New computer should I use appleworks

I am planning to buy a new IMAC. We have about 10 years worth of clarisworks, apple works documents that I want to be able to access and use. We have always been satisfied with Apple works. My questions are: 1. Will appleworks continue to be a vibrant program in the future? 2. Will I be able to access my old appleworks documents on the new Intel based version? and 3. If I decide to change to Word, can I still access my old appleworks documents in a new (for me) Word program? Thanks, Dr. Steve

Hi Stephen
Others have answered these questions, except for number 3. So I'll add my $0.02c.
I am planning to buy a new IMAC. We have about 10
years worth of clarisworks, apple works documents
that I want to be able to access and use. We have
always been satisfied with Apple works. My questions
are: 1. Will appleworks continue to be a vibrant
program in the future?
As others have noted, a new version of AppleWorks was last released in 2000 and the 6.2.9 update was released in 2003. As well, Apple have released a press statement in 2005 stating that they are developing iWork to replace AppleWorks. Lastly, AppleWorks is no longer being bundled with new Macs.
So version 6 is likely the last version of AppleWorks. However, it still does its job very well on all Macs, even the newest Intel-based Macs. It'll be around for years to come.
2. Will I be able to access my
old appleworks documents on the new Intel based
version?
Yes. But note that AppleWorks 6 may have problems with ClarisWorks 4 documents.
If you have any AppleWorks documents that are not in an AppleWorks 6 format then you should convert/resave them to this format before moving them to the new Mac.
3. If I decide to change to Word, can I
still access my old appleworks documents in a new
(for me) Word program? Thanks, Dr. Steve
The current and previous versions of Office:mac can only open AppleWorks 5 and 6 word processing documents.

  • When creating a new DPS should I use sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?

    Hello all,
    When creating a new DPS, should I use the sizes offered by InDesign or the display size of the device?  I ran into this question when I was looking up the sizes of different devices and found that iPhone 5s, iPhone5c, and iPhone4s sizes differ than the defauly dimensions offered by InDesign. 
    Also, should I worry about the ppi resolution?  With iPhone, they all seem to be 326ppi but when dealing with other devices is this something that I should take into consideration?  Ideally, I could be creating DPS apps for all devices offered in the Digital Publishing drop down in InDesign (iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire/Nook, and Android).
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    By the way, if it helps I am using InDesign CC.

    Using 1024x768 and creating PDF articles will get you OK with both iPad resolutions, and, as Bob L. says, quite decent "one size fits all" result for all other devices.

    Any suggestions?

    Probably far too old to register. Sounds like a bug, stopping the "never" selection from working. You may be stuck with it.

    Here is some info on battery/charging for apple products.
    ~ They normally come 2/3 charged, so you would want to charge it right away if you want a 100% battery.
    ~ Keep it out of the sun because the sun will take away battery life.
    - See link below for a lot of information on Apple products and batery life.

    I will look around for more information on this.

  • Loaded Elements 10 onto my new computer but cannot use photo email.  After composing the email I get message that says unable to complete.  I used photo email many tmes on old computer.  Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, Starter Edition 3.2 has been discontinued for some time now; an alternative option (which is free) could be google Picasa; check that one out to see if it might work for you.
    Photoshop Elements replaced Starter Edition, and comes with a sophisticated organizer that essentially does what Starter Edition did; download the tryout and use it for 30 days for free to see if it does what you want it to.

  • Want to transfer from old computer to new computer and discontinue using old computer. Which computer should be the main computer in the setup? Or should I transfer bookmarks and settings by another method instead of using sync?

    Have a computer which I will need to retire (bad hard drive), 32 bit OS. Have new computer 64 bit OS. Both computers have Firefox 5. Old machine on Windows 2000, new one on Windows 7. Old computer has all the bookmarks and settings that I need for the new computer. Also have Zotero on the old computer and would like to transfer it to the new computer. Any advice would be gratefully received.
    Much thanks.

    Hi,
    Regarding bookmarks, settings and history, Firefox Sync can definitively help even if it's not it's primary goal. You would need to transfer your Zotero configuration manually though.
    In order to transfer your data using Sync follow this instructions making your new computer the primary device: [[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]].
    Once everything is set up make sure that you have all the information in the new computer. After it, you should be able to retire your old computer without any issue. Remember, that if you remove the bookmarks before disconnecting your old computer they would be removed from your Sync account too.

  • Is it possible to import songs from an old apple id into the library on my new computer, but then use my own apple id from then on?

    Okay so I'm about to start college and I just got my own macbook. Up until this point, I have been using my dad's apple ID for all my music and apps and stuff (on my other computers at home) but now that I got my own computer, I have my own apple ID as well, and I'd like to start using that ID from now on.
    So my question is, is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?
    All I want from his ID is that library, because it's the music I have on my ipod and iphone. Once I have all that music on my new computer I want to be able to make purchases with my personal apple ID instead of his. Like I said, all I want is his library.
    I'm not sure how to accomplish any of this... so if anyone could help me out that'd be great! I'm so confused.
    Sorry if this was confusing lol I hope it makes sense

    ....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
    Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
    Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

  • Can I use my original aperature install disc to install on my new computer? not using old one any longer.

    How can I use my original aperature install disc to install application on my new computer? I am not using my old computer and don't want to have to repurchase this application.

    You are  allowed to do this. Are you asking how to do it? Just put it in the DVD drive and install like you did the first time. You'll need the serial number included with the DVD's.

  • Itunes will not play my songs on my new computer I am using Windows 8

    I bought a new computer a few months ago. It is an HP using Windows 8. I have all my music in my itunes library but they will not play at all. The music video's will play but not the mp3's.

  • New computer, can I use the disc on my new computer to install it there?

    Can I install it on my new computer after it's already been installed in my old one?

    If you do not plan on using the old computer, you are better off deactivating your suite, then uninstall. But as far as the license goes you are allowed to have it installed on two computers but only one copy can run at a time. This is meant to allow you to have it on your desktop and laptop as that is the most common senerio.
    If you already have it installed on two systems and can not access one of them to deactivate it, you can call adobe and see if they can do it for you, not sure if they will but it is worth a try.

  • How can i transfer my songs to my new computer? not using an ipod!

    Okay, not that the whole ipod hard drive situation is convenient anyway. I mean I didn't even realize that there was a certain way to save the files in need of transferring the songs. Here's the situation. I was using my boyfriend's dad's computer till I got mine, and I got mine only a week before coming to Japan. I was crunched for time, and I guess I didn't research it thoroughly, but knew I could use my ipod to transfer the songs. So I downloaded the songs onto my ipod. It wasn't till later when I realized why it wasn't working. Well now I'm in a bit of a pickle because I won't be able to get my ipod hooked up with that computer till next May. My boyfriend is coming to visit however next month, and was wondering if there was a convenient way for him to save the files, short of 50 cds, to allow me to transfer my music when he gets here. I searched the forums, but they all seem foreign! Can anyone help me?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. Are data DVDs expensive? and where can I find them? Once I get them, can I use the same steps as transferring songs using my old ipod? Couldn't find anything on transferring songs not with an ipod. Do I have to change preferences before saving them onto the DVD's. I can't seem to find that page again, but it seemed pretty specific about the steps I needed to take before saving the files onto the ipod and after hooking it up with the new computer. Can you help me with this?
    Sincerely, Diana

  • Installing Outlook 2013 on new computer - can I use 2010 backup/pst files

    I am currently using Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 machine but been having some issues and need to do a fresh install and reinstall everything. Once I've re-installed Windows 7, I would like to install Outlook 2013. Do I need to upgrade Outlook 2010 to 2013
    on my current install and then save the files/data necessary for the new install or can I save the files/data for Outlook 2010 and use them for Outlook 2013 on the new Windows 7 install? 

    Hi,
    In theory, we can use the old data file from Outlook 2010 in Outlook 2013.
    You can just open the old pst file in Outlook 2013 and then set it as default. Or, you can import it into Outlook 2013. For your convenience:

  • Help with new computer for Photoshop Use ?

    I am going to upgrade my laptop (prefer using laptop for various reasons) and I have the choice of two laptops. Yeah one is more expensive and is a gaming laptop but I just want to know which will work best with Photoshop CS6
    The two laptops I have the choice of and I don't want any other suggestions please as I only have these to choose from are:
    HP Envy DV7
    (details here)
    Samsun Series 7 Gamer
    (details here)
    The specs might not say but they both come with Win8 64 Bit
    I know the Samsung is a high end gaming laptop but that dosent mean it will be great at photoshop and would the cheaper HP do photoshop just as well for less money ??
    I would greatly appreciate any help and advice
    thanks

    Honestly, one cannot hope to advise you reasonably on how best to run an application as complex as Photoshop without your having stated any of your needs or goals.  Pretty much any modern computer will be able to run Photoshop.  But...
    What kind of work products are you going to want to make with Photoshop?
    Big images? Small images? Huge images?
    Are you planning to do things that rely heavily on the GPU?  3D?
    Are you going to work with an external monitor?  Is color-management important to you?

    That's a kind of meaningless question.
    It's akin to asking, "Would a Dodge take me to the store better than a Ford?"
    If you're considering doing serious Photoshop work I'd suggest reconsidering a desktop system.  Laptops are typically optimized for things other than what Photoshop needs.
