How to use Claris works 2 in Lion?

Apple sales assured me that I could use and/or convert Claris works 2 files into Lion on the latest Macbook pro lap-top. Not so! Any tips?
I have two types of document - word processed and drawn
Ludicrous of Rickmansworth

It's not possible. ClarisWorks (any version, even AppleWorks) requires PowerPC code to run. Earlier versions of Mac OS X included Rosetta, which is a code framework which allowed such applications to run on Intel-based Macs. Lion does not include, and cannot use, Rosetta.
Apple's Pages application ($20 in the Mac App Store) can read AppleWorks 6 word processing documents. But it can't read any proprietary ClarisWorks documents or older versions of AppleWorks documents.
Your best bet is to use your old computer to use ClarisWorks 2, open each of your word processing files, and convert/save them into a fairly universal format such as Rich Text Format (.rtf) or maybe something like Word 97. Some formatting may be lost using this procedure.
If you want to preserve 100% of your formatting, and you have the most recent version of AppleWorks, that can open your ClarisWorks 2 word processing files, which you could then save in AppleWorks 6 format, which then could be opened by Pages. Again though, AppleWorks will not run under Lion so this would have to be done from your old computer.
GraphicConverter ($40 in the Mac App Store) can read any graphic format I've ever thrown at it, including ClarisWorks files (I've never tried anything from v2 specifically) and PaperPort (an old proprietary format used for document scanning). Or again, you could use your old computer to use ClarisWorks 2 to resave each drawing file in a more universal format such as JPG or GIF.
I'm sorry I don't have a simpler and easier solution for you, and that you were misled by the Apple sales folk.

Adobe Reader does not work-how to use adobe reader on Lion

I was trying to print an international label on eBay via Adobe Reader, and was very dissapointed and shocked that it does not work on Lion.
I was so happy that I figured out how to use adobe reader on Lion, and hope I can help anyone else who is frusterated too.
Step 1. Download Google Chrome
Step 2. Printe your international label, or whatever you need to do that uses Adobe Reader

Thanks Shelly! I too was having trouble and thought it was something wrong with my Mac. I still have a big though. When I try to print the saved pdf file, I get a pop-up that says "The document could not be printed. There are no selected pages to print" even though I am looking at the complete doc. It's there and in my print prompt "all pages" are selected to print. The way I got around this, is by emailing the pdf file to a gmail address and viewing the attachment via Google Docs. It loads perfectly and prints without a problem.

How can I claris works filesto pages?

how can I claris works filesto pages?

Step 1 would be getting them into AppleWorks 6.
Step 2 would be saving them from within AppleWorks 6.
At that point, provided that these are Apple Works Word Processor documents, you will be able to open them with Pages.
Steps 1 and 2 require a working copy of AppleWorks 6.2.4, 6.2.7 (not recommended) or 6.2.9, and a machine that is able to run it.
Be aware that AW 6.2.9 is unable to open some ClarisWorks files.
There are numerous threads dealing with tis issue. Check some of the others that are listed in the More Like This section to the right.

But I can not export the login screen from one machine to another, how do?? need much help ....
I tried to do as the example below:

Really? Want to show me that button or setting that allows that? AFAIK, System Preferences->Security->General->is where you set that when the machine sleeps or screensaver activates. Accordingly, I'm only aware of a hot corner triggering those two options and the behavior remains the same in Lion, even though the prefPane's name is slightly changed.

I just want to go back to how it /used/ to work

Itunes 7 has been a total bust.
I've lost tv shows that I downloaded when the machine locked up on the 'processing file' stage (that took emails to allow me to enable again). It's taking forever to download 30min shows that used to download quicker than it'd take to watch the previous show (Daily Show and Colbert report) I've got crackly sound, jerky video, all on a machine that used to play the downloads fine.
I use Itunes for the TVshows moreso than the music, but until they get this truly terrible version of Itunes working, I'll e investigating if I can stop the purchase of season passes until it works.
I bought them knowing I can download and play them fine. Mid-season pass, the video's are doubled in size and causeing me problems to the level that I don't think it's worth me using this anymore.
If there was an option on the size of download, then that might be viable. If I could restrict the amount of downloads at one time, that perhaps could help. If it just worked the same way that it used to, then I'd be perfectly happy (as the new front end looks pretty enough, it's the back end of actually PLAYING the content that's broken).
But as it is, I'm having a VERY BAD experience with this Itunes7.
How defeat could be snatched from the jaws of victory like this is beyond belief.
For the reference, there's nothing else running on the machine, it's uptodate with drivers/patches/antivirus disabled. Maybe it's the processor being 1.5Ghz, but my point is that all the downloads USED to work perfectly fine, but now I have no choice and they've broken something that worked. I didn't ask for doubling of sizes and more hardware requirements. (though trying it on another, much faster machine (duo2 2ghz, 2gb ram, still exhibits troublesome behaviour.
So, I've read that there IS a workaround to get back to the old version, but I'm aghast that we need to do fairly techy things just to make our content play. What happened to Apple? Just works? Not even close.

(yes, I'm very, very annoyed by this whole incident)

I think my confusion was seeing multiple Old Firefox Data folders within the same folder. You could try this:
Open your ''current'' Firefox profile folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
In the address bar of that window, click '''Profiles''' to move up a level to its parent folder. You should see your current profile folder there, and possibly others.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
Copy your ''old'' profile folder from your Old Firefox Data folder (possibly the one that ends with .default?) into the normal Profiles folder alongside your current profile.
Click in the address bar of the window showing your Profiles folder, and copy the path.
Start up Firefox's Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
(Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog. )
Click the Create Profile button, then when you get the option to choose a folder, open that up, paste the Profiles folder location, and select the folder you copied in. After finishing creating your "new" profile, start Firefox in that profile.
Is your old profile restored as you remember it?
Sometimes all this moving around of files can create issues, and if you were having problems before due to your reset, they will be back, but I think this is the fastest way to return to what you had before.

How to use commit work in class cl_bls

Hi,
When i have used commit work after email sent,
it goes into dump.
Here is the code segment:
try.
    -------- create persistent send request ------------------------
      send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).
    -------- create and set document -------------------------------
      pdf_content = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix( pdf_tab ).

replace this rudimentary exception handling with your own one !!!
    catch cx_bcs into bcs_exception.

What could be the reason?
Is there any way to use commit work in class while sending email as in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 fm?

Hi,
I have used
submit program.....
but in update task i have used it.
"Z_SD_ORDER_UPDATE".    program is a print driver program.
However error says:
There is probably an error in the program
"Z_SD_ORDER_UPDATE".
This program is triggered in the update task. There, the
following ABAP/4 statements are not allowed:
- CALL SCREEN
- CALL DIALOG
- CALL TRANSACTION
- SUBMIT
I used submit as:
WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS.
SUBMIT rsconn01 WITH mode = 'INT'
                  WITH output = ' '
                AND RETURN.
Instead of submit i want to use commit work but i also get a dump after commit work too.
How can i use commit work in above code?
Thanks.

Has anybody figured out how to make flip4mac work in Lion? I get sound but no picture

WMV files have worked fine up through snow leopard but now all I get is audio and no video. Have reinstalled newest version of flip4mac but same results

If I recall correctly, the current version of Quicktime X (from Snow Leopard and Lion) does not support external plugins like Flip4Mac. The workaround under Snow Leopard was to install Quicktime 7.x for Snow Leopard (optional download from Apple...good luck finding it these days). I don't know if that still works under Lion, though.
Probably not very helpful...

How to use a Work Repository when type is set to 'Execution' ?

Hi All,
I was just trying my hand at importing and exporting work repositories , I need to know how we can use a certain work repository when its type is set to 'Execution'
I want to import some packages (which are in some other Work repository ) into that Work repository but I am missing something somewhere.
Can somebody tell me what are the exact steps to import packages or Entire Work Repository into this newly created 'Execution' type Repository ??
Regards.

Hi,
An work repository which is of EXECUTION type cant be used to import packages/interfaces etc.
You can able to import only SCENARIOS in Operator component (from scenarios tab) and "just" execute it. As the term execution repository stands, u can able to execute objects created in Development repository.
Moreover, u cant access designer itself if its a EXECUTION repository.
Thanks,
Guru

How to use help in OSX Lion when offline

I am often offline for months when working at sea. When I try to access information for using the operating system, or when trying to do something on my computer, by using Help in the menu bar, very little information is available since I don't have an internet connection. Are there accessible Help files somewhere on my computer that can give me some help? As an example, I wanted to enable root access, which used to be done in NetIinfo Manager. Now I can't even get help to perform such a task because my MBP doesn't have an internet connection. Does anyone have any suggestions?

At the risk of sounding, like, too twentieth century or something, might I suggest David Pogue's BOOK, "Mac OS Lion: The Missing Manual". It's good.

How to use appleworks files with lion 10.7.4

Every now and then I need to access an old Appleworks file, and cannot. Is there a way of converting the files so that they can be used with other software thar runs with Lion 10.7?
Thanks.

Depends which type of file and how old.
AppleWorks 6: WP openable by Pages, SS openable by Numbers, PR openable by Keynote. DR openable by (some versions of) Eazy-Draw. DB and PT openable only by AppleWorks 6.
AppleWorks 5 and earlier: openable only by AppleWorks/ClarisWorks (same of newer version that the version creating the file).
More detailed answer here: Abandoning AppleWorks.

How to use a work manager dedicated for an URI

Hello,
I have a servlet able to manage different use cases, based on differents URI (the servlet is mapped on /*, and depending of the URI and the configuration, I do different work)
I would like to set a workmanager on each of my use cases.
Is it possible to set a workmanager on a use case without any update of the descriptor files ? (without multi mapping the servlet because my use cases are pluggables)
I've seen it is possible to acces a workmanager programaticaly (commonJ work managers) but it seems to be mandatory to reference the commonJ work manager inside the web.xml file to allow loca JNDI lookup on this work manager. Thus If I add a work manager, I have to update the web.xml. There is another possibility without updating any deployment descriptors ?
Thank you very much for your answers,
Best Regards,
C.

James,
thank you for your update.
1) Concerning the first solution (CommonJ WM), it sounds good for my needs but I still have to update the web.xml to add the resource-ref to access the WorkManager by JNDI:
<resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>wm/TestWorkManager</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>commonj.work.WorkManager</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
    <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>So I have to update my ear, it is not exactly what I want :(
2) Concerning the deployment plans, it is also a good idea, I can multiinstance a servlet to use different mapping and then apply different workmanager for different uris,
This is working. I update the web.xml using a deployment plan.
The only negative point is I can't only apply the deployment plan but I have to redeploy the entire application (wich is not recommended for production because it occurs a out of service period)
Do you know any solutions for this two points ?
Thank you a lot
Best regards,
C.

How to use commit work as per the requirement?

Hi all,
Here i have a requirement about database table updation. I have to update a database table, at the time of doing commit work it has to check the following condition .
The data should be split up in different groups or records of no more than 2000 after which a commit to the database is executed.
So can anybody help me in this regard with a piece of code? and i want to know during updation how to lock the data base table and how to unlock? Is there any standard function modules to call regarding this locking and unlocking?
Thanks & Regards
Naidu

which table is that? and do you have any code so far?
Logically you need to loop thru your records, lock the table for that record, update the table , unlock the tabel record, count the entires so far, andi f it is 2000 issue commit work.
