Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) states that it can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF, so that they can be opened in a variety of programs including TextEdit: I haven't tried this but it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames. It is Mountain Lion-compatible. There is a free trial:

How to open transferred IIgs appleworks files on Mac?

My cousin has many years of Appleworks files authored on a IIgs that she needs to bring into Appleworks on the Mac.
We can get them to the Mac, but cannot open them in Appleworks on the Mac.
All suggestions are appreciated!
TIA

OK. When Keith posts back we'll go from there. I'll do a little more "digging" & see if I can find what I wrote before. I'm sure I saved it. I'm hanging on to at least one older Mac with System 7-something & a functioning floppy drive to move files back & forth.
I found it. It's from February/March of last year.
The biggest problem is getting the files from the Apple IIgs to the Mac. I'm not sure that OS 9 is able to read ProDOS disks. I think (but I'm not positive) the last was OS 8.1. If you do have access to a 3.5" drive for the Apple II, you can transfer the files. The problem is that Apple II disks are 800K (double-density, not high-density) disks. There were HD 3.5" drives made for the Apple IIgs, but very few users had them & they required GSOS 6. None of the USB floppy drives available can read these older disks. If you have access to an older Mac or can e-mail the files from the IIgs, this will solve that part of the problem. An elementary school might be able to help you. Or, perhaps, one of the few Apple II User Groups still in existence.
Although both programs are named AppleWorks they are not the same. AppleWorks 6 for the Mac does not have translators for classic AppleWorks or AppleWorks GS for the Apple II. Earlier versions of ClarisWorks & AppleWorks 5 for the Mac do have translators for classic AppleWorks word processing, spreadsheets & databases as well as AWGS word processing. To transfer AWGS spreadsheet or database files, the best option is to save them as ASCII text (SS or DB), SLYK (SS) or DBF (DB) on the IIgs before transferring them to the Mac. It is also possible that MacLink Plus by DataViz has the translators.
For inexpensive options to buy AppleWorks 5 or ClarisWorks 5, try eBay and do a search for "Clarisworks", "Claris Works" or "AppleWorks" (some people put a "space" in the name). However, AppleWorks 6.2.9 cannot open a lot of ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files.

Does anyone know how to open an old AppleWorks document: Address DB.cwk is the name of the document. I've tried Pages, iWork applications, Word and keep getting an error message.

This is an old file saved from a crashed MacBook and we're trying to figure out if we can get the information from the file - a list of contacts and addresses.
Appreciate any help you can supply.

As of Lion (10.7) the PowerPC compatibility "Rosetta" utility is no longer supported by Apple. So PowerPC programs such as AppleWorks no longer work.
For old software that will run under 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 and will read some of the AppleWorks formats see:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23999077?ac_cid=tw123456#23999077
and

If your Mac came with Snow Leopard or and earlier OS you can run Snow Leopard (10.6) on an external drive or on a partition on your internal drive to continue running PowerPC programs under the Rosetta utility. Using the Startup Manager http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1310 you would boot Snow Leopard to run the PowerPC applications and then reboot a newer OS (10.7, 10.8 or 10.9) to run normally.
If you have a newer machine or will be using the PowerPC applications often and you want to run them on Snow Leopard at the same time you run a newer operating system, then you can use a virtual machine such as Parallels, VirtualBox, or VMWare Fusion. You need the Snow Leopard Server version to use it with a virtual machine (VM). You need to call Apple to order SL Server.
Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).

How do I remove the Hard disk from computer? I have an old iMac, model M5521 circa 2000. I need to wipe the disk clean to DOD specs before donating it.

I have an iMac Model M5521, circa 2000, which I must wipe the hard drive clean to DOD specs before donating it.
I have the DOD software on another non-apple computer. I need to remove the hard disk drive from the iMac to do this.
How do I get to the hard drive? I find only two screws on the back of the monitor/case and they do not help. What am I missing?
Thanks

It's not too hard but you have to take off the bottom cover of the case. These instructions shoudl show what yo uneed to do.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/103447/iMac-G3-Disassembly-Guide
I pulled the original 10G hard drive from our M5521 and replaced it with a larger one. The whole thing took under 45 minutes, including the 15 minutes it took me to recover a screw that fell into the works.

How do I open my old Appleworks documents which have turned into Unix Executable Files? I would like to convert them into Pages documents.

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.

Then you will need a copy of XP running in a virtual machine, or possibly bootcamp depending what Mac OS you're currently on.
Rather expensive way to do it, but if it's Windows software, you need Windows.

Eject your USB from your computer first and press any key to restart the computer from Windows.

How to open several psdfiles simultaniously in Camera Raw 8.1

I've replaced my Ps 5.5 by Ps 6.
Now I'm having problems with opening psd files in Camera Raw; in Ps 5 I worked from Bridge and could open that type of files from Bridge to ACR.
I just found out how to open it in Photoshop: open as....RAW file.
But I want several psd-files opening in ACR simultaniously, because I want to synchronise them.
That is not possible; I can only select just 1 file.
How to handle this?

If you can open even one PSD file in ACR, you should be here answering questions - not asking them.
I am also confused by your Photoshop version numbers. Do you mean CS5.5 and CS6 There was no CS5.5, although there was a Creative Suite CS5.5 which obviously contained Photoshop. Or are you talking about early versions of Photoshop? PS5.5 (Strange Cargo) was released in February 1999 and PS6 (Venus in Furs) in September 2000, but Camera RAW support didn't arrive till version 7.0.1 in August 2002.
ACR can open RAW files, plus JPGs and TIFFs, but not PSD files.

How to create crystal reports using MSDE 2000?

Post Author: S_Muhilan
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,
I am using Crystal report 8.5. My Database sqlserver 2000. I generated reports and are working fine.
Now I want to use MSDE 2000 instead of Sqlserver 2000 due to license factor.
My application is developed in VB 6. The all the parts of the application is working fine except the report.
All reports produced Database DLL error.
So I opened the report and try to verify the database. But it gives pdssql.dll not found. Database error.
After this error, I tried to create a new report and found that there is no option for MSDE 2000 database selection under more database.
I usually select Sql server 2000 database under More Database option of location wizard.
How to create crystal reports using MSDE 2000?
Is it due to crystal report 8.5 verison problem? I also have crystal report 11 licensed copy.
Please give me the good solution as early as possible
RegardsS. Muhilan

To use the inproc RAS SDK with CR.NET, you'd have to purchase either (1) Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Developer edition, and apply Service Pack 2 or above, or (2) Crystal Reports 2008 (not Crystal Reports Basic that comes with Visual Studio 2008).
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

How to open cwk on Mavericks in pages?

How to open cwk on Mavericks in pages?

Not in Pages v5. If it is a pure AppleWorks v6 word processing document (no graphics or spreadsheet embedded), then try Pages ’09 v4.3 which if installed prior to V5, will be found in /Applications/iWork ’09/Pages.app.
If the document is AppleWorks v6 and contains just Spreadsheet data, then you want Numbers from the iWork ’09 suite of Applications to open it. And if AppleWorks v6 Presentation, then Keynote per the preceding suite.
The other alternative, is the latest free (donationware if you choose) LibreOffice release. It can open some AppleWorks documents, with varying degree of fidelity to the original. LibreOffice installs everything in /Applications, and your local Library/Application Support folder, making it non-invasive and easy to uninstall if necessary. It is an alternative to MS Office.
I use LibreOffice on Mavericks when my patience with Pages hits rock bottom.

Help, how to open and display blobs from tables

Dear all,
I am trying to store ms-word files on a table using a blob column.
Does anyone how to open the files and display them from a form using 9iAS?
Thank you.
Carlos.

And there may be, but you won't likely find that here. Do some time searching Google and maybe you'll find code that someone was nice enough to make freely available, although I wouldn't count on it. Were i a programmer and took the time to read those docs and write the code, I'd want to be paid for my time. But there are a lot of programmers who swear by freeware! You may get lucky.
