Just upgraded from a 1998 G3 to a Mac Pro and my WP docs wont open
How can I open my Apple Claris word documents when the Mac Pro doesn't support classic. Thats 10 years work that I cant open. Some doc were created in OS 9 and others in early OS 10.2
Please Help
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As has already been mentioned you need a Mac OS X version of Appleworks to open these documents. Appleworks version 6.2.9 is what you need.
http://www.dataviz.com/ makes Appleworks and Clarisworks word processing and spreadsheet translators for more current Mac OS X word processing and spreadsheet applications in their Maclinkplus package.
http://www.apple.com/iwork/ will open more recent Appleworks 6 word and spreadsheet documents.
http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter will open TIFF and PICT saved images.
http://www.eazydraw.com/ will open draw documents from Appleworks.
http://www.filemaker.com/ will open various command and tab delimited saved database files, but you will have to create new forms and layouts for them.
You may find someone at a local http://www.apple.com/usergroups/ who has an older Mac with Appleworks to assist you with the conversion to upgrade later if you no longer have the older Mac, or if you have no means of getting Appleworks 6.2.9.

I just upgraded from Mountain Lion to Maverick (10.9.3) and Adobe CC is listed as incompatible with this OS. What do I need to do to make it work again? Just a patch/update or do I need to uninstall and install?

Where are you seeing that information? Got a link?
According to the Adobe website: Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) compatibility FAQs | CC, CS6, Acrobat
Plenty of people, including me, are currently running CC on Mavericks. -
can someone please guide me to find my fonts...using Windows 7 and all are in my font folder in control panel and were just fine in CS5 but when i just upgraded from Illustrator cs5 to cs6 WIN (not cloud) and all my fonts did not transfer..only have Myriad. thanks
To confirm, al songs are already in your iTunes library of current computer, and they all play using iTunes (on the computer)?
And you are saying all the songs you purchased from the iTunes Store can be synced to the nano without any problems? But NONE of the other songs (that are NOT from the iTunes Store) can be synced to the nano, or SOME of them? -

I just upgraded from an iphone 4 to an iphone 5 and didn't get all of the apps
I just got a new iPhone 5 and I upgraded from the iPhone 4. I did sync my old phone before switching to the new phone. When I set it up, I didn't get all of the pictures or apps I had on the old phone. How can I fix that? Thanks for any insight!
Sign out, and then sign back into the app store. Make certain you are using the correct AppleID.

I just upgrade to Maverick on my 2 year old MacBook Pro and it has slowed down the computer terribly. All I see every time I do anything is that crazy circle going round and round. I don't recommend you upgrading. How do I get rid of it. I believe it forces you to buy a new macbook!!!!
It does not. First things first have you tried restarting?
Try restting PRAM

Try booting up in Safe Mode

Also open "activity monitor" and look and see what is using a lot of processing power. -
How can I see my iPhotos from a G5 PowerMac on a MacPro running Yosemite and Snow Leopard? Is Lion a more advance system that Snow Leopard?
The last iPhoto version you can run with Snow Leopard is iPhoto 9.2.4, and Yosemite needs iPhoto 9.6.
Move your photos to your Yosemite partition, if you want to use iPhoto with Photo Streams and other iCloud features.
As you are asking about Lion, you can run iPhoto iPhoto 9.2.3 or iPhoto 9.2.4 both with Lion and SnowLeopard, but there is no iPhoto version, that runs both on Yosemite and Snow Leopard, or Lion and Yosemite. -
I just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5 and having trouble with Mail search.
I used to be able to search through my Notes that were set up in my mail.app and now I can't. Is that feature now unavailable?
Restart the computer, when you hear the start up tone choose the Recovery Partition and open Disk Utility and run Repair Disk Permissions at least 2x on the internal HD. While you are there run Repair Disk at least 2x too. Then restart the computer in Safe Mode to clear some caches. Once you have done the Safe Mode restart then restart normally and test. If you have still lost all your data you can restore from your Time Machine or Bootable Clone backup.

I have Roboform 6 and CG supplied by Comcast. Extentions tells me neither one is compatible with FF5.0. What can I do?
On another problem, I upgraded against my better judgment because I like 3.6.17 better, but it kept crashing a couple of times a day. Sometimes I was playing a downloaded game, sometimes on a web site or browsing, it happened during various things. I thought maybe upgrading would help but now some of my programs etc. can't work.I found, by searching around here, how to go back to version 3.6.19(couldn't find 3.6.17)and now Roboform works like a charm again. BUT, when I open my Add-on list, CGPS Extension 1.0 tells me it's not compatible with FF 3.6.19. I'm about to pull my hair out, and I can't really afford to lose any(half bald now). I guess my only recourse is to find and reload version 3.6.17. HELP!!

Your window below with pluginfo does not much my list of add-ons. I have only one: forecastfox (weather for Germany). I have not been able to see a firefox toolbar, even though I have add-on toolbar enabled. I hve tried adding other add-ons, they don't appear in any toolbar eithereither.
The avg toolbar refuses to display my choice of weather. I have de-installed their one, which does not allow a wide range of cities, and reinstalled mine, which has adjacent city choices, all to no availa.
Is the problem Firefox 5.0.1. , avg 2011 orFirefox 4.0 and 4.0.1 are not secure and are no longer supported - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
*There are already reported attacks on the internet against users of Firefox 4.0 and 4.0.1.
*Firefox 4.0 and 4.0.1 contain security issues that '''''have not''''' and '''''will not''''' be updated according to the latest information.
*Firefox 5.0 includes fixes for the security issues in Firefox 4.0.1
*Firefox 4.0.1 included fixes for security issues in Firefox 4.0.
Only Firefox 5.0 and 3.6.18 are currently supported.

In addition, your outdated plugins contain security issues, so you are even more at risk. -
I uninstalled Beta 4 and re-installed 3.6.13 now Firefox will not open at all I tried to uninstall to start again but it will not uninstall either it does nothing, I have been using Firefox for a long time but cannot resolve this problem can anyone help and give me a solution please. As I use Firefox as my web browser it is very frustrating.
The fact it will not uninstall appears to be something completely new as nobody I know who uses Firefox has ever encountered this in the past.Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

There are no more details. The files either open to a blank page or the first page only.
Me thinks you have tried to connect to a shortcut folder and not a genuine folder.
Note Mac OS X in Mac OS X 10.4 has 3 popular folder shortcut locations:
The leftmost column of the Finder window.
The horizontal toolbar on the top of the Finder window
The translucent bar which can be anchored on the side or bottom of the screen known as the Dock. These are not true folder locations, but only locations for shortcuts. When you click on a folder for a volume that is not mounted, or is a folder which was deleted it will behave in this fashion. Often if you click on it the right fashion, it will change to a question mark.
In addition if it is an alias to an existing folder that has no contents, it will behave this way from the three shortcut locations.
If you right click instead of the left click a folder, it may think you want to do something to the folder which you can't do. Make sure your mouse button functions properly as a Primary button on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse.
Also make sure Universal Access is not turned on as it too can cause funny behavior in the mouse click actions, in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Universal Access. -
I keep getting a message about my disc being unable to be repaired and it wont install the mountain lion or my old 10.6. Any suggestions??
Your HD may be damaged, simply restart in the Recovery Patition (hold down Option key on start up tone and choose Recovery) then open Disk Utility, choose the internal HD and run Repair Disk, if any errors appear after the 2nd or third pass your HD is probably damaged and needs to be repaired.

I upgraded to 10.0.1 on my macbook pro and now I can only open a single window -- what happened?
Since upgrading to 10.0.1 I have not been able to open more than one window in firefox. If i have a window already open going to "open" does nothing. This is extremely frustrating. I'm using a macbook pro.
I remember this happening some time ago and the fix involved setting an option somewhere ...It's been so long since I bought my macbook pro in August of 2010, but I do remember the iwork disk that had pages, numbers, and keynote on it, but I can't find the disk in my closet. I did not realize that when I took my computer in to the genius bar to upgrade to Snow Leopard, and then to download Yosemite, that I would lose these applications. I had no reason to open pages when I emptied my hard drive to upgrade to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if I kept iwork when I upgraded to Snow Leopard at the Genius Bar. I had file vault on with my external drive on, and since removed it before the upgrade, but now all my documents are unable to open on my external drive. ****. So now the new problem is how do I undo file vault in a new OS 10.10 when encoded in 6.8? Can I take my external drive in to Genius Bar?
I bought my macbook pro at Best Buy, but can't remember if iwork came with this computer, or with an older mac I bought. Can anyone check to see if I have a valid key code, and will insertion of an iwork disc allow me to use pages with Yosmite? -
I have just upgraded from CS 6 (Dreamweaver) and now when I click on a picture on a web page in Dreamweaver it doesn't go to the folder where the photo is stored anymore. If this continues I'll have to go back to CS 6 as I have to put in alot of photos.
I am using dw cc and I just double click picture I want to change in dreamweaver cc and my image folder opens, select new photo and then it updates and I am good to go, I am using a mac
