How do I Open Appleworks files with Microsoft Works

I have MS Works 6.0, and WORD for Windows XP.
My files from school are all in Appleworks 5.0.
Can I open them?
HP Pavillion Windows XP

Nope.
If it's only the actual text that needs to be transferred, save the AppleWorks files as ASCII Text.
The alternative is to acquire a copy of AppleWorks for Windows (available only from the Education Store).

How do I open a file with an .msg extension please?

Hello, can anyone tell me how I can open a file with an .msg extention please?

On a Classic operating system, which predates 2001, it may be difficult, except with a really old version of BBEdit Lite from http://www.barebones.com/
Newer versions of BBEdit or Textwrangler can probably also open it if you don't have a Classic operating system.
Microsoft Entourage and Outlook can probably also open such documents. Outlook Express was available for Classic operating systems as well, but it may be too new for it to read those documents.

How can I open Appleworks files in Leopard?

I installed Leopard as an upgrade on my MacBook without problems. Everything seemed to open and print on my Epson Stylus CX7800 without problems; I was able to scan and print from a scanned file without difficulty; there was even an enhanced print dialog which was great. HOWEVER, when I opened files created with Appleworks 6.2.9, or created and successfully saved a new document and I attempted to print it AppleWorks and the print dialogue either locked up or crashed. I tried massaging everything I knew of but still was unable to print any AppleWorks document. I get the print screen and click print but nothing, nada happens. I cannot print to PDF on the left hand dropdown either.
I repaired permissions (both before and after installing Leopard) and have also dumped AppleWorks preference file, then restarting all to no avail. I cannot open the Appleworks files with either Pages or Keynote (did not even recognize the word processing files). When I attempt to, they crash after appearing to open a word processing file but all I got was gibberish! I attempted to open the files with Adobe 8 but it would recognize them and seemed to open them but then I got a "cannot open" message.
I have heard that trying to use Leopard with AppleWorks can cause a corruption of the hard drive. Is this true? I did find a way to solve my immediate problem but it is not one I like at all. I finally wiped one segment of my external 250GB drive and installed Tiger on it, then copied all my files to that segment. I can load and print Appleworks normally as before. I guess that is one kind of "fix" if a bit unwieldy since I prefer to use my MacBook from my reclining chair because of severe arthritis. ( I will again be out of the loop for awhile as my right knee is being replaced tomorrow.)
I am so curious as to why some seem to be able to use their AppleWorks. I did install Leopard as an update rather than wiping my HD and doing a new install. Should I delete AppleWorks and all associated files and reinstall AppleWorks and reinstall Leopard from scratch? Do you think that would help? I would appreciate any help anyone can give me as there are other problems with Leopard but less onerous than this one. Anyone out there to help the thousands of us who have used AppleWorks extensively as educators?
MacBook 2GHz Intel Core Duo with 2 GB 67 MHz DDR2 SDRAM and Leopard 10.5.1

I have heard that trying to use Leopard with AppleWorks can cause a corruption of the hard drive. Is this true?
No, not at all. AppleWorks actually runs better in Leopard on both my PPC & Intel Macs than it did in Tiger. I have found AppleWorks to be faster & more stable in Leopard on an Intel than any other system I've used.
I repaired permissions (both before and after installing Leopard) and have also dumped AppleWorks preference file, then restarting all to no avail.
There are more than one AppleWorks preferences to delete. Only deleting the .plist or just the files in the AppleWorks folder in Preferences will not work. They must all be deleted at the same time. Take a look at this user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly.
Deleting the preferences often fixes printing problems. Also, make sure you have the newest driver for your printer from the manufacturer's web site.
I did install Leopard as an update rather than wiping my HD and doing a new install. Should I delete AppleWorks and all associated files and reinstall AppleWorks and reinstall Leopard from scratch?
Possibly. I chose to do erase & install with migrating users & data for all of my Macs. I did try the upgrade with the MacBook Pro & it was a disaster with failure to start up after installing Leopard. I was willing to take the chance because everything on my MacBook Pro is on my desktop Mac.

How do i open CR2 files with photoshop cs5?

Adobe camera raw will not open CR2 files in photoshop. How do i open these files? i have tried updating camera raw witht he last 8 updates but it still will not open. Camera raw shows a pop up box saying the file is not supported.

I also noticed that Adobe's site says that it supports canon 70D CS2 files. my camera files are CR2, im not sure if maybe that might have something to do with my issue.
Nothing to do with anything being faulty in CS5.
The reason has already been given by tpolakov above: The 70D was first supported in Camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with CS6 and later. CS5 is not compatible with Camera Raw 8.2 so CS5 cannot read Raw files from the 70D. That's all there is to it.

Thanks Tomsm13, I actually tried to convert the files to DNG but that doesnt work either. I used the latest compatable Adobe DNG converter and i get a message that it can not find any camera RAW files to convert.
You select a folder containing CR2 files, not a CR2 file.

How can I open RAW files with PSE 12 from Olympus o-md e-m 10?

How cam I open RAW files ? I use PSE 12, the Olympus om-d em 10 and windows 7.

Photoshop Elements 12 should be able to recognise raw files from the OM-D E-M10.
Check which camera raw you currently have by loading the editor, going to the Help menu and selecting About plug-in -> Camera Raw
If it not at version 8.5 then go to the Help menu and select Updates

How can I open items made with apple works

How can I open items made with apple works

You need to purchase Pages for your iMac. You can buy it from the App Store.
I don't know if the version of Pages for the iPad will open the Apple Works documents. If you have the documents on your Mac and want to open them on your iPad the easiest way I can think of is to open a DropBox (Google it) account and store the documents there. Then you can try to open the documents in Pages on your iPad. If that doesn't work then I know Pages for OS X will open the Apple Works WP documents.

How can I open a file with an SPD file extension?

Hi
I have started a course for which I have received some literature in pdf format. I have made hand written annotations to a pdf file using my Samsung Note tablet, which I have then put into Dropbox, with the intention of storing on my IMAC.
I then tried to open this file on my IMAC but received a message that Adobe Reader couldn't open it as the file was not supported, or might have been damaged.
Any ideas on how I might be able to get around this problem?
Do I need something other than "Reader"?
Comments will be very gratefully received by this novice user
regards

"not supported, or might have been damaged."
That's key. If you're using Safari to download PDFs, it can do this.
Trash the SPD file. It can't be repaired.
Download the Adobe Reader FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Save the DMG to your downloads folder.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
Empty the trash.
Download AppZapper (it's a free trial) and install it.
Launch AppZapper, and drag the Adobe Reader app to the window.
"Zap" it and anything else in the window to the trash.
Empty the trash.
Install Reader from the downloaded DMG and re-download the SPD file.

How do I open iWork files with updated OS

I updated to Maverick which also updated iWork. Now I get the notice that I need the latest version of Pages or Numbers when I try to open files. This happens with old files as well as files created in the latest version of iWork. How do I correct this problem?

Like you, I downloaded the new versions at the same time. I just checked the version of Numbers and it said v 2.3. When I go to Software Updates, it states I installed v 3.0. When I right click on a file, it shows v 3.0 as the default and I can open the file. When I try to open Recent Files I don't have that option. There appears to be a disconnect somewhere.

How can u open a file with .exe extension after it was unpacked?

Thank you Linc Davis for THE ARCHIVER, I was able to unpacked the program. However, after it was unpacked, I clicked the file wtih .exe extension and I got a message that this file will not be extract with this program. Is there another way to open file with .exe extension after it was unpacked by THE ARCHIVER...??? Any assistance is highly appreciated.

.exe files are Windows executables and do not run in OS X. You would have to install Windows to use it.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How do I open PageMaker files with InDesignCC?

I don't need a discussion. I need a simple answer.

The simple answer is you don't. The last version that could open PM files is CS6. Your CC subscription entitles you to download and install CS6 as well.

How can I open AutoCAD Files with layers?

In Illustrator CC, I could open dwg or dxf files, but layers are merged(I tried all option when I saved in AutoCAD).
In Illustrator CS6 I could open the files keeping layers. So I thought there is the way I can open the files in CC.

That's a genuine bug as far as I know. Keep your CS6 handy...

How to open .snp files with Microsoft Office 2007 installed? It works with MS Office 2003 but not with MS Office 2007!

I have MS Office Pro Plus 2007 installed on my computer. I also have MS Office 2003 installed on another computer. Snapshot viewer is installed on both. My work snapshot files works with MS Office Access 2003 but not recognized by MS Office Access 2007. It would not allow me to save them either! Is it a problem with FireFox (3.6.8)? However, I do not have problem opening them up using IE7/8 on both computers. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you clicking a download link from an email message on an OWA or webmail site? Do you get the open/save dialog for the .snp files? In that case, you should be able to associate them with the Snapshot viewer. If Firefox does not remember this and you have to do it each time, it usually indicates that the server is not sending a specific content type, just the generic "this is some binary content" content type.

How do i open EPS file with "rasterize generic EPS format" options in photoshop CS?

Hi please can someone help!?
I'm using Photoshop CS on mac- when i open EPS format files i usually get the "rasterize generic EPS format" option so that i can select the size i want the file to be etc without losing quality. However on one file i've opened before i don't seem to be getting that option at all, if i open the EPs file it just goes to a standard size automatically and doesn't give me the chance to change the size. This is the same file that i have used since being sent the file, i've not resaved it. It used to give me the rasterize generic EPS format option but it no longer works. Any ideas how i can make those options appear when opening or how i can rasterize/resize it once open without losing quality?
Just to be clear, i still get the rasterize generic EPS format option when opening other EPS files but it seems not with this one particular file.
Many Thanks
Ross

Encapsulated PostScript-files can contain either vector-content (in which case one gets prompted when opening with Photoshop), pixel-content (in which case Photoshop opens straight away) or a mixture (same as the first case).
When a file has been rasterized that’s that, You may want to go back to the original file if You can locate it.
Edit: Sorry, I read Your original post carelessly …
Have You tried opening the original file in Illustrator yet?
