AppleWorks for the modern day, a migration tip

Some questions people have about AppleWorks moving to modern Macs are answered here:
1. Does AppleWorks work on Intel Macs? Yes.
2. Does AppleWorks work with 10.5.4? Yes.
3. Does AppleWorks come with Mac OS X retail? No.
4. How to install AppleWorks if you erase and install Mac OS X? Use the restore CDs that came with your Mac if it is a PowerPC Mac Mini (with 2 USB ports as opposed to 4 in the rear), PowerMac G5, G4, or G3 iMac, eMac, or iBook, following these directions, or using an AppleWorks 6.2.9 retail installer CD. Note the license agreement restrictions on the CD used.
Also, OS X support was added with AppleWorks 6.2 sometime in late 2001. Most install disks from then & later will install in OS X. For example, the separate AppleWorks installer included with a G3/600 Late 2001 iBook has an OS X-aware installer for AppleWorks 6.2 with an updater to 6.2.2.
5. If I have Appleworks 6.0 through 6.2.7, how do I make it work with Mac OS X? Run the 6.2.9 updater. For some versions of Mac OS X, the recent items folder in your Users -> Documents -> AppleWorks data needs to be emptied to avoid unexpected quits.
Note AppleWorks 6.2.4, 6.2.7 & 6.2.9 all work & are stable in OS X. Some recommend not using 6.2.7 as it was very buggy. But if you need to open any ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files, you need to use 6.2.4 or 6.2.7. AppleWorks 6.2.9 returns an I/O error with about half of those files.
6. Are there Intel Mac native software titles that I can substitute for AppleWorks?
iWork '08 - takes care of spreadsheet, presentation, and word processing functionality.
EazyDraw - is able to replace drawing functionaity without some table features found in Appleworks Draw. Ask Eazydraw's author if you think such an object may not be able to be read.
Color It, MacGimp, and GraphicConverter are all popular alternatives for Paint functionality.

Agreed.
6. I couldn't get to the MacGimp site, even doing a Google search for it and trying both http://www.macgimp.org/ and http://www.macgimp.com/.
It appears to have moved to:
http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/
Thanks for the suggestion about Bento. I just was hoping to skip a few steps to someplace that had helpful instructions about migrating between the two.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status. I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Connect the device to iTunes and restore from the most current backup.
If the issue continues, restore as new.

How can I fix this? I have tried to shut my laptop off and let it rest and I have also re-started my wifi router three different times. Someone please help me with this problem so I can begin to use my laptop again as I take it to school and use it for class.
Thanks so much!

FCP, and all software on OSX, has a few different "preference" files (the extension is .plist), which store all your user settings. Each time you resize a window, change a setting, anything, this file is re-written. Kinda easy to see how they would become corrupt every now and then.
-Close FCP
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences and delete com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
-Navigate to User>Library>Preferences>Final Cut Pro User Data and delete Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
-Empty your trash
Relaunch FCP and see if that worked.
Download FCP Rescue to make this process easier in the future. When you have FCP running really smooth, open FCP Rescue and create a backup of your preference files. If it starts acting wanky, just run FCP Rescue and Restore your backup preferences. Works really slick, and it's free.
EDIT: Or use the really simple explaination that X posted as I was typing.

How do I set a reminder for the last day of every month

Have I missed something? But how do you set a reminder for the last day of every month to recurr indefinatley in iOS6? Sorry if this is really simple but I just can't seem to work it out. Any help gratefully received.

Hey Mattye88 not sure if you have seen but actully you can do this, but for some reason you have to use Siri. If you bring up Siri and say "set a reminder ever 4 weeks from next wednesday to check the gas meter" it will set one and it will work just fine, I have reminders to water a Bonsai every three days and it works fine it just shows as custom repeat on the user interface. Alas it seems you can not use Siri to set one for the end of the month though which is why I am in this threed. Still hope it helps you to know how to sort this problem atleast.

How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.

How do I set a recurring event for the last day of the month on iphone 4s calendar?

I want to set a recurring event for the last day of every month - regardless of the date/number of days in the month. I'd prefer not to have to use an app to do this.

Hi,
You can do this using the custom repeat in iCal. You'll need two events to cover the second and fourth Mondays.
Create the event on the second Monday of the month. In Repeat select Custom... > Frequency: Monthly > On the: second Monday.
Do the same for the Fourth Monday.
Best wishes

How to get the date for the last day of a week?

Is there a easy way to get the date for the last day of week?
eg a week starts on monday and end on sunday
January 11, 2005 is the start date for the week
January 17, 2005 is the end date for the week
or
say
February 26, 2003 is the start date for the week
March 5, 2003 is the end date for the week
I just need a simple way of figuring that out....
I figured out how to get the start date for the week but just can't get the latter..
formatting of the date is not of a concern.. that I know how to do
thanks in advance

How about something like the following?
     Calendar someDay = new GregorianCalendar(2005,0,11);//2005 Jan, 11
     //Note above that January is 0, not 1, as counting starts from 0.
      someDay.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,6); //add 6 days
     java.util.Date lastDayOfWeek = someDay.getTime();
     //If someDay was the start of a week, lastDayOfWeek should now be
     //the last day of that week.
     System.out.println(lastDayOfWeek.toString() );

Yes. You can.
I've learned something. New. This must be recently changed. That last time I clicked on a Link I though was a dmg file and turned out it was and exe file my Macs wouldn't allow me to do so. But haven't tried recently everytime and exe file comes up I cancel. I gues I am used to the time everytime a Virus or some other nasty was downloaded it was packaged in and exe file and Macs owuldn't allow it. I suppose with the INtel guts now they can no longer refuse to download.

Stock for the particular day - Unrestricted, Blocked, Quality Inspection

Hi,
There is a standard transaction MMBE, where we can see the current stock values with all specifications like unrestricted stock, blocked stock, reserved stock, quality inspection stock....etc.,
in the same way I would like to have the stock of the material for the particular day.
Is there any standard transaction available?
If it is not available, please let me know how to arrive the stock(Logic) to prepare a report for that.
-Sarasija

Hello,
MB5B gives you the opening & closing stock on a particular date. But i dont think it gives you the detailed breakdown of the stock (viz., Unrestricted, Blocked, Quality Inspection). Correct me if ia m wrong.
@OP: FYI the current stock (period-wise) is stored in the tables MARD & MCHB. But none of these give you the current day stocks.

Getting values for the lastest day

Have a few million records, I need to compute the difference of two columns for the last day with available data
It appears like the function: max should do what I need. e.g.,
select sDate, sStorage, sInflow, sRelease, sInflow-sRelease as diff, sElevation from Summary where max(sDate)=sDate;
But I get this error: group function is not allowed here
Yet: select max(sdate) from summary returns the latest date of the field (column)
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
J-

you missed some parens
SELECT sdate, sstorage, sinflow, srelease, sinflow -srelease AS diff, selevation
FROM summary
WHERE sdate = (
SELECT MAX(sdate)FROM summary
or use analytics (sometimes faster for this type)
SELECT sdate, sstorage, sinflow, srelease, diff, selevation
from
SELECT sdate, sstorage, sinflow, srelease, sinflow -srelease AS diff, selevation
, row_number() over(order by sdate desc) rn
FROM summary
where rn=2
