Translating ClarisWorks 4 documents to Appleworks in iMac Intel computer

Peggy and Dennis' answers to my question of March 23 has told me that AppleWorks can be used on the iMac Intel Duo Core. My question: If I purchase a current AW, will AW, operating on my new iMac Intel translate my ClarisWorks 4 documents (created on a PowerMac G3 with OS 8.6)? Or, do I need some other translators? (I have read the Sunshine dialogue.) I have word processing and database files. The database files I have moved to the iMac appear as dark icons.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, AppleWorks 6.2.4 will work & it will open ClarisWorks 4 or earlier files. AW 6.2.9 had something "break" in the update & it may or may not open these files. Also, drag & drop in tables broke, but that just would require copy or cut & paste of the data.
Since Pages will only open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents, you'll want to keep AppleWorks 6 to use any other kind of Claris/AppleWorks documents. I have found that inline objects don't translate to Pages, but floating ones do. Pages 2 now supports the importing of floating spreadsheet frames in AppleWorks 6 word processing documents.
Once you get all of your ClarisWorks documents updated to AppleWorks 6, I suggest updating to AppleWorks 6.2.9. One big advantage 6.2.9 has is that it supports scrolling mice.

  • AppleWorks-Education iMac (intel) - Network use doesn't work

    We have an Xserve where all the students have their home folders. They log onto the Xserve in order to do anything. Worked great last year with our eMacs running 10.3.9. This year we have 42 new Intel Imacs(Education) and when you use Appleworks (lately the paint program) about 1/3 of the class stares at the spinning beachball. It usually happens when they save. I haven't been able to totally pinpoint at this time. It is very frustrating and AW worked perfectly before we upgraded to the new computers. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
    I remember Steve Jobs telling us at the keynote that your apps will run fine under Rosetta... Hmmmm
    On another note, we are a middle school and use Appleworks mainly for the paint program. Does anyone know of a simple paint program that is universal?

    1. Does this FAQ help?
    2. Try using Symmetrical Designer; there are some other options if it doesn't do what you want.

  • HT1379 I have a DVD that won't eject in my iMac intel computer..any suggestions

    I put a DVD in mi imac to burn, but now it won't eject, tried a variety of things,but no luck..any ideas?

    Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
    First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
    If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
    Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
    If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
    Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
    Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
    Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
    Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
    If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

  • What audio interfaces are compatible with the iMac/Intel computer?

    I see that MOTU has Intel-compatible drivers for its high-end audio interfaces. Are there any other audio interfaces--USB or Firewire--that are at present compatible with the Intel Duo Core machines that are under $300? I've checked with Tascam and Presonus, and theirs are not yet compatible. I have an inquiry in to M-Audio, but haven't heard back yet.
    PS: Does anyone else think it is just a teensy bit dishonest of Apple to be selling audio interfaces in its online store without pointing out explicitly that they don't work on the Intel machines?

    Well, it looks like M-Audio's Firewire Solo has a beta driver available for the Duo Core. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. And it's well under $200 at a couple online stores.

  • AppleWorks on a New iMac Intel

    Hi there,
    I have a new iMac Intel computer. I purchased iWork with it; however, as I have many spreadsheets (Excel) and documents (Word) on a Windows XP computer I want to be able to bring them over to and work on them on the iMac. I want to keep the iMac as clean as possible and am not sure I want to use the Office for Mac that came with a 30-day trial. What I'm wondering about is whether the AppleWorks or iWork (2006) will allow me to update my existing Word documents. What might I lose? Eventually I'd like to move all my documents, spreadsheets and databases from Windows XP to Mac. I'd like to keep applications that I install on my iMac as native ones if and where possible.
    I assume that I should have no problem installing AppleWorks 6 on the iMac Intel system?
    Getting back to the databases, created using Access 2003, will they successfully come across to AppleWorks? Should I use an intermediate step of putting them into Excel first? Also, I have many MS Publisher 2003 files. Any likelihood that AppleWorks can open and edit these?
    One last thing. I see that Pages will let me create greeting cards (invitations). How good is AppleWorks with these?
    Thanks so much for suggestions and opinions. I am enjoying my new iMac immensely...

    iMac Dual Intel 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1 GB RAM, NetGear Router

    Hi there,
    I have a new iMac Intel computer.
    Welcome to the Mac community.
    I purchased iWork
    with it; however, as I have many spreadsheets (Excel)
    and documents (Word) on a Windows XP computer I want
    to be able to bring them over to and work on them on
    the iMac. I want to keep the iMac as clean as
    possible and am not sure I want to use the Office for
    Mac that came with a 30-day trial. What I'm
    wondering about is whether the AppleWorks or iWork
    (2006) will allow me to update my existing Word
    documents. What might I lose? Eventually I'd like
    to move all my documents, spreadsheets and databases
    from Windows XP to Mac.
    No application opens or saves Office files as well as Office does. Every other application that can handle Office has varying degrees of difficulty with the Office format. This is because Microsoft haven't made the file format for Office documents open and free.
    Here's my list of programs that handle Office files, from the least effective to the most effective:
    TextEdit (only does basic Word documents, think of it as WordPad on Windows)
    AppleWorks (Poor in that content is translated but formatting is often lost. Only translates Word and Excel documents)
    iWork '06 - Pages & Keynote (good to very good with Word and PowerPoint files, but not Excel)
    NeoOffice/J or OpenOffice 2 (opens all types but Access, about 90% perfect)
    Microsoft Office for Mac (mostly perfect, but doesn't include Access - it's not available for the Mac)
    If you have to regularly swap documents with MS Office using friends, or use Office at work, then your only practical options are NeoOffice/J, OpenOffice 2, or Office for Mac. Pages is close but not good enough to replace Word when you're receiving all types of Word documents daily. NB NeoOffice/J or OpenOffice 2 are variations of the same program.
    I'd like to keep
    applications that I install on my iMac as native ones
    if and where possible.
    TextEdit and Pages are the only native (aka Universal Binary) programs in this list. AppleWorks will never be as it is gradually being replaced by iWork. The next release of Office for Mac (late this year?) will be native. And I believe NeoOffice/J or OpenOffice 2 will both be native at some point.
    I assume that I should have no problem installing
    AppleWorks 6 on the iMac Intel system?
    You won't have a problem. It's not native, but it runs just as well as it does on a PowerPC based Mac.
    Getting back to the databases, created using Access
    2003, will they successfully come across to
    AppleWorks? Should I use an intermediate step of
    putting them into Excel first?
    The answer to these questions is Yes and No respectively. But the long answer is that there are two issues in this question: file format and database type.
    Firstly, data can be exported from any database to another by using a common file format. Almost all databases will import/export CSV and TSV formatted files. That is, files whose values are separated by a comma, and files whose values are separated by a tab. eg A CSV file looks like this:
    val1, val2, val3
    val4, val5, val6
    AppleWorks prefers TSV. So you can export the data from Access as a TSV file and open it in AppleWorks. NB The Access database's user interface can not be opened by AppleWorks.
    Secondly, Access is a relational database, but AppleWorks is a flat-file database. This means that AppleWorks can only create one table. If you only have 1 table in your Access database then you're good to go. But if you've been using Access as a relational database containing many tables then you can't use AppleWorks and should look at FileMaker Pro, 4D, etc.
    Also, I have many MS Publisher 2003 files.
    Any likelihood that AppleWorks
    can open and edit these?
    No can do. Hardly any program, PC or Mac based opens Publisher files. Your best bet is to either continue using Publisher on the PC, save the Publisher files into a Word format and use them like that on the Mac, or save the Publisher files as a huge image (eg gif) and import them into any Mac program.
    One last thing. I see that Pages will let me create
    greeting cards (invitations). How good is AppleWorks
    with these?
    AppleWorks is fine for cards, invitations, etc. It has a few templates for these as well. These are best created in AppleWorks' drawing module. But both Pages and other speciality programs like Print Shop do these better.
    Thanks so much for suggestions and opinions. I am
    enjoying my new iMac immensely...
    Be sure to ask us if you have any other questions about AppleWorks.
    Cheers.

  • My imac intel won't install the installation cds correctly.

    I have the white imac intel computer and I tried to reinstall the installation cds that came with the mac because my computer for whatever reason started going slower and slower. The thing is when I tried to reinstall the cds, the first cd did not install correctly. For some reason the first cd counted down the time from 64 hours, it took two days and when it was finished I got a black screen and a lot of error messages. Something about the DNS server, the airport driver isn't installed, and something about the local?. Everytime I try to install the first cd it want start up and it tells me to install the second cd and when I try to install the second cd it won't install. The blue line only goes so far and then it just hangs there and I get more error messages. Is there a way to reinstall the first cd to correct the problems without the computer telling me to take the first cd out and insert the second cd? Or is there something I can do to fix my imac so it will work again?

  • Converting Appleworks 6.2.3 documents created on an iMac OS 9.0.4. to Pages on my new MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3.

    I have many Appleworks 6.2.3 documents created on an iMac OS 9.0.4.  I want to convert these files to Pages on my new MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3. so I can share the documents with newer computers that use Microsoft Word.  How do I do this?  Pages can't read my Appleworks documents.  When I try to open the older document with Pages, the window says, "The document “Name” couldn’t be opened."   These older documents show up on my new computer as Unix Executable Files. Any help would be appreciated.

  • After installing to iOS 5 on my Mac Book, is there anyway to retrieve MS Office documents or Appleworks documents?

    After installing to iOS 5 on my Mac Book, is there anyway to retrieve MS Office documents or Appleworks documents?

    I understand that much.  On my MAC Mini, if you look above at original post, I CAN see both OS while in the Windows 7 partition or the MAC OS.  This is NOT the case on my iMac.  Again, when in the MAC OS I can see the windows partion and move information between the two that way.  When in the WINDOWS partition, the only one that shows is the Windows OS from my computer or network.  The only way you can tell its even a MAC is the bootcamp icon in the bottom right corner of toolbar.  Both have same version of MAC OS so both should work same way..  When i double click on my computer, it should show both the Windows drive AND the MAC (as does my mini and another iMac 21.5 that i have).  This iMac does not do that - only shows windows.

  • Still have documents in AppleWorks

    I still have documents in AppleWorks format.  After downloading and installing Lion, I am unable to open my AppleWorks documents.  Instead I receive a message, "You can't open the application AppleWorks 6 because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."  Is there any way I can retrieve the info in these documents?  I do have iWork '09 installed.  Please help.

    You can't open the AppleWorks 6 application but the iWork applications - Keynote, Pages & Numbers - can open AppleWorks 6 presentation, word processing & spreadsheet documents, respectively.
    They will not open any other type of AppleWorks 6 files or any AppleWorks 5 or any version of ClarisWorks files. So if you have any of these files you will need a Mac running Snow Leopard or earlier to open them.

  • I have an iMac(Intel) Desktop computer.  I cannot print anything as it is telling me that it is "offline" How do I start it working again?  My Lexmark Printer is in working order as I have just photocopied a document successfully.

    I have an iMac (Intel) Desktop computer.   It will not send a message to my Lexmark printer because it says  "offline".   My Lexmark printer is in working order as I have just successfully photocopied a document on it. 

    That message means that the computer cannot see the printer on its network.
    Is the printer directly connected to the computer with a USB cable, or is it a network printer (either wireless, or wired to the router with an Ethernet cable)?

  • I need to work on documents in both my iMac and air book. But I have to download document and them upload it, and when I upload it I can't open it unless I open it on my phone first. Yet changes made on phone appear straight away. Does this make sense????

    I need to work on documents in both my iMac and air book. But I have to download document and them upload it, and when I upload it I can't open it unless I open it on my phone first. Yet changes made on phone appear straight away. Does this make sense????

    On your Macs open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Documents & Data, then reselect that box then restart your Macs.
    On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Documents & Data off then back on then reset the iPhone.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    See if you can open the files now without opening on the iPhone first.

  • Translation date from document date instead of posting date

    I have a requirement to set automatically Translation date from Document Date instead of Posting Date as usual in SAP.
    My company code hasnu2019t got neither 2nd local currency nor 3rd local currency.
    As usual, when posting transactions in foreign currency, translation date is derived from posting date.
    I would like to know if is possible to set that translation date would be derived from document date. As I said before, because of the company code only has one currency defined, is not possible to change it in OB22.
    Thanks a lot

    Has anyone ever tried to change the Translation date on the FI documents generated by F.05 (FBB1). I am having this requirement at one of the clients I am working on. I need to substitute the document date in the translation date field. I tried using substitution through GGB1 (OBBH) and also I tried using the BADI - FI_TRANS_DATE_DER, but none of the two options work.
    Is there any other option to do it or did anyone had any success in doing this????
    Appreciate all the responses.
    thanks in advance.

  • Unable to open or create/save documents in appleworks

    Whenever I try to:
    open an existing document or
    create and save a new document
    in appleworks, I get the message "The file is locked or already in use."
    Help please! My system is effectively unusable.
    I've been creating new documents by using mail to create a new message and saving as draft.
    I suppose I could look at existing files using Terminal.
    But the above are big workarounds.
    What's happening?
    I tried restarting the system, but that didn't help.

    Well, technically AppleWorks is not supported by Apple using Leopard.
    This thread says it can still work though and other users here have had limited success. There's usually something not working right.
    Look thru these googled topics. You might find something you can use.
