Opening appleworks label file in new imac,

My christmas card labels were created in appleworks labels, now there is no way to open the cwk label file in my new imac. I don't have access to my appleworks in my old computer, can someone help!!!

Hi hcz,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Appleworks forum.
Your labels will be in an AppleWorks 6 database file, a file format that can be opened only by AppleWorks 6. There are a couple of routes open to you:
1.
Get a new AppleWorks 6 installation disk and install the application from that.
Cautions: The installer on the disk must be the OS X version. Early versions of AppleWorks 6 contained both the Classic and OS X versions of AppleWorks, but the installer ran only in OS 9 and earlier. Hardcore Mac had installation disks for AppleWorks 6.2.4, with a Mac OS X installer application when I last checked.
2.
Find someone who has AppleWorks 6 installed, and get the labels printed (to labels or to a pdf file, from which you can print) and/or get the file converted to a format which you can open with your current spreadsheet program. Suggested formats would be tab delimited text (.txt) or MS Excel (.xls). The text file can be opened into any text editor, then copied and pasted into pretty much any spreadsheet. Most spreadsheets will also open an Excel formatted file.
If you wish, you may send the file to me. I'll return a pdf, a text file and an excel formatted file, and trash the original. If you choose to do this, you'll find my address by clicking my name (in blue0 to the left of this message. Please place "AppleWorks Labels" in the subject line of your message.
Regards,
Barry

  • Can not open .pages file on new iMac Mavericks

    Cannot open a .pages file on 2014 iMac with Mavericks. Pages v 5.2.2  says there is a newer version but I cannot upgrade Pages either. Thoughts?

    Hi katmcg,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that situations that keep you from opening documents can be very frustrating. The new version of Pages that is being referred to is Pages 5.5 and is available with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

  • Will any Lion compatible application open AppleWorks paint files?

    Is there any available application open AppleWorks paint files?
    Better yet, any Lion compatible application that will do so.

    I've been saving my completed AppleWorks Draw documents for a long time by copying them into Preview and saving from there, but, of course, you lose the ability to edit them then.
    A bit off-topic, but I've found that you can't copy/paste an AppleWorks Paint document directly into Preview in Snow Leopard (as you could in previous versions of the OS). You need to paste it into an AppleWorks Draw document first, and then you can copy it from there, go to Preview, and use Command +n to make a new Preview document from the clipboard which then can be saved in the image format you prefer.
    Until something that truly replaces AppleWorks comes along, I'm stuck in Snow Leopard, I'm afraid.
    I'm just not willing to "make do" with several different applications that don't do as much as AppleWorks does as easily as AppleWorks does it.
    Progress … isn't always.

  • How can I transfer older Claris Works and AppleWorks files to new iMac.  I use Pages, and MacWord, Excel, etc. as well.

    March 20, 2013
    I have a new iMac using Pages and Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. for mac.  I'd like to transfer older ClarisWorks and AppleWorks files to my new computer.  Can this be done?

    Additionally, Numbers can read/open spreadsheets. However, anything done in the drawing/painting part cannot be read by any application - you would have to export those (on the old machine) as a .jpg or pdf. You could then open them, but no longer edit or change the content.

  • Really slow to open files on new iMac

    Hi
    I've have a new 3.06Mhz 27" iMac (8gb RAM) at work. It's painfully slow when either opening or saving files - ie something requiring the file dialogue box.
    Adobe CS4 being the worst with Dreamweaver & Photoshop taking between 7 and 10 seconds for the dialogue box to open and with Preview or Firefox it's around 5 seconds. This is really annoying and disruptive to work flow. My 3 yr old iMac at home is way faster...
    Any ideas?
    I regularly repair permissions - I do have an external drive plugged in for Time Machine...

    Hi, as a suggestion I would run Onyx:- http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
    Then I would go the SMC route, you will need to determine the correct SMC procedure for your model.
    I would also check/reset the Startup Disc (System Preferences)
    Did you add the extra RAM or was it factory fitted? Have you run TechTool?
    Are the Apps running via Rosetta?...L

  • Iwork apps won't open any files on new iMac

    just got my new imac. my original iwork purchase was from a CD, so i reinstalled it on the new mac from the original disc, did all the updates, and now can only create new documents. none of the apps will open existing iwork or microsoft documents. it still works on my old computer.
    in numbers, i get the error message "The document - - - could not be opened."
    in pages and keynote, i get the error message "An unexpected error has occurred. Please quit and reopen Keynote."
    since i didn't purchase via the app store, i can't update from there, so i went to apple's site for the latest updates. i believe i'm up to date:
    numbers '09, v 2.3
    pages v 4.3
    keynote v 5.3
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    susan

    update :
    after numerous calls and efforts with apple care, i decided to try purchasing the app directly from the app store (which i was reluctant to do since i already owned the iworks '09 disk). and it worked. so i'm out $40 (didn't buy keynote yet). but at least i have something that works. and i didn't need to reinstall the  OS like the apple care people wanted to try...
    hope this helps others in the same boat.

  • Opening appleworks 6 files on iworks - pages

    Hi all,
    Got a new imac after the sad death of my G5. Have downloaded my copied data held in cloud. I created a a lot of files in appleworks 6 using the drawing facility. All these files end in '.cwk'
    Iworks pages will not open them as they're not a word processing document.. Has anyone any idea of how I can rescue these old appleworks 6 files? Thanks Jenny

    OK.
    I'm familair with AppleWorks' capabilities; use it all the time.
    The problem comes from the formatting used by AW for the various kinds of files it can create, hence my request for clarification.
    AW word processing files can be opened by Pages.
    AW spreadsheets can be opened by Numbers.
    AW presentations can be opened by Keynote.
    Unfortunately, there is no equivalent in iWorks for AW drawing-type documents.
    I just created a simple drawing file in AW (.cwk suffix type) and tried to find something other than AW which could open it. Unfortunately I could not - none of the iWorks modules could open it, and even GraphicConverter could not open it.
    I re-opened the file in AW and re-saved it as a JPEG file via a Save As, and Preview had no problem opening it. Of course, it opened as a static image file; none of the object elements in the original file were addressable as such.
    It looks like for your purposes you will probably need to install AppleWorks 6 on your new machine.
    I installed the version I use in OS X 10.6.7 by simple drag-copying from a drive to which I had copied all the stuff on my G4 running OS 9. It was a new enough version of AW 6 that it was an "application package program" (.app) version, which meant that it includes versions for both OS 9 and OS X. The specific version I have is AppleWorks v. 6.2.9 (which showed as 6.2.8 in OS 9).
    Note that AppleWorks is a PPC program, meaning it is not native to an Intel machine. When I went to run it the first time on my iMac, OS X stated it needed to install Rosetta in order to be able to use that program; I clicked OK and it did that. The importance of this is that AW6 will not run in Lion, since Lion does not support Rosetta.
    As an alternate you could find someone who has AppleWorks 6 available to them. They could take those files and convert them (via a Save As) to JPEG or other format usable by the software you have.
    Note that you can open/create a document in Pages, and then drop a JPEG into it. The Pages wp doc will then contain that picture.

  • Older files on new iMac

    I have an early G5 PowerMac that does not have the Intel chip.  OS 10.4.11. Works also on Classic OS.  I am thinking of upgrading.  I have many Microsoft 2000 Word and Pages files.  Will these files operate on a new iMac with the Intel chip?

    Use this article to determine what applications you need to upgrade:
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Office can be upgraded to Neo Office or OpenOffice for very little money compared to iWork or Microsoft Office. Appleworks has to be exported to Word, Excel, or dBase before any program will open it on an Intel Mac.  The one exception is if you have the crossplatform Appleworks for Mac/Windows CD.  In that event, you can install Windows on your new Mac, and install Appleworks on that.  If you are talking Microsoft Works, the now defunct Dataviz Maclinkplus can convert those to Word before before you move to an Intel Mac.  iWork can export to Microsoft Word and Excel as well before upgrading to Intel Macs.

  • Post-migration Network Issues with opening Appleworks 6 files

    I just switched over from an ancient eMac to the new 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac for my primary computer at work. Ever since I made the switch however when I try to open older Appleworks 6 files I am prompted repeatedly (at least 4 times):
    "Connection failed: The server "SPSP-EMAC" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    It seems like Appleworks is attempting to contact the windows server for SPSP-EMAC (a different eMac on the same network) in order to use the Appleworks 6 program.
    I turned windows sharing back on the SPSP-EMAC and now I have to enter a password for the workgroup (seemingly to connect to the SPSP-EMAC in order to avoid the annoying pop-ups).
    I'm not sure why the iMac requires this connection to SPSP-EMAC in order to run properly especially when Appleworks functions properly when it is not connected (despite of course the annoying repeat popups).
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

  • How can I open AppleWorks 6 files using Pages or Word?

    I am currently running Mac OS X v.10.4.11, but I am turning in my old mac for a new one in about a week. Almost all of my important files are AppleWorks 6 files and my new mac will not have this program since it has been replaced with Pages. I currently have AppleWorks 6, Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac, and Pages 08 on my old mac. I am unsure as to what applications I will have on my new mac (I am a teacher and the macs are school computers so I do not have control over the software), but I think it will have both Word 2008 and Pages 08 or 09. So far I have not had any luck opening my AppleWorks files in Pages or Word. I have been able to copy and paste the AppleWorks files into Pages (they are mostly Draw documents, not simple word processing), but they become an image so I cannot edit the content. I need to be able to edit my documents on my new computer and do not have time to open each AppleWorks file and copy it to Pages anyway. Any suggestions to help me with this compatibility problem?

    AppleWorks will run fine on your new Mac, though if you transfer it from the old one you should delete it from there to stay within the terms of the licence. You would need to copy the Appleworks folder over, not just the application.
    Pages can open Appleworks 6 word processing documents, Numbers can open Appleworks 6 spreadsheets. It's possible to open AW Draw documents in Eazydraw, or in Pages through a workaround. Nothing will open AW Database documents.
    I have written a detailed article going into the process of migrating from Appleworks, including the workaround for Draw>Pages:

  • Can I transfer my iWeb files to new iMac running Yosemite

    I have recently purchased a new iMac running Yosemite 10.10.2. I have a set of iWeb files that I was working on but had not yet published as a website on my old iMac which is running OS X 10.5.8. Is it possible to transfer these files to the new mac? I can't find any iWork or iLife files in the Applications folder on my new mac.

    Yes, you can transfer the files, but you will be unable to open them, because as you have found, new Macs have not shipped with iWeb installed on them for a long time now - iWeb as you may or may not know is very old software now that has not been sold or supported by Apple for at least 3 years.
    The only other way that you will be able to get iWeb onto your new Mac is buy a copy of iLife 11 or iLife 09, both of which contained the final version of iWeb - which is iWeb 09.  You would need to purchase this from Amazon.  You could try an old installation CD that came with your other Mac if you still have it and you could try installing iWeb onto your new iMac from that, but if it does not work, then you'll have to buy a copy of iLife 11 or 09 from Amazon.
    Your other alternatives of course are to find some new web creation software that is supported or you continue to use iWeb on your old Mac and just update and publish your sites from that machine.
    In the end though, it might just be easier to bite the bullet and move onto some new software and re-build you site with that.
    Software that is worth taking a look at is RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.  Then don't forget all the online website builders that you have, that are slightly different, such as WordPress.com, Wix.com and others.
    Other alternatives are then the Content Management Systems such as Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.org.
    I would suggest that you take a look at EverWeb first though - it is very much like the iWeb interface and can do a lot more than iWeb could out of the box, such as contact forms included, SEO included, drop down menus, master pages, support for PayPal with widgets and lots more.
    Take and look and you can download a trial version before you buy.
    There are lots of different options available to you, but ultimately, if you want to continue using iWeb on your new Mac, then you'll have to buy iLife form Amazon.  Time to move on perhaps?!!

    The biggest issue for me has been the lack of an Apple replacement for AppleWorks's Database module. That's the biggest reason I still have an iBook running Tiger (and an intel based iMac still on Leopard)—I'm still using one db file because of the formatting options available in the AW DB. Eventually it's going to fail. With luck, I'll have found a path forward by then. But I doubt I'll blame (or shame) Apple for my delay.
