Will AppleWorks work with my new iMac?

Hi,
I just purchased a new iMac / 24", 2.8 GHz, CD2, and I was just wondering if my old AppleWorks disc 6.2.9. will work with the new iMac. I am currently running 10.5.6.
Or should I use the new iWork instead?
Any information anyone could provide would be most helpful.
John

Hi John,
AppleWorks will run well on your new iMac.
Whether you should switch completely to iWork depends on what parts of AppleWorks you use.
iWork's biggest deficiency (as noted in Yvan's signature line) is the lack of a database application. If you use AppleWorks's database module, there is nothing in iWork that will replaces it (although iWork '09 does have some list management and merge capabilities). You may also find some difficulty transfering Paint and Draw documents.
Other than that, the change should be pretty easy. iWork applications will open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing (Pages), Spreadsheet (Numbers) and Presentation (Keynote) documents. They will not open AW Draw, Paint or Database documents. Nor will they open any AW documents made with AW 5 or any version of ClarisWorks.
Best route:
-Install AW 6.2.9 on the iMac using the installer disk or by moving the whole AppleWorks 6 folder from one machine to the other. Remember to remove AW from the old machine to stay within the single user terms of your AW licence.
-Download and install the 30 day trial of iWork '09.
-Spend some time over the next 30 days getting familiar with the iWork applications, then make your decision.
Regards,
Barry

I just bought a new iMac and am ready to purchase Logic Pro X, but I have a Presonus Fire Studio Project with a firewire 400 as my connection. Will this work with my new iMac? I purchased the Presonus around 2007.

I just bought a new iMac 10.9 and am wanting to purchase Logic Pro X. My question is I have a 2007 Presonus Fire Studio Project 8 channel input box that hooks up with firewire 400 I believe, will this work with Logic ProX on my new iMac?

You will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter... may also need a Firewire 800 to 400 connector/adapter.
Also need to make sure Presonus has Maverick drivers for the FSP.

HT3669 I have an Epsom 1250 photo scanner that will not work with my new iMac. I get an error report indicating 'scanner ot available' and the indicator light on the scanner goes to red.

When I try to use the scanner I get error message 'scanner not available' and the scanner indicator goes red . I have contacted Epsom who advised me to run System update on my Mac several times which I havedone to no avail. The scanner is in working order as it works satifactorily with my 'Windows' laptop. The scanner is listed as being included in the driver updates but It would appear that the driver on my iMac supplied in any update is not suitable.
I am currently running OSX 10.8.4
What steps should I now persue to be able to use the scanner?
Alan.

Howdy Susiesdad,
I would suggest the troubleshooting steps from this article named Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Don't let the name throw you off, the troubleshooting is relevant for scanners as well.
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
All the best,
Sterling

Will the Google Docs app in the iTunes store work with my new iMac? Description states it works with the iPod, iPhone and iPad.

There's iOS apps for iOS which is what iPods, iPads, and iPhones use. Then there are Mac Apps (which is a different store) which is what run on a computer with OSX.

I am having trouble making TM work with my new iMac.

I'm having trouble making TM work with my new iMac. I have an external drive, Freeagent GoFlex Drive, that is recognized on the desktop and in the drive utility. Time machine just "spins it's wheels" and doesn't seem to transfer any information. I have run repair disk on both drives and repair permissions. Any ideas how I can make this thing work?

Did you format the HD first. It has to be formatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If you're not sure how to do this please read:

Thinking of purchasing an Apple Time Capsule to work with my new iMac. I only want it for general family use. Any comments?

It should work just fine. You can see user reviews on Apple's web site, here is the URL:

External startup disks will not start with my new iMac

My external devices which are startup disks will not start when connected to my iMac, although it appears in the bootable drive selections after the chime sound, using the option (Alt) key. I get the bootable drive selections and when selecting it all I get is a gray screen with the apple logo and that is it. No matter how long I wait the start up does not happen. I am sure that the external device is not damaged because there is no problem to use it as a startup device when connected to my MacBook Pro.
Otherwise the devices work as they should. If I connect them to my iMac then they will appear on the desktop, etc. The only thing which does not work is that they cannot be used as startup disks, even though they work fine as startup disks if connected to my MacBook Pro.

Based on your description it is very hard to tell what is going on.
You appear to have an i7 iMac. That model was delivered with Snow Leopard (10.6.x).
My guess is that your external disks may have a version of OS X that predates the version supplied with your new iMac. You cannot run an earlier version of OS X than what was delivered with your Mac.

What bluetooth speaker will work with the new IMAC 27"?

Is Bose better than JamBox? Can someone recommend one? Is the speaker built into the new IMAC 27" good enough without external speaker?

I would expect the Yosemite list to be about the same as what is well-supported today.
This guy (Mac Gizmo guy) has done some research and lists on his site cameras that work with Macs AND are available on amazon.com.
I believe his recommendations are accurate, BUT -- Full Disclosure: gets some payments from amazon for his service.

DVD Studio Pro no longer works with the new iMac. Solutions?

Disc installations in general don't exist anymore and DVD Studio Pro is no longer supported in the new iMac that we have at our office. I used to have Roxio's Toast Titanium as a backup burner, but even that is not supported past mac OS 10.7. Final Cut X has the option to export straight to DVD but the menu options it gives you is so basic it doesn't even look professional. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they are using now to burn a professional looking DVD. Many thanks

mlaughbaum,
It seems as though you and I are on the same page struggling. Were you able to find any alternatives to DVDSP or any way to continue using it?
On-Site Video
I'm considering myself lucky... Though I was unable to install either DVDSP and FCP v.6 on my new iMac, they are both still working on my older iMac even though it too is running ML. I believe this is because I upgraded to ML from Leopard with both already installed.
My only suggestion would be to install Leopard (or the OS on which they were working for you), install FCP, DVDSP and compressor, and then upgrade to ML. Seems like a silly solution but I have a feeling it would work. I'm not doing it because it's working on the iMac that's closest to my DVD duplicator. That said, if I had to, I believe that's what I'd try.
Really infuriates me. My business depends on DVD sales and there really isn't another cost effective DVD authoring solution for the mac out there.
I do wish you the best of luck and would love to hear if you come up with a better solution.

I have upgraded to the new Firefox but removed it because my DAP premium will not work with the new version. Am I doing something wrong?

DAP Premium seems not to be compatible with the new version

Dear Old Bob..I enjoyed that! I and thanks so much ...I would have done it if I could have done it but I was blocked by Photoshop at every stage! Thankfully my own IT Guru and friend came to the rescue remotely last night and has down-loaded it. But it took him quite a bit of time.
As XP is faded out, there will be an awful lot of people like me complaining.
But truth is my problems are only at a start! About 30 prints (some not yet on my 'blog' (juliamatcham.wordpress.com) all have varying settings which I have noted. Everything depends on these settings.
All are Apple RGB (although my computer is a PC) and they were all set for my printer Epson Photo 1800. Also they were set at varying settings...Standard or Vivid 1.5, 2.5 whatever suited the design.
These settings appear not to exist on CS2 which is a nightmare for me as each print was carefully proofed with a great deal patience and at some expense as in the end one has to use expensive paper even for proofing.
If you have any hints for how to translate these old settings...I would kiss your feet!
Just looking through how things work, I can't understand why I can't change my first printing option to landscape ...everything esle so far seems comprehensible.
I do hate change!
Meanwhile, thanks so much to Curt, Noel, Nahraka and Old Bob for cheering me on. I am obviously going to be back asking more questions about CS2!

My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

I have a brand new iMac 27" with mountain lion, and Doesn't work with my aluminium remote control, I already follow the steps on Help, but there's no IR option on the advanced button of security and privacy. Of course I already check with my iphone dock and the batteries are OK, So I think it's a bug from the OS.
Any thougths?

Thanks mende1.
Apple that, *****!!

A website that i use quite frequently will not work with the newer versions of firefox. Is there a compatability mode of some way to get the newer version to work?

All the website says is this browser is not supported. Only version 3.5 is. I can list the url because it is a work url

You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

Before I downloaded the latest version of Firefox I could us the Norton Idnetity Safe. It will not work with the new version. What do I have to do to make it work?

I am not sure if this is a plugin or extension. All I know is that it worked with the old version of Firefox. It is very important to me to be able to use this feature. Any help would be appreciated.

THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED FOR ME.
When I opened this pop-up to view the settings (File > Page Setup > "Format & Options": Scale ), the Scale value was 40%. Changing it to 100% corrected the issue I observed.
To my knowledge, I have not been inside this pop-up window before to set the Scale option. Could this value be affected by other actions within Firefox? I noticed this while using v12 which was installed 24Apr2012.I know it worked correctly since that installation, so why did the Scale value change?
UPDATE: I just realized that the Scale option in print preview sets the Scale value in the settings. NOTE TO ALL: This is a sticky setting, not just a setting for a specific output request.
