Cannot Open Appleworks Documents in MacBook Pro

Hi; I recently got my MacBook Pro. I installed Appleworks 6.2.9 and transferred files via CD from my old G-4 PowerBook (which also had Appleworks 6.2.9 on it). Most of the document are now in something called Unix Exec and won't open. I've tried to open in Appleworks and in Microsoft Word and I get an error message that says "An I/O Error Occurred." Even the documents that somehow remained as Appleworks 6 icons in the transfer won't open - I get the same error message. Some documents end in .cwk and others as [v 6.0], but neither of these will open.
I have well over 100 documents and half a book written of 150+ pages - Help, what do I do?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i guess a number of things will sometimes work for this. try going to utilities > disk utility and then repairing disk permissions. if that doesn't work, then boot to the install disk and repair the disk. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 if that still doesn't work, then try resetting launch services by removing the following files--
/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.LocalCache.csstore
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.UserCache.csstore
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist
"localcache" and "usercache" will vary as to what is there. just pull the files that start with "com.apple.LaunchServices" in these locations. let me know if any of that works for you.

Cannot open iCloud document on Macbook pro (numbers, pages, ...)

Im am sharing some documents between iPad, iPhone, iMac and the Macbook pro. The Macbook pro is new, I am starting to use it now.
When trying to open a document (e.g. a numbers document) on my Macbook pro, I can see it in the "open file" dialog; the dialog even shows a preview. When clicking at the document I get an error message, telling me that numbers cannot open the file.
I can open my iCloud files at my iMac without a problem; no problem with the iPad also. I am using the newest versions of numbers, pages at all my devices.
At my Macbook pro I can move the iCloud document to the desktop. At the desktop it opens without any problem.
Any idea?

My language setting is german; therefore the error message is german, too:
Die Datei „BLE Firmware Slotplan.numbers“ konnte nicht geöffnet werden.
My best translation is: "The file „BLE Firmware Slotplan.numbers“ could not be opened.

i purchased adobe photoshop elements 12 and cannot open organizer on my macbook pro 7.1 Any suggestions?

After I successfully install the adobe photoshop elements 12 for mac, I try to open organizer and a window pops up that says
"Adobe Elements 12 Organizer cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Elements 12 Organizer works with this version of Mac OSX. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OSX. Click report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
I have checked for any updates on my Mac and it is up to date.
I have tried reloading and am still getting the same result.
I can open Editor, but not Organizer.
I am running Mac OSX version 10.6.2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 4 GB memory, all standard stuff that came in the computer and I have no security software running when I do this.
Any idea why it is not working?
Thanks, Victor

I cannot open Iphoto on my macbook pro

I cannot open Iphoto on my macbook pro what do I do?

That's a bit like saying my car is broken, what do I do?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

I cannot open safari on my Macbook Pro Yosemite How do I reinstall it?

I have recently purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina with Yosemite OS X. I got Trovi.com adware on the computer and in the process of removing this I lost the use of Safari. When I attempt to open Safari I get a message telling me It does not connect with the server. How can this be rectified and how do I reinstall the software if this is the method to use?
John Atkinson

JudySings,
I tried all your suggestions without success. However, I have now been able to recover Safari access to server, or at least Safari seems to be working. I pick up the solution among a number on Duck Duck web site.
Here is what was suggested and worked.
Go to Safari> Preferences>Privacy
Clk Cookies and Web site data-Highlight only "Always allow" option and "Remove all website data".
Go to " Website use of Local Services and only highlight "Deny without prompting".
The Safari message of "Safari cannot connect to server" did not appear and the browser bar opened.
I cannot answer why this worked but it did.
I thank you for your help.

I suddenly cannot open facebook on my macbook pro running OSX 10.8.4. I am traveling in Vietnam, if that means anything. . .

Hi. I've been traveling, using facbook on iphone and my macbook. Suddenly I cannot access Facebook. I prefer to use Safari as my broser, but I downloaded Mozilla tonight to just see if it was a browser issue. The problem carries over into Mozilla Firefox. Both say they can't find the server. However, I can access facebook through my iPhone.
Can anyone help me so I can use facebook through my computer--I'd like to use it on my computer. I use Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.4. iPhone is iPhone 5 running 6.1.4.
Thanks,
EST

Try enabling the Personal Hotspot on the iPhone and connecting the Mac to the Internet thru it. If Facebook works ok then, that would mean the ISP is either blocking or having connection problems whereas the phone carrier is not.
Be mindful that carrier data charges can be outrageous so use this as a test first.

Cannot open Appleworks documents

Hi,
I hope this is an easy fix. I clicked on the Appleworks icon in the dock and it disappeared. Went to the MacIntosh HD icon and clicked. Clicked on documents, and I see each on each appleworks icon, beside the titled document, a symbol similar to the "previous page/next page" box in the upper left corner of the screen. When I click on the appleworks icon to open the document, I get the message "there is no default application to open the document "(title of the document).cwk". Wants me to choose another application. Don't know what that means. Tried to update appleworks and "updater was unable to find an installation of appleworks to update in the specific update location". Don't know how appleworks suddenly became inacessible.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

"I have AppleWorks 6 folder in applications -- see mostly photos or pictures and some AppleWorks tools, but don't find AppleWorks 6.app. "
The only things that should be in Applications > AppleWorks 6 should be items that the AppleWorks installer put there when AppleWorks was installed on your hard drive (most likely at the factory, since yours is an eMac).
These include:
AppleWorks Web Site
AppleWorks Essentials
AppleWorks Extras
AppleWorks Extra Fonts
Starting Points
Late-breaking News
Clippings
AppleWorks Users Group
AppleWorks 6 Documentation
AppleWorks 6
All are folders, except for AppleWorks 6 (the application package) and AppleWorks Web Site (a web address document). They'll be listed in a different order than here.
Anything else in the AppleWorks 6 folder is likely something that you, or another user, has put there. Storing user's files in an application folder is generally a bad idea. User's files tend to be files that are moved around and occasionally deleted. Opening an Applcation's folder to delete anything opens the possibility of accidently deleting anything else in the folder, including the application itself. That may be what's happened here.
If AppleWorks has indeed been dleted from your hard drive, the next step is to reinstall it, then update the installed version to AW 6.2.9. Installation is done from the original Install disk(s) that came with your eMac. Instructions on doing that can be found in a couple of documents in Apple's Knowledge Base. You'll find links to both in this post by Peggy.
Regards,
Barry

I had Microsoft Office installed in my Macbook Air by one of the technicians in the store, it was working fine the first week but after that it started popping a notice saying it cannot verify my suscription online and now I cannot open any documents?

I just bought a Macbook Air almost a month now. When I bought it, the technician installed Microsoft Office 365 as they were having a promotion at the time. However after a week of using it, it started popping up a notice saying that it cannot verify Microsoft Office. I still managed to open the word document but as of today, it will not open. I took it to the Mac store last week, and they said that there was nothing wrong with it and they could not figure out any problem.
I don't know what to do and I am in desperate need of help. I cannot open my documents at all and I have my research paper that I need to finish writing. This is very disappointing and extremely stressful for me. If anyone has any suggestions of how this can be fixed, please let me know. I do not want to lose my hard work =(

Microsoft Office 365 is a subscription - based service. You have to pay for it... and keep paying for it... and paying for it... as in 365 days a year... or lose your hard work.
Office Home Premium is a mere $10 a month, but a convenient annual subscription is only $100 a year. This is a substantial discount to Microsoft's Office 365 business products ($150 / employee / year).
Such a deal! Are you not absolutely thrilled?
Here are some slightly more reasonable alternatives, all of which are compatible with their Office equivalents:
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($10 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (completely free)
Numbers ($19.99)
Pages ($19.99)

how can i open and edit microsoft documents in macbook pro with retina display? I am a new user to mac book

You could install Office for Mac. You could install a free Office-like program such as LibreOffice. You could open the documents with a program like Pages. Or you could install Windows and Office on your Macbook Pro.

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers as Snow Leopard does?

Will Lion open Appleworks documents with Pages or Numbers like Snow Leopard does? Or do I have to convert all my Appleworks files before installing Lion?

Functionality of Pages and Numbers has little to do with whether it's runnong on Snow Leopard or Lion. Either way, if they open an AppleWorks document in SL, they'll open it in Lion. Of course, you have to understand that certain file types - particularly, AppleWorks databases - cannot be opened with anything other than AppleWorks, so you'll need to convert them with AppleWorks before upgrading to Lion.
