Mac classic clarisworks files

How i do i transfer word processing files on a mac classic (clarisworks 2.0) onto a macbook pro? My macbook pro has appleworks 6. The thing is the mac classic only has a floppy disk and the closest thing I own to a floppy drive is an external zip drive that I do not use anymore.

This information-dense article is a true representation of what is going on, but is nearly impenetrable -- largely because it assumes we have dedicated File Servers all over the place rather than two Macs (with built-in File Sharing capabilities) we want to connect:
301183- Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: "Connection failed" error when connecting to an AFP server
My interpretation follows:
Which Mac can be a File Server (source of shared files) under what circumstances:
To make way for the upcoming Intel Macs, AppleTalk and TCP/IP drivers for 10.4 were modified.
File Sharing via AppleTalk:
7.5.3 through 10.3.9 can share their files via AppleTalk.
10.4 cannot share its files via AppleTalk, and cannot mount drives from Macs that only want to share via AppleTalk. (AppleTalk printing in 10.4 is still supported.)
File Sharing via TCP/IP:
OS 9 and later can share its files via TCP/IP.
7.5.3 and later can mount other Mac's files on its desktop via TCP/IP if you use the "Server IP Address" button in the AppleShare Chooser Extension.
Executive Summary:
The scenario that always works is to start from the older, pre-9 Mac, and mount the 10.4 Mac's shared drives or shared folder on the older Mac by using the "Server IP Address" button in the Chooser.
Note: when using 7.5.3, you may have to download newer version of Open Transport and/or the AppleShare Chooser extension, but these are readily available. There is also a US$40 Utility available from called ShareWay IP, that allows pre-9 Macs to share their files using IP.

  • Play Mac Classic Shockwave files (7-8) in OSX

    I am in the process of reviewing the output of Director
    (Shockwave Files) from the years 2000-'02 that were originally
    authored in Director 7.0 - 8.5. I want to update the output files
    (Shockwave) so they can play again in the OSX environment.
    I am using a Mac PowerPC G4 running OS 10.4.8. I don't have
    the original source files from Director, nor do I have an MX
    version of Director.
    How can I playback these files? Can I use the most recent
    flash player or shockwave player?
    Thank you in advance for any assistance.

    Probably your only solution is to get a Mac that is capable of running OS 9 or at least Classic, such as a Mac with a G3 or G4 processor.

  • How can I transfer document files from my mac classic to my macbook?

    I have a floppy drive on my old mac classic and cd drive on my macbook.  Is there some way to connect the two and transfer files directly?

    A Macintosh Classic (http://support.apple.com/kb/sp198) has a SCSI hard drive. Even though the hard drive can be removed and placed in an external SCSI enclosure, it is not going to be easy to find a way of connecting it to a modern Mac. That would normally require a USB-to-SCSI adapter, which may or may not be supported under the latest operating system versions.
    The easiest method of transferring files from a Macintosh Classic may be via an external USB floppy drive connected to the modern Mac. 1.44 MB Mac-formatted floppy disks can be used for such transfers (not 800K).
    A SCSI Zip (100) drive could in principle be connected to the SCSI port of the Macintosh Classic. The Zip disk could then be moved to a USB Zip (100) drive connected to a modern computer.
    The Macintosh Classic does not have built-in Ethernet, nor a slot for an Ethernet card (certain other "classic" Macintosh computers do have the ability to hold an Ethernet card). There are some external solutions (such as SCSI-to-Ethernet adapters), but with limitations. For a networking overview, the http://www.applefool.com/se30/ web page could perhaps be of interest.
    It is also possible to arrange a null-modem connection between a Macintosh Classic and a modern computer, providing that a USB-to-serial adapter is attached to the latter (appropriate terminal emulation programs are needed on both sides).

  • Hard time for selecting Startup Disk (partition) in Mac Classic II.

    Dear coleagues, I'd like your help to understand and solve a tricky trouble. I'm sorry for the long text, but the issue is probably living in a small detail.
    The issue regards a Mac Classic II with internal and external HDDs. Internal HDD has two partitions, a smaller with System 7.1 (first) and a larger with System 7.5.3 (second). This one is installed there since 5 years ago, working fine.
    The (just installed) external HDD has 6 partitions (because of its size 9 Gb). It has been formated runing VCP in this Classic II itself and all partitions are initialized with HFS. It is intended to be a backup for my Classic II as well as my Mac Plus. I've started Installing System 7.5.3 in its third partition. Other partitions remain still empty.
    Using only internal HDD I can already perceive that "Startup Disk" control panel is unable to change the boot partition attribute between partitions in the same drive. When I open "Startup Disk" it usualy both partitions of internal HDD are highlighted. I can select a Zip Drive, for instance, and it will boot from Zip. But, when I switch it back to HDD, doesn't bother wich partition I select, it will always boot with the same partition (usually 7.5.3). Then, If i open Startup Disk CP again, both partitions are again highlighted.
    To switch between partitions in the same drive, I use Lido 7.5.6 PMount and there I select the boot partition. Then every time I select my HDD, that'll be the default boot partition.
    My conclusion is that in Mac Classic II the Startup Disk CP is unable to set a partition within a drive, it selects the drive only. The boot will obey the drive's partition table flag. That's why I can do it whith Lido, writing directly at HDD's flags.
    Now, attaching the external HDD, I can see all its partitions in Startup Disk CP and then I select one of them (the 3rd, with 7.5.3). Before rebooting, I close and open again the Startup Disk CP, then I can see all its 6 partitions highlighted. Just like I've been doing with the internal HDD, probably the solution to set a specific boot partition would be through Lido 7.5.6 PMount again. But Lido is unable to handle this drive. It appears gray in the drives list.
    What does it sound to you? What would you recommend to test? Is there an alternative for Startup Disk CP?
    Thank you.
    Regards, Ciro (Brazil)

    Dear Jan, good Evening.
    Thank you for your time.
    In fact I can select a specific partition, but by closing and reopenning Startup Disk CP I realize that the selection has been attributed to the physical drive (all partitions highlighted).
    I have tried Startup Disk CP in both System 7.1 and System 7.5.3. They do the same way.
    Internal HDD has been formated, partitioned and initialized with Apple HD CS Setup.
    This external HDD in a different way. Apple HD SC Setup hasn't been able to "see" it, probably because of its prior format system. Lido neither. That's why I went to VCP. Moreover, as it is too big for 68030, I had to format it attached to a Performa 6360. After formating, I've let VCP make set the partitions in HFS mode (partitions with 512, 1024 and 2032 Mb).
    I've mounted VCP in Mini VMac to get some screenshots for you:
    Bringing it back to Mac Classic II, it could be mounted with Lido, but System 7 has asked to initialize all partitions again. I've accepted, installed system 7 on it, and it didn't boot. Then I've repeated the partitioning and initializing procedures using Apple HD SC Setup (since now there's a Mac HDD with "small" logical drives). Nothing changed.
    I'm following your tip about System Picker. I've downloaded the sit file and read about it. It seems to be able to overlay the problem. I'm gonna try it and report back here.
    But I feel still uncomfortable not to be able to do things the regular way. As far as I know, the boot partition is an attribute of a drive partition in partition map, just like the "Active Partition" found in FAT systems. I should be able to write there as I can do with Lido in internal HDD.
    Thank you, Jan.
    Best regards,
    Ciro Bruno.

  • IMac .docs to Mac Classic

    I own a powerhouse 27" iMac, but I love the old Apple/Macintosh Computer systems. I collect them and even do a minor bit of written work on some of them... just for the nostalgic feel of it.
    My question is this: How do I get an RTF file written in Word, Text Edit or [preferably] Pages to transfer over [and be readable/workable] on the Mac Classic?
    It works via 1.44mb floppy the other way around, but I can't get anything written on the iMac to be legible on the Mac Classic.

    iconRED,
    Part of what you are seeing is meta data. The best illustration of meta data comes by opening a Word '97 document with Word 5.1. The older software will show a lot of gibberish, including information like who created the file and where it is saved to on the hard drive. But, on page ten or twelve, you will see the clean text from the newer software.
    Newer software has added so much more information that the older software does not know how to deal with it. The trick is to get the newer software to save the files in the simplest of file formats. Easier said than done.
    For example, Office 2004 will crash OS X if you copy more than just text from a website and paste it into a Word document. Copy a file from a website and paste it into TextEdit, paste it into Pages and paste it into Word. You will get three different results. If you copy just small blocks of text from a website, you should get more predictable results.
    For example, look at this page:
    http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=1.04
    That page gives you three options for looking at the data.
    First, one cite at a time,
    Second, the whole chapter at a time,
    and
    Third, "print friendly version."
    If you copy and paste the whole page into a word processing application, you will end up with some gibberish. If you view the 'printer friendly page and copy the whole block of text, but not the whole page - do not use 'select all' under the edit menu, you will get nice useable text to paste. That information will paste nicely into Word 3.0 or 5.1. The fact that Microsoft successfully developed a way to crash OS X each and every time you try to paste anything but text into a Word 2004 document just shows how much extra junk is included in newer word processing documents.
    So, if you want text documents to open cleanly in older software, you need to strip out all the junk. In other words, create a true RTF document on a new computer using new software and you will have backwards compatibility. Add any new features like photos, tables, hypertext, HTML, etc. and you will get gibberish on your older computers.
    Hope that made sense.

  • Mac Classic II Software Update?

    I just picked up a Macintosh Classic II that had OS 7.0.1 on it. I want to upgrade it to 7.6.1 but cannot. I can't load 7.6.1 because I need 7.6 and I can't load 7.6 because I need 7.5 and I can't load 7.5 because I need 7.1 and I can't load 7.1 because it's not available. A;so 7.1 is not for the Classic II.
    How do I get from A to Z (or 7.0.1 to 7.6.1)?
    I have downloaded a ton of older OS 7 stuff from Apple Older Software page and nothing works.
    What are the answers?

    Bud,
    Just a couple of comments.
    To get any .sea or .bin diskette to open ........ must be loaded on the MAC Classic II first.
    StuffIt Expander (for a way of obtaining the 4.0.1 version for Mac, see above) will decode MacBinary (.bin) files, as well as BinHex (.hqx). A self-extracting archive (.sea), where the resource fork has not become damaged during transit, will expand automatically when double-clicked upon. If there is a problem, one can try to drag a StuffIt .sea file (there are other .sea files that may behave differently) onto the StuffIt Expander icon. Disk Copy 4.2 is only needed in order to open Disk Copy 4.2 type disk images, and is not required for the System 7.5.3 download.
    I cannot unpack .smi yet. 7.5.3 first disk image has this and is needed to install the other 18 disk images.
    When the nineteen .bin files have been decoded by StuffIt Expander (apparently, this is what you did already on the modern Mac), they (one. smi and eighteen .part) are to be placed in one common folder on the Classic II hard disk. As indicated earlier, then merely double-click on the .smi file. This should mount the total image (the 7.5.3 installer will be found inside).
    Both the 7.5.3 (& 7.5.5) and 7.6.6 need their initial upgrade, i.e., 7.5 and 7.6 primary OS installed first.
    I think you mean 7.6.1 (not 7.6.6). In that case it is true that 7.6 is needed (nothing earlier). The downloadable System 7.5.3 however will install and work as it is, provided that the Classic II hard disk has an appropriate bootable operating system. If necessary, a 7.5 startup floppy can be made from the aforementioned Network Access Disk 7.5 download.
    A CD image can be transferred to the MAC Classic II (or whatever) by hooking up the MAC II 25 pin HD connection to another computer that that is connected to your Ethernet.
    Apple supports SCSI Disk Mode (HD Target Mode) for certain PowerBook computers (equipped with an HDI-30 SCSI port). The PowerBook would then act as an external hard drive when connected to a desktop Mac (which has a DB-25 SCSI port). Special adapter cables have to be used for this.
    Otherwise, a direct connection between two SCSI ports is not supported, and may be risky.
    It is possible to remove a SCSI hard drive from one Macintosh computer, and then (via a different kind of cabling) connect it (externally or internally ) to another SCSI Mac.

  • Mac Classic II hard drive

    I am busy archiving my collection of floppy disks using an old Mac Classic II with an attached ZIP drive. It was working fine until yesterday. Yesterday when I turned the computer on, I got the flashing question mark instead of the normal startup sequence.
    I booted off of a Disk Tools floppy and ran Drive Setup. It told me there was no hard drive to be found.
    So I'm looking for a replacement hard drive. But I seem to recall Apple doing some sort of firmware thing on the drives that could be used in their computers. Do I recall correctly or will most any SCSI disk work as a replacement?
    I'm running System 7.0.1 on this machine.
    Gary

    Gary,
    Copy/Install a System folder and boot from the Zip Drive.  We used to have multiple zip disks with multiple systems.  Even OS 8.1 will fit on a zip disk if you leave out the file translation software.  For now, find a second Zip Drive and set one for ID 5 and the second for ID 6.  Hopefully you were able to back up files before the hard drive died.
    Also, a program from Mount Anything should work for you.  The point of the Apple enabled drives was that the computer would recognize them at startup and did not require special software to mount the drive.  Iomega provided Iomega Guest as a small file that could be installed on a friend's computer.  Once you used Guest to mount the drive, you could select the drive as the boot device and the Mac would boot from the Zip Drive.  Having Guest on your Disk Tools floppy would let you get up and going.

  • Uninstall mac classic

    is there a way to uninstall mac classic (OS 9.2.2) to make room since my hard drive is running out of room?
    i no longer use programs that require OS9.
    thanks

    radiohead62, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Sure but OS 9 doesn't take up much room. If you are running out of disk space you will need to back up and remove other things.
    Use WhatSize to determine what is using up your disk space. Then determine if you can back up and remove the big files.

  • How to open and use mac outlook email file on pc

    I recently moved from mac to widnows platform. I have my emails exported from mac in a file and now when I try opening the file on windows pc, it simply
    does not recognize it as a valid file. what shall be done to get emails back?

    Hi,
    Based on the description, you seem to have an olm file? Please note Outlook for Windows can only import emails from pst files, olm files can't be imported into Outlook for Windows directly.
    A workaround is to setup an IMAP account in Outlook for Mac - it's better to be an empty new account, we can sign up one from many email providers. Then move all emails you need to migrate into that IMAP account. Outlook will
    start to sync, all the emails will be uploaded to the email server.
    The next step is to create that IMAP account in Outlook for Windows. After the emails are synced, we should find all these emails you need in the local .pst(Outlook 2010) or .ost (Outlook 2013) file.
    I hope this makes sense for you, if you have any questions about the steps, feel free to let me know.

  • Any hope for my Mac Classic?

    OK, so I ran out to Radio Shack and bought a computer cable...
    My Mac Classic will turn on and has shown me a checkerboard pattern, made a few grindy noises, and then just a plain gray screen. I turned it off and then on again and a few minutes later I got a sad Mac face with some 0s and 1s underneath it. I turned it off and on again and now just have the checkerboard pattern.
    Is this it? Must I know turn my Mac into a "Macquarium" or is there maybe a smidge of hope that I can get it working again (or at least be able to transfer some data off of the hard drive?)
    Thanks in advance!

    The Mac classic uses a memory-mapped screen buffer. If you get a coarse checkerboard pattern on the screen that is visible without squinting, it indicates a memory problem.
    The most common problem is accumulated corrosion on the SIMMs/sockets, and the most likely cure is to remove the SIMMs, shine up the tin plating on the contacts with a soft eraser and do not touch them with your (oily) fingers afterward, and re-install them. If your SIMMs have gold fingers, remember that the gold is very, very thin, and you can easily scrub the gold completely off.
    While you have it apart a new PRAM battery is also a good idea if it has been off wall power for a few months or more.
    Getting the case open to get access to this stuff is not trivial. Procedures are posted on the Web and any number of posters here can help you with it also. Just indicate where you would like to go next and what you would like to accomplish. Posters here are eager to help.

  • File Object Unable to select Mac OS package file

    Hi,
    I'm trying to select a Mac OS package file using either the
    File object 'browseForDirectory' or 'browseForOpen' methods,
    whichever method I choose doesn't work and the packages appear
    greyed out in the finder and are not selectable.
    On Mac OS, directories can be designated as packages and show
    up in the Mac OS Finder as a single file rather than as a
    directory.
    Does anyone know whether this is a known bug, and if so are
    there any workarounds.
    I can hardcode the path to a package and then process all the
    files within, however I need for the end user to be able to select
    the package.
    Thanks,

  • Color Cast Only On Mac Generated jpg files When Viewed In Bridge Cs3 Preview

    Hi,
    ( Issue With Cs3 Bridge Viewing Jpgs - Getting Colour Cast on the Mac Generated Jpgs Files Only When Viewed In Bridge Cs3 On PC )
    Using  CS3 creative suite Mac & PC and viewing all files on the PC.
    We have  psd files when viewing in bridge they are  ok and save jpgs via PS3 both on the Mac & PC off the same PSD file that we started with.
    But when viewing these jpg files in bridge we get a red cast only when viewing from the Mac generated files from the same PSD we started with.
    When we open the jpg files up in Photoshop all of them are ok we no issues only when viewing in bridge we get the red cast.
    All PSD files have the same information content:
    Bit depth
    Colour space
    Pixel size
    Why are we getting this happening.
    Thnx

    Thanks very much for that lead, NormanPCN. I do have Auto Tone checked, though the rendered files in the example above do not have XMP sidecars. I will try unchecking Auto Tone even so, and post back when I see what happens.
    Thanks again,
    Kieren
    EDIT: Bingo! I took Auto Tone off in ACR Preferences (in Bridge) and the non-RAW files immediately regenerated thumbs and previews. They now are indistinguishable from the PSD. There is still the very slight difference which I mentioned between the PSD and the CR2. While that seems odd, it is small enough to be relatively trivial.
    Many thanks!

  • How can transfer Mac Outlook Contact files to the MacPro Address book?

    I tried the suggested three step process, ie, (1) Export Contacts from Outlook in txt formant, and (2) Open the txt file Excel and Save As in csv format, (3) Import the csv file into the MacPro Address book. However the Export from Outlook Contacts in txt results in a messed up file with data in random columns.  The Import into the Address book resulted in 21,000 plus entries (my Outlook Contacts had about 3000 plus).  Any solutions?

    Mac Outlook exports files in a .olm format. What you need is an .olm to the Apple format converter - here's such a tool - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/olm-converter-pro/id522796199?mt=12 = expensive but it gets pretty decent reviews.
