I can't open Appleworks (or any appleworks documents)

I don't know what happened, but suddenly I can't open Appleworks. It disappeared from my dock. I made a new alias to put there. If I click on an Appleworks document the Alias icon bounces up and down once, and nothing else happens. Same if I click on the alias icon in the dock. If I click on Appleworks in the Applications menu nothing happens. If I highlight a file and try to open it under "Open With" under the File menu in Finder nothing happens. Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated, as I have a lot of important information stored in those documents. Thanks!

I had a similar problem & did what you said & AppleWorks opened from the desktop. What do I do with the folders on the desktop?
If you really applied what I described:
+Drag the folder:+
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks:
+and the file:+
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.appleworks.pli st
+on the Desktop.+
and if in this case AppleWorks.6 behaves correctly, you may trash the items which I asked you to move on the desktop.
Often, it's a good idea to open the
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks:
folder which you moved on the desktop ,
grab the "AppleWorks 6 Button Bars" file and move it in the newly created
<startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:AppleWorks: folder.
Doing that you will recover your set of custom buttons; Of course if you didn't created custom buttons this task is unneeded.

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.

If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

What kind of Mac are you using, and what version of the operating system?
You should be able to select the document that you want to attach and then use the contextual menu (right click in some worlds) to compress the document, producing a .zip file. You can then attach that to the email and it won't appear as a picture within the email.
If I recall this correctly, the "compress" part in the contextual menu may have a different terminology.

Can't open google using any browsers in mac

Recently I can't open google and any google related websites like google translate using my macbook pro.

I have been struggling with this problem for couple of days.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot!

DNS Information - Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).Delete all extra entries that you find.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."
Non-responsive DNS server or invalid DNS configuration can cause long delay before webpages load

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out.

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

The problem is that i can't open pdf-files on My documents with Adobe Reader. I only recieve a message, "There was a problem when this document was opened. Access is denied." (Translated from Swedish)
I can open the file without any problem if i move it to c:. I don't have any problems with any other type of documents.
Please help! I use the latest version of Adobe Reader and i have updated windows and drivers.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the screenshots and the information.Would it be possible for you to try the following at your end.
1. Create another folder under C:\ with some Latin Characters such as Ö or ä (as being used in the redirected path for My Documents etc.). Now place any PDF in this folder and try and access the same. Are you able to access it this time?
2. Redirect the My Documents folder to some other path which does not have any Latin character and see if the issue is still reproducible.

Can you open a Microsoft office powerpoint document on an iPad?

can you open a Microsoft office powerpoint document on an iPad?

You should be able to preview it if it was sent to the iPad as an email.
Or you can purchase Keynote for the iPad, which knows how to open PowerPoint.

2146827284Microsoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space

Hi Experts,
I am getting below error when Exporting data from my one web application to the Excel 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 ,

• To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need.
• To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.
The disk space is 30 GB free, I have cleared all the temp files, increased the virtual memory & internet temp files size to max but no luck

You want to use this one here - MMC
comexp.msc /32
THAT will launch the MMC process
as 32 bit then you'll the Microsoft Excel Application.
Right Click -> Properties.
What I did at this point was to select the Identity tab and then select "The Interactive User" (the default was "The launching user"). My app pool was already running as "LocalSystem". I believe by running it as the Interactive User now that it
has the right permissions to save workbooks.
Everything worked after this.
This was a tough one!

Hi Jo,
Do you have at least 15% free space on your HD?
Run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart >immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “PreparingInstallation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue >click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > selectyour HD in the panel on the left side> click Repair Disk at bottom of mainwindow. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok”twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such asDiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need toreinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can onlyrepair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quitDisk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go toApplications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.
