Old Waveburner WB2 files want open in WB 1.1.2

Hi,
according to the maual, WB2 files from Mac OS9 should open in WB 1.1.2. When trying to do so, the old files will show, but I get a message: "Document "xxx" could not be opened. Anybody got any ideas??
regards, michael

the only thing i might suggest is check your current version ... FCP 5.1, 5.1.1, and 5.1.2 all use different project formats (or at least 2 different kinds) - are you the most current ie 5.1.2. i know it doesn't make sense, but that doesn't mean it might not help you ...

Opening old OS 9 WaveBurner 2 files in Waveburner (Logic Pro 8 version)

Okay, so here's a very esoteric question that I cannot seem to get an answer for. I went to the Mac store in Glendale, CA and three of their techs could not help. I also don't see the question addressed on this forum, probably because it's so old/odd.
Anyway, I have dozens of old files from my days using WaveBurner Pro 2.1 on an old G4 with OS 9.2.2. I still have the tower and keep it soley for accessing these old files, which are fine on that system.
BUT, I would like to access all of these old files from my new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.2. So I am contemplating buying Logic Pro 8, which is the only way to get access to WaveBurner for OS X.
The WaveBurner user Manual that accompanies Logic Pro 8 says on pg. 26:
"You can open old WB 2 (Mac OS 9) documents in WaveBurner 1.5. When opening
such a document, the document format will be converted to the WaveBurner version
1.5 format. When saving this document for the first time, a file selector dialog will be opened, so that the old document will not be overwritten automatically. Once saved in version WB 1.5"
I was excited to read this and decided to test it if is true. I dumped a few of my old OS 9/WB2 files to a flash drive and took them to the Mac Store to try opening them on their station from within WaveBurner 1.5 on OS X. NO LUCK.
Their techs could not figure it out, the system could not recognize the files because they read as Unix, and despite changing the extensions and trying every trick to open the old WB2 files, nothing worked. My old WB2 files were there, but the WaveBurner 1.5 app would not recognize or open them.
OS X also won't open my ".snd" files (which form the tracks for the WB2 mixes), unless I change their extension to ".aiff".
Does anybody know if it is possible to access these old WB2 files in OS X? I assume there must be a way, because the manual says it's possible and I'd like to believe that's true. But I followed their instructions and tried everything I know as well, and nothing works. Am I just missing something?
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. If I cannot get this to work, then I may not buy Logic, since a big motivator for me is to get access to WaveBurner and still be able to work with my old files on my new laptop with OS X.
Thank you!

I upgraded from a G5 dual/Logic 8 to a Mac Mini Server/Logic 9 earlier this year without any problems. There are far too many loops to be able to provide an answer to that particular question, but I would point out that some people have found the odd loops missing from the downloaded content (myself included, although I don't use them much and it wasn't that important to me), so I guess the sensible option would be to back up the ones you use, or back up the whole lot, if that's easier ( if you're not keeping your old machine).

I have an old mpg video file, taken with a very early model "smart phone", that opens and plays fine in my newly "rebuilt" iPhoto library. I cannot open, edit it or share it with any other software. How can I fix it, to be able to do anything with it?

Detail:
I've recently purchaced a 4TB Thunderbolt drive to store my "vast" music and photo libraries. iPhoto had an issue reading the moved library, so I bought and used iPhoto Library Manager to "rebuild" it. Apart from much of the original data such as date taken & camera used etc, it appears to be working well. The aforementioned mpg video was taken some 9 years ago, using an early model "iMate" smart phone, and opens and plays fine on iPhoto, but I cannot open it with anything else, (I've tried iMovie, VLC players, Wondershare and Handbrake) nor can I share it. I just want to edit it, and share it with family.
Any help would be appreciated...

No - not iMovie, VLC, Wondershare or Handbrake... Quick time starts with a "CONVERTING", then I get
I've looked at the "tell me more" links, tried downloading some of the movie players there. I'm begining to think the file is corrupt.
Thanks for getting back to me again though - appreciate it...

Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. Firefox no longer opens these files correctly (see below).

Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. These files which all use the same name but are saved in a different folder for each eBay auction no longer open correctly -- much of the eBay auction text information shows up for a split second and then disappears -- the area at the top of the saved eBay auction file then collapses -- the original eBay auction photo of the product shows up as well during that split second but disappears when the other auction text disappears. These eBay auction files open correctly when opened using Internet Explorer. In Firefox, Firefox adds some strange information at the end of the file name when it is opened which is not a part of the actual file name itself (i.e. here is the original file name which is the same for whatever ended eBay auction I open: eBayISAPI.dll.htm -- here is the altered file name after Firefox opens it: eBayISAPI.dll_files/eBayISAPI_data/eBayISAPI_002.htm#ht_658wt_1349 -- yes, it is that long -- the last part is slightly different for each separate auction file that I open). None of this happened until recently. The files open this way whether using Firefox 4.0, Firefox 3.6.16, Firefox Safe Mode 3.6.16, and Firefox Safe Mode 4.0.

Here is what I did:
1) In Firefox 4.0, I opened the Bookmarks on the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. I clicked on the Import and Backup menu. I then exported all my bookmarks to the PC's desktop using the default file name BOOKMARKS.HTML.
2) In Firefox, I opened the Add-ons menu under Tools on the Menu Bar. I clicked on the Prnt Scrn key on the top right of the PC's keyboard in order to obtain a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons. I then opened Microsoft Word and pasted the screen shot using the Control V command (Ctrl V). I then saved the Microsoft Word file on the PC's desktop for future reference.
3) I then opened the Control Panel in the Start menu (accessed from the little Windows world globe on the bottom left of the screen -- the operating system is Windows 7).
4) In the Control Panel, I opened Uninstall A Program in the Programs section.
5) I uninstalled Firefox 4.0 clicking on the box "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" in order to remove whatever bug in my Firefox customizations was causing the two errors above (this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART of this whole process which is why I saved all my bookmarks as an HTML file and saved a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons).
6) I then reinstalled my old Firefox 3.6.16 version obtained from the following link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html (I am not yet in favor of using Firefox 4.0 -- you suppose you can reinstall Firefox 4.0 on your system if you want).
7) After Firefox 3.6.16 was reinstalled, I had to import all my old bookmarks. Under Bookmarks on the Firefox Menu Bar at the top of the screen, I clicked on Organize Bookmarks. I then clicked on the Import and Backup menu and then the Import HTML command in order the BOOKMARKS.HTML file saved on the PC's desktop.
8) I then re-added all my favorite Firefox add-ons by clicking on Add-ons under the Firefox Tools menu and then clicking on the Get Add-ons command. I then searched for all the old add-ons I wanted to re-add to Firefox using the Microsoft Word document on the PC's desktop saved with the screen shot of all the old Firefox add-ons on my system by I uninstalled Firefox 4.0.
9) I then opened one of the old eBay auction page files saved on my hard drive under the eBay default file name "eBayISAPI.dll.htm". The file opened perfectly with NO missing sections and no missing original eBay auction listing photo! the file looked exactly like it did as if I was logged into eBay and looking at the original ended auction.
10) I then opened Hotmail in Firefox and received NO "update your browser" message! I was able to open all my old emails and write and send new emails (with all my Contacts being automatically detected when I went to type in the email address of the person I was sending the new email to)!
In summary, you need to uninstall Firefox 4.0 being sure to click on the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" box during the uninstall process. Be sure to save/export all your old bookmarks before the uninstall process and make a note of all your old add-ons. Then reinstall whatever version of Firefox you are comfortable with. Apparently, my Firefox customizations had become corrupted at some point; removing the Firefox customizations during the uninstall process allowed any future Firefox version installed on my PC to start over with a clean slate (these corrupted settings would show up in whatever version of Firefox I had installed on my PC so removing them during the uninstall process was the key to solving all my Firefox bugs). I hope my suggestions help to solve your problem and good luck!

Opening old Quark Xpress files on a newer Mac

The non profit I used to work for has lost it's PDFS of our old newsletter, which they want to re-post on their website. It seems our only option is to make new ones, but the files used in their creation all date between 1997-2003--most of them are Quark 4 for OS 9 (plus the associated images created in versions of photoshop or illustrator that date to that period) because at the time I was not using an OS X enabled Mac. 1) is this the right place to ask this question; might i be better off inquiring on another forum, 2) Aside from potential problems opening files created in an OS 9 environment, might their be additional complications were we to try and do this on an intel machine? (I know little about how various SW applications handle backwards compatibility) 3) any suggestions on how best to go about this? I recall whenever I ran Quark in classic mode on my Ibook there were always font issues. 4) any pitfalls I might not be anticipating? 5) Might the best option be to find on old G4 running OS 9 in native mode loaded with Quark and the fonts we need (I have one, but it's not working. Not sure what's wrong)

I'm a bit out of practice; I did this stuff years ago. So you're saying you could use the old font files for Mac OS 8-9 with Mac OS X?

Can't open old appleworks/clarisworks files

I have just purchased the new intel iMac and cannot open my old clarisworks/appleworks 5 files properly. I imported them from my old 333 MHz/OS 9.2.2 iMac using a jump drive. Is my best option to try MacLink? I will be purchasing MS Word also but have found that some of the old files will not format properly when I try to open them in the trial version of Word which came with the new computer. The text files are fine when I open them in Word but anything like tables, charts is a formatted mess. I did use MacLink on my old iMac and found it worked well but it is a bit more expensive now than when I bought it before ($20) .

Thank you Peggy and Barry. I never realized that the jump drives were formatted to Windows or Mac but I am really new at some of these advances in file transfer as well as just about everything else in Apple Computer land. However, regarding the jump drive which I used to transfer the old files: it is a Lexar Jump Drive 2 GB, USB 2.0 Flash Drive. The installation notes indicate that it is for "Windows 2000/Me/XP and Mac OS 9.0 or Higher. No driver installation required. Plug the JumpDrive into the USB port on your computer and it's ready for use." That would indicate to me that this is probably not the problem. As I indicated before, the old files which are straight text which were created in AW 5 or perhaps even earlier versions and/or Clarisworks open perfectly, properly formatted, etc. when I drag them onto the trial version of Microsoft Word located on the dock of my new computer. My problem is with charts created in the word processor and spreadsheets which display as garbage when I drag them onto MS Word. Regarding the ethernet option, I would think that I still would have the same problem since I have no appropriate program on my new computer to open those old files - the trial version of MS Word isn't doing it for all the files. There are no firewire ports on my old iMac so that is not an option. I have come to the conclusion that Peggy's suggestion of purchasing AW 6.2.4 at the very reasonable price of $24.99 from Hardcore Mac sounds like the most promising option since I would then have an application on my new computer which should open the old files assuming that it does recognize the old AW created files (I believe that some of them were created in versions earlier than AW 5). I am assuming that the intel processor in my new computer isn't going to be a problem with AW 6.2.4. So I'm ready to purchase this program. Does this sound like the most reasonable course of action to follow? Thanks again for your help.

Multiple files now open in addition to what I want.

Hey all,
I installed Lion when it came out (running MBP 2.2Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) and now I have a strange (and annoying) issue.
When I click on a file to open (whether its a picture through preview, file in powerpoint or sheet in excel) several files open in addition to the one selected. Files that I never wanted open now do so automatically which as you might imagine slows everything down. I have gone through and tried to find what magical setting is making this happen but I can't figure it out.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Any thoughts on correcting the

Just close them before quitting.
The expectation in Lion is that applications remember their state, so when they're reopened, they restore to their previous state, with whatever windows/documents/etc. that were open before it quit.
So if you open 10 documents in, say, Preview, then quit and relaunch, those same 10 documents will reopen.
This contrasts to previous OS versions where relaunching would start off fresh and you'd need to reopen those 10 documents if you wanted them.
So, your solution should be as simple as closing the unneeded/wanted documents before quitting the app.
If that doesn't work something else is amiss, but that's the likliest solution.

I want to have a progress bar monitor and display the progress of a file being opened, How do I do it?

I have written large files for a report. When I open the files in the VI by pushing a button I want to view the progress of the file being opened. My first thought was to get the file size, some how measure the number of bytes comming out and monitor it on the progress bar. I am unsure about how to do this. If you know of a better way to monitor and disply the progress of an opeing file please let me know.

If I understand you correct the progress bar is not the problem, it's to get a numeric value indicating the progress...right?
If so then you could read the file size, preallocate a byte array to hold the file, then read it in chunks and put the chunks into the array using replace array elements...(you could concatinate strings, but that would easily become very memory and speed expensive...)until you have read the entire file. If the file is 20 MB and you want the progress bar to have a resolution of about 1% read it in chunks of 256 KB...For each chunk read, increment the progress bar...

My slideshow is built with PSE 7 (32 bits)(file : *.psess). I want open it with my new PSE 13 (64bits)
Is this possible ? How ?

Let's go step by step through that second set of instructions. Here are screen shots of what happens when I move a catalog named "Test" that's starting out in the location Catalogs Accessible By All Users (after doing the first set of instructions). If you don't see similar screens, perhaps you can describe exactly where it goes different.
After doing File > Catalog, the Catalog Manager window looks like:
After step 1. Select Custom Location:
After step 2. Click the Browse button and select the destination location for the catalog. I'm selecting an external drive G:
After clicking the OK button:
Note that it now says G:\ underneat Custom Location.
After step 3. Select the current location of the catalog: All Users:
Note that you also need to click on the catalog name ("Test" here) to allow the Move button to be clicked.
After step 4. Click the Move button:
After step 5. Select Custom Location:
After step 6. Click OK:
The catalog Test is now in the custom location G:\.

I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made & opening as read only for the 2nd person - but allowing them to save the file.

1) I am having trouble with an excel file wanting to save when no changes were made. As soon as you open the file and exit. It prompts for a save.
All excel versions are 15.0.4701.1002.
Using a table.
the functions CELL, OFFSET, TODAY, INDIRECT, NOW, INFO and RAND are not being used.
2) Same file. 2nd person is being told they are opening the file as read only - but when they are quitting excel prompts them to save the file.
Everything was working fine. I started having problems with Excel, IT wiped my version out and re-installed office.
File is on networked server HP - Windows Server 2012 Essentials.
We are all on Windows 8.1 Pro.
I really hope someone can help - the excel expert had no answer - and passed me along to here.

I copied the whole file and started deleting worksheets one at a time and testing it by closing it and re-opening it then closing it again – to see if it wanted to save.
Once all the pivot tables were deleted – the problem went away.
I found that some of the pivot tables had automatic refresh upon open, so this caused the excel to think data had changed.
It is fixed now. By clicking on one cell of the pivot table, analyze, options, data and uncheck the 3<sup>rd</sup> square down to not automatically refresh. NOT A NETWORK ISSUE.

HT1473 How do you get old RealPlayer files to open in iTunes?

I've been using Real Player as my main audio player and recently switched to iTunes. I cannot get iTunes to recognize and play any of my RealPlayer audio files. When I try to 'add files' it will not let me access anything past the Music folder.

As I know, iTunes supports M4A format the best. And this format is also developed by Apple Inc. If you do want to play your old realplayer mp3 files on iTunes, you'd better use some audio converter to make a simple conversion. If you don't mind, i've used a helpful one, and you can download it to have a try. This converter supports batch converting. iOrgSoftVideo Converter. Actually it's an audio & video converter.
I do wish it can help.
