Can I open Aldus Pagemaker 1990s files in any software on a Mac using OSX 10.8.2

I have a number of old files on CD which I am fairly certain are old Aldus Pagemaker files from the early 1990s although they appear in Finder as Unix Executable files. Is there any way that they can be opened? Does Pagemeaker still exist in any form that can be operated on my Mac (Mountain Lion)?

Here is a post I recently assembled for another similar question:
With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included (google the term "Classic-On-Intel v 4.0.1 chubby bunny").

Sorry! Something went wrong - I can't open my icloud pages file anymore

I can't open my icloud pages file anymore. We are two collaborators working on it and she told me the file was freezing. I have said she can reload the file but it didn't work. Then it was my turn. I have tried from desktop but also from Ipad. The Pages app now crash when I want to open this same file. When I load my icloud page, I see the file, it is here, with the last layout, but can't open. I need to recover that document, it's important to me. Is there any assistance @apple to do so?
Many thanks!

I have exactly the same issue !! On "Pages", "Numbers", "Keynote"

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.

I just purchased the new Canon SX60 camera. Despite downloading and installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I receive an error message saying that Photoshop CS4 can't open up/convert raw files (.CR2). This is the same file format as used by the SX50, with which I never had any problem. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this problem? Thanks.

You should be able to open the zipped file by double clicking on it.

I can't open a silverlight dmg file-it always opens Terminal window

Hi, I can't open a silverlight dmg file to watch netflix. I am running Lion on my 2.66ghz iMac i5 with 10.7.3. I can download and install silverlight but when I try to open the file, it always opens the Terminal window. Please Help.

It sounds like all your launch services file associations have somehow been corrupted. I suggest your reset the launch services bake to their initial default settings.
The easiest way for you to do this is probably to get a maintenence utility like OnyX (download the Lion version for your case). It has, among many other things, a way to rebuild the launch services. Launch OnyX. It will ask for your admin password and a window like below will be dispallyed.
As you can see from the above picture in OnyX you select Maintenance, Rebuild tab, check the LaunchServices checkbox, and click the Execute button (not shown here but it's at the bottom of the window).
Note, the above shows the window for the Snow Leopard version of OnyX. I don't know if the Lion version is different since I don't use Lion.

I have downloaded trial for Windows English version, but can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file. I have 32-bit. Will this work or shoudl I redownload?

I have downloaded trial for Windows English version 1.45GB.
It has downloaded but I can't open the Captivate_8_LS21.7z file.
I have 32-bit. Will this work ?

Hi There,
In order to download / install Captivate 8 32 bit, you have to download 2 files ( .7z and .exe ) at same location/ folder.
Once both files downloaded completely then you have to run .exe file and it will extract .7z file first and then it will initialize the installer. You do not have to open .7z file.
Let me provide you the download links of Captivate 8 32 bit :-
Open the link mention below in any Web Browser say Internet Explorer
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivate
Sign in with your Adobe id and Password, then you will be redirected to download Web Page of Captivate 8.
Do not click on Download. Kindly let that window open as it is.
Now Copy and paste the link mention below in the new tab/window of the same Web Browser in which you have opened the above link.
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.7z
Then Save the file.
Do the same for the link mention below and save this .exe file as well.
http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CPTV/8/win32/Captivate_8_LS21.exe
Make sure both the files (.7z and .exe) save/download at the same location/folder.
NOTE: Wait for both the files to finish download and then run the .exe file.
Once you run the .exe, it will start extracting the .7z file and will provide Captivate 8 folder on your desktop which will contain setup.exe. Run this setup.exe to install Captivate 8.
Regards,
Ajit

There is no such thing as CS8 but CS5 cannot open any INDD file created in a later version. You’ll need to get an IDML file.
