What application will translate Appleworks (.cwk). I'm using 10.8.X

Just upgraded to the latest OS and Appleworks is not supported. How do I translate all of my .cwk documents?
Also, is there an easy to use word processing application similar to Appleworks that will work with 10.8.2?

  • What program will translate appleworks database files

    Years ago I created a simple database in Clarisworks. The appleworks was able to concert this no problem. No I'm on system 7 and I need to access this DB. Is there a program that will convert this properly?

    Hi, Bobby;
    First: Do you still have the platform that you wrote the CW DB (ClarisWorks Database) on? Is it a Mac program?
    Second: If the original database is still available on a current running Mac, you can export the data (tab-delimited) to a generic database file (see your list of available formats in your Save as… options from the original database.
    Third: Review the fields and sequences of your original data and be sure you are ready to import the orginal data into the new database in the exact sequence as exported.
    For more help, review all your old CW manuals for help in this laborious process.
    Fourth: If you are able to print out the old database, that's a great head start to reviewing the data and the layout and sequences, and to perhaps re-doing it from scratch in a revised manner.
    Just a few ideas;

  • What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive?

    What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive? I recently purchased an external disc drive and when testing it discovered that it only played the audio of the DVD, not the video.  Very frustrated.

    Are you referrring to a commercial DVD movie, or a disk with digital movies, such as mpeg files?

  • Synch Centro Palm 4.2 with IBM Lotus Notes R8. What application will do this synch?

    Please,
    What aplication or conduit can I get to synchronize my Centro/Palm OS 4.2 with IBM Lotus Notes Release 8?   I use to use Easysynch but that doesn't work anymore.  Your help is appreciated.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    I got the synch working with Lotus R8 using Easysynch.  After installing Lotus R8, I had to unintall Palm and Easysynch and then reinstall them in order 1) Palm first, 2) Easysynch second.  Then I had to do a ONEWAY synch so I selcted Palm to computer.  I wish I had done a synch prior to installing Lotus R8.  I did lose a litte data, but no biggy.   My calendar and contacts synchronize with Lotus thru Easysynch followed by everything else synchronizing with PalmDesk.  do NOT synch email.  So it is working again.

  • What application will open chat.dbs in a readable format?

    i opened it wit text edit and it was gobbledigook.
    thanks,
    mary

    Hi,
    Somewhat like the Saved Chats items (.ichat files) when they are opened in text edit they contain a mixture of the info to display the file in any Messages chat window as well as the content of the individual iMessages they contain.
    It can be very difficult to then work though these.
    I tried Xcode with no luck.  It shows as an App that can open them but you get a view similar to when Quick Look cannot mange it (the Blank page).
    I would try something that can open SQL files.

  • Applications will not close.  Have to use Force Quit.  Why?, Applications will not close.  Have to use Force Quit.  Why?

    I notice alot that when I click on app icon in the dock and choose 'Quit', the application does not quit.  I eventually have to go to Force Quit to make it close.  Any idea as to why this happening and how to avoid it?

    Hello,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Does that change anything?

  • What applications come with Leopard DVD?

    I am getting a new laptop and plan on doing a fresh install of Leopard (10.5.6, and then software update to 10.5.8 I guess) for when I give my old one to my sisters. What applications will be on my old laptop after I do the fresh install?

    A "new laptop" can't run Leopard, unless new means to you a used or refurbished Mac released prior to August 28, 2009:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159
    And some won't install 10.5.6 , unless they were released new prior to May 12, 2009, for the prebundled 10.5.6, or December 15, 2008 for the retail 10.5.6.
    See my FAQ* on buying used and refurbished Macs:
    http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
    And check that the applications you want to load are compatible with the operating system that comes with the machine you want to get.
    Also be sure, when you give the machine to one of your sisters, that you have license for both the old and the newer machine for any applications you wish to give to the sister and keep for yourself.

  • Appleworks cwk files will not open in pages or numbers

    I use AppleWorks 6.2.9.  Since my upgrade to 10.6.8 AppleWorks will not permit the settings in any document to be changed with first quitting AppleWorks, removing the plist, restarting AW, and opening the file a second time.  This is annoying.  So, I am looking into moving to Pages and Numbers for my AW word processing and spreadsheet documents.  Pages '09 trail was downloaded from the network and no document selected can be opened by either program.  I simply get a dialog stating "File could not be opened".
    Nor will Pages or Numbers opened these files that were translated into a different format by MacLinkPlus.  Basically Pages and Numbers can not process and .cwk, .doc, or .xls file on my computer. 
    I am looking for solutions.

    I don't have any Appleworks files but Numbers & Pages users manuals say they will import Appleworks 6 files. I can't say why yours will not if they are Appleworks 6 documents.
    I also don't have MacLinkPlus but it might be doing one of two things: saving in a pre-'97 format of Excel or saving with non-standard header information in the file that Numbers does not understand.
    I'm not being of much help so far.  I've been looking all over and haven't found a solution for you. Sorry.

  • What application should I set to open the Data_Viz Carbon Translator files?

    I was looking over the files in my AW application folder. Quite a few say (in Get Info) that they should be opened with a very old OS 9 game application I happen to have. And also the "Kind" is listed as a document for that same game. That's not right. What Application should I select instead? The path to these files is: AppleWorks 6, AppleWorks Essentials, Translators, Data_Viz Carbon, Translators, and then the files. Some examples of these files are AppleWorks SS 5.0, Excel 97, and Word 5.0-Mac Win.
    Thanks! I have no idea how long this has been this way.

    You do not need to open these files directly. They are used by AppleWorks to translate documents from and to other applications, and you can't do anything with them directly. The claim that they can be opened with some game application is simply the Finder not recognizing them and making a wild guess.

  • I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries)

    I bought the Keynote app for my MacBook, but when I open the application and try to install it, I get an error message saying that the application will not work with my MacBook. What gives? And, can I please request a refund? ($19.99 = a week's groceries).
    Thank you for your help! - I did try looking for all available specs about Keynote on the Apple iTunes website, and found nothing that could help me. HELP!

    1
    Close all iWork applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    Reinstall Keynote by logging into the Mac App Store using download / install

  • Pages 4.9 will open Appleworks Documents, but I Pages 5 will not.  What am I missing? or is the software just not as good as 4.9?

    Pages 4.3 will open Appleworks Power PC Documents, but I Pages 5 will not.  What am I missing? or is the software just not as good as 4.3?

    "Some users have reported" is a mild way to put it.  To answer your question "or is the software just not as good as 4.3?" more directly... it's only better in transparency between platforms.  Everything else is pretty gutted.  Dozens of features deleted, as listed occassionally in this long thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5468056?tstart=0
    Oh, one other improvement- it DOES run faster, but then of course it would since it's so much more lightweight.

  • Every time I download a PDF I get a message that says There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close. What does this mean?

    I work on a Power Mac G5 running OSX 10.5.8.
    We recently had to upgrade Java.
    Now every time I download a PDF I get the message "There was a RAISE without a handler. The application will now close."
    I downloads the PDF OK, but then Safari closes and I have to start it back up to get to my email.
    What is the message telling me? It did not do this before we upgraded Java.

    I'm having the same issue. Again, unfortunately. And of course you will find through various searches that it is a reoccurring issue, one that Adobe seems to have failed to acknowledge.
    You can delete your preference files. Same thing. RAISE blah blah crash.
    You can even go and do a restore from an uncorrupted backup from over 4 months ago, and yet it still doesn't solve the problem, thus there is a compatibility issue.
    The program is battling with another program (of which there really is no telling) and therefore crashing the moment you open it. The software itself is clean and uncorrupted, yet somewhere deep within OSX there is a problem that won't allow the software to open.
    The only temporary solution i've found to solve the problem is a clean adobe install. Just delete and uninstall all and any traces of Adobe Acrobat, then reinstall to find a working adobe product. For a small while, at least.
    I've never tried creating a new account, but from what others say it works. Not worth my time though.
    If anyone was wondering I have zero third party plugins. Its straight from Adobe CS4. Pro version.
    Someone above mentioned using the drop down menu in acrobat to reset the software. I can't even do that! The "RAISE" window pops up before that actual software! Its ridiculous!
    Its really quite peeving to know that this issue has been around for years and Adobe seems to just ignore it. I know I don't want to pay for a company that fails to meet their customers needs. This is your problem Adobe, not ours to deal with. Fix It.

    When i try to connect to my yahoo email via the Mail thingy, it will say "user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect even though my yahoo password and user name is correct.
    This is copied from your first post. Am I reading this wrong? Aren't you saying that you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect? That's why I asked another the word apple in the name. I don't use Yahoo mail that may in fact be correct but I'm just checking,
    IF you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect.....
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
