Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

Opening Claris Works-documents with Pages 2.0.2

Hi fellow users,
I've got an iMac with OSX 10.5.5 and I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 as my browser right now. Is there any way I could open my old Claris Works -textdocuments with Pages 2.0.2? If not, then do you know a any other way I could open them?

Thank you both Yvan and dwb. But. The problem is that because I don't have the original Apple Works in my hard disk anymore the AppleWorks 6 Update does not work in my case because it only tells: "The default location required for this install could not be found. This install will be cancelled".
What you got is normal. The updater apply to older intalled AppleWorks 6.
If you need to open your documents, you need AppleWorks 6.
So search a bit on the Net to buy one copy.

Yvan, I'm sorry about the wrong forum, but I really could not find a more suitable one...

How can I open my old Apple Works 6 documents now that I have OS X 10.7.2 and iWork 4.1 (pages '09)

I have a lot of Apple Works 6 documents that I can not open now that I Have OS X 10.7.2 and iWork 4.1 (Pages'09). How can I open and convert those documents. I really need those documents.

Pages '09 (4.1) should have no problem opening your AW6 word processing documents.
You can open an AW6 wp file in Pages by -
• Do a Get Info on the AW6 file, then choose Pages from the Open With pulldown menu. Close the Get Info window, then double-click the AW6 file. If you want to do this to all of them, befoe closing the Get Info window click the "Change all" button just under the previous pulldown menu.
• Start up Pages, use the Open item in the File menu to navigate to and open the AW6 file.
• Drop the AW6 file onto the icon for Pages.

What will open an old Claris Works database file?

I have a MacBookPro with iWorks and OfficeMac (no Access). I've been maintaining a database on my old G3 uwing Claris Works and OS 9.2.2. I copied this database onto my new MacBook from a CD I burned on my G3 so I can continue maintaining it, but I have nothing that will open it.
Will AppleWorks open it, and if so, what version, and where can I get it? I REALLY don't want to do this database over again!
I'm probably at fault for not buying new Macs with new software more frequently.
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions JayPhe
There really isn't any other program that can open a ClarisWorks or AppleWorks database. Once it is open, it could be saved as ASCII or plain text & imported into a spreadsheet.
What version of ClarisWorks did you use when you last saved that database? I'd suggest getting AppleWorks 6 which will run very well on your MacBook Pro, but there is a problem with the most current version, 6.2.9, & opening ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files. It gives an I/O error. There doesn't appear to be a way to predict which files will cause problems. I've had it happen & not happen with all ClarisWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, so a good choice would be AppleWorks 6.2.4. AppleWorks 6.2.4 is the earliest version stable in OS X. AppleWorks 6.2.7 will work, but I always recommend avoiding it it at all possible - very, very, very buggy! Hardcore Mac is selling AppleWorks 6.2.4 for a reasonable price. You also can sometimes find AppleWorks 6 on eBay, but it might be difficult to be sure it's no newer than 6.2.4 and has an OS X-aware installer (AppleWorks 6.2 or later).

HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND MY ENGLISH

Pancenter...
Yes... but I have come across some setups that came with a native SL (and even one Lion!) installation.. that somehow had a corrupted or older Prokit installed for some unknown reason... and given it's a quick fix to try.. I thought I'd mention it..
I frankly don't think it is entirely a Prokit issue itself, but it wouldn't do any harm to try and install v7 just in case it is part of the problem...
+1 on the UAD stuff....
Also, at the time it crashed... according to the logs...the OP was running Ableton Live at the same time, presumably rewired with Logic... so add all that together with UAD plugins... and that's quite a load on the system...
Finally in thread 32 there is a weird exception msg relating to the Trash2 plugin.. that I haven't seen before...
Thread 32:
0   libSystem.B.dylib

That might be nothing... but as i said, I haven't seen that one before and given what else is going on.. it might be involved too... or nothing to do with that at all!

Can't open Project Server 2013 word documents with office 2010 installed

hello forum members,
we having issues opening a word document in a Project Server 2013 . we have Office 2010 on our computers installed.
when I click on a document link, i get a message "The webpage cannot be displayed". the only way to open a document is to right click on link and select "Open".
Does Project Server 2013 require Office 2013 installed? If not, is there a way to open documents in Project Server 2013 without right clicking on links?

Can you open AND EDIT a Microsoft Document with IPages

I know you can open a microsoft document but can you also edit it with ipages?

Sure you can edit it, but you'll be editing a Pages (no 'i') file, a translation of the Word file leaving the original untouched. You can save as or export as Word, but it is worth saving as a Pages file then exporting the final product.
If you want near-perfect translations use one of the free Office clones - NeoOffice, LibreOffice or Open Office - or Microsoft Office. Even then, perfection is not guaranteed.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the screenshots and the information.Would it be possible for you to try the following at your end.
1. Create another folder under C:\ with some Latin Characters such as Ö or ä (as being used in the redirected path for My Documents etc.). Now place any PDF in this folder and try and access the same. Are you able to access it this time?
2. Redirect the My Documents folder to some other path which does not have any Latin character and see if the issue is still reproducible.

hello, the most likely cause is a firewall/security program preventing firefox from accessing the internet. see [[Firewalls]] for information on how to configure them correctly.
also make sure that firefox is set to directly connect to the internet in firefox > options > advanced > network > connection - settings... in there "no proxy" should be selected for normal use cases.
[[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]]

I recently upgraded to a G5 and Logic Pro 8. My previous system was a Power Mac 7200 with Logic Platinum 3.5.3. I can not open the old song files unless they are first saved in Logic 6 or 7. Where do I get a dongle for Logic 7?

eBay or Craigslist would be the only choice.
