How can I open old cwk files using OS X 10.8.4?

I have tried to open old cwk files using Pages, using Numbers and using Keynote as well as trying to open them with Word or even OpenOffice.  However, the most I can get is what looks like gibberish.  Any suggestions?  Thanks

Don't know if you found a solution to your cwk File problem but I had the same problem and solved it by downloading this program and was able to open my old cwk files.
libreoffice That will oppen old cwk files and its free (by donation)
Hope this helps?
Cheers

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

    Alas, you can't.
    You can open nearly all of them. Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents but not AppleWorks 5 ones.
    Word Processing documents can be opened directly only in Pages.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). (It's possible to copy Draw documents into a Word Processing document in order to open them in Pages, but you need AppleWorks to do this in the first place.)
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in Numbers.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in Keynote.
    Nothing will open AppleWorks databases or Paint documents: the only way to access them is to open them in AppleWorks and export.

  • How can I open/save .xlsx file using java

    Hi
    I have a jsp whose contenttype of response is application/vnd.ms-excel.
    When I am saving the file as .xlsx and opening from disk it displays error message.
    How can I save and/or open the file as .xlsx?
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Checkout the Apache POI XSSF API or the OpenXML4J API's to create xlsx files and use a servlet to write it to the outputstream.

  • How can I open AppleWorks 6 files using Pages or Word?

    I am currently running Mac OS X v.10.4.11, but I am turning in my old mac for a new one in about a week. Almost all of my important files are AppleWorks 6 files and my new mac will not have this program since it has been replaced with Pages. I currently have AppleWorks 6, Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac, and Pages 08 on my old mac. I am unsure as to what applications I will have on my new mac (I am a teacher and the macs are school computers so I do not have control over the software), but I think it will have both Word 2008 and Pages 08 or 09. So far I have not had any luck opening my AppleWorks files in Pages or Word. I have been able to copy and paste the AppleWorks files into Pages (they are mostly Draw documents, not simple word processing), but they become an image so I cannot edit the content. I need to be able to edit my documents on my new computer and do not have time to open each AppleWorks file and copy it to Pages anyway. Any suggestions to help me with this compatibility problem?

    AppleWorks will run fine on your new Mac, though if you transfer it from the old one you should delete it from there to stay within the terms of the licence. You would need to copy the Appleworks folder over, not just the application.
    Pages can open Appleworks 6 word processing documents, Numbers can open Appleworks 6 spreadsheets. It's possible to open AW Draw documents in Eazydraw, or in Pages through a workaround. Nothing will open AW Database documents.
    I have written a detailed article going into the process of migrating from Appleworks, including the workaround for Draw>Pages:

  • How can I open my cwk files?

    Since Appleworks 6 doesn't exist anymore I have tons of files that cannot be opened. What can I do?

    You will get better answers on a generic Apple forum, but I would wager a guess and say to simply write them off. Unless youi can get an old Mac or an emulator that would be able to run an old AppleWorks and open the files to export them to whatever format, this is simply a no go...

    Check the folder for the songs on your external hard drive.  Is the session file still contained in each one?  The session file's the one with the .ses ending.

  • How can I open and edit files that were developed and published by ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access.

    How can I open and edit files that were developed and published via ftp to my host on my old macbook, which I can no longer access. The HD containing the files cannot be accessed. I want to be able to download the published files to be edited in iweb?

    You CAN'T download published files and then edit them in iWeb because iWeb can't open them - it has no import facility so is unable to open any html or css files - a previously published site.
    You can download these files yes, but you'll need to use them as a guide or to cut and paste text from there whilst you re-build your site in iWeb.
    The only other way is to download the files and then open them with an html editor such as TextWrangler or use one of the other web design programmes out there that is capable of importing html and css such as Dreamweaver of Flux 4.
    These are your only alternatives as iWeb can't import and if you want to continue to use iWeb, then you'll have to re-build your site from scratch.  If you do just remember to back up your domain.sites file this time around - it is found under your User/Library/Applicaion Support/iWeb/domain.sites.

  • How do I open old tiff files in PS CS5

    How do I open old tiff files in PS CS5?

    Opening old files in new versions should never be a problem - unless they have originally been saved in other applications that don't follow the file format specifications. Or the files are corrupted.
    The other way around can sometimes be tricky because of new features not present in the old version.
