, as far as I know.
    Here is a youtube video on how to do it with iMovie 11.

  • Quite suddenly, after a year or so, I cannot access the iTunes store.  I have uninstalled iTunes and downloaded itunes 10.4.  Windows is up to date.  I've requested help from Apple and iTunes support to no avail.  They replied but nothing worked.

    Just before the problem occurred, a message appeared, "Your request could not be completed.  The item you've requested is not currently available in the US store."  Has anone had this problem, and if so, how did you solve it?

    I have the same problem.  Everything else in iTunes works fine, but when I go to the iTunes store, I just get the blank page labeled "iTunes Store."  I don't get an error or anything, it just stops there.  Or, like today, I tried to download a digital copy of a movie, and I got as far as having iTunes try to connect to the store again, and the little box came up with "Connecting to the iTunes Store" title, and the little green dots running across to tell me that it is still trying to connect.  That box just sat there and ran for 4-5 minutes, to no avail.  Also, and I don't know if it is connected to this issue or not, but AppleMobileDevice.exe kicks in everytime iTunes starts and ***** up 99% of my CPU.  And if I end that program, then iTunes starts using the 99%, even though it isn't doing anything.  I've had this problem for at least 3 or 4 months.  I hope someone comes up with an answer; iTunes is losing my business, as I cannot shop or browse or anything.

  • I almost erased all files in my iPhone 5, and try to used erase all content and settings, just in case it would not take long to reboot. Still it is more than 3 hours and nothing happens.

  • Request more Experience Manager Templates and Cartridges

    Hi all,
    are there any more sample templates and cartridges besides the one for wine sample application?
    Can anyone provide more ?
    Thank you
    BCHK

    John P and I were able to get these 3 editors working with the sample wine project that comes with Experience Manager Extensions 2.1.2. These should work out of the box.
    The snag we hit was that there were multiple PBX versions on the host previously so the Sling JCR had become corrupt with different config files over time/version. If you want to be sure you have a fresh Sling JCR, you can stop the Endeca Tools Service and delete the contents of the Sling directory on disk (On windows this is found in C:\Windows\System32\sling for example. In linux I believe it's found beneath the Workbench directory of ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF/state (I don't have linux version readily available so may be off a directory or two)). When you reinstall the extensions, the correct Sling content should be created.
    To ensure you have have wiped away traces of previous PBX config, beyond deleting the Sling directory manually you can delete the cached Tomcat files beneath ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF/work and also be sure to clear your web browser cache. This should get rid of any old cached configurations and allow you to set up Experience Manager Extensions 2.1.2 freshly. This worked for us in getting these 3 editors usable in Experience Manager.

  • My enrollment is still pending. No help from Apple.

    I applied for membership for the iOS Developer Program on the 8th of July, 2014. I also received an email from Apple confirming the same, telling me my order request would be processed within 2 business days. However nothing has happened yet. When I log into the member center it says that I still need to purchase and activate my membership in order to join.
    I have also written in to Apple's Support ( case number 633607559) but have not received a reply.
    Does anybody have any advice on what else i should do?
    Thank You.

    Apple couldn't put this information somewhere with the package when you buy it from them
    What information? That they can't track your iPod if it's stolen? Does your car company put a note on the dashboard that they can't track your car if it's stolen? Does the manufacturer of your television, blender, etc?
    They can't send me a message saying "your Ipod was sync'd to a computer here"
    No, they can't. That would be considered by many people to be a major invasion of privacy and people would be up in arms if they learned that this sort of information was being sent to Apple every time an iPod was synched to a computer.
    And Apple has no way of knowing that you are still the legal owner of any given iPod, so there's no way they can give any sort of private information such as sync or location, even if they had it, to any individual. They can and will assist a legitimate law enforcement entity if the police request it, but the chances are slim that your local police will have the resources to take the time to contact any manufacturer of a stolen product, and it's limited to searching the service database to see if anyone has brought in that device for service.
    Sorry, I really sympathize with your loss, but there's just nothing Apple can legally or technically do.

  • More help with visible and hidden fields

    Looking for the script that will let me click a button and then show hidden text fields.
    Here's what I want to do:
    I have a text field on my form that if another text field is needed, the user clicks the "Add another Case" button and the hidden text field will appear.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks.
    Basically, I have several needs on this form:
    First,  I only want a text field to be visible if the Add New button is selected.  Otherwise I need the text field hidden.
    Secondly, I have several text fields where I need to allow for multiple entries of the same type of information.  Such as Party Information (which consists of name, address, city, state, etc.)  There will be more than one party, so I would need the form to record the first information for the party, then the user clicks Add Another Party......which then clears the previous information allowing for the user to enter the next party info, and so on.
    I'm sure this is all basic stuff, but as I said, I'm new to this and just need to be set in the right direction.  Not sure how to get you the form.
    Thanks a bunch
