Old documents created on AppleWorks cannot be opened.

I have just bought a new mac OS 10.5.8 and find that the old documents I have transferred to my new machine,which were created on AppleWorks 6, will not open. The message I get is that the application is not scriptable. I still have the set up discs from my old Mac, the 10.2.8 "angle poise" mac. Can I use AppleWOrks from that or how else can I get these files accessible again.
Thanks.

Several details are missing in your post.
Is AppleWorks installed on the new machine ?
If it is not, it's normal that you can't open the documents.
If the application is installed, you must know that AppleWorks 6.2.9 is unable to open several old documents.
This is why I often wrote that the best choice is:
install AppleWorks 6.2.4
Copy the AppleWorks folder in a disk image.
upgrade the AppleWorks available on the harddisk to 6.2.9
So, for standard use you will work with 6.2.9.
When a doc can't be open with 6.2.4 you will be able to open it with 6.2.4 then save it in a structure which will be readble by 6.2.9.
If you used a flashdrive to transfer the files, I may assume that the beast is formatted as FATxxx which is unable to transfer correctly AppleWorks files.
I gave details upon that in an other thread five minutes ago.

Word document created by Workflows do not open

We are using Sharepoint Online (2013 version) and sharepoint Designer 2013
We have a requirement by which we would like to update a 'Word template' with the metadata information from a Document Set. A word document is created after the workflow executes, but the
created document is corrupt.
It does not open in Word Web App and when I open it using Word, I get errors.
I have Word 2010 installed on my machine. Can this be some kind of incompatibility?
I was going through some threads in this forum and noticed that this problem has been reported before also.
Is this some kind of a known issue when creating documents using Designer workflows?
What will be the alternate solution to meet this requirement
Any suggestions in this regard would be helpful
Regards,
Maneesh Agrawal

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that the word documents created by workflow could not open.
Did the issue occur in other libraries? You can create a new workflow, then check whether it works.
You can also use the Copy item action for a workaround.
Here is what you can try.
1. Have your template in a folder that is hidden from your views.
2. Copy the template file with a name of your choice using "Copy list item" action
3. Use "Update List Item" action to change the properties.

Converting documents creating on Appleworks 6.0.4 to 6.2.9

I have been trying to find my answer from questions already asked and answered but am confused. I have copied from my wife's PowerMac G3 (OS 9.1) Appleworks documents created on 6.0.4 onto a Zip disk, then tried to open them on my iMac G4 (OS 10.2.8) with Appleworks 6.2.9 and they will not open or convert. I bought her a new iMac G5 with OS 10 so how will her files convert to the new one if they will not on my G4?

I was reading thru the problems with Appleworks &
noted many people like us seem to have a common
problem with losing files etc. when upgrading to
Tiger OSX 10.4.
People aren't losing AppleWorks files when upgrading to 10.4.
Two things are happening:
1) They erase their Mac and install 10.4. It's then that they realise that AppleWorks isn't on their Mac. That's because AppleWorks isn't part of 10.4, but was bundled with the particular Mac they purchased along with iLife and other software.
2) They try and transfer AppleWorks files using PC formatted storage like a Zip drive, USB drive, etc (as in Plumber's case). The problem here (if I recall correctly) is that the resource fork of the AppleWorks file gets stripped when copied onto PC formatted media.
I wonder if there is a bigger problem
that Apple needs to address.
It's not a bigger problem. And I don't expect Apple to address any AppleWorks issue now that it's being replaced by iWork and hasn't even had an update in years.
I noted you are using a
G3. If it is a 400mghtz-
Just a word of caution. I talked to Apple Support
today about our ongoing problems with AppleWorks
6.0.4 not running properly in Classic 9.2 and in
10.4.4 and apparent non compatibility transferring
files between systems, spell check. Macpaint, etc.
AppleWorks 6.0.4 was quite buggy. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work well in Classic. Updating should fix most of these problems unless there are other problems with your Mac.
AppleWorks 6.0.4 just won't work in any version of Mac OS X after 10.1. You'll have all sorts of problems. Upgrading to version 6.2.1 or newer is the only fix.

Pages documents snet by email cannot be opened

Having used IWork08 successfully for the past 8 months, I was dismayed to find out that a colleague of mine who had just downloaded the trial version could not open the files I sent her (Pages, Keynote or Numbers).
She could send me a basic template and I could open it. My I could not resend it to her or to myself. It would be either not-recognized as a pages document or it would be recognized as corrupted.
I know that the issue has been addressed in other postings within this forum but it might be worth addressing it again.
A Pages document is organized in a package. To see the content of the package: Go to directory where file is located. Right click (if mouse) and select "Show Package Content".
Most of the time such packages will not go through email applications, not only web-based but also IMAP-POP email programs such as Mail, Thunderbird or others.
The following doc is part of the Help Doc in IWork08. Although it addresses earlier versions of Pages and Keynote, it is still relevant in Pages 3.0.
==========================================================
ISSUE: Keynote and Pages: Document sent by email can't be opened*
REMEDY: Compress your Keynote and Pages documents before sending them by email if your recipients can't open them.
Symptom
Recipients are unable to open Keynote or Pages documents you send them.
*Products affected*
Keynote 1.x
Keynote 2 (part of iWork)
Pages 1.0 (part of iWork)
Mail (included with Mac OS X)
All web-based email applications
Solution
Compress your document into a Stuffit, Zip, or disk image (.dmg) file before sending it through email.

All right peoples.. I have found the solution to this extremely annoying problem. Lately for me, the index pages were opening at an ever increasing pace; until I found the solution. After trying with all malware and antispyware programs to no success. I finally learned how to fix this.
It seems like the #@&%er creating this problem is a rootkit. I found my computer was regularly trying to communicate with several IPs, which include: rollangarr0s . com and other websites belonging to a guy from India named Nmajjd Nbvjaa . If anyone knows how to report and stop this person and his activities, please do!!!
The info on his whois:

To get rid of the rootkit go to the following website, and download the utility TDSSKiller. Run it in your computer, and voila! after rebooting, your computer is clean. No more of the annoying index windows and creepy calls to this guy's websites..

Import documents created in Appleworks on a G3 to format readable on iMac

I have files from a G3 that were transferred on to the HD of a new iMac.
They are coming up as unknown file type. What can I do to make them readable?

You should be able to open AppleWorks documents with iWork, or possibly even with Office. Drag a document onto the desired application's icon to open it with that application.

Excel document is encrypted and cannot be opened.

Just tried Numbers for the first time. Launched it. Tried to open my main spreadsheet that keeps all my financial information (I'm self employed) and I get the message Numbers cannot open it because it's encrypted.
Steve Jobs said Numbers could open nearly all Excel documents. Does that mean that nearly all excel documents are not password protected?
I was really looking forward to using Numbers. Fallen at the first fence.

They don't want us (the dealers) to edit the spreadsheet, but they do want us to read it. It's their pricelist, they wouldn't sell a lot of equipment if we couldn't see how much it costs! The point is that Numbers won't even open a spreadsheet that is edit protected, not read protected. This is a major issue, it should at the very least tell me I can open or import the sheet as a read only.
Excel will always open the spreadsheet, it just can't make changes to it.
For right now, when I need to get information from the pricelist in Excel, I have to copy and paste the info from the edit protected page to another blank sheet. This is a royal PITA because the Excel pricelist has 50 plus pages. I have been officially told to do that by my manufacturer. But they won't give anyone the password to unprotect the edit function of the sheet. Go figure.

A pdf document created in cs5 cannot be printed in duplex on a pc without cs5 or adobe reader pro

Hi!
there is a "normal" cs5 created pdf document.
the installed cs5 pc -> i can print in duplex on every printer, without cs5 installed duplex printing not possible.
I am searching for a solution to print the pdf document in duplex mode on every printer, but only with the latest freeware version adobe xi 11.0.3.
(If i install adobe cs4 on a pc it is possible to print the document in duplex mode on a hp3525 printer, but duplex is not possible on a ricoh printer for example mpc5502.)
I cant upload the file, because its bigger than 2 mb. (5mb)
Is there anybody out there for help.
If you need the file, i´ll send 2 u.
thx

Yep, it definitely is a complicated workflow... But I'm not really sure of any other way to get from the 34" wide pattern to the home-sewing version which is split into pages and has alignment marks and whatnot. I'm very much an amateur that has figured it out as I went
I went through the page in the photo pretty thoroughly with the layer panel and I couldn't find any mystery lines... But I did find something interesting; when I click on any of the pattern lines, it shows the whole line of the pattern piece, which extends well past the edge of the artboard. So when I'm printing the poster-sized PDF to 7.5x10 pages, it's keeping all the anchor points of a line even if only a small piece of that is on the actual page.
Does this help? I've included the page in the photo as well http://www.putlocker.com/file/DADB4759DBB860D8
Thanks again to everyone!
Also, should I be keeping all the files I'm editing as .ai files and then only exporting to PDF for the very final product? I was doing that at first, but then using .pdf for the whole process didn't seem to make any difference.

I thought Pages would allow me to open my documents that were created in Appleworks 6, but it's not.

I upgraded my late 2009 iMac to Mt Lion and then had to find "obsolete" memory to increase capacity so I could put iWork on my desktop, so I could open my old documents created by Appleworks 6. I thought iWorks Pages '09 would open both Word and Appleworks documents, but it's not. I used my iWorks DVD version 9.0 and after installing I did a software update to 9.3. Can anyone give me the answer as to what to do in order to open all my documents or give me the answer that I can't do it using iWorks? Thanks

It is an interesting problem. If you were using all of the AppleWorks tools the way Apple intended, then you may have a Word processing document with embedded graphics and spreadsheet content. Apple suggests that Pages will open AppleWorks 6 Word processing documents, Numbers will open AppleWork 6 spreadsheets, and I believe Keynote will open AppleWorks graphics files. In between may be a gray area that other community members can help you address.
Although I have used AppleWorks 5 and 6 in the past, I no longer have any of these documents left.
The latest version of LibreOffice (v4.1) has added (so they claim) the ability to open Clarisworks, AppleWorks 5 and 6, and MS Works for Mac, Mac Word, etc. You might download and try the free LibreOffice and see if it processes your AppleWorks files. If so, it will allow you to export them in more friendly Office document formats. And quite possibly save you a ton of valuable time.

Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

Hello,
I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork. Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it. I get an error messages saying a file is missing. Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open. It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09.
Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
Any suggestions?

Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
You need to proceed as follows :
Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
So far, that seems to work.
(One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

How do I open documents created in apple works that will no longer open?

How can I open documents created in appleworks that will no longer open now that I have pages?

If you have the Apple iWork '09 suite installed, you can open pure AppleWorks word processing, spreadsheet, or presentations in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote respectively. You can not open AppleWorks documents in Pages v5, Numbers v3, or Keynote v6.
If you do not have the above iWork '09 suite, then download the free LibreOffice suite. Drag and drop your AppleWorks documents on the LibreOffice icon, and it will sort out what will open them. Note: LibreOffice will pause shortly after it takes you to an optional donation page — before continuing the download. Everything installs under /Applications/LibreOffice.

I was told if I downloaded Numbers I would be able to open spreadsheets created using Appleworks. Not true!

I was told I could open spreadsheets created using Appleworks using numbers. Not true!

Which version of Numbers? Which version of AppleWorks?
Numbers 1 ('08) and Numbers 2 ('09) are both able to open spreadsheet documents created by AppleWorks 6.
Neither is able to open spreadsheet documents created by AppleWorks 5 or be any version of ClarisWorks.
Numbers 3 is unable to open documents created by any version of AppleWorks.

"This document cannot be open because is it too old. First open by Pages 09"
What I have to do?? I do not have Page 09 any more. I've got Pages Vers.5.0.1

I suspect you have created the documnet's in Pages 08 or earlier. Do you have the iWork 08 DVD so you can install it? Then update to from this link Pages 08 3.0.3 Use it for you older documents and use Pages 5 only for new documents.

Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

I cannot open any photos/movies in Entourage, message comes up saying 'folder cannot be found'. Last week I deleted lots of old documents/downloads and fear that I have accidentally deleted what is needed to open photos/movies. Any suggestions please? Should re-install the whole Office:mac program, and is it easy to do this without disturbing what I have on my computer?

When you password-protected these folders then you did so to prevent anyone from accessing the pictures unless he had the correct password, even if he deleted the password application itself. Are you now asking how to get around this protection? If you
selected a robust protection scheme then you probably got what you wanted: uncrackable encryption. You need to check the FAQs of this application and/or google for clues. Alternatively you could restore your files from your external backup medium (if you have
one . . .).
