Since I upgraded to Lion, I cannot access many of my earlier files, that were created on AppleWorks on PowerPC. What can I do? Are they completely lost?

I found the solution: mark your AppleWorks files with .cwk and open them with Pages or Numbers. It works!
Yes, it becoming easier to convert files now that Lion has been out for almost a year, Pages and iWorks in general are becoming the answer for opening a lot of these old files and converting them without having to install complicated hit or miss hacks.
Although as Kappy said, do check what other PPC programs you may need to either update or convert as well. More and more people are realising that the great Lion panic was blown out of proportion, the same as any other OSX ever released and the same as a minority wil react to the upcoming Mountain Lion.
Glad it has all worked out for you so easily.
Happy computing

Then there's nothing you can do. Only the previous owner can help you. They must either provide the ID and password, or erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained in the article you were reading. There's no way around this.

I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

I just downloaded Ilife 9 and now my Iphoto doesn't open. The error message says: You cannot open your library using this version. Quit and use the older version. What can I do?

iLife '09 is not available as a download - it is only available as a purchase
iLife '11 is available as a DVD purchase and the compoments of it are available from the App Store (iPhoto '11 (version 9.1.5), etc)
Exactly what did you do? And exactly what does the error message say?
On the surface it appears that you are attemptying to open a new library with an older version (iPhoto '09 can not open an iPhoto '11 library for example)

I have ExportPDF and now I cannot open any of my PDF files in my documents. Why?

I just signed up for AdobeExportPDF, and now I cannot open any of my existing PDF documents in my files. Why? How can I fix this?

Hi harrisonmr,
ExportPDF is an online service, and there's nothing to download to your desktop, so it shouldn't have affected your PDF files. What happens when you try to open the PDF files? Are you opening them in Reader, or trying to open them in a web browser? I did recently work with another customer on this issue, and it turned out that an update to Firefox had somehow affected the file associations on her computer.
Please provide some specifics about how you're opening the files, what type of system you have (Mac OS or Windows), and what happens when you try to open those files.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Best,
Sara

No matter what I do, I cannot update from 3.?.? to 8.?.? I've tried everything suggested but it will NOT update now I cannot open many new websites

Cannot update Firefox from 3.6.3 to 8.0
I've tried repeatedly to do this but it will not load up.
Now I cannot open new websites.

What happens when you download and run the installer? (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)
Are you really running 3.6.3? You should update to 3.6.24 ASAP - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Your user agent string may just be set incorrectly. See below
* Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
* If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
* Filter = general.useragent.
* Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
* Then restart Firefox

Upgraded Exchange to CU 7, now users cannot open emails in a separate window in webmail (OWA).

Hello,
Strange issue. I upgraded our Exchange 2013 to CU 7 and now users are reporting they cannot open emails in a separate window in OWA. Regardless of browser, browser version even regardless of another computer or mac. Chrome, Firefox, IE, Safari...same
issue regardless of version numbers also.
I've tested these settings on several laptops and I cannot open emails in a separate window. This happened a day after the upgrade. Previously this was working for all users. Now its hit or miss. Not all users are affected however. My mailbox/account is
also a victim so I can test any theories out.
Any suggestions would help and be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please check if there is any error message when these affected users try to open mail in a new window.
Please check if these users can open messages in Outlook. This can help us to narrow the issue.
And please check the aplication log in Exchange server to see if there is events related to this problem, which can help us to troubleshoot the issue.
Best regards,

I upgraded to 4.0 and now I cannot open Mozilla -- I click on the desktop icon and it will not load. How do I fix this?

Until I upgraded to 4.0 I had no trouble with accessing Mozilla.

I too find that Firefox 4 is an absolute memory hog. It takes forever to do anything. I have a small eMachines, one of the last ones to be installed with Windows XP. Firefox 4 seems to assume a volume of memory that simply does not exist on my machine.
Remember when Bill Gates said that 640K was more than anyone would need? I DO!

Now using imovie 11, how to import imovie projects which were created in an earlier version of iMovie?

anyone got a similar situation?

Excellent information from John, to which it may be worth adding that you can of course continue to run iMovie 6 alongside iMovie 11 on your Mac:
Happily this is easily achieved, but it has to be done backwards.
Delete iMovie 11 (just drag it to the trash). Now install iMovie 6 from the iLife 6 install disks. Update it to iMovie 6.0.3.
Now re-install iMovie 11. This automatically moves iMovie 6 into a folder it creates in your Applications folder called iMovie Previous Version.
Then reinstall iMovie 11.
iMovie 6 works great with iDVD 7.
Now you have them both, and you can have both in the Dock as well.

After a Firefox upgrade to version 24.0 yesterday I cannot open my e-mail using webmail on 1and1. Any ideas why mot. I can open it using a different browser.

Webmail starts to open and hangs on 70%. It does this with all my e-mail accounts.

My Ipad dropped off the sofa and now I cannot get the screen to appear - it sometimes shows up bright yellow and green. What can I do to reset? or whatever?

I cannot get the screen to appear - can see if it's on or off. There are times when the screen is bright bright green and yellow then disappears. Can I reset it? if so how?

It will cost you approximately US$219.00 to US$299.00 depending on the model.
Apple will replace the entire iPad; they don't repair.

I ran the update for the newest version of Numbers. Now I cannot open some of my spreadsheets. When I try I get a drop down box that says I need a newer version of Numbers!!!! I have just installed the newest Numbers update. Any suggestions?

I ran the latest Numbers update and now I cannot open several of the Numbers files I created and saved previously. When I try, a box appears that says I need to update to a newer version of Numbers. I ALREADY updated to the newest version!!!! Any suggestions?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you upgraded Numbers to the most recent version, the Mac App Store kept the old version in case you need it in the future. Your problem is that you are opening the old version by mistake instead of the new one.
To fix this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version (the one with the new icon) to the Dock. By doing this, you can access to the new Numbers version easily, so you will not open the old version by mistake anymore. Also, I recommend you to open the documents after opening Numbers. The same applies for all other iWork applications.
If you want, you can remove the old Numbers version, but some users have complained about the lack of features of the new Numbers version. Apple will add more features in the future. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

I upgraded to Lion and now can't print PDF files and Acrobat reader doesn't work anymore. What can I do to get it working?

If you upgraded and were using a version of Acrobat Reader that was legacy, that is PPC compatible, then you will have to upgrade to a version compatible with Lion as Lion no longer has Rosetta to interface with the legacy software.
I know that Acrobat, full version, 10 works with Lion...use it myself.
