AppleWorks 6 and Microsoft Office in Mavericks?

I want to upgrade my 13" MacBook Air from OS 10.6.8 to Mavericks, but I need to continue using AppleWorks 6.2.9 and Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. How can this be accomplished?

Neither will work in any version of OS X after Snow Leopard.
Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Yes. I ran it successfully on Mountain Lion and had no problems when I upgraded to Mavericks. Be sure to apply the latest software updates.

Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

hi tuggerose
i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

IMovie and Microsoft Office NOT WORKING! PLEASE HELP!

Just recently, out of nowhere, my iMovie and Microsoft Office stopped working; they won't turn on. I have Leopard 10.5, and they had been working on it since recently. Whenever I start iMovie, the "This program has quit unexpectedly" window comes up. Here's what I did. Firstly, I reported the problem to Apple and tried relaunching the program. That didn't work. Then, I deleted anything I had downloaded recently that may have affected it. Nothing. Next, I tried going into Library>Preferences and deleting all files with "iMovie" in the name. Nada. I then opened up disk utility and repaired disk permissions; yup, you guessed it, it didn't work. Finally, I archived and reinstalled Leopard, but it's still not working.
As for Microsoft Office, I have only reported the problem and deleted recent downloads. I haven't tried anything else (excluding the Leopard thing) to fix Office.
Please help ASAP! I need both of these applications for an upcoming project... and I may have to see a Mac Genius after this...
This is my last hope!
Thank you so much!
My AIM is tas121694 and email is [email protected]
Thanks again,

Well, that tells us that it's most likely something in your user account and not with iMovie or Office in general. If you need to get your videos edited right away and don't have time for troubleshooting, you can transfer them to the other account by copying them into the Users -> Shared folder. That would allow you to have access to them from the working account.
As to fixing the problem, you might try asking in the iMovie forum. It's possible that you have a corrupted project that iMovie keeps trying to open by default and that deleting that project might fix the problem. I'm not an iMovie user, though, so I'm not sure. Asking in the iMovie forum will probably get you more informed suggestions.
As to Office, what version is it, and do none of the applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage) launch, or is it just some and if so which one(s)?

MacBook Pro 2011- Allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think). After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.

I have a MacBook Pro 2011. I allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think). After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle. No progression bar ever appeared. It just sits and spins. I tried rebooting with Command + Option + R + P and hearing the chime twice....this did not work.
I also tried Command +Option+R which took me to internet recovery. From there, I chose reinstall Mac OS X Lion 10.7 but it says my hard drive is locked so I wasnt able to select it. What do I do???? Help! I don't want to lose my files and it doesnt appear that I've used Time Machine Back Up.

I you upgraded to OS X 10.8, then use RecoveryHD by holding Command R at boot time (no option) and reinstall OS X over itself that way so your installing Mountain Lion.
Also Disk Uility can be used to Repair the Macintosh HD parttion.
Also you can use that RecoveryHD to format and install OS X onto a external drive, then option/alt key boot from it and access your files on the non-booting internal drive before erasing, reformatting and reinstalling OS X fresh.

Get Internet explore and Microsoft Office version from own PC

hi experts,
Is it possible to find out which version Internet Explore and Microsoft Office you have installed in your computer within an ABAP Program?
Is there a function module or a method to get out of these information from your computer?
Alternative is using some Java or Visual basic codes witin an ABAP program: if yes, please provide some example codes.
Best regards
LN

Nick & Manohar are right......This method is working.....I was just checking it out.....
On your PC, Goto START->RUN->REGEDIT
For MS Word
Goto HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT->Word.Document->CurVer
You will get a default registry value of type REG_SZ with value Word.Document.12
The last two digits indicate the version of MS word installed (Refer Microsoft Support link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822005 )
Word 2010 14.0
Word 2007 12.0
Word 2003 11.0
Word 2002 10.0
Word 2000   9.0
For IE
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->Software->Microsoft->Internet Explorer
You will find a registry value of type REG_SZ with the version no of the installed component.
Now, in ABAP program call the method to get the current versions.....
DATA: v_ver_word TYPE string,
      v_ver_ie   TYPE string.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
EXPORTING
    root      = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_classes_root
    key       = 'Word.Document\CurVer'
IMPORTING
    reg_value = v_ver_word.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>registry_get_value
EXPORTING
    root      = cl_gui_frontend_services=>hkey_local_machine
    key       = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer'
    value     = 'Version'
IMPORTING
    reg_value = v_ver_ie.

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I want replace my desktop with a iPad to do emails and Microsoft office work. Can this be effectively done? What's the downside if any?

I'll go down your list one by one.
1. Access mail - which I know that the iPad can do.
Enough said.
2. Save an excel or word or ppt of PDF attachment for review.
You can view these types of documents natively on the iPad as Tgara has mentioned.
3. Open an review and maybe change a excel or word file.
There are many apps that allow this. I personally prefer Apples iWork programs, Pages, Numbers, Keynote. They tightly integrate with iCloud.
4. Resave such above files.
With Pages, Number, Keynote you can save/resave files in iCloud and locally. Also you could use dropbox to save your files on dropbox and provide a way for you to share a folder with coworkers/family and they can add/view/review files from there and you can see the changes on your device.
5. Reply to a mail attaching a file.
This is possible in many ways. From dropbox, or another app you can email files with the share button.
6. Be able to rename files and store them in specific folders.
This goes back to dropbox/iCloud. iOS doesn't really have a traditional file system. If you save a PDF it isn't saved anywhere you can just open it. You would have to open an app that supports view PDFs and select the PDF you wish to view. The same goes for documents, spreadsheets and etc.
Hopefully this helps answer your questions.

I have installed Lion and Microsoft Office 2011. I want to uninstall Office 2004, but of course I cannot run the application to uninstall, because I get the "PowerPC applications are no longer supported" message. Suggestions?

Go to this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312172 and/or this microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768. I would suggest removing both to start with a clean slate. I had some problems with installing Office for Mac 2011 over 2008 and found out that by completely removing both and starting from a clean slate provided the best solution. Kappy is correct but some sniglets do get left behind. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Migrate to internet explorer 8 and microsoft office 2010

Hi Guru,
We want to migrate to internet explorer 8 and microsoft office 2010 .
Is it compatible with adobe interactive forms ? did we install a new sap note ?
o
Thanks a lot
Soufiene

compatiblity of adobe interactive forms has no relation of which IE version, which MS office version you are using/migrating.
it only concerned with which Adobe reader, Adobe Livecycle designer, ADS version you are using.

HT2477 Are documentS created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other

Are documents created with Microsoft office for windows and Microsoft office for mac are compatible with each other?

As with a lot of software, it depends on the version of Word, and what features the author used.
Technically, Office 2010 for Windows and 2011 for Mac are supposed to be feature compatible. As are Office 2007 for Windows, and 2008 for Mac.
However, if a person using Office 2010 / 2011 used a feature that only exists in that version and sends the file to someone using Office 2007 / 2008, they would very likely have trouble opening the file, or having it display as intended.
