How do I translate AppleWorks and ClarisWorks documents in Mavericks OS?

Many years a Mac User, Over time, I have accumulated many documents in AppleWorks and ClarisWorks. Unfortunately as the OS updates came along, I didn't always translate many of these documents. Is there any way, now, to translate these word proccessing documents in the latest 10.9.2 Mavericks OS?

Pages may be able to open some of them.

AppleWorks and OS X 10.4.6

After installing OS X 10.4.6, AppleWorks (v 6.2.9) seems intent upon crashing every single time I attempt to use it.
I can launch A.W., and get to the Starting Points screen. I can even open a new Word Processing document. However, as soon as I touch a key to type—Crash! It freezes up, then presents me with the "Application has unexpectedly quit" screen.
I have tried deleting all AppleWorks Preferences, in all Libraries, to no avail.
I've also tried reinstalling AppleWorks, and deleting all Pref Files. It still crashes.
Have I missed something? Is A.W. no longer compatible with Tiger? Is there something I can do, to still use it, short of running it in Classic-Mode, or Launching OS 9?
I apologize if this has already been addressed in these forums. Any help would be appreciated, though. Thanks.
eMac w/Combo Drive Mac OS X (10.4.6) 700 Mhz, 512 MB Ram.

Rosetta and Mac Classic Support Disappointment (please excuse my rant)

As a MAC user since 1984, I am very disappointed in the disappearance of Rosetta. I am actually still upset that the Classic OS became missing in Tiger. In contrast, great effort has been made by Apple to support PC users. How about putting a little bit of that effort toward people that supported Apple all through Mac history?
We have plenty of applications and data files that can only be used with older applications - and the path to that data is severed. There are older applications that have no upgrade path, are no longer produced or were nifty freeware or purchased shareware programs that still have value. Replacing that functionality might be found, but at significant cost. Data in proprietary formats are locked into the programs that no longer can run.
So - OK - we can hang on to our old OS for now, but soon new versions of applications will require the newer OS and we will have to once again choose what doesn't make the cut, ultimately losing capability we once had or becoming forced to spend a lot to buy or upgrade to new software to hold ground.
I seriously wish that Apple would reconsider support for Rosetta and even the Classic OS. We can boot Linux or Windows using VMWare or Fusion - but cannot reach PPC applications or Classic applications. Even fonts that were purchased may no longer work if they are the wrong kind, and there needs to be a better, OS included utility to sort the font business out on upgrading.
I probably posted a similar message at the time of the 68030/68000 switch to PPC as many of my programs were retired abruptly. I have had to replace SCSI external devices with Firewire, and then live in fear of a disappearance of Firewire. Now I have to keep a bone yard of computers alive in my basement to protect from losing contact with past work.
Apple: Please support past customers.
If anyone has found a way to install earlier OS X versions in a virtual machine, or run Classic, let me know. Maybe I am just not well informed. For now I will have to avoid the new OS - Lion.

Thanks for the link to SheepShaver - I will definitely check that out.   I have moved zip disk data to hard disks and DVDs, and have moved some of the floppies, however, that is only one piece of the puzzle.   I can't tell you how many times I have opened up a file to find that it an older version of PowerPoint that Microsoft doesn't support any longer (yes, Apple is not alone in stranding users actually doing work) or finding an old MacDraw or other program that cannot be opened or transformed to something that will open it. That event is usually followed by pondering on how long is it going to take to resurect the old system to view the data versus simply recreating it with new tools, hoping my memory is good enough. Usually the dive into the old pile is because the memory needs the refresh!
I have already discarded several 9-track tapes that were stored, and 1/4 tape carts, and even those tiny HP tape cartridges from the old smart terminals since it has been years since I had anything that would read those. I am getting close to discarding stored floppies also - - If I haven't visited those floppies in a while, then there probably isn't anything there I truly need. - - That is not the main issue. -- I am nervous about the future of Firewire due to investment in my music hardware that depends on firewire, but it is not so much the hardware updates that bother me, (I really don't miss my paper tape punch and reader!), but it is the loss of recent, still viable applications that did not make the leap from PPC to Intel that are now falling off the map that hurt the most.   Half of those can be "re-bought" and upgraded to Intel versions by shelling out cash, while others are simply retired and totally unavailable.   If I had Tiger on an external HD to make use of PPC apps and Classic Apps, that would be great. Since Tiger was on my PPC Mac I doubt that hard disk would boot on an Intel Mac for lack of specific hardware drivers.    For now I am ok with using my old Mac networked with my new one.
It just seems too easy for manufactuers to eliminate things we have come to depend on - such as Microsoft's removal of Visual Basic support from Microsoft products - and then - In 2011 Visual Basic was reinstated in Mac Excell and Word.   I have had to say good by to MacDraw, and now AppleWorks, and even QuickTimePro.   But we have also seen features leave Apple iMovie and then return - so I do believe users should voice their opinion when something like Rosetta and Classic turns up missing!      Maybe they will come back.
Thanks for the discussion and ideas.

Does os 10.7 still support appleworks and quicken

Does OS 10.7 still work with Appleworks and Quicken 2004? Presently using 10.6.8 which does

Quicken 2004:
OS X Lion 10.7 no longer provides Rosetta which is the translation software that allowed PowerPC applications to run on Intel Macs.
Intuit released Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) for $15 download from its website:
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
However FIRST, you must download Quicken 2006 PowerPC from Intuit and use it to open your Quicken 2004 data file and it will automatically convert the data file to Quicken 2005/6/7 format. Then the converted data file will open in the new Quicken 2007 for Intel.

Can't Get MacBook Pro and Mac Pro to Network

I have a MacBook Pro (2008 - 2.5 Ghz. Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) that I have been connecting to my Mac Pro (2005 - 2 2.66 Ghz Xeon with 20 Gb of RAM running OS X 10.6.7) through an Ethernet switch on my school's network. This has worked without a hitch for years, but when I upgraded to 10.6.7 recently, the MacBook and Mac Pro fail to network. On the MacBook Pro, the Mac Pro's icon doesn't show in the shared area, and on the Mac Pro, I can see the icon for the MacBook Pro, but when I click on the icon to connect, I get the message that "Connection Failed There was an error connecting to the server (name of my MacBook Pro). Check the server name or IP address, and then try again." I have tried a direct connect using the "Connect to Server" under the Go menu on both machines, using their IP addresses, but no luck. Is there something I need to re-set to get these two to talk again? I have other Macs on the same network that my MacBook and my Mac Pro can see, and both machines can connect to them. They just can't connect to each other.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have on how to fix this.

I fixed the problem by re-setting the default values for my VirusBarrier X6 anti-virus program.

Want to use a Lacie External Hard Disk with Windows and Mac? Can I?...

Hi, I've just purchased a Lacie Extreme D2 external hard disk, I'm looking to use it to move film clips from my Mac G5 to my Sony Vaio laptop. I'll connect the Mac using Firewire 1 and the PC using USB 1.
I understand there is an issue with setting the compaitibility of the hard disk to either Mac or Windows format but I'm wondering if I can set it to both, so it's possible to transfer these files? The hard disk is Windows and Mac compatible but does it have to be partitioned a certain way?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

Format the drive as FAT or use the Mac format (HFS Extended) and install MacDrive on the PC.

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

My 10.8.3 update did not install properly citing an 'Unknown Error'. Now, my Mail and Mac App Store aren't working. What went wrong and how do i fix it ?

I tried this and still have the same problems. If I open Address book or the Mac App Store I get the library rebuild popup and a hang. I created a fresh user and then things are better apart from the printing issue. Its clearly some 3rd party software issue but the crash logs are meningless to me. I used the excellent Etre check app from http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck so I have a list of what is being loaded and can compare clean and crashed user info but as I cant work out which of the startup items, launch agents, launch daemons etc that are causing the problem.
I have eliminated Dropbox, Mac Keeper and Witness, and it isnt related to my exterrnal LED cinema dispay or my external thunderbolt drives, or any USB devices if thats any help to anyone else. Info from Etrecheck follows -

HT204291 Airplay mirroring. Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions

Airplay mirroring.
Macbook 2012 retina display. Unable to see desktop on television, audio works perfectly. Both OS on ATV and Mac are running latest versions.
Firewall set correctly (allow incoming...)
When I click mirroring to turn it on, teh Apple TV screen goes blank (from its home setting)
Any help appreciated.

Hi!
I figured it out! It was a firewall issue.
I use Handsoff and I checked it before i wrote here. There was no "user defined rule" that denied the communication but when i changed to "All rules" the program displayed several rules regarding AppleTV and its IP.
So if anybody has the same problem make sure you see all rules of your firewall and get rid of the AppleTV related rules generated by the program itself. You dont need to update to the latest iOS on the AppleTV!
I hope that I can help some people with this info to fix the problem.

Flash (is it for me?), Wacom Cintiq 22HD, and Mac Mini

I have Flash as part of the CS6 Master Suite, which I purchased primarily for InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere, but as yet I haven't opened Flash. I'm hoping someone here can save me time by advising me whether Flash is suitable for my purposes. I'm not a professional, just a keen amateur, but I do want to use quality software and equipment to do the finest job I can.
Answers to a previous post in the Illustrator forum (Re: Animation – is Illustrator what I should be using?) suggested that I try Flash.
Background
I'll be using Premiere for converting my audio-visuals to HD format. Back in the 1980s I was right into three-screen slide shows. As part of the transforming, I'll be introducing a small number of video clips (hence my need for Premiere) and also short animation sequences, probably 10 seconds at most. The animation will be done by an artist friend who is keen to extend his talents into computer art. If I buy the computer (some sort of Mac), a Cintiq, load the appropriate software, and then loan it all to Steve and show him how to use it, he'll happily spend as much time as required for the animation. We're bartering: he gets to use a computer and tablet for as long as he wants, I get animation.
A typical animation might involve Steve drawing outlines at appropriate intervals, over a background, then having the software generate the in-betweens. Watercolour-style shading (i.e. not fill-type, monotone colour) would be added, probably manually for each frame, unless the tweening can competently handle watercolour-style shading. For some of Steve's doodlings on his iPad (simplified versions of what we're aiming for), check out http://www.mediafire.com/download/sj731c17co55g5w/Steve's_iPad_Work.zip
We're both new to this and recently spent an afternoon together looking at videos on Flash and the Cintiq. The combination looks like it will work for us, but I have a few questions which I'm hoping some of the experts on this forum can answer. A simple yes or no may save me hours of reading documentation only to find out that something won't work as I want. I'll also include some questions about the Cintiq and Mac Mini in case someone who uses them with Flash can provide answers. I live in a place where I have no access to these devices before I buy. I have to buy 'cold'. Thus my wariness.
Please note: I'm not an artist and Steve isn't computer literate. So some of these questions might appear pretty dumb to an experienced user of Flash/Cintiq.
Ques 1
Is Synfig Studio (as suggested at the end of my Illustrator thread) something I should consider? Or is Flash a better bet?
Ques 2
Does Flash have vector tools that mimic a watercolour paintbrush like in Photoshop? Or is that not possible as a vector, and such effects have to be done outside Flash and then imported as background (or other method)?
Ques 3
When a Flash animation is finished, how is it exported, for example, to Premier? Do you export as h.264?
Ques 4
It is not clear to Steve and I after viewing three Cintiq videos, how the Cintiq interfaces to Flash. Does the Cintiq know about Flash, and appropriates certain drawing tools automatically? Or do you have to tell Flash (or the Cintiq) that this button on the Cintiq now operates this tool in Flash?
Ques 5
Do Flash and Cintiq work well together – and easily?
Ques 6
Do I need a monitor to be able to use Flash with the Cintiq? Or would a Mac Mini be a suitable computer – with the Cintiq acting as monitor? Steve won't ever be using this setup as a computer. He'll be treating the Cintiq as a canvas on which to draw and paint.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hi Guy,
I thought I was the only one around who was old enough to have worked on wide screen multi-image slide shows!
Flash may be the right product for you and Steve. I use Flash with an Intuos 4 tablet and it works fine. What you want to do is to search the Flash forums for references to Cintiq. There may be some problems that interfere with your intended use, or it may work exactly as you want. The important element for working with any Wacom product is to be sure that you are using the latest drivers for the Wacom product.
If you choose to use a mac mini, get a new one, one that can use a lot of memory, you'll need it.
You can export Flash files to video in most any file type and compression is installed on the computer. So, if you're going to use a Mac, install Quicktime Pro and you should have everything that you need.
I have never heard of or used Synfig Studio, so I can't comment on that.
Flash's paint tools are different from Photoshop and more similar to Illustrator's. You will have all of the flexibility of the Cintiq to control painting effects, it will take some practice, but you should be able to get the effect that you're describing.
Hope this helps with your decision.

How to connect a 23" Cinema display and mac mini to an AV Receiver?

I am trying to get my 23" Cinema display and Mac Mini to a Yamaha RX-2700 AV Receiver. I am on first name terms with the guy in Maplins because I tried to get an Xbox 360 working with this display before and gave up in the end. The AV receiver has upscaling capability so I thought I'd try again. I tried connecting a HDMI - DVI adapter to the HDMI Out on the receiver and a HMDI to DVI cable from the Mac Mini to the HDMI in with a optical cable for the sound. The sound works fine but I get no display - the LED on the monitor flashes three times with a blank screen so it can't read the signal. Another option suggested was to use a VGA Converter connected to a VGA - HDMI cable but I would like to find out if that would work before going down that route?
I am looking for some advice about whether this type of configuation is possible with the 23" ACD and if so what do I need to buy to make it work? I love the quality of my ACD to avoid having to replace it with a TV to get my multi media life in order.
Many thanks

Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

Quicktime encoding using x264 encoder failing in AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2

I'm trying to encode an x264 codec Quicktime using AME 6.0.2.81 and Mac OS 10.8.2. I also tried it with two versions of the x264 encoder which I downloaded from here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24173/x264encoder
This encoder works 100% fine and better than the h264 encoder when using Apple Compressor and Apple QT Pro V7. I've been however trying to transition all of my video encodes to AME due to a number of reasons: dynamic link to AE, Premiere and the interface to name a few.
Everytime I start an encode it gives me an error and I hear that blasted sheep. lol. This is what the log displays, which is frankly probably no help to anyone.
- Encoding Time: 00:00:00
01/13/2013 04:48:10 PM : Encoding Failed
Export Error
Error compiling movie.
Unknown error.
I've also tried to specify the bitrate and have had no luck. Whether I specify the bitrate or not, I still get the error. The source video has been PNG sequences and ProRes movies at 1920x1080, 29.97fps. Both result in the same unknown error.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I know this is pretty old now, but I thought I'd add a reply for those who are having this issue. I just had AME CC 2014 fail on me today, and this is the FIRST thing I've ever tried to render with it. I'm using a TGA sequence and exporting to an X264 codec Quicktime MOV file at 720p. I restarted a few times, repaired permissions etc. and nothing worked except for the following.
I went to:
Library/Preferences/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder/8.0/
I deleted the entire 8.0 folder (or you could delete whatever version you are having problems with). I then restarted AME and the preferences were recreated and I could successfully use the x264 codec again. Hope this helps someone.

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox
