Iwork compatibility with Appleworks

I am under the impression that the compatibility exists; however, I have found that the only text files that I can copy to Pages are those text files created in V6(Appleworks). Is there any way that those text files created in an earlier version of AW can be successfully copied to Pages?

Hello,
as far as I know, Pages can only open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents. You can open your older AppleWorks WP files (for example AppleWorks 5) in AppleWorks 6, save them as AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, then reopen them in Pages.
Keynote can import presentations made with the presentation module from AppleWorks 6.

  • IWork Compatibility with Mac/iPad/PC

    I have a MacBook Pro and iPad 2 for home use and PC at work (grr). I'd like to buy iWork bc it's compatible with both my Mac/iPad. My question is will I be able to edit Word/Excel docs that originated from my work PC in iWork on my home computer and view/edit them on my work PC? I do not have complicated documents or tables, but rather basic Word documents and Excel spreadhseets that serve as databases.

    Yes. On your computer, instead of clicking the document open, drag it onto the pages app in your dock and the word document will automatically be converted to a pages document. On the iPad, any document you open will have a little button in the corner that looks like a share button. The button actually lets you open the document in any document editing app - including pages. On the Mac, you have the option to save all the documents in a microsoft office compatible (but do not forget to select the button each time). Also, if you put it on iCloud.com, you can download the file as a .pages, .doc, or.pdf. On the iPad, the documents are automatically saved to iCloud and can be accessed at iCloud.com from a Mac or PC. If you email it from the iPad, it can be emailed as iWork, Microsoft office, or PDF.

  • Appleworks docs and compatibility with iWorks application?

    Appleworks docs and compatibility with iWorks application? Does it exists? I do not have iWorks and will soon be upgrading my op sys to 10.4 (it really is in the mail) I currentl have 10.2.8
    I use AppleWorks a great deal. Does iWorks replace it? or enhance it?
    Will AppleWorks be upgraded or is 6.2.9 the last iteration?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions SYGWS
    iWork (no "s") is not an application, but the name given to the package of two applications, Keynote & Pages.
    Keynote is a presentation application that can open AppleWorks 6 presentation files & PowerPoint files. I haven't use Keynote other than to view a few presentation. You probably can find a lot of information by searching the Keynote forum.
    Pages is the word processing/page layout application in iWork. Pages is able to open AppleWorks 6 word processing document as well as Word, text & RTF documents. It is not able to open any other AppleWorks documents or older Word documents (I'm not sure how far back it goes). Pages 1 (iWork '05) will not display floating spreadsheet frames in AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, Pages 2 can. Pages 2 has limited spreadsheet functions available in tables (as does Keynote 3, both in iWork '06). Pages can export as PDF, Word, plain text, RTF & HTML (HTML export is disappointing to say the least). It cannot export as AppleWorks (any version).
    No one here knows for sure if AppleWorks will ever get another update & those that do have signed non-disclosure agreements, but it is extremely unlikely. In the iWork ’05 press release iWork is said to be "building the successor to AppleWorks."
    Many users here, like me, use Pages for what it does so well & AppleWorks for what it does that iWork doesn't (at least not yet) - databases, spreadsheets & drawing.

  • What external hard drives are compatable with new Ipad 4

    What external hardrives are compatable with the new Ipad 4 connector

    Not entirely sure what you are asking. According to this review (I haven't got one so I don't know for sure) then the wifi-enabled GoFlex Satellite drives can :
    The device can stream basically all content supported by the iPad including videos (H.264 video, MPEG-4, and Motion-JPEG), audio (AAC, MP3, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4), Apple Lossless, A IFF, WAV), documents (Microsoft Office, iWork, Adobe) and photos.
    But non-wifi drives, i.e. those that require a cable connection, won't work with the iPad.

  • IWork Compatibility Question

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro for my personal use at home.  At work, I have a PC.  I would like to be able to bring work home (i.e. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and NOT have to bring my PC home also.
    My question is:  if I bring these types of files home and edit them on my Mac, will I be able to take them back to work and open them on my PC?   I know that iWork can open these files, but will it also go the other way?
    I am currently trying to get as much input as possible regarding whether to purchase iWork, or to purchase Microsoft Office for Mac.  iWork is considerably cheaper, but if trying to make edited documents once-again compatible with my PC is too much of a pain, I would consider the extra cost.
    Thanks for your help.

    Amazon has a single user Office Mac 2011 Home & Student for $89. I paid $149 at BestBuy almost a year ago so the price is coming down and with MS parading Office 2013 and Web Apps, prices should drop even more. It has everything but Outlook which I've never needed with Mail and iCal. Personally, while iWork works with Office files, I think it might be worth it to get Office. I also work on work files (Office 2003) at home and use Dropbox to sync them.
    Simple text will convert to Pages fairly well, but if you use forms or tables, you'll be frustrated with the import/export results. Also stick with standard Office fonts... Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, ect. Generally, the more complex and formatted the Word document, the more screwed up it will be when exported back out from Pages.
    I'm not an Excel power user but even I have had formulas not convert to Numbers. Charts work pretty well (depending on the data set) and MS has gone a long way to make them easier to manage in Excel 2011. The only chart problems I've had are certain 3D effects that didn't translate, shadows, and text positioning that had to be redone. One thing I do a lot of that Numbers doesn't support is pivot tables. I had one file Numbers totally froze on while importing, but to be fair it had over 7000 rows and several pivot tables.
    I've never used Powerpoint or Keynote so can't tell you anything there. I have seen compatability complaints between the two all over the boards though.
    Hope this helps and good luck!

  • Windows 8 and itunes 11 compatibility with an ipod

    I have itunes11 and Windows 8. I've called Apple and I've talked to Microsoft. This was months ago. I can download itunes and run it from my laptop but am unable to sync my ipod. I get an error and it automatically reboots my computer. I was told there were known compatibility with itunes and Windows 8.  This was months ago.
    I know how to downgrade itunes to XP or Win 7. This is not the issue. I can download to my laptop and place, it will not sync to my ipod device (which is a fear years old), but when I did talk to support I was told that it was supported. The ipod was not the issue.. It was the incompatibility between the programs.
    I see recent updates in the support community in the past month about production resolution but this still has not resolved my issue. I don't believe purchasing a new ipod is going to resolve the issue either.
    If anyone has successfully developed a workaround or recently downloaded itunes11 w/ Windows 8 and can sync to an apple ipod I would love to know how you did it.

    Im not sure that will solve the issue I have with itunes. I have a lenovo laptop and I think it's just an issue with Apple who has to modify the program for users of Windows 8 so that itunes can be used and to find purchased music. I found the music I purchased through itunes but it's not the full tracks. It said it allows me to download it fully so I can hear the whole track, but needs some kind of capatibility? I have no idea what the problem is. If someone has the answer knowing my computer brand and having windows 8 compatibility issues, please let me know what you suggest.

  • Is adobe photoshop cs2 compatable with windows 8?

    Is adobe photoshop CS2 compatable with windows 8?

    I have removed and re-installed CS2 twice now and still get the same library application error.
    DO NOT INSTALL WINDOWS 8 ONTO YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU WANT TO KEEP CS2!
    Telling us to spend more money to upgrade our software to meet OS does not show trust to the users. CS2 should be able to work with new OS systems and if not users should be allowed to update their current program for free to be able to use it on the new OS.
    Thank you,

  • Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation compatible with Microsoft Office Powerpoint?

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro and need to purchase iWork or Microsoft Office. Does iWork come with a form of powerpoint presentation? If so, is it easy to use and compatible with Microsoft Office presentation software? The latter question is extremely important as we use Microsoft Office primarily at the college.

    Yes, Keynote is iWork's PowerPoint equivalent. You can save as a PowerPoint file as well. Very easy to use IMO.

  • I have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3

    i have a serious (and bizarre!) issue with my novation impulse (Although i've tried it with two other keyboards and i still have the same problem) and its compatibility with mainstage 3.
    the problem is best explained on the following one - page thread: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3951518?start=0&tstart=0
    (Clearly i'm not alone in this problem, although i think i figured out what's going wrong a little more than he did...read on!)
    his solution, to put mainstage in jump mode, is very unsatisfactory to me, as it bounces all of a sudden to drastically different settings.
    basically, my analysis is that my controller is NOT receiving MIDI date from mainstage.  in other words, mainstage knows what my controller is doing, but my controller doens't know what mainstage is doing.
     let's say i turn the knob all the way to the right ... 127...and the virtual fader goes to the right like it's supposed to. 
    now...next...let's say i change to a different patch, where that same VIRTUAL fader is not at the max clockwise position..maybe it's only at 1pm.  now when i turn the physical knob to the RIGHT, the midi data is still at 127 on the controller!  it didn't "reset" to sync up with the new level (say 80 or so) setting on the new patch.  so i can't increase that new setting of 80 by continuing to turn the knob to the right.  i have to turn it all the way to zero,...and then continue PAST zero until the controller thinks that IT is at 0...at that point the controller and mainstage are in agreement, and things work fine....so bascially, the keyboard thinks the level is at max...but mainstage thinks the level is at 1pm.
    i am using Logic 9, and i have a macbook pro 2.9 Ghz I7 with 8 gigs of memory and OS X 10.8.4

    Hi Josh,
    Thanks for taking the time to contact us here a Novation for technical support. Lets continue to correspond via email so we can get your issue resolved.
    Thanks.

  • I build databases with appleworks over 10 years on my ibook, and continue to add to them. Now I have a macbook pro. How can I translate the databases to a compatible program?

    Over 10 years I have built several databases with Appleworks. Now I have a macbook pro. How can I translate these databases to a 10.6.8 program?

    Thanks Joe, but that won't work. I've finally found a site that answers the question: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page1.html
    I can only say that by Apple I have been royally screwed. I'll never buy another mac -- everything I do would simply disappear into cyberspace.

  • I have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?

    i have an ipod touch second gen, how can i download the facebook app if it says its not compatable with my current iOS?
    i had the facebook app but i could never upgrade it and i was ok with using the outdated version but when i reset the ipod so i could gift it to a friend it obviously got rid of the app and now i cant downloaded because it says its not compatable, how can i download the version i had before i reset it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Itunes 9.1 not compatable with XP?

    Tried to download 9.1 and keep getting error message that says: The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. Continuing installation of this software may impair or destabilize operation of your system either immediately or in the future.
    I have reboot computer several times, etc. Have never had a problem with any updates to itunes or iphone till now.
    Thoughts?

    Itunes 9.1 is definitely NOT compatible with Windows XP at this time. The culprit appears to be the Bonjour services package. I recently attempted to install via 3 methods: through Apple Update, via direct download over wireless and via direct download over wired connection. The result was the same in all three instances: when attempting to start itunes 9.1, it would immediately crash with a message "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close...". Upon checking the application event viewer (control panel > performance & maintenance > administrative tools > event viewer) I was able to determine that the itunes crashes were due to Bonjour in all but one instance. Bottom line: steer clear of itunes 9.1 until Apple gets their comparability issues corrected.

    Hello Highcountryhike,
              Thank you for posting your request.  You should have no issues updating to 10.10 Yosemite.  Below are a couple links that should help.
    If you run the Software Updates from the Apple Menu, to check for updates.  Some have had issues not seeing updates, so simply click on "Store" from the top menu, and then click on Reload Page".  Select to install HP Updates to ensure you have the latest drivers.
    In some instances, the printer can be updated in the printer queue to resolve other issues, so check to make sure that the printer is listed with the HP Printer Series driver and not just AirPrint.  System Prefernces/Printers & Scanners/ select your printer on the left and check on the right side under "Location:" that Kind: is the printer series.  You can also click the "-" symbol to remove and then re-add the printer queue again, choosing the HP Printer series name to install the drivers.

  • I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

    I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram.  Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?  What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible?  Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense?  I have an Epson R2000 printer.  Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion?  It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.    

    Before upgrading to Lion be sure to read this link:
