AppleWorks documents are being saved automatically as Unix files. How?

Working on a G3 iBook with OS X (10.3), all AppleWorks documents are being saved as Unix Executable Files by the program despite the dialogue box saying they will be saved as Appleworks documents complete with ".cwk".
After a while of successfully opening these files via Get Info/ Open As, AppleWorks itself refuses to open up and I have to reload Appleworks onto the computer from disk for another brief lifespan.
Ideas? Help please.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The files aren't actually saved as Unix executables, your system just thinks they are. I find this kind of file confusion often occurs if permissions aren't repaired using Disk Utility after a system update.
You can "re-teach" your system what program opens those files. Click a known AppleWorks document in the Finder to highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.

For example. When I share a photo stream with my dad and brother and mother all the photos they are putting in the shared photo stream are taking up space on my iphone! I'll be out of space in no time at this rate.

Starting with this, you have errors in your CSS code.

Use iPhoto. What's the problem with iPhoto import? It's a two clicks job. Select your device and click import.

HT4528 old text messages are being deleted automatically

my old text messages are being deleted automatically but this seems to only happen with one contact. Has anyone experienced/fixed this?

If you had pop and now want to use imap you need to create another (new) email account in Mail.
When you start creating a new account, press the option key when you click the Continue button and you will be given the choice of creating the account for pop or imap.

After installing ios 5.1 on my iphone 4s, some apps are being closed automatically after a few seconds. I've tried a restart and a total reset. nothing seems to work. Any solutions?

The problem Apps may need to be updated. Or maybe your iTunes account needs to just update itself on your iPhone. To do this, install a free App from the App Store on your iPhone. Tap App Store app on iPhone, select and install a free App. When that is done try the problem Apps to see if they work OK again.

My facebook photos are being removed automatically

Dear Apple Group,
My facebook photos are being removed automatically. I get a message in iphoto saying this album is being removed from facebook - but is still my my iPhoto library. I want to keep my photos in facebook - that's why I put them there. How can I stop this. I upgraded to iPhoto '11 when this started. How can I stop this?All my facebook photos are being removed. I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard, and intel iMac.
Thanks for your help,

Exactly what steps are your following that produces this result? What did you do that you say "I have just gone back in to edit some more"? Lots and lots of detail needed here, using Lightroom words and names and not your own wording.

With ios6 where do my pictures go when I click "Save Photo" from Facebook? I can't find where they are being saved.

I just downloaded IOS6 and now I can't seem to save pictures from Facebook to my iPhone. I click on the picture as I always have and click "save photo", however I can't find where these pictures are being saved. They are not showing up in my photos folder as they once did. Please help!

I was having the same issue and just figured it out. There's a setting you have to turn on to allow Facebook to access your photos. One it's turned on it starts working. Here is the location:
Settings > Privacy > Photos > turn facebook to ON

When i do a backup to my computer, which things are being saved and which aren't?

You need more than one backup. Hard drives do fail. You can also try a clone.
Clone - Carbon Copy Cloner (Often recommended as it has more features than some others)
Clone – Data Backup
Clone – Deja Vu
Clone - SuperDuper
Clone - Synk
Clone Software – 6 Applications Tested

Within Music Library can anyone please explain why when I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums? How can I correct this? I have tried to 'drag and drop' but that doesn't work.

Within music Library can anyone please explain why after I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums? How can I fix this? I have tried to manually correct by 'drag and drop' individual tracks but that doesn't work. My music library includes a number of repeat album artwork images simply because not all tracks are being listed under the one album making my library more difficult to use than it should. Any advise would be appreciated.

Every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

every time i download anything, it is saved as a binary file. how do i change this setting?

Here is a simple fix I found that worked for me.
1) Clear your download history
2) Go to Options > Options > General Tab: Change your download location to something other than what you currently have it set at. Apply the changes.
3) Go back into the Options and change it back to what it was or whatever you want it to be.
You should be all set from there.

All web images are being saved as web clippings...

Dear Apple Community,
For the past 2 days every image I try to save to my mac from a website (via Safari), remote server (ie: .me), etc. Is being saved as a .RTF web clipping. When I click on the files, TextEditor opens, but the file is empty even thought "Get Info" says that the file has 200 KB, 500KB, etc. I have always saved all images by dragging and dropping to my desktop and it has always worked fine... Except for the last 2 days!... Any Ideas?

I'm not sure what you mean by "web clipping"--I am familiar with .RTF, which is Rich Text Format and RTF files are opened by TextEdit as the default, they are text files that include formatting information. I don't believe grabbing an image and dragging it out of the browser window and onto the Desktop would miraculously change a graphic file into a complex text file.
I think the first thing I would try is to right or control click on an image on some web page you have opened, and select "Open Image in New Window"--then note the URL in the address bar, especially the extension of the image (.jpg or .png most likely). Drag the image out of the browser to the Desktop. If it acquires the RTF extension try changing the extension to .jpg (or .png, or whatever it was) and see if it will open properly.
If the address of the image is not in the form of http://somedomain.com/imagesfolder/image.jpg but rather something rather odd looking--especially if it includes the word "data"--I would suspect some extension installed in Safari recently and/or updated or turned on recently is causing the problem.

While soing private browsing, u say that it will not keep history but history and cookies are being saved. Why?

I have already posed my question. I m having the latest version of Firefox and updated version of Windows 7 Professional.

That can only be the cookies from the normal session that were saved automatically before entering PB mode and not new cookies. The same for the history. If that isn't happening then you may not be in PB mode ([https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]). Cookies and history from before the PB mode session are not removed and will be restored from disk.
