I have read that Lion will not support Quick and/or Appleworks. How am I to continue to use my financial data and documents?

I posted this answer to the same question about AppleWorks in the AppleWorks community two days ago.
I use iWork. The iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can only open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively. They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files.
The third-party application, EazyDraw, can open AppleWorks draw documents. If you still have access to AppleWorks you can copy the contents of draw documents, paste them into an AppleWorks word processing document in object mode (click the arrow in the tool panel), save the WP document & then open it in Pages. You can copy & paste from AppleWorks to Pages but you would have to do it object by object or it will be one big uneditable object. Check Yvan Koenig's iDisk for many AppleScripts he has written to make conversion easier. Most are made to do batch conversions.
There is nothing other than AppleWorks that can open paint or database documents. Database data can be copied & pasted into an AppleWorks spreadsheet, saved & opened in Numbers or saved as ASCII/plain text & opened in most any spreadsheet, database or word processing program. Paint documents can be saved as one of many different formats to be opened in most image editing programs. I recommend using PICT or PNG for best results.
For a replacement for Quicken, I've narrowed my choices down to SEE Finance, Moneydance or Jumsoft's Money. I need to work with them more before I make my final decision. Mac | Life suggests SEE Finance as the best option.

I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs so my 2008 version of Mac Office and Intuit Quickbooks are blanked out. I need these programs. How do I proceed?

I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs and has blanked out my 2008 version of MS Office for Mac and Intuit's Quickbooks. How do I proceed to get these programs back?

Upgrade to newer versions compatible with Lion or downgrade to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

I am considering purchase of Airport Express to extend / improve my network at home. I have read that AE will not work with a non apple set up. Does this mean my BT Homehub will not work with AE?

I have poor router connection to my iphone in one part of my three storey home. I have a BT Homehub router. I am considering purchase of Airport Express to improve my network connection. Will AE function with the Homehub. I have read that it may not! Any advice please?
Geoff Snr

The AirPort Express will work with the Homehub if you establish a permanent Ethernet connection from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Homehub to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express.
The AirPort Express will not work if you are planning to connect the Express to the Homehub wirelessly to extend the network.

Lion will not support PowerPC applications?

"You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Almost all of busnesse is on word and excel!
what do i do?

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion. (note: I'm not a TimeMachine user, so I don't know how to restore 10.6 from this medium)
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered, OS, programs, files, Windows etc all gone.)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

Mountain Lion will not install on MBP (late 2011) Macintosh HD: "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer"

Tried to upgrade from 10.7.4 on relatively new MBP. It appears that Mountain Lion successfully downloaded from App Store. However, ML will not install to the hard drive because "This disk cannot be used to startup your computer". Thanks for advice.

Try going through the steps described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3926.

Are you serious that photoshop does not support touch zoom and rotate??!!

I just spent thousands of dollars on a new cintiq 22hd touch and now people are telling me that touch zoom and rotate are not supported in photoshop when running it with a windows platform (only works with MACS)???!!! are you serious???!!! I just tested this out and its TRUE!!! You can pan with touch but not zoom or rotate. The zoom and rotate functions work in all my other programs BUT NOT PHOTOSHOP. I even have the latest version of photoshop (CC), latest patch and all and nope! no multitouch support!
I dont know who im more pissed with WACOM or ADOBE. Wacom's touch advertising was supposed to be their selling point! if you cant even use it with the most popular graphics program...err what's the point??? And Adobe should have provided support like what...AGES AGO...the touch tablets and cintiqs have been out for almost a year now!
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE LIVE IN 2013 and the best graphic hardware IS NOT COMPATIBLE with THE BEST GRAPHIC SOFTWARE on an OS (windows) that like over 50% of the population use??!!
UNBELIEVABLE!

I do not have a cintiq however I down loaded the user manuals for the DTH-2242 and DTK-2241 and the Cintiq 22HD> the first two Interactive pen displays seem to support multi Touch where the Cintiq 22HD only seem to support touch strips.
The ones with multitouch support show this in the user manuals. On windows standard gestures are always on and there is no TAB. I would not like that.

Is apple aware that Lion will not play HDV 720p25 Files in QT, poor show., Is apple aware that Lion will not play HDV 720p25 Files in QT, poor show.

I recently made the change to Lion from Snow Leopard, I use FCP and work natively with HDV 720p25 .mov files from a Focus DR-HD100 hard drive. I am getting a message saying that the files may be damaged, I want to know when this will be sorted, as I am completely unable to edit and its costing me big time.
My hands are tied, when will apple sort this, a very poor showing from Apple, not impressed. This has knocked my confidence in Apple.

i've been having the exact same problems myself since Lion was released. I've been having to work with .m2t files and then converting them with MPEG StreamClip to Apple ProRes 422 native quicktime files in order to even use the stupid HDD. All of my existing .MOV files that were on the HDD prior to upgrade are now all "corrupt". Spoke with Apple reps and Focus reps and both of course are pointing fingers at each other.
Also, found that .m2t files aren't as high quality as shooting with .mov files on the DR-HD100... interesting huh? I mean i'm not in too much of a pickle due to the fact that the HDD is still useable it's just more time and steps before getting to edit in FCP now which is annoying considering the fact that I shelled out a lot of money for this HDD to be able to edit immediately...
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
I know it's Apple's fault because when i shoot in .mov files on the DR-HD100 and bring them in on my mac mini which is still OS X Snow Leopard, they work just fine... so it's definitely a Lion issue...
Also, found out that once the files have been dragged onto a HDD operating within OS X Lion, they become corrupt FOREVER and you can't reverse the process! They remain fine on the DR-HD100 but if you drag them onto a OS X Lion machine, then decide to transfer them to a OS X Snow Leopard device via USB, Network, or whatever, it won't matter because they have already been corrupted by Lion!

Lion will not support Mac Office. It was not disclosed.

*** is going on?

Both 2008 and 2011 have been running for months on my Lion system, only 2004 doesn't work.

I have tried to display a hd video downloaded from the store on my Samsung hd tv. Message on MacBook pro retina says that display does not support the right type of drm. What's going on here?

Cannot display hd video from MacBook pro via hdmi on my Samsung hg tv. Says wrong type of protection for drm or words to that effect. This is a big pain

Maybe to do with HDCP?

If win 7 64 bit will not support Firefox 10 why offer it

I have just read that you will not support 64 bit win 7 O/s so why am I being offered it twice now to be honest.
you are correct this M/C is 32 bit but not my other one which is 64 bit

Firefox Nightly it is not in the Release channel (Release channel: This is the standard version where the majority of users, including you are. It's fully tested and stable).
Nightly channel: is the most unstable and buggy one. It's where all the tests are performed.
so you can not see it in your update options.
thanks again

Had to buy NEW HP due to Lexmark will not support Leopard

I purchased a new HP PSC7280 due to the fact that LEXMARK tech support sent me an email stating that they will not support LEOPARD on my printer and X9350 (top of the line consumer product for lexmark) even though they state on their website they should have a supported driver out in March of 2008. First, I can't wait six months to be able to print. Second, they did this with the printer I had before and when the printer driver was released it was just the printer driver no scanning or faxing support. Had to buy a new printer then. Third I think I remember something that the new OSX Leopard was announced and developers had free copies made available back at WWDC so Lexmark evidentially does not want to support Macintosh... By the way the Hewlett Packard PSC 7280 works seamlessly with no problems for printing, scanning, or faxing and it does it wirelessly... (Better than Lexmark ever did for me)

I have had the same problem...can't even print on my x9350 using bonjour. How hard is it to keep up to date with a driver? I am not impressed with Lexmark - when I first bought the printer, I couldn't even order supplies for it. I think they are a bit disorganized. Next time, I am buying HP - the last HP I had lasted 8 years. And for the cost of the consumables, its not that big a deal to switch. Too bad - nice printer.

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message that X11 was not supported and directed to a sited to download XQuartz. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found.

Since downloading OS X Mountain Lion my WordSearch9 will not open. I got a message saying that X11 was not supported and directed to a site to download an update "XQuartz" which I did. Now when I try to launch WordSearch9 I get a message "X11 cannot be found". I did follow the instructions to download and install XQuartz, but there still seems to be a problem. Anyone have an idea?

Your report indicates Mountain Lion, but your footer indicates Lion. I'll assume you're on 10.8.2; on the current Mountain Lion version.
Rebooting is fine.
The posted diagnostics look like there might be a problem with the Xquartz install, or it is not starting, or it's not authorized for the sandbox. (But I don't know enough about that to be certain.)
Try launching X11.app directly from your Applications > Utilities folder, and see if that works, or if shows any dialog boxes, or that reports any errors.
If you had an Xquartz kit installed and it's not the 2.7.4 (current) Xquartz kit, then please update to that version. (I'm assuming that site is where you got your Xquartz kit from, too.)
I'd also suggest also discussing this more directly with the Xquartz folks via mailing list or the IRC channel, or collecting up the Xquartz logs and then posting a bug over at the Xquartz site; here are the details on bug reporting for Xquartz.
