Why won't Lion open my apple works documents?

Actually I think I know why-- they want me to buy something wlse. I'm sure many others are coming to the same revelation. I just bought a new Mac Mini (Lion) after 6+ years on Tiger-- upgraded to 10.4.11. After importing all my data I find that I can't access my .cwk files, nor my .ppt files that I was running with MS Word for Mac. I did a lot of poster art work on the Drawing panels of Apple Works as well. They seem to make quite a deal out of the "Font Book App, but just where am I supposed to use it? Don't get me started..........

Lion does not support PPC apps. It is a good idea to check compatibility before any upgrade.

  • Why won't files open in Camera Raw from Bridge?

    I am trying to open files in Camera raw from Bridge but get the following message.
    "Bridge's parent application is not active."
    Both Bridge and CS5 are open and I have opened camera raw previously.
    Any suggestions.
    Cheers

    Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

    The video shows replacing a current DLL file with one from last year - the key issue being that the files found in the Bridge and Photoshop folders are DIFFERENT. Why would this be?  I checked a PS CS5.1 installation myself and the files are already the same. Is there an illegitimate copy of Photoshop being used or something, causing these files to differ? -Noel

  • Why won't files open or save in email

    I have been trying to open some important files that were emailed and they won't open.  I am getting the blue and white pop up asking if I want to open or save and it won't let me do either.  It did this the other day and somehow I finally got it open after shutting down the computer.  Tried that this time and it won't work.  Tried uninstalling and reinstalling adobe.  It did not work.  There is also an online website I use to complete and upload PDF file documents and it won't work either.  What has happened?  How do I fix?

    Ah this is just because I haven't fully updated my bridge yet, but the solution still works fine

  • Why won't files open in the space that the application is assigned to?

    I have applications assigned to specific spaces, however, if I am in space 2 and I click to open an Adobe Illustrator (assiged to space 3) file, spaces will send me to space 3 but the file window will open in space 2 (where I was). I have to use F8 to view the spaces and drag it over to the assigend sapce. If i try to work on it in spaces 2 (where it opened) my pallets are blank. Any ideas?

  • HT4145 why won't my old airport express work?

    why won't my old airport express work?

    Not sure what you mean by "won't work".
    Won't turn on at all?
    Won't allow configuration changes?
    What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express?
    If you could provide the Model No of the old Express.....look on the side of the Express for this.....it will be something like "A x x x x"
    and
    If you could provide the version of AirPort Utility that you are using.....open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About AirPort Utility to locate the version number
    We can probably help

  • Why won't iPad sink to apple tv unless they are both turned off and on?

    Why won't iPad sink with apple tv unless they are both reset each time?

    Rudegar,
    Our network is very stable and we aren't seeing any problems with anything else and besides, these worked fine until we did the update.
    The wifi access point is in the same room about 6-8 ft. away and it's kind of hard to connect an appletv by ethernet to an iPad. 
    The appletv runs fine using it's built in applications, like Netflix, Disney, Radio, etc.
    All of this makes me think it's not a wireless problem, but it's something in the appletv software after doing the update that won't hold the iPad connection.
    I appreciate your suggestions and will pass your information along to our network person.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    Why won't my mac internal microphone work?

    I just found and removed a small piece of sticky tape which was covering the mic. The mic is on the top surface of a mac - you can only just see a lighter coloured small round circle in line with the camera on the top narrow surface. My problem was sorted despite all other help and just before I gave up.  Check no-one has posted a sticky message, camera cover or even an ornament over your mic. How many folk know where the mic is?

  • Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3

    As said in the title Why won't the Avatar Interactive Desktop work on Windows xp SP3. I have tried everything (uninstalling AIR, reinsalling it etc) I can think of but nothing makes it work. This image shows what I get in return every time I try to install the app. My PC meets all requirements to run Adobe AIR. Why is this occuring? I have the current version of AIR.  

    Hi oxide9999999999,
    For the moment, you have to install the version of AIR linked from their site: http://www.avatarmovie.com/desktop/index.html
    Hope this helps,

    Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
    To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.
