Need Help With Appleworks Files on New Macbook

Hey Everyone,
I had an old iMac blueberry with OS 9.2 using appleworks. I just bought a MACBOOK and i got iWORK and MS OFFICE 2004 installed on it. How can i get my appleworks files to open up on my new MACBOOK.
please help
-

will Appleworks transfer and run on an INTEL based
MAC?
AppleWorks 6 is a "package" that contains both a Classic (Mac OS 9) application and an OS X application. The rest of what's essential to AppleWorks 6's operation is included in the other items inside the AppleWorks 6 folder. AppleWorks will generate all needed items outside this folder when it is run.
The OS X application will operate (and operate well) on the intel based Macs using Rosetta, which is included with these machines. AW 6.2.4 and AW 6.2.9 (IN Mac OS 9, the version numbers on the splash screen and in About AppleWorks for these two are 6.2.3 and 6.2.8) are the most stable and least error prone in OS X; update before or after the transfer if you have earlier versions.
Remember also that your AppleWorks license allows for only one copy to be installed on a computer. If you want to continue to use AppleWorks on the G3 iMac, you'll need to purchase a retail copy to install on the MacBook.

Barry

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays

In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*;       //Imports the Java library
class progB                    //Defines class
    public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
        BufferedReader keyboard;                                  //<-
        InputStreamReader reader;                                 // Allows the program to
        reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in);               // read the the keyboard
        keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader);                  //<-
        String name;                 //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
        int newnames;               //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
        int order = 0;              //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
        String[] array;             //Dynamic array (empty)
        System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?");   //This will get the number that will later define the array
        name = keyboard.readLine ();
        newnames = Integer.parseInt (name);                                         // Converts the String into the Integer variable

}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)

By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with?

I need help with viewing files from the external hard drive on Mac

I own a 2010 mac pro 13' and using OS X 10.9.2(current version). The issue that I am in need of help is with my external hard drive.
I am a photographer so It's safe and convinent to store pictures in my external hard drive.
I have 1TB external hard drive and I've been using for about a year and never dropped it or didn't do any thing to harm the hardware.
Today as always I connected the ext-hard drive to my mac and click on the icon.
All of my pictures and files are gone accept one folder that has program.
So I pulled up the external hard drive's info it says the date is still there, but somehow i can not view them in the finder.
I really need help how to fix this issue!

you have a notebook, there is a different forum.
redundancy for files AND backups, and even cloud services
so a reboot with shift key and verify? Recovery mode
but two or more drives.
a backup, a new data drive, a drive for recovery using Data Rescue III
A drive can fail and usually not if, only when
and is it bus powered or not

Need help with Tamil unicode fonts in Macbook OSX 10.6.7

I am really desperate for some help figuring out my Tamil unicode font problem. With great difficulty I got all these fonts set up on my previous ibook G4. When that computer died in the fall I got this new Macbook, and had all my data brought from the old computer to the new one. Fonts were working great, as before. Well recently I had a hard drive failure on my new Macbook (OSX 10.6.7). I now have a new hard drive, and I brought over all my data from an external hard drive using Time Machine. Everything appeared to be working great....except the Tamil fonts. Previously I was using Murasu Anjal unicode font which allowed me to type in Tamil font and view Tamil on webpages, no problem. I understand that Snow Leopard has Tamil font support (including Anjal), so I am confused as to why they were working before but are not working now-especially because on my husband's Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.5) you can see Tamil fonts on webpages and he has no special Tamil font installed whatsoever. For me the only thing visible is boxes. I am in the midst of finishing up a dissertation which is really dependent on being able to read and write in Tamil fonts. I am desperate to get this fixed but just cannot seem to figure it out. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice!!! Thanks so much!!!

I've always used the Anjal keyboard with no problem...at least there was no problem before my MacBook hard drive had to be replaced, with a newer operating system, as I had mentioned previously. When I type in Pages, NeoOffice or TextEdit, the results are the same. Many of the characters show up, but vowel combinations--especially the "o" or "u" vowels--show up incorrectly or are unintelligible. Strangely, typing in Tamil font (using Anjal keyboard) in internet searches works perfectly, but ONLY in Firefox (?) NOT in the Safari browser. Prior to re-installing the InaiMathi font, which had seemingly vanished with the transfer of my data to the new hard drive, I was unable to type Tamil anywhere, not even in Firefox. Now it works only in Firefox. For example, if I were to type in Tamil in this window, it works fine: தமிழ் நாடு.
Being able to do Tamil searches in Firefox as I had previously is really a major boon for me, but of course I'd love to be able to produce Tamil text, especially as I am about to embark on a 6 month research jaunt to South Asia.
Many thanks for all your help thus far, and for any further advice you might have.

I need help with copying files in java?

hi, i use the following code sample to copy a directory structure and its files.
It copy's the directory-structure, but all the files in it have 0kb as size. except one file.
Here's the code:
public static void copyDir(String source, String target)
String [] listing = new String [0];
FileReader in = null;
FileWriter out = null;
String sourcePath = source;
String targetPath = target;
// Maakt directory onder target directory
File f = new File(targetPath);
f.mkdir();
// Maakt filelist van bestanden in source-directory
f = new File(sourcePath);
listing = f.list();
for(int i = 0; i < listing.length; i++)
f = new File(sourcePath + listing);
if(f.isDirectory())
copyDir(source + listing[i] + File.separatorChar,
target + listing[i] + File.separatorChar);
else
try
in = new FileReader(sourcePath + listing[i]);
out = new FileWriter(targetPath + listing[i]);
int t;
while (-1 != (t = in.read()))
out.write(t);
try { Thread.sleep(200); } catch (InterruptedException e) { }
System.out.println("Copied: " + sourcePath + listing[i]);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println(e);

Here is a quick copy program that works. You'll need to deal with the exception instead of just throwing it though.
import java.io.*;
public class Copy
private static void copy(String source, String target) throws IOException
    // Create directory
    File file=new File(target);
    file.mkdirs();
    // Get contents
    file=new File(source);
    File[] files=file.listFiles();
    // Copy files
    int length;
    byte[] buffer=new byte[1024];
    for(int i=0; i<files.length; i++)
      String destination=target+File.separator+files[ i ].getName();
      if(files[ i ].isDirectory())
        copy(files[ i ].getPath(), destination);
      else
        FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream(files[ i ]);
        FileOutputStream out=new FileOutputStream(destination);
        while((length=in.read(buffer))!=-1)
          out.write(buffer, 0, length);
        in.close();
        out.close();
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    copy(args[0], args[1]);
}[\code]

Need help with backup files made by HP Recovery.

So in 2011 I had made a post about a DV9 series HP laptop I had that I felt needed a harddrive. Well the laptop has been sold to a friend of mine and he has since fixed the issue it had. My curent deboggle is trying to deal with the 36GB of data it backed up onto an external USB powered harddrive. The information was saved from a system that ran Windows VISTA, on that same DV9 Pavilion. I have a new laptop and it's a Pavilion DV6 running windows 7. Is there some sort of 3rd party application or an uncommon HP utility that can open, run or modify. Specificaly I need to some files but not all, but if my only option is to extract all then that would be fine also. There is an executible in the backup folder but it doesn't extract anything it just locks up.
For the TLR portion, need to access backup files made on an older HP laptop with windows vista to a newer HP latop running windows 7.

Terribly sorry for the post, I should have researched more before posting. I found the answer to my issue in another thread here on the HP forums! Thanks so much!!

Need help with fla.file

Hi!
I'm always having trouble with a fla.file in cs3 professional. Every time i try to reopen the file in flash i get this:
failed to open document/users.desktop/jason/social.fla
pls help reopen this file
jay

create a new directory and move your fla there and try and open. if that fails, change the file's name and try and reopen. if that fails and you created the fla, it's probably corrupt.

Need Help With Music File

I just got my ipod shuffle and i had all my music stored in- my documents/my music folder and i installed itunes and all that with the cd it came with. and it inported all my mp3 files. but i had a bunch of windows media files. i found a mp3 encoder and made them all mp3 for my ipod. but in itunes they dont show up. and any new songs i download dont show up only the ones that loaded when i installed it. how do i get my music on the library? do i have 2 move my music somewhere. srry im new 2 this thx for ur help

Hi there.
Any music you download with iTunes is automatically added to your library, so I'm not sure what is up with that without more info.
As for the other, when you converted the files outside of iTunes (it could have done it for you with unprotectd WMA files), you then needed to tell iTunes tere is new music.
To do this, choose add to library (add folder?), then navigate to the folder you want to add. Select it and iTunes will add all the new tracks in that folder to your library.
This needs to be done every time you use a program other than iTunes.

Need help with copying files onto external drive

Getting new Hard Disk. Need help with moving files from old one.

Hey guys so here is my dilema. So I have a Lacie 500GB Hard Drive and made the mistake of accidently deleting all my backups.db into the trash but thankfully never emptied that. There was no way to put it back into the backups folder so it caused me a lot of distress. I have decided to grab a portable hard disk instead such as the Western Digital. Heres my thought. I really only want to transfer a few things from the Lacie such as photos, movies, and a few documents from all the backup dates but nothing else. Is there a way to maybe automate so that certain files will transfer over instead of it all?
Thanks in advance!
On a sidenote, if you have any suggestions for portable, small, lightweight, yet large capacity (at least 1TB) portable hard drives let me know!

Lacie is a Seagate drive
To move specific files, open the backup database (time machine, backups.db). When you open Time Machine and select a date to restore from, you should see a Finder like view of that particular backup. Navigate through the backup the same way as you would through the Finder and choose the folder or files you wish to restore.

Can't open old AppleWorks files on new MacBook Pro w/Snow Leopard

Just bought a refurbished MacBook Pro, did the migration from my old (2 yrs) MacBook via FireWire. Many of the old application icons are not appearing in my Dock, just Question marks ???. When I click on a ?, it indicates the name of that app which was there on the old MacBook, but there's no icon & I can't open the app from there. I can't find my Adobe Reader app, & several others, on the hard drive. Maybe I can find a work around for those....
BUT - zillions of files in the old AppleWorks/ClarisWorks files open in sometimes unreadable text, with all formatting gone. I NEED these files!! Please help!!

Thanks for your reply. When I try opening an AppleWorks documents with Pages as you suggested I get the message that the AppleWorks document is damaged.
Ahh...then it may actually be damaged. All of my old AppleWorks docs (word-processing docs) are opening just fine with Pages. On the other hand, if the AW doc is a drawing or database doc then Pages might not be able to open it. If the AW doc is a spreadsheet, it might open with Numbers.
Would you suggest that I use Migration Assistant to transfer my older files from my iMac to my MacBook (rather than using the thumb drive?) Will it ask me about overwriting files? My concern is that it may erase some changes to newer versions of documents that were on the thumb drive.
I do have the installation disk for my MacBook and all disks for the iMac.
No, If you still have your AppleWorks installation disk, I would suggest installing it and trying to open the 'damaged' docs that way. Later, if an item won't open in Pages but will open in AW, then resave it in AW as a generic format that Pages will open. In this way you can move these docs from the now unsupported AW and into Pages format. If we wait too long, we may not be able to install AW at some point in the future and then your old docs will be orphaned.

Migrating from iMac CD to MBPC2D - Need Help with the FIle Migration

I just ordered a refurb 2.4 MacBook Pro, which will replace my iMac Core Duo as my main machine. The iMac is running Tiger. I've decided that I only am concerned with migrating the following information from the iMac, and want some help on the best way to do this (paths/locations would be helpful too):
-iPhone backups - to ensure my iPhone doesn't get wiped when it syncs. I will want to copy the last backup over to the MBP.
-All iTunes Music and Movies
I will then manually re-install VirusBarrier x4, MS Office, etc. I think this is better than trying to migrate everything over. What do you think?
Edit: I also have a FireWire external hard-drive available to assist with this.
Thanks

Need help with loading Windows 7 onto Macbook Pro - Bootcamp and parallels

Hi,
I have a windows PC and changing over to a Mac. I purchased today Parallels and Microsoft Office for Mac in order to use them on the MacBook.
Also please note - I need to use Bootcamp for some programs that I need to use - and then also be able to use parallels.
Where I am up to at the moment is - since there is no disc drive on the laptop where I can insert the disc - I have gone onto my PC and downloaded the Windows 7 usb/dvd download tool setup - however I dont know where I find the ISO file for Windows 7? So if someone could help me with that.
Alternatively - can someone please let me know if I can just pay and download Window 7 for Mac - and then run it through boot camp etc. If someone can please give me some advice on this - and also a handy step by step guide on how to achieve it.
Thank you so much in advance for your help!!!! I really appreciate it!

Thanks Clinton - When I went into Apple store today, I told him about the programs my husband needs to use for a CBUS course. The guy there said his room mate has done the same thing and cannot use parallels for the programs they need to run (it doesnt seem to work properly) so he is using boot camp to run them and it works fine. So I am wanting to run Boot camp first and then once the course is finished run everything through parallels.
So I have gone into Boot Camp - and because there is no Disc drive I cannot insert the disc - so I have gone back onto the PC to put windows onto a USB to then use with Bootcamp. I just cannot find the ISO file path for Windows.
I hope this all makes sense!
I am thinking I maybe i will buy the windows ISO file instead of trying to hunt it down on the PC. Do you think this is the best way to do it?
