I have a extensive recipe database in Appleworks 6. Is there a way to convert this to Numbers or Pages?

New Macbook Pro running Mavericks; Pages; Numbers but no more Appleworks supported.
I have a collection of family recipes done in Appleworks 6 [database]--600 recipes+
I can sort on many different fields and easily search the data.
I am inserting a snapshot of one recipes for an example of the format that I set; loved the button functions!
I have it set to print to 4x6 cards.
Is there anyway to convert this to Pages or Numbers applications?
I can save my existing document as a pdf and can have access to them but i would love to be able to continue adding and editing the data--
ANYONE have a solution??

Peggy has very astutely laid out your options and I hate to see you abandon your Family Recipie database after so much time and effort.
It is doubtful that Apple will ever address the issue of Appleworks databases in a more direct way. They have Filemaker and you can export your data from Appleworks and create a new database in Filemaker and import all of your data without any loss of data. This is of course much work, but only a "one-time" amount of work and then your database continue forward in Filemaker.
You also acknowledge the continuing option of using older Mac hardware. While of course this option is easy and available to you now, what happens when your older Mac hardware dies and you are faced with a hardware purchase decision? Continue to try to find a suitable older Mac on the used market and wait for it to fail again. Or purchase a new Mac?
If you purchase a new Mac, and do not want to pursue the EXPORT -> IMPORT into a new database program, then the other option suggested by Peggy, installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels for continued use of Appleworks 6 in Mavericks, is a good one and not too costly; about $99 or less.
In any event I highly recommend that you call Apple immediately and order a copy of Snow Leopard Server for $20 and at a minimum put it up on the shelf for later need, if any. Once Apple raises the price again, or discontinues it sale, it will become again very expensive on the third party market such as eBay and Amazon.
Once you receive it, you can download a 14 day free trial version of Parallels and try it out for yourself, if you like.
Here is Appleworks 6 running in Snow Leopard Server in Parallels for use in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:

I cannot access AppleWorks 6, is there a way to convert them?

I just installed Mavericks and since I cannot access AppleWorks 6, is there a way to convert them?
I know AppleWorks 6 is old, but I have some documents that I need.
My windows laptop asks what I want to convert files into and I'm hoping there is something I can do?
Please help

1. Read Roger Wilmut's excellent series of articles, Abandoning Appleworks:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page1.html
2. If you need to run Appleworks 6 to export some data (for example a database, which cannot be opened by any other program):
a) (Assuming your Mac will still boot into Snow Leopard, since you said you recently "upgraded to Mavericks"), Partition your hard drive (or add an external hard drive) and install Snow Leopard (and the optional Rosetta) into it and use the "dual-boot" method to boot into Snow Leopard and run Appleworks 6; or
b) Install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels and run Appleworks 6 concurrently with Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:

My macbook air was stolen from checked baggage. I have the box with all the information. Is there a way to disable this device? Block it from my Yahoo email? Locate it? Any ideas?

HI, My Macbook Air was stolen this week from my checked baggage.
I have the box with all the information SN etc.. Is there a way to disable this device? Block it from my Yahoo email? Locate it? Any ideas?

If you activated "Find My Mac" in iCloud before the loss, maybe. Otherwise no.

I have a new impulse 61 key board and i have garage band. when i hit a key the sound has a delay before i hear it, i also have it hooked up to a bose radio. is there a way to correct this delay?

I have a keyboard Impulse 61. I have it hooked up to the imac and then to a bose speaker thru bluetooth and i have a long sound delay from when i hit a key until i hear sound. Is ther a fix for this delay?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Every time i change though media or from i-product back to library I have to research the group that is playing, is there a way to fix this?

Hi guys,
The new itunes changed totally and this mostly brings some changes what is more than normal.
But the thing i liked with the previous versions was:
- You choose a group out the sidecolum and an album and then the song
- You change from media type or go to your i-product and then back to your library and the just selected band would come back up
Now it isn't like that anymore, you everytime have to go through your list of artists to come to the artist you just previously selected.
Is this normal or a setting you have to change somewhere(what i think is unlikely).
That's the only problem I have with the new iTunes, the other things will get time to get used to but not overcomming
Greetz, Alex

Thanx for fixing this in the latest update of iTunes.

When I try to open iTunes, I get an error stating that the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from my computer. I don't have my original iTunes disc to reload. Is there any way to fix this without the iTunes disc?

Also, I'm due for an upgrade to the new iPhone. Should I just wait for my new iPhone?

I have an ipad 32gb 3g and iam wondering is there a way to increase this to the 64gb or would that increase my monthly bill?

is there a way to increase the space on my ipad?

You can't increase the internal capacity of the iPad, they aren't upgradeable - all you can do is copy content off and on the iPad via your computer's iTunes as when you need it, or potentially use the cloud (depending on what is available in the cloud in your country) e.g. only sync large items such as tv shows and films onto the iPad when you think that you might need them, otherwise use that storage for your other apps/content. There are also some wifi-enabled external drives that can be used to stream media content to the iPad e.g. Seagate GoFlex Satellite and HyperDrive are a couple of examples

I have a ton of cookie exceptions, and sometimes I need to change one from "blocked" to "allow". Is there a way to "search" this file?

Paging through the large set of cookie exceptions, to find the one that is causing me not to be able to access a site is getting to be impossible. For example, I want to use ESPN's fantasy football site, but at some point, I must have decided to "block" one of the many cookies that they wanted to set. Now, I cannot get into the site, and I have no luck finding the offending cookie. Is there a way to search this exceptions (or permissions) file so I can find the cookie faster?

The about:permissions was just what I was looking for! Perfect.
Thanks jshcer2000 for the prompt response.

I have a ton of documents and databases in AppleWorks v 6.0 that I can no longer open on my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to recover this info? Some documents can be opened and resaved with textedit, but not my database with all important addresses.

I tried Peggy's List > Select All > Copy > Paste into an AW spreadsheet suggestion.
In my case, pasting into the spreadsheet lost all text formatting (mostly text set to bold). The results of formulas were pasted, and checkboxes were pasted as "on" or "off". The DB did not contain any pop-up menus or radio buttons, but I expect they would transfer as a number showing the list position of the chosen item.
Pasting the copied List view data into a Numbers table gave a result similar to that with AppleWorks. I selected B2 as the target cell (for top left cell of the pasted data) to avoid any effects of posting into a header row or column. Bold and regular text formatting looked the same as it had in AW's List view.
Based on that, I'd slip the 'paste into an AppleWorks Spreadsheet step, and paste directly into a Numbers Table.

Barry

I am trying to update Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and I keep getting "There was an error downloading this update. Please quite and try again later." I have tried again and this keeps coming up?

I am trying to update Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and I keep getting "There was an error downloading this update. Please quite and try again later." I have tried again and this keeps coming up?

Please do a forum search. I and others have repeatedly answered this question a whole bunch of times recently.
Bottom line: the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions. You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

Updated to new version of firefox today, v. 18, and have had glitched out menus since. Is there a way to fix this?

I updated today to v. 18, and while my menus do pull down (for both the firefox one of the left and the bookmark one on the right) and the links work, the... image file, I guess, is very glitchy. I only know what I'm clicking on because I know vaguely where things are in the lists.
I have updated Java (which has now disappeared from my plug ins list), put firefox into safe mode and then activated one extension at a time to check them, and restarted both my laptop and firefox a few times. While in safe mode this glitch does not occur.
Is there any way to correct this? I have screencaps I can provide showing exactly what is happening:

I made a video of our summer vacation on imovie. It's over an hour long. When I try to share it, the audio syncs incorrectly at about the 15 minute mark and is off for the rest of the movie. Is there a way to fix this? I think I have imovie 09.

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (It it isn't please amend it to prevent confusion).
Assuming Snow Leopard, iCloud has not been deleted - it was never there. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in the next day it shows 500-600 episodes I have to delete manually. So 2 questions.... Is there a way to stop this from happening and is there a way to delete all. This is getting frustrating.

After I watch a podcast I delete it. When I go back in there are 500-600 episodes and I have to delete each one manually. Is there a way to stop this from happening or is there a way to delete all at once. It's getting very frustrating.

Had all these issues. Bit the bullet and downloaded the Downcast App ($1.99). Much better expereince and a lot more features. Sad.
