Can iWorks Open AppleWorks Documents?
Can iWorks open an AppleWorks word processing document?
Can iWorks open an AppleWorks database? Does it import it into an iWorks spreadsheet?
I want to open my AppleWorks-based mail merge documents without having to convert them to Microsoft Office.
Thanks.
The iWork (no 's') applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object.
There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Pages can merge from an Numbers spreadsheet or AddressBook. Since copying & pasting from database to spreadsheet won't copy & paste the column titles, you will need to enter them manually & then define that row as a header row in Numbers in order to use it for merging with Pages.
Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT for best results.

Will iWork open Appleworks documents
I am hoping to transfer all my Appleworks documents from my G4 Cube running 10.4.11 onto a new iMac running Leopard, onto which I am going to install iWork 08.
I have read many comments centred around this subject, but I'm still a little confused.
The version of Appleworks on the cube is 6.2.4 which is an update from my CD version 6.0.4.
Having transferred my documents onto the iMac, do I need to reload Appleworks, or will the iWork open these documents without Appleworks being loaded?
Any guidance would be much appreciated.Hi John,
"Having transferred my documents onto the iMac, do I need to reload Appleworks, or will the iWork open these documents without Appleworks being loaded?"
It depends on what type of AppleWorks documents you have.
The three iWork applications, Pages, Keynote and Numbers will open AppleWorks 6 word processing, presentation and spreadsheet documents respectively.
If you have AppleWorks drawing or paint documents you will need AppleWorks or one of the few third party applications capable of opening those types. If you have AppleWorks database documents, you will need AppleWorks; no other application can open these directly.

Help! Can't open Appleworks documents on my Intel Mac.
Just bought a new Intel iMac to replace my old G4 iMac but have just had a shock discovering that i can only open (some) of my old documents which i copied to my external hard drive using Keynote and Pages, but not all of them.
That in itself is annoying enough seeing as they don't come as part of the operating system, unlike Appleworks did.
Any suggestions?
I can always plug in the old Mac but that defeats the object of buying the new one somewhat.Thanks for the reply Brie Fly, thankfully i've managed to control my frustration and i've sorted the problem. I plugged the old mac back in to the external hard drive, copied Appleworks onto it, plugged the hard drive into the new mac and presto! it works. Obvious really, i think the initial frustration clouded my thinking!

I can't open Appleworks (or any appleworks documents)
I don't know what happened, but suddenly I can't open Appleworks. It disappeared from my dock. I made a new alias to put there. If I click on an Appleworks document the Alias icon bounces up and down once, and nothing else happens. Same if I click on the alias icon in the dock. If I click on Appleworks in the Applications menu nothing happens. If I highlight a file and try to open it under "Open With" under the File menu in Finder nothing happens. Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated, as I have a lot of important information stored in those documents. Thanks!

I had a similar problem & did what you said & AppleWorks opened from the desktop. What do I do with the folders on the desktop?
If you really applied what I described:
+Drag the folder:+
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks:
+and the file:+
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.appleworks.pli st
+on the Desktop.+
and if in this case AppleWorks.6 behaves correctly, you may trash the items which I asked you to move on the desktop.
Often, it's a good idea to open the
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks:
folder which you moved on the desktop ,
grab the "AppleWorks 6 Button Bars" file and move it in the newly created
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks: folder.
Doing that you will recover your set of custom buttons; Of course if you didn't created custom buttons this task is unneeded.

Pages 5.0 can't open iCloud documents. Has anybody run into this issue?
Here's the story:
I upgraded to Pages 5.0 and can't open .pages documents saved in icloud.
It does not seem to be a file incompatibility. I am creating files in Pages for Mac, saving them to iCloud. They are immediately unable to re-open.
I only get a message saying: The file “{file name}.pages” couldn’t be opened.
Documents can be created without issue. If they are saved to my local drive, I can open them again.
Obviously, this makes it very difficult to use Pages with any other devices because document syncing is impossible.
Details on my system:
Mid-2010 13" Macbook pro
2.4 Ghz core 2 duo
8 GB ram
OS X 10.9I was also experiencing same issues without being to open Older Pages Docs from iCloud in Pages 5. I followed suneson Recommendation and process to the T... Works perfectly.
Important to note you do have to do the second part in order for it to work completely. I tested just the first half and still had issues. Once Disabling and Re-enabling Documents and Clearing Cache - works perfectly now. Thanks Suneson!
Suneson process:
Move all of your iCloud documents to a local folder (offline).
Go to the iCloud preference pane i System Preferences.
Click Manage... and delete all Pages data.
The Next Step is required:
Go back to iCloud preferences and uncheck "Documents & Data".
Check it again.
Delete ~/Library/Caches/--anything related to Pages or iWork-- -
Can't open a document I was writing yesterday- alert says it needs a new version of pages, but I only updated it in August 2014. Help please!
You have two versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages v5.2.2 in /Applications
Pages ’09 v4 in /Applications/iWork ’09
When you open a Pages ’09 document in the default Pages v5.2.2, it is converted to the latter exclusive, new document format, and is not directly backwards compatible with Pages ’09. You would have to use Export To > Pages ’09 in Pages v5.2.2.
If Pages ’09 is running, with/without an open window — double-clicking a Pages v5.2.2 formatted document, or attempting to open said document with the Pages ’09 document chooser, will generate the dialog you saw. It really means you cannot open this newer document format with your older version of Pages. There is nothing to download, because the cause of this dialog is simply having Pages v5.2.2 installed.
You can open actual Pages ’09 documents:
Right-click, Open with > Pages (4.3)
Via Pages ’09 document chooser
Drag/drop Pages ’09 document on the Pages ’09 Dock icon
Pages ’09 File > Open…
Pages ’09 File > Open Recent > -
My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?
If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications. -
Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I was erasing the free space on my disk tonight in order to get rid of some data that I had deleted and happened to open appleworks and create a document while I was waiting. The only funny thing that happened was a message "your startup disk is full". I didn't do anything else after that and the disk utility finished and then couldn't close appleworks and the document that I was working on. I read many other posts and dumped all of the preferences and recent items and disabled items and ran a repair on disk permissions. Still can't open Appleworks. No problems with any other programs. What to do now? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
imac power pc G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Appleworks 6.2.9Where does it say you still have AppleWorks 6.2.7? Is it in Get Info? The splash screen when starting AppleWorks or in About AppleWorks while AppleWorks is running?
If you tried reinstalling AppleWorks, updating it, deleting preferences & recent items or repairing permissions while AppleWorks was running, none of those steps will be effective. You must quit AppleWorks first. Also, you must be logged in as an administrator to install or update AppleWorks. After installing or updating you must then repair permissions & delete the AppleWorks preferences before starting AppleWorks. I'm sure you checked, but to make sure you delete all of the AppleWorks preferences (there are four in two places for each user), take a look at my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly. -

YoshiHi Waqas
Thanks for your help with this. I had a look at both posts, the URL works fine from the WAC server and I am not using a System account to test docs.
Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.
Issue #3 in the above blog link does not reflect the same error I see on my servers.
I also had a look at the information in this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
Problem: You receive a "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document" error when you try to view an Office document in Office Web Apps.
If you added domains to the Allow List by using the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet, make sure you’re accessing Office Web Apps from a host domain that’s in the Allow List. To view the host domains in the Allow List, on the Office Web Apps Server open the Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator and run
the Get-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet. To add a domain to the Allow List, use the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet.
I have not added any domains to the Allow list so this did not help either. Should I add the domain?
Any further help with this is much appreciated.
Thanks again.

Can't open secured documents on windows 7 domain client with mandatory profiles.
While opening certain PDF files we have the problem that the user is presented with a message that he does not have the rights permissions. This happens twice, after that the users gets an empty page with the message the Adobe version might not be up to date. We use Acrobat Pro 10, but this also happens while using Reader 11.0.8. On our windows 2008 terminal services machine this could be fixed by giving the user rights on c:\ to create and remove a file. :O. On windows 7 this doesn't work probably because of UAC. But we've tried every solution to that available on the internet, disabling uac, changing uac options, changing rights on userprofile folders, changing rights on c:\ but to no avail. When using process explorer we can see it wants to create a temp file p328hkl.tmp or something like that on C but it can't and immediattely after is shows the error on screen.
Anyone who also has this problem or solved it? There are no problems with simple self made pdf files/scans but only with certain types of pdf files for which it tries to create a tmp file.
Thanks,
PeterHi Brogers,
Thanks for your reaction. We do have AppData redirection in place. We redirect AppData to a share on our data server which works perfectly fine for all other applications. The weird thing is that Reader/Acrobat try to write to C:\ which to my knowledge should not happen, is this maybe a fallback because it can’t write to a different location? Users have full control on their own roaming AppData but not on their local AppData that is made by windows itself while copying the mandatory default profile to C:\.
I might use the wrong term while saying secured documents. I’m talking about a document created by Raet/Youforce a web application for personal administration. The documents can be opened by other viewers than Acrobat/Reader but then only contain the background and not the text. In Acrobat/Reader they do open normally when Acrobat/Reader can create the .tmp file. Otherwise it will not display the file at all. I would attach such a document to see but since it contains certain info I am not allowed to do so.
I hope we can work out a solution for this.

I upgraded to Mavericks. I just spent an hour in Pages. Now I can't open my documents, it says I need to upgrade to a newer version. It looks like the new 5.0 when I typed but it's saying I'm running 4.3. the App store says I've already upgraded. HelP
Actually, there seems to be a bit of a bug. Encountered this with a couple of files my wife made. The files were set to "open with" the new Keynote, but clicking the file brought up this error. Right-clicking and selecting "open with..." worked correctly. I can only assume the OS was attempting to open the file with Keynote '09 despite the file property setting.
Probably requires a Launch Services DB reset (although I haven't actually tried it on my wife's MBA yet...since she's still "working on stuff". So I can't confirm if it will solve the problem).
