Migrated files wont open or error msg

I used migration asst to migrate files from Imac power pcG3 (OS 10.3.9 and classic 9.2.2 installed) to my new imac G5 intel. I selected " move files and folders only" but everything migrated. When i try to open old files, some open, others give msg " this file is locked or in use. Would you like to open a copy?". These are appleworks WP files. when i try to move any migrated file to the trash, i get msg "finder requires you to type your password".
I installed office:mac 2004 on new computer. since migration, it hangs up, cant close documents, have to force quit.
G5 intel   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Did you set the same username/password combo you used on the old iMac on the new iMac? If not, those belong to the old user, which should be available on the new machine, and not the new user, that's why you need to authenticate to trash them. Since you just got the new machine, you might consider restoring the new machine to the factory condition, using the same username/password combo on the old one, if you still have the old iMac, and using the Migration Assistant again.
As for the AW files, did you create them using the OS 9 version? Since the Intel-Macs can't run classic, you're probably out of luck opening them. If you still have the old iMac, you should open the AW files with the OS X version 6.2.8, convert them, and copy them over to the new machine. Then try to open them with the OS X version.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?

    I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
    I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anyway

    On Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
    But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

  • Itunes wont open - compatibility error...

    hi,
    today I had a problem with moving songs from itunes to ipod. have had this issue in the past which was fixed by using ipod updater.
    this didnt seem to work so for first time in ages ran the itunes updater. I can no longer open itunes and get the following error.
    Quicktime unavailable
    itunes requires Windows 2000 or later
    Please make sure compatibility mode is disbaled in the compatibility tab of the properties of itunes.exe
    well....I tried to do this (I am not massively IT literate!), have tried selecting or deselecting compatibility on this tab....and still wont open....any ideas?
    im on windows XP professional.
    cheers in advance
    mike

    hiya!
    if I find the mp3 file on my hardrive and move it to ipod manually it still doesnt appear when I disconnect.
    that's normal. for the ipod to recognise a song it needs to be transferred to the ipod via itunes rather than dragged and dropped with Windows Explorer. see the note at the end of this article:
    iPod: Operating System or iTunes Reports the Disk is Full, But It Does Not Look Full
    ... try resetting the warnings on your ipod and trying another manual sync:
    Resetting iPod warnings
    do you get an error message show up after resetting warnings?

  • ITunes wont open only error message

    iTunes wont open I only get an error message that reads. "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the My Music folder" My music is on an exernal hard drive and it worked before I upgraded and now it wont work.
    Please help

    hiya!
    it's best to leave the "My Music" folder on the C drive. it's a Windows special folder, so having it out on an external can cause weird problems if (say) the drive letter assignment for the external drive changes.
    okay, here's the best place to start:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, try the alternate technique from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • Recent update to 10.6.8 and now Finder app wont open.  Error 10810

    I cannot open finder after a recent update.  I get one error messages such as The application Finder can't be opened. - 10810.
    On reboot I get nothing but "finder quit unexpectedly"
    Can anyone help?  Im pretty much a novice and only recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and now Im pretty much dead in the water without the Finder app.

    Followed the directions on the Snow Lepoard disc.  Then did updates to bring it up to the 10.6.8
    Unfortunately I did not backup first.  I thought Time Machine could help but it wont open either. 
    Not sure what to do now.  Should I try to re-install snow leopard?

  • Itunes file wont open

    so im trying to install itunes to my computer and when i enter my email adress to download it.the file doesnt open .i dont get it plizzz help .!!!!!!!!!

    OK-
    First, let's get your iTunes open.
    Click on Start, Click on Run
    Type msconfig
    Click on the startup tab (last one on the right)
    Click on "disable all"
    Click apply, then click close
    Go ahead and restart your computer when prompted to do so
    When your computer starts back up, you should be able to open up your iTunes. When it opens, close it again. Now that we know it is able to open, it needs to be closed in order to resolve the file folder with exclamation point error.
    Now, let's get that file folder issue resolved.
    Click start, click all programs, click iPod, click iPod updater, click iPod updater (again)
    Click OK when you see the dialogue that tells you what the application's capabilities are
    Connect your iPod when it tells you to
    Click on the "restore" button when it becomes available
    IF the restore button does not become available, and if the iPod updater fails to recognize the iPod, disconnect it. Reset the iPod by (making sure the hold switch is off) pressing the menu button and the select button at the same time for about 10 seconds, until you get the Apple logo. As soon as you get the Apple logo, hold down the select button and the play/pause button together until you get a check mark on the screen. You may have to try this several times to get it to work... and sometimes it helps to lay the iPod down on a hard flat surface, like a table or your computer desk.
    Once you get the iPod into disk mode, you can go ahead and try to restore it again. (Start > All Programs > iPod > iPod Updater > iPod Udpater) Click OK, Connect your iPod when it asks you to do so, and then click the restore button when it becomes available.
    If you're still having issues, try reading through some of the following articles:

  • Quicktime file wont open in keynote

    hello,
    I have a quicktime (olderversion) i need to give to a friend who has Tiger with quicktime 7 and keynote.
    he wants to open the quicktime in keynote and use for a presentation.
    anyone know why it wont open in keynote??/

    Open the file (on your machine) using QuickTime Player. Open the Movie Info window and note the type of file format (.avi, .mpg etc.) and the sound and video codecs used.
    If you find third party codecs (Divx etc.) the Keynote user will need those codecs before they can view the file. Once it can be displayed using QT Keynote should also be able to import the file.

  • Pages Crashed, now file wont open

    I'm running Pages 2.0.2 on my G5 Dual 2.0 PPC, OS X 10.4.5
    Help!
    I was working on a 40-ish page document in Pages. I then duplicated the document on my hard drive and double clicked to open the duplicate. My plan was to scroll through the pages of the duplicate and update the page references in the index of the original document. I've done this before no problem.
    On this occassion Pages quit. Now the original document wont open and I fear I've lost everything! The progress bar nearly gets to the end and it looks like the document is going to open, then I get a message saying that Pages has quit. Everytime I try it, same message.
    I've repaired permissions - no joy. Also Pages works ok - all my other documents open no problem.
    Any suggestions? - The files in the document package appear to be named correctly as far as I can tell. I'm desperate to get the data back.
