Appleworks 6 quite simply not working

I have appleworks 6.2.9 this computer, and every time I open it it gets to the bit where I can choose my type of file, but anything beyond that and the program stops responding, giving me the little swirly color wheel. This has never happened on this machine before.
This may sound like the recent items glitch, but I assure you it isn't, for I have not only cleared the recent items folder, but have un-installed and reinstalled the program multiple times to no avail. I have also searched the computer for any and all "recent items" folders and cleaned them out as well, also to no avail. Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Although you say it's not the Recent Items bug, the behavior is exactly that. I would check again to make sure you have located the correct folder. That path is HD > Users > (your account) > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Recent Items. Unless you have saved any clippings, I would suggest just deleting the entire AppleWorks User Data folder. AppleWorks will recreate it as needed. There have been instances of users not finding the right Recent Items folder. I don't understand it as I only have one Recent Items folder, but other do seem to have more than one.
Also, check the AutoSave folder. Deleting the whole AppleWorks User Data folder will take care of this as well.
Even though I don't think corrupt preferences are the problem, you could delete the AppleWorks preferences.

HT1492 quite simply not working

This problem was caused merely by allowing a restart after a safari update.
"It Just Works!" - No. It. Doesn't.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Hi Guys

Any ideas? Tnx.

What happens when you try? More information gets you better help...

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

Force quit will not work what do I try next

force quit will not work what do I try next

Other than the keyboard & mouse, disconnect all devices from your iMac.
Check out: Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball/freezing & crashing and Troubleshoot the spinning beach ball. Not sure if you have tried everything mentioned in these articles. If you have, and no one else can come up w/any suggestions, then it's time to lug your iMac to your local AS or an AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE!!!

NAT Simply not working

Hello, This is my first time posting on this forum although I am a frequent visitor. I have setup a client with Airport Extreme and NAT is simply not working. I have NAT enabled with the proper ports routing to the proper IP addresses and the traffic does not go through.
I performed a port scan via nmap on the ports in question and the status of the ports were identified as "filtered". At least the tool recognized a service was running on the specifiec ports but the state was filtered rather than closed. After connecting a linksys router and configured it the same; I ran the same scanning test yielding ports with the status "open".
Please advise...

Yes, this button must be checked for me to enter the ports in which to be mapped. Again when I scanned the ports they were in fact recognized that services were running but the port state was "filtered". I believe this is the problem. This normally will allow connections to be spawned from the machine in question and then allow traffic but it doesn't appear to allow a external connect initiation.

On iphoto my stop import is not working and the force quit does not work either

please help - the stop import and force quit on iphoto both not working. thx!

This happened to me today on the iPad; I put in the password 4 or 5 times. I began to think my account had been hacked. I tried again on my iPhone and it worked first time. Then I tried again on the iPad and same thing—worked first time. Maybe just a temporary glitch in the server?

Creative Zen V won't charge, is not recognized, simply not work

hey. couple of weeks ago i bought myself a creative v zen. i have win xp prof sp2 and everything was working fine. few days ago suddenly media explorer crashed while i was transfering music to the player. i had to reset my player. since then, my zen is simply not recognized, neither by media explorer, nor by windows itself. there's always a mtp device being found, but it won't install the drivers. i reinstalled all the drivers and all the software, i downloaded all the updates, but it's still not working. my player won't even charge itself. only if i'm lucky enough. and everytime i turn on the zen, it says that it's rebuilding the media library. does anyone know how to fix that thing ?

Have you try running Cleanup from Rescue mode?

Spotlight (leopard) is simply *not* working properly...

i needed to trash my firefox prefs, but couldn't remember the exact name of the document (org.mozilla.firefox.plist). so i typed "firefox" in spotlight.
i got a few results -- the app, etc., -- but absolutely no preference files. i double-checked: i was searching "this computer." it defaults to "contents," so i switched to "file name" -- but still nothing.
finally i went to the preferences folder and scanned for the document manually -- and found it.
if i'm searching "this computer," and spotlight doesn't "see" a document that's sitting right there -- how can this be the correct behavior? i know i was able to find preference files with spotlight in tiger.
what am i missing, here?

Spotlight is great for documents, but for anything system related I use to open a terminal (Command-Space Terminal Enter) and type the following command at the prompt:
locate [filename]
which is in your case:
locate org.mozilla.firefox.plist
I must admit that I come from a Unix background, so the locate command is quite a normal way for me to find files. And you circumvent all those nifty features in Spotlight which like to do your thinking for you.
Further, I must disagree with you in that Leopard Spotlight does not work property. It seems to be doing exactly what is designed to do. That this is not what you would expect it do is more a bug in the design team than in Spotlight

IPhone 4 simply not working

My phone has simply stopped working. I thought it had maybe lost its charge but I plugged it into my AC adaptor and I saw the apple coming up but it then came up with a notification stating that this is not compatibale with this device, please connect to itunes. I then tried to connect it through my laptop but got absolutely nothing. Any help would be brilliant or would I be best just sending it back to apple as I am still within my warranty period.

First clean the connector on the bottom of the phone and the end of the cable. Dirt in either connectory can result in the "compatible" message.
Then see this to recover the phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Recently bought Mac air in March 2014, but it keeps freezing and force quit is not working?

Hi all,
I had trouble with my mid-2009 Macbook Pro during finals week (it kept shutting down by itself), so I opted out and thought it was time to upgrade. I had bought myself the Macbook air 13 inch, Version 10.9.2, processor 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5, Memory 4 GB... everything was fine until on the third day, the air froze for the first time. The rainbow wheel started showing up, so I wanted to force quit (I think I had youtube running). Force quit wouldn't work when I moved my mouse over to the apple logo on the top left. I also tried holding down control+command+esc but nothing came up.. I'm quite disappointed since I literally bought this two weeks ago. From the first freeze, it has frozen 4 times and I have been force restarting it. What can I do to fix this? Will apple replace this machine?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Jenny

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

How can I shutdown my Mac since my Google Chrome is "open" and Force Quit is not working

Can someone help me shutdown my mac?
Problem: Google Chrome is not responding, and force quit from the dock, and using the apple icon seems to not work in quitting Google Chrome. Because of this, I cannot shutdown/restart my macbook pro.

Try this:
Command+Control+Option+Power button
If that does not work, as a last resort, hold the power button for about 5 seconds until the MacBook powers off. Wait 30 seconds before starting up again.

Is iCloud simply not working as it should?

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S both running iOS5. Also Apple TV
I'm noticing thta iCloud just 'doesn't work' as it's suppose to all of the time.
I've been using Photostream.. All working good on *ALL* my devices for a while, Then today the photo stream
decided to dissapear from my iPad. I didn't change any settings. It just decided to dissapear.. Photo Stream is still
on my other devices including Apple TV.
Now if I switch off photo stream on the ipad and switch it on again it will start downloading the pics.
Also Reminders.
When I make a new reminder, it appears on all devices. Now lets say I try to delete this reminder from my iPhone,
it does not delete from my iPad. To get it to delete from my iPad I have to firstly make a NEW reminder on my iPad and
as this reminder goes up to the cloud, only THEN will the previous reminder get deleted.
It's almost like I have to keep 'nudging' iCloud to speak to my device mainly my iPad2. Now this is only 50% of the time.
My iPad2 seems to be the dodgiest device for iCloud. Again, only 50% of the time.
My settings and my iCloud account and my Apple ID is in order.. This whole setup of iCloud is real simple and I understand the concept
perfectly so there's no errors on my part.. It's just not working!!
Very frustrated with this.. I was hoping it would 'just work'. .
-Frankie

Apple has severe issues with their servers. What you experience is harmless compared to us iwork for ios users : the cloud randomly deletes all of our created documents.. Lost, forever, gone , zeroed out. Hours of research,typing, editing data = poof in the cloud.
"documents in the cloud" = It is a joke. but a bad one.
Edit : and so is "photostream"..

FaceTime for Mac - simply not working

Hi there @everyone,
before everything I have a 2 years old MB running Mac OS X 10.6.5 with all the updates installed.
I downloaded FaceTime and successfully logged in and I also manage to see my full contacts list.
The problem is that I tried to call many times a friend of mine with FaceTime enabled and on (first with another Mac, then an iPhone 4 and finally iPod 4G) and every time the FT app on my Mac dials, then says "connecting..." and finally "FaceTime failed".
This happens also when a friend tries to call me... says "connecting..." and then failed...
I also checked the firewall options and tried to re-install the software but nothing.... still same problem...
Any possible solution?
Thanks

(1) iPhone 4 must be running iOS 4.1 or later. 4.0.1 will NOT work. More info:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
(2) Try at a different wi-fi hotspot.
If you can connect at internet cafe, Apple Store, etc., you will need troubleshoot your home internet connection. It must be broadband speed and, if you have a network, you can troubleshoot that starting here:
