conversion of old Clarisworks and Appleworks documents

I have old Clarisworks and Appleworks, documents dating back to 2004 are now Unix executable files. How can I access them.  I work currently in Yosemite and that MS Word.

The icon of the "Unix Exécutable" file simply means that OS X doesn't know what app to associate these files, then it will link to the unix shell because the PI is set to their attributes. It doesn't mean they 'changed' as such.

It would have been much easier to migrate these files ages ago: AppleWorks was "killed" by Apple in 2007, and he stopped work on the Lion OS and upward.

It also depends on what type of files you have.

Text documents and spreadsheets stored in AppleWorks 6 should be opened in page numbers and Apple applications, respectively. Before text documents that will probably suffice to be opened in a text editor, such as TextEdit (or the free TextWrangler), and then the cut raw text in the 'noise' that represents the formatting of the AppleWorks. You will be very happy if you can get 5 AppleWorks and ClarisWorks spreadsheets to open in anything - the same for drawings and other types of documents.

Your alternative is to find someone who has a Mac running Snow Leopard, on which they can run AppleWorks 6.2.9, then to open and convert all your documents to other formats. Another option is to use one of the "Classic" Mac emulators, like Sheepshaver, to mimic the environment of Mac OS 9 and run AppleWorks there, then convert all.

Document formats that are not widely used or open standards are prone to become totally useless if you have no application to read. Once an application becomes not supported and requires really old hardware and OS versions, then you must start the migration to a more durable format.

    Original title: Sound Recorder

    If I've understood your problem, try this. Create a shortcut to "soundrecorder /file outputfilename.wav" (without the quotes).

    Then start soundrecorder via this shortcut and start and stop the recording, it will save so (hopefully) as a wav as before.

    I think the problem is, W7 soundrecorder, by default, saves to wma.

    If not, try a 3rd free part program such as Audacity (which seems like overkill, but should do the job).

    I hope this will help.

    Hi sdr2014,

    I'm sorry to hear that your conversion process is at a standstill. It seems that the problem is not specific to a single file, you have been unable to convert anything, since the first four chapters of a correct conversion.

    So, let's try this:

    If you want to convert via the ExportPDF site, please sign out, clear the browser cache, and then reconnect. If you use the drive, please choose Help > updates to ensure that you have installed the latest version.

    Please let us know how it goes.

    Best,

    Hi abgolf3,

    The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

    I'm scanning old 3 and 1/2 by 3 and 1/2 inch of photographs in the Windows Photo Gallery to download in Facebook.  The image is still smaller than the original. Is it possible to enlarge?  I tried to enlarge preview before scanning, but they are too small for that.

    I read through the articles you have listed and tried all the things they mentioned.

    What was most useful in the articles, have been discussions to crop images in part overview before you actually complete the scan.  I then tried pulling handles resizing/cropping right up to the edges of my picture and then scanned. Voila! Who did it!  I got the whole picture, full size-problem solved.  It would be really useful if explained in the directions of scanning to make sure that the edges of calibration were tight around the image/document being scanned-it really makes the tower.  Your info made me think in the game of the mind. Thank you!!! Connie

  • Convert and combine Documents

    I have problems with conversion of working documents and PDF files into a single document. I select three documents two of them are some Word Documents and one is a PDF file. I select all three make a right click on it and click on convert and combine documents. All this is done in the file Explorer. Adobe Acrobat opens and starts the conversion process. He opens the first word document and can be saved in PDF format. After that it just hangs. Nothing else and then if you click on the box of combining files it does not.

    I tried to do a complete removal of Adobe Acrobat and then reinstall it.

    Data sheet:

    Windows 7 Pro x 64

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard - product has a valid serial number attached on.

    Microsoft Office 2016 x 86.

    Hi brandonp54740065,

    Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 7 system requirements Adobe Acrobat and MS Office applications, Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker and compatible web browsers2016. Function may or may not work.

    Open Acrobat 9 & try to combine PDFs from Acrobat itself.

    Kind regards

  • Install new PSE / uninstall old. Question of what's going on with the old Organizer and catalog files. MacOS

    Currently have installed PSE10 and install PSE11 on Mac OS 10.6.8 snow leopard.

    I don't understand how to download and install PSE11 and convert the Organizer.  I intend to leave PSE10 installation in place while I install PSE11 and if all goes well with the conversion would be to uninstall PSE10.

    Currently, organizer of PSE10 records are currently here on my mac:

    / Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Elements/10.0/Organizer

    and

    / Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Elements/10.0/Catalog

    So my question is what happens to the files above when you install PSE11 with PSE10 at the same time?

    When PSE10 is uninstalled using the uninstall program "adobe" deleted these files?  If you want to continue to use just the new PSE11, which is the recommendation about the deletion or to leave these files if they are not removed by the uninstall adobe program?

    Are there any suggestions or things I should know about this process?

    Thanks in advance.

    So my question is what happens to the files above when you install PSE11 with PSE10 at the same time?

    PSE10 and PSE11 can be installed at the same time. They are independent programs.

    PSE11 will install its own catalogues and invites you to "convert" your current PSE11 catalog.

    A new catalog is a new catalog subfolder will be created at the same level as the old catalog.

    If you agree to the conversion, the old catalog (where the name of the folder catalog) will be renamed with the suffix-1. It will work with PSE10 without any intervention on your part.

    The new catalog will acquire the same name as the old catalog.

    You can work with PSE10 or PSE11 with their own catalogues.

    You know if a catalogue record is on version PSE10 or PSE11 when you use catalog for the conversion Manager. You can also watch inside the catalog folder and look at the name of database catalog: catalog.pse10db or catalog.pse11db.

    (Keep in mind that what is modified or updated to date in a catalog is ignored by the other, this is true for the different catalogs in PSE10, the same goes for the catalogs on both versions).

    If you uninstall PSE10, PSE10 catalogues are not changed or deleted. They are still available for the conversion of a later version... or if you want to reinstall PSE10.

    So my question is what happens to the files above when you install PSE11 with PSE10 at the same time?

    When PSE10 is uninstalled using the uninstall program "adobe" deleted these files?  If you want to continue to use just the new PSE11, which is the recommendation about the deletion or to leave these files if they are not removed by the uninstall adobe program?

    The catalog files don't take up much space. As explained above, they can be kept for most conversions. If you have more than one catalog, only the current upgrade time is converted. You must convert the others manually via the button "Catalog Manager".

    For months its been my firefox browser is out of date, saying tour so, today, I finally managed to update but when trying to install it, it removed my old version and when I tried to install the new one it says it was not compatible. So now I have a version that does not work and if I remove I don't have Firefox at all. I stress because everything (100) my favorites where on the old version.

    I tried and tried to find an older version, but either they are either not compatible or the file does not exist. I'm a bit of a technophobe so I know what else to try.
