Hello All,
I just moved from a 2005 G5 2.7 Daulie to a 2009 MacPro 2.66 Quad Core
and from Leopard to Mountain Lion ... it is taking some adjustment ...
primarily with my older documents in AppleWorks and my mail from
Thunderbird.
Looking for any viable suggestions to help me save and move my older
documents to iWorks9.
Thunderbird is another issue entirely. When I migrated from my old MDD
to the G%, I simply took my emails on a flash drive and put them in the
new Thunderbird file on the G%. I can NOT find that PROFILES file on the
MacPro ... so I am unable to bring my mail with me. Again viable
suggestions.
Miss some of, or have not found how to diminish a window ... double
clicking the top of the window does not work, not having scroll buttons
is sort of a pain ... but I am getting there.
Otherwise it is a fantastic OS and smooooooth! No issues so far ...
fingers crossed.
Help and suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Hello Dan,
I had the same problem- had so many syllabi in Apple Works, I was not
looking forward to exporting so many into iWorks - and I'm just not THAT
fond of Pages yet.
The nice feature about the Mac Pros is how easy it is to add another HD (it
can take 4 - yum!). I found a smallish SATA drive, installed it, made it
bootable into Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and reserved all my AW productivity for
that volume alone, for which A-works still can run with Rosetta installed.
When I'm done, I reboot into Lion (no ML yet) on the main drive and I am
good to go with music work.
Saved me having to find yet another app to contend with.
HTH.
Regards,
Dana

So I will need to get a bootable DVD of 10.6.8 and install it normally
on a small internal drive, transfer all my old Applewotks files to it
and use it as a bootable drive in the preferences.

Hold the option key down while selecting the Go menu to make your Library folder (where the profiles live) visible. This is a new 'feature'.

Yes, or certainly a 10.6 disc, then update it to 10.6.8 via the web.
