Will appleworks function if I upgrade to os 10.6 or higher?

I am currently using an Imac with OS 10.5.8. I use appleworks quite a bit and have thousands of files created with this program. I have heard that if I upgrade to 10.6 or higher that appleworks will not be supported. I can not afford to lose these files, but yet my current systems puts me at a disadvantage in many other areas (specifically the internet, browsers, etc). Can anyone help with this? I use these files almost everyday for work and I don't want to have to redo them in another application.

Snow Leopard (10.6.x) is a considerable improvement over 10.5 but you will find that it is falling behind and some web sites won't work properly, at least in Safari (FireFox is more up to date and handles them better). It is also apparently not being supported any more. However it will run AppleWorks perfectly well - the last system which will do so.
You might like to look at my article on 'Abandoning AppleWorks' which will give you some pointers for the future including a way of continuing to run AppleWorks on a later system:

  • I still have Appleworks documents that I use occasionally. Will Appleworks "work" if I upgrade to Lion?

    I still have Appleworks documents that i use. If I upgrade to the "Lion" system, I am of the understanding that Appleworks will not be compatible with the new system. Is that correct?

    Yes, AppleWorls is not compatible with OSX Lion and don't run in it.

  • Hi I buying a secondhand I mac 2007 snow leopard 10.6.3 will I be able to upgrade this ? Confused as need to this

    Hi I buying a secondhand I mac 2007 snow leopard 10.6.3 will I be able to upgrade this ? Confused as new to this thanks

    You should certainly update it to 10.6.8 via software update. As for for upgrading, it depends on what Mac it is.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • I need to upgrade Snow Leopard to get icloud before my mobileme expires at the end of June.  If I buy Lion, will I be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion free when it comes out?  When is MLion going to be released in UK?

    I am running Snow Leopard and have a Mobile Me account.  My Mobile Me account expires at the end of June.  I have been told that I will need to buy the Lion upgrade to run icloud on my imac, but I am aware that Lion is due to be replaced by Mountain Lion this summer.  I don't want to have to buy two up grades!  Will Mountain Lion be released before my mobile me account expires?  If not and I buy the Lion upgrade, will I be able to upgrade it to Mountain Lion, free, in view of the fact that I will only have had Lion for a very short time and could not avoid this purchase??????

    HI...
    We have no way of knowing exactly when Mountain Lion will be released. Most likely, if you upgrade to Lion now you'll be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but the actual minimum requirements are unknown at this time.
    Lion is only $29.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees and available from the App Store, or you can purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
    Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

    If that does not work try resetting your iPod:

  • If I buy my Iphone 5 now, will I be able to upgrade it if a new one comes out for free?

    Apple will not provide a free upgrade to any future model.

  • I need to replace my iPhone 4S due to a hardware problem. Will I be offered to upgrade to iPhone 5 for an extra fee?

    Hey everyone. I have an iPhone 4S that needs replacing due to obvious hardware issues (shuts down randomly on its own). I have shown the panic.plist reports that it generates on another forum and they have confirmed the kernel and hardware problem.
    Since replacing it is the only way to go for me, I was wondering whether Apple still offers the option to upgrade to the next model when going to replace a phone with warranty. What I mean is, if I go to an Apple Store and ask to replace my handset for a new one (with my warranty/receipt) will I be offered to upgrade to an iPhone 5 for an additional fee? Can I ask for this option?
    Thanks!

    Apple has NEVER offered this as an option.

  • Itunes will not function correctly

    Itunes will not function properly. I keep getting errors installing and getting itunes to connect with my iphone.

    First of all I hope that you have a good b/u of all your tunes - either on ext HD or on DVD. Don't forget to b/u the iTunes Library and .xml files at the same time.
    Have you tried to reinstall iTunes? Drag the app to the trash and remove the iTunesX.pkg from HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg. Using a fresh .dmg of iTunes 7.2 reinstall.
    Have you repaired permissions with Disk Utility?
    Is your Quicktime up to date? At least version v7.1.5.

    Just make sure you update it to 10.6.8 (the last version of Snow Leopard) once you get it if it isn't running it already. Just go to the  menu and then Software Update. This will give you access to the App Store which is needed to download Yosemite.

  • Hi to All, My wife still has ios 6 on her ipad (she likes the look). I will do the 7.1 upgrade when it is released. Should there be any issues going from 6 directly to 7.1? Thanks!

    Hi to All, My wife still has ios 6 on her ipad (she likes the look). I will do the 7.1 upgrade when it is released. Should there be any issues going from 6 directly to 7.1? Thanks!

    There shouldn't be. I went from iOS5.whatever to iOS6.1 with no issues.
    Just make sure to back everything up before you do it, just in case all doesn't go as planned.
    I always do mine the old fashioned way, download the full OS via iTunes so if you've already got it linked to a computer and been using iTunes to do updates/syncing that's how I'd suggest you do it.
