IWork and AppleWorks Conflict?

A friend said she lost all her AppleWorks docs (word processing and spreadsheets) when she loaded iWork'09. This is making me hesitant to load my new iWork software. Is there any way I can prevent this from happening?

As a text document is the same object when it is generated by AppleWorks or by an other program, you perfectly understood that I was writing about AppleWorks 6 Word Processor documents.
It's funny to see that you feel useful to point that when I just reproduced _YOUR OWN_ formula
Pages will open v6 AppleWorks text documents
but sure, you didn't remember what you wrote.
and btw I have asked in another 3 AppleStores (I have just been interstate for a week) about Word compatibility and output suitable for commercial offset printers.
The one variation I got was one (only one) Apple representative said I may lose some word wrap in .doc files, but otherwise the Pages output was no trouble for either saving to Windows or commercial printing.
I asked twice just to make sure they hadn't misunderstood and they were adamant there was no problem.
It simply proves that I am right when I write that we can't take vendor's responses as the truth. My father taught me that they are at least two synonymous to lyer. They are vendor and advocate
In French we say: "Les paroles s'envolent, les écrits restent".
Never trust a vendor's response. Check the printed items.
But as I often wrote, you are perfectly free to take care of vendor's advice and re even free to rant here when you discover that the truth is different of what was responded.
But, don't be surprised if I point the fact that if the vendors did what they are supposed to do: push you to buy, YOU didn't do correctly your customer's duty..
Customer is not a hobby, it's a full time job !

  • Snow Leopard and AppleWorks 6.0

    Will Snow Leopard work with unsupported AppleWorks 6.2.9 ??
    I have many work database documents and don't want to upgrade to Snow Leopard if AppleWorks will not function. Thank You.

    My AppleWorks opens and I can create and 'sometimes' save documents.. It does crash occasionally. I wish Apple would have hurried up a little more with iWork and included all the original functionality that people got from AppleWorks, like the database for one. AppleWorks has been on life support for quite awhile now. Bento seems to be a good replacement for the database, though quite a bit more expensive comparatively.

  • I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook.  I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac.  How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro?  I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

    You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs.  Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP.  Here's more info from Apple.
    You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I copy programs (iWorks) and files from Time Capsule to my HD manually? The problem is that the migration assistant does not recognize my backup file and the user on the TC. (If I open the TC on finder, it it there though)

  • Aperture not working properly in iLife, iWork, and Mail

    I am placing this issue in Aperture as it occurred after the 3.1.3 update.
    We use Photo Browser to place a photo in a Mac Mail, iLife and iWork. With the update, 3.1.3, using Photo Browser we see only the first photo per project. In Aperture we do see all photos.
    Click Projects: we see all of them, but again clicking any project we see one photo.
    Click Photos: we see one photo for each project. Clicking any one brings up that one photo.
    In Aperture we do have a check in the box: Share previews with iLife and iWork. This same thing happens in both iWork and iLife. Prior to 3.1.3 update the Photo Browser performed as it should.
    Yes, I did do the Cmd + Option choosing all three to repair Aperture. Deleted the Aperture .plist as well.
    Cordially,
    RicD

    Fixed my own issue. After thinking more on this the word preview is what I was using. Well, in the menu Photos, at the bottom are two options, Update Preview, Delete Preview. Here is the process:
    Highlight all projects or photos, I chose Projects, click Photos > Delete Preview, then Photos > Update Preview. To watch the update process click Windows > Show Activity, you will see the number of photos and how many have been updated.
    Hope the above helps folks.

  • IWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore. Why?

    Just uppgraded to iOS 7.0.3 on my new iPhone 5s. iWork and iLife apps are _not_ showing free in the AppStore anymore, only the Buy (for a price) option is there. Why? These apps used to show up free for me earlier, but i didn't install them due to the reported system instability they caused. That instability is reportedy addressed in iOS 7.0.3 but the apps are not free anymore, are they? Looks like it's not what was advertised...

    Ok... rebooting my iPhone 5s one more time after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 solved the problem - after the reboot all the iWork and iLife apps are showing free in the AppStore again... Good deal!

  • How do you sync the free iWork and iLife apps to multiple supervised devices?

    So, I have a number of 4th gen iPads that are eligible for the free iWork and iLife update. I downloaded all the apps manually to one device, but was wondering how you can do this with multiple devices at once. If I try to add the apps in Configurator it asks for codes, because we have these apps downloaded already and on older devices. Configurator does not dinstinguish between the older and newer devices.
    I tried making a backup of the first iPad that has the apps and pushing that out on Configurator, but the apps did not transfer. Do these need to be side loaded? Is there another way? I am trying Settings > iTunes and App Store > Sync apps across devices, and having all ipads logged in with the same account. But, no sync of apps yet, and not even sure that will work...
    Ideas?

    Probably sould just do them individually.

  • How to deal with conflict and potential conflict classes?

    Some classes are marked as conflict and potential conflict classes in the Classloader Analysis Tool.
    How to deal with them?
    How to use suggested solutions?

    Not double load them.
    Conflicting classes can lead to weird exceptions. One obvious example would be if you package
    an older servlet.jar version into your application and use the weblogic classloading features, such
    as prefer-web-inf-classes, to tell weblogic to use this class instead of the one provided in the
    system classpath. This one example which leads to weird exceptions, such as connot process jsp tag...
    If you really need a the version of the jar for your application, you have to test it through and through
    so that you know you do not run into weird production errors.

  • Why does Scroll in IOS 8  and Swipe conflict?

    Hi guys,
    Why does Scroll in IOS 8  and Swipe conflict?
    When I use swipe right or swipe left in EA and test it on IOS8 it works fine but if I scroll down
    it triggers the swipe right or left assignment ...
    Does anyone know a code to not have these two functions in conflict? I usually dodge this feature due to this ongoing
    unfixed problem.
    Thanks,
    Henry Code

  • How can I transfer older Claris Works and AppleWorks files to new iMac.  I use Pages, and MacWord, Excel, etc. as well.

    March 20, 2013
    I have a new iMac using Pages and Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. for mac.  I'd like to transfer older ClarisWorks and AppleWorks files to my new computer.  Can this be done?

    Additionally, Numbers can read/open spreadsheets. However, anything done in the drawing/painting part cannot be read by any application - you would have to export those (on the old machine) as a .jpg or pdf. You could then open them, but no longer edit or change the content.

    i upgraded my ipad 2 to ios8 now also the iwork and the ilfe apps are not free why???

    The offer of free apps is tied not only to the version of iOS, but the purchase date of the device: Free Apple apps for your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 8

    you can change the page orientation by selecting the menu item "File > Print..." then adjust the orientation in "Page Orientation" section, then click "Done" (or "Print", if you want to print).

  • My Iwork and my Office don't open PC Office documents!

    Hello everyone! I've got a degree in computer science, but I'm new to mac. I've come from the pc.
    I've got a extrange problem in my macbook.I've been surfing to the internet for a solution during 1 hour. Also I've phone apple care suport during 45 minutes and I still don't have the solution. I'm kind of desesperate.
    The problem is that Iwork (and also Office for Mac) just don't open my PC Office files (any of them), not xls, doc, ppt... I can open them in the PC, not in the mac.
    It just appears an "invalid file" error. The file never opens.
    If my Mac it's not going to be able to open MS PC Office documents it's just going to be a nice paperweight, cause my job requieres those files. Got thousands of them, and I recieve daily.
    To put all my PC office file to my macbook I used an external USB hard drive. I've read on the internet that sometimes the "doc" document gets corrupted when it's stored in the USB HD. I used it right (removing saftely), so I think that it's not this, but I've got nothing more... even apple support don't know nothing.
    I like my notebook, but I've to solve this problem. If it's not solved I'll have to return again to €!$$?? windows and I will have lost a lot of money.
    Thanks everyone.

    I've been looking into it and it seems problem is not only with .doc and .xls documents.
    For some reason, many files of my folder "documents" (and also all the "sub"folders) are, in a way or other, corrupted.
    I've tried 2 times to put all this information from windows (in win files are not corrupted, I've checked it) to my USB external HD and then I put them into my mac. During this process files become corrupted!
    And it's so strange, because I've copied more files from my pc to my mac this way and seem they're working right. Anyway now I'm trying with diferent file systems and see what I get.
    So it's not problem with pages o office mac, it's problem of the MAC OS X or my external hard drive.
