AppleWorks not working

I have tried using the Help in my appleworks and when I click on a question it just turns green and does not open anything.
Any suggestions?

Peggy, thank you so much for your help. It was actually my husband that was having the problem. I think he is trying to put all of his CD's in order. Not sure where he found this database already designed but it was not alphabetized
It was then that he was tried going into help and found it was not working as well
I think you may have answered my other question about putting things in abc order.
Again, just not sure where he was at.
Thanks again.

Snow Leopard and Appleworks not working well together ...

Still a dedicated fan of Appleworks mostly because I use the vector drawing program for my design business. But, even though it works in OSX.6, it is much changed. The drag-drop images from web sites print out in dot-matrix quality. Every clicked on object becomes a "grouped picture". Therefore the object has to be ungrouped and then regrouped. The resize and rotate tools don't work. If there were other great drawing programs out there I would consider them, but I am considering going back to OSX.5. Also finding that some web sites don't like OSX.6 with Safari and my HP printers have terrible quality now and HP will not support Snow Leopard and older printers. Any other Appleworks users having problems? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Whenever you do an update, it's a good idea to do two maintenance tasks, one for the system (Repair Permissions) and one for AppleWorks (delete preferences). (Thanks to Barry for this way to format this very common answer.)
To Repair permissions, launch Disk Utility, found in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder, click on First Aid, then on Repair Permissions.
To delete AppleWorks’ preference files, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences. Find and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist. Find and open the folder AppleWorks in this Preferences folder, then delete all of the enclosed files (with the exception of the Button Bar Preferences if you have customized the Button Bars). AppleWorks will recreate the preference files as it needs them. You should also do this every time AppleWorks crashes as each crash will cause some corruption of the preferences. This may fix the resize & rotate issues.
AppleWorks changes the resolution of all graphic formats except PICT to 72 dpi. There are a couple of things you can do improve the print quality of images.
1. Turn on Fractional Character widths in Preferences > General > Topic: Text. This is a text setting, but it does improve the print quality of images.
2. Open the image in Preview or GraphicConverter & Save As... a PICT to use in AppleWorks.
PICT is generally the best format to use for inserting or pasting into AppleWorks. I find the resulting graphic can be resized somewhat & the resulting saved AW file is much smaller than if using JPEG or TIFF.

Possible Solution to Google Search Bar Not Working/Safari Not Loading Pages

Hello Apple Forums,
I have recently encountered a possible solution to a problem with Safari. The one in which Safari fails to load any page associated with www.google.com. Especially the Google Search Bar—a feature I use frequently.
After browsing through the forums about the Google Search Bar issue, I took my knewly gained knowledge, and decided to do some diagnosing for myself.
This is what I have done so far to try and solve this issue:
Run Daily, Weekly, and Monthly Cron Scripts
Cleared the following caches:
System Local Computer Cache
System VM (Swap) Files
Curent User Cache
Current User Icon Cache
Internet Explorer Download Cache
Page History
Web Site Cache
Temporary Files
Safari Downloads List
Form Values
Page History
Recent Searches
Site Icons
Web Site Cache
User Cookies (used by Safari)
Finder Recent Applications
Recent Documents
Recent Folders
Recent Servers
Recent Files of AppleWorks 6
Disk Utility Disk Images
Preview
QuickTime Player Favorites/Recent
REALbasic Projects
TextEdit
VideoLanClient
and Other caches of Acquisition Current Downloads
Acquisition Recent Searches
MSN Conversation History
Vicomsoft FTP Client Icon Cache
All of the above runnings of Cron scripts and clearings of Caches were done using Mac Pilot version 1.1.5 (yes the one on the site is an updated version, but I have not downloaded it yet). If you decide to use this program to clear caches, I advise not clearing the Installer Receipts under the System section as Installer Receipts are used to correctly repair permissions. I do not clear Find File Indexes either, because I use the Find File feature quite frequently on my computer and I do not want to have it re-index files all the time (perhaps I'll do it every few months or so to refresh what I've got on the harddrive). Remember, all the information given in this paragraph is relative to Mac Pilot version 1.1.5.
In addition, I have also repaired permissions using Disk Utility 10.4.4 (v145.7) (make sure you restart your computer after you repair permissions). I have taken out items in /harddrive/library/StartUpItems as well as taking out items in /harddrive/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in /user/library/Internet Plug-Ins and in user/library/Caches (restart your computer after taking out or putting in items in these locations).
As of now, all the information mentioned above about trying to fix this problem have NOT worked.
What HAS WORKED for me was tinkering with my 3rd party firewall—Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). Under the Protection Settings, I HAD Enable Active FTB support, Enable Stealth mode, Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected), Enable UDP Protection (with Protect outgoing UDP connections, Allow access to essential services, and Protect a range of UDP ports 1 through 1023 selected).
What I CHANGED in Protection Settings was DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Upon deselecting that information the Google Search Bar feature in Safari WORKED practically instantaneously. Before hand, anything I inputted into Safari and after hitting Return on the keyboard just wound up hanging there.
Just to be sure, all tests were performed on:
IMac G4 800 Mhz SD Mac OSX 10.3.9 with ALL the latest Software Updates, Except Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 and iPod Updater 2006-01-10
I have a cable internet connection with ISP Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner) using a SurfBoard SB4100 Cable Modem on an AirPort Extreme Base Station (Apple Base Station V5.6)
Interesting side note: I have a PowerBook G4 15" 1 Ghz Mac OSX 10.3.9 Laptop running on the same network (although it has an airport extreme card as opposed to the regular airport card in the iMac) with ALL the same latest Software Updates, Except iPod Updater 2006-01-10. The Apple Remote Desktop Client version 1.2.4 does not come up on Software Update on the Laptop and I can not find it on the harddrive using a name search in the Finder Find feature. It does not show up in Applications folder, so I do not know if it is on or active on the Laptop.
The LAPTOP IS ABLE TO USE ALL GOOGLE FEATURES without DESELECTING Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic DESELECTED). Why this is apparent I have not officially confirmed.
What I do know is that I have tried to Uninstall Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) with the appropriate uninstaller but it FAILS during the uninstall (I wanted to uninstall and reinstall, it appears the program became corrupted). What I did to possibly circumvent this was to search for the phrase 'Personal Fire" using the Finder's Find feature (Search for items whose name contains 'Personal Fire') and deleted all the files that came up related to Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48). I then reinstalled Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48) since then, and it continues to have the problem with Enable suspicious activity protection (with Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic selected).
What I have not done:
Updated Prebinding
Run TechTool Pro version 4.1.2
Install Combo OSX 10.3.9
Initialize HardDrive with complete reinstallation of OSX 10.3.9
To Summarize Possible Solution
I've tried many possible solutions, what appears to work best as of now is to DESELECT Enable suspicious activity protection (making sure Deny outgoing suspicious traffic and Deny incoming suspicious traffic are deselected) under Protection Settings in Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48).
One could try deselecting something similar in any firewall application other than Norton Personal Firewall Version 3.0 (48), to see if it is suspicious activity settings in firewalls that cause the problem.
Any comments/feedbacks are extremely welcome.
Hope It Helps!

Hello tr:
Welcome to Apple discussions and thank you for your very very thorough post.
Your instincts to delete anything named "Norton" were right on the mark. Norton software is POISON to Macs running OS X. An additional software firewall is, IMHO, completely unnecessary. Turn on the built-in firewall in OS X - it is robust. In fact, if it is already on, there may be a conflict.
Go to Symantec's web site and use the uninstaller you should find there to get rid of the Norton stuff. After you do that, do a "find" on Norton and Symantec to be sure it is all gone - the stuff hides everywhere.

Auto Calculate not working in Locked Title.

I am in the process of upgrading from AW 5.0.4 to AW 6.2.9
Just as a matter of interest and also it may help some who suffer the "Autocalc on strike" bug.
I ran into the "Autocalc on strike" bug in two large spreadsheets when they were saved as AW 6. I use these spreadsheets continually from year to year to keep annual track of my business so they are important to me.
All of the many calculations and references updated automatically as data was entered, except those that were placed in the "Locked Title". These needed the manual "Calculate Now" command to force them to respond.
I tried the "save in AW 5 and save back into AW 6" trick but this did not work.
The solution that fixed both spreadsheets was to:
Quit AW 6
Open copies of the original AW 5 spreadsheets in AW 5.
Go to "Options" menu and uncheck "Lock Title position"
Save
Quit AW 5
Open and save the spreadsheets in AW 6 again.
The title can be locked again if desired.
Wonderful.... now I have my precious spreadsheets and database working perfectly in AW 6 and access to my many files produced over the last eight years, here's to another ten years of using Appleworks.

Looks like you are facing the issue mentioned in the below article.
Auto-Blend Layer masks are all black or all white
If so, revert back to PS CC as of now.

'Paint' not working correctly

The symptoms are consistent; lines drawn are 'dotty', not complete; it's possible actually to color quite outside the boundaries of the frame, etc. When we bought the wonderful little machine, running Classic 9.2.2, we were given several new install disks, Appleworks 6 included. Then after some monthes I upgraded the OS to Panther, 10.3.9. The machine seemed to handle it well with no other problems. I do suspect that the upgrade perhaps corrupted the original install we did while still running Os 9.2.2. As I understand, the Panther upgrade did not include these applications as 'new installs', am I correct? Would the thought be that a reinstall of the original Classic cd of Appleworks would not work now that we're up to Panther? And in that case perhaps a new Appleworks cd specifically for Mac X is required. Thanks for your thoughts. Eric

The symptoms are consistent; lines drawn are 'dotty',
not complete; it's possible actually to color quite
outside the boundaries of the frame, etc.
My first step here would be to look at Peggy's User Tip "AppleWorks has stopped working correctly" here:
http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=607287
Then I'd check the version of AppleWorks you have installed, and if it's earlier than 6.2.9, update it. (Keep the downloaded update file in case you need to repeat the update.)
Use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on your hard drive BEFORE and AFTER doing the update (and before and after any other software installation).
If neither of the above improve things, you might consider removing all AppleWorks related files (NOT your documents, though) then reinstalliing Appleworks from the install disks that came with the machine. (Peggy also has a tip on this procedure, which depends partly on which 'wonderful little machine' you have.)
As I understand, the Panther upgrade did not include
these applications as 'new installs', am I correct?
Correct. AppleWorks has never been part of the operating system. It has been bundled software with Consumer models of the Macintosh (Performa, iBook, iMac, eMac and Mini) for many years.
Would the thought be that a reinstall of the original
Classic cd of Appleworks would not work now that
we're up to Panther? And in that case perhaps a new
Appleworks cd specifically for Mac X is required.
Your Classic install will work provided you have Classic and OS 9 installed on the machine. The install disk installs a package which contains both OS X and Classic versions of AppleWorks, but the installer itself will run in only one of Mac OS 9 or OS X. If you have both installed, your Mac will automatically pick the right one.

Barry

Macros in AW5 spreadsheets do not work in AW6

I have just upgraded from a G3 iMac to a G5. Macros in spreadsheets prepared in AW5 running on OS 9.2 (classic mode behind OS 10.1.5) in the G3 iMac are inoperative in AW6. I installed OS 9 in the G5 using the CD that came with it, and transferred the AW 5 files from my old computer to the G5, which is running OS 10.4.2. That didn't help; the files still open in AW6 without operational macros.
I believe that the option to startup in OS 9 no longer exists as it did in OS 10.1.5. I presume that I can trash AW6 and leave only AW5 installed, but that seems drastic. If I install OS 9.2 in the G5 from the CD that I have, is there some way to start the G5 in OS 9.2 and then get to my spreadsheets via AW5?
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Murray
Macros are not supported by OS X. Macros do work in AppleWorks 6 in OS 8/9 or Classic. Even in these versions, your AppleWorks 5 macros would not work, you would have to re-do them. I am assuming that the only copy of AppleWorks 6 you have is the one that came on your G5 iMac. This installation does not have the component to run in Classic. So, you will need to either run AppleWorks 5 in Classic (which works well) or find/write AppleScript solutions for your macros.

Numeric keypad not working

The numeric keypad no longer functions with my Apple keyboard when trying to input numbers with Excel or AppleWorks. It has functioned in the past. The screen just freezes. Not sure what might have caused the change. Trying a different known working keyboard with keypad does not work either.
Would doing a SMU reset help?
Any suggestions?
Disk Utilities corrected permissions but the problem persists.

Thanks for the hint, I found the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1714.html
My numeric keypad doesn't work
The way the numeric keypad works depends on your computer, the keyboard you're using, the application you're working in, and whether the Num Lock key is engaged. Usually, the numeric keypad is used to enter numbers in a document, but in some applications you might be able to use the keypad to navigate (move around in) your document.
Press the Num Lock key to switch between the ways the numeric keypad functions.

DARI (Arabic) script does not work in WORD 2004

When I change to AFGHAN DARI in MS WORD I can type the characters (although as other discussions have shown KEYBOARD viewer does not work) BUT they are not joined properly in the words.
i.e. the same form of the character is used whether it is at the start, middle or end of the word. PATHETIC - how would you like to write all English in UPPERCASE??
MS WORD does the correct thing on Windows XP
Does anyone have any ideas - apart from throwing this new MacBook away?
Any Word processors for the MAC that work properly?
Please HELP!!

Does anyone have any ideas - apart from throwing this new MacBook away?
Yes, throw Word away. MS Office for Mac has no support for Arabic, Hebrew, Devanagari, etc.
All other word processors (except Appleworks) have better support for Arabic than Word does. Mellel is the best. See this note:

Software Update not working post Mt. Lion install + other issues

Held out as long as I could, but finally purchased & downloaded Mt. Lion, yesterday. Install seemed to be OK., until I started noticing odd behaviors. Software Update, is not working in the manner to which I am familiar; the usual window does not open, instead I'm taken to the App Store, again & again.
I did go to Support Downloads & got the Java & Security updates which downloaded & installed.
Icons of apps are not appearing in Dock; such as Onyx which shows an icon which looks like old Appleworks!
Is it true that Apple Mail no longer has Save As a Draft, option? Intermintent problems with sending mail;
says it can't connect with outgoing server but when I check, it is connected & communicating with that server.
Repaired Permissions; re-started in Safe mode; then re-started, again. Finally, decided to boot from Ext HD into MAC OS 10.6.8. and here I am.
Really miss the lovely beach scenes for Screen Saver in Mt. Lion; the offerings are so limited, and ugly.
Thanks for your time,
Cali

Icons of apps are not appearing in Dock; such as Onyx which shows an icon which looks like old Appleworks!
Check Launchpad. Your apps may appear there.
Onyx may need to be updated to work in ML.
Software Update, is not working in the manner to which I am familiar; the usual window does not open, instead I'm taken to the App Store, again & again.
There is no more Software Update I'm sad to say. AppStore has taken over the updates now. Look at the top of the AS window & you will see "Updates."
Really miss the lovely beach scenes for Screen Saver in Mt. Lion; the offerings are so limited, and ugly.
All of the OS screensavers & desktop pictures can be found on the net. Do a Google search for them.
I do not use Apple's Mail, so I cannot comment on it.
Recommend that you do what I did; purchase OS X Mountain Lion: The Missing Manual - David Pogue . This book is very easy reading, non technichal & non geeky. I strongly recommend this book as it takes you step-by-step through Mountain Lion.
