How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files?  I would like to convert them into Pages documents.  I also have old Word Perfect documents which have become similarly unopenable.

Best bet might be to try opening them using LibreOffice [free] and save them to .doc.
Do you really want to save them as .pages files? You are jumping from the frypan into the fire. Yet another proprietary format that Apple has again deadended with no working translation.

  • I have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i have 3 different itunes accounts and would like to combine them into just one for all my devices, a macbook pro, an iphone 4S, an older IPOD, and a ver sion one Ipad. how can i do this on all devices ?

    i had one for a long time, then when i got the ipad i didn't realize they would all still work under one so i set up the second one on that
    then when i got the new iphone i put in the info for the first and main one from my mac pro and it would not work at all, and i knew it was right, then it asked me to create a new one or i couldnt finish the setup
    hence why i have 3 now
    hard to believe you cannot combine into one
    oh well, i will just make them all accessible for all 3
    thanks

    You do not.
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • Hi, I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

    I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

    If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
    Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
    That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

  • How can I open a subvi when running a vi in an application (executable file)

    I have a vi that I converted into an executable file.  I would like to run it and at the same time be able to open the front panel of one of its subvis.  Does anybody know how to do that?
    Thanks,
    Jerome.

    You can set the SubVI to "Open Front Panel when Called" and "Close Afterward if Originally Closed" - that makes it a pop-up window. When your main calls it, the subVI window opens up. You do stuff, click the DONE button, and it disappears, and the main is up front again. (Make sure your subVI is MODAL if you do this).
    You can use the VI SERVER to load the VI, given a path to it. You can set the subVI to "Open Front Panel when Loaded", or you can set FRONT PANEL.OPEN to TRUE when you want it to appear, and FALSE when you want it to go away.
    You can make a subpanel on your main, and have the subVI inserted into that.

  • Using chmod to converting document back into Unix Executable FIle

    Can someone remind me how you change document files back into Unix Executables with chmod? I'm a Unix novice but have done this before and can't remember how to do it. Is this slip from exec to doc a file extension problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi Toolshed4,
    > I assume the permissions change when the file
    is copied through the Finder.
       When a new file is created, even by copying, I believe that the new permissions are determined by the system umask, so I would expect a file to have permissions of 644. I think that ownership is determined by the creating process and the group is inherited from the parent directory. On the other hand, if the file is moved (instead of copied) within a volume, permissions shouldn't change.
    > Do I need to become the root user to do this?
       I can't answer any questions about permissions without knowing what they are. The following command has a few options selected that should provide all of the permissions related information of which the ls command is capable of getting.
    ls -leoR /<Path>/<to>/<Script>
    If instead of a script the above path points to a directory, the above listing will descend into subdirectories recursively, thanks to the "-R" option. The man page for "ls" will describe the other options I've selected.

  • I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

    I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together.  How can i do this?

    You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
    NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
    Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

  • HT1349 how do you import video to Aperture from a dvd with a unix executable file

    how do you import video to Aperture or imovie from a dvd with a unix executable file?

    Allan's suggestion of using the iDisk will work but will fill up the iDisk unless you do housecleaning occasionally. Another, non Apple way would be to upload them to an account on Twango.com. It sort of like MyTube but for photos and videos and is more personal in nature. It's free (monthly uploads are limited to 250MB/mo) and others can easily pop into your public channel (individual sections of a person's account are called channels) and download whatever size you want. You can select the size of your uploads from full sized to 1600, 1024 or 640 pixels max. What I like about the site is that you can email photos to your account. Makes it rather easy. You can also add slideshows and a ticker tape type of display from Twango to web pages (they create the code to use for the channel you select) like this. It's not an Apple thing but I've found it's quick. May or may not be what you're looking for.
    Do you Twango?

  • HT1751 I have 2 Itunes accounts and would like to merge them into one. How can I do that?

    I have 2 Itunes accounts, one with all my music librairy and a 2nd I created after purchasing my Ipad. I didn't realize then I could have used my Itunes credentials. How can I merged both under the same account without loosing my purchases?

    As Niel stated, you cannot merge them.
    You can keep the purchased items in your iTunes library and use them with no issues.
    Just pick one of the AppleIDs and stick with that one.

  • I have a box of dvds, and i would like to transfer them onto my computer on itunes and then onto my iPad. Does any know how to do this in a step by step process?

  • I think I have 2 itune accounts open and would like to consolidate them into one -don't know my user name of the one account how can I consolidate these

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sorry, the forum is not letting me post links.  You will need to add the https stuff to the start of this --> iforgot.apple.com/
    To identify an account used to purchase an item:
    In iTunes, select one of the items purchased from the iTunes store. Click on "Purchased" under iTunes store on the left side of iTunes.
    Right click --> get info.
    On the Info tab will be the Apple/iTunesID used to purchase the item.
    You cannot combine accounts.  Anything bought with one will permanently be associated to that account.  Decide which one will be your main one and just use it.  Keep stuff from the other backed up so you don't have to log into that account again unless essential.

  • My family has multiple itunes accounts, and would like to merge them into a single cloud account.  How do I do this?

    We are trying to combine music into a shared library so we can eliminate all of the duplicate purchases.  Is this possible?

    That's not exactly correct. It is possible to sign in to one account for media sharing and another account for iCloud. When you initially set up the device, it may automatically sign you into one account for everything, but you can go to preferences and change this.
    Each family member should have their own iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, photostream, etc, but you all sign into the same account for iTunes.
    Unfortunately there is no way to consolodate the media you have already purchased.

  • I have my old Internet Explorer-Favorites in a drawer and would like to import them in FireFox

    I have my old Internet Explorer Favorites in a drawer on the harddisk and would like to import them into FireFox. How can do this?

    1.
    Open up a Firefox window.
    2.
    Click on the "Bookmarks" menu and select "Manage Bookmarks." If you are using Firefox 3.6.2, then you need to click on "Organize Bookmarks..."
    3.
    In the window that pops up click on the "File" menu and select "Import." In case of Firefox 3.6.2, click on "Import and Backup" just above the list. Then click on the "Import HTML" option from the drop-down list. A new window comes up.
    4.
    Select the "Microsoft Internet Explorer" option if you are importing favorites from Internet Explorer on the same computer. Then click next. If you are importing from a file of saved bookmarks or favorites choose "From File" and click next.
    5.
    Select the file in the open window that pops up and then click "Open" if you are importing from a file. Firefox will do the rest for you. If importing from Internet Explorer, just click "Finished" when it's done.
