I just “upgraded” to Snow Leopard.
Now the ClarisWorks drawing program doesn’t work.
Or as this guy called it, "Essnowwwe Layoparrrrrd."
I also like his pronunciation of "portfolio" ("powrrfowwio"?)
Are you getting a message that says it can't be opened because it's from an unidentified developer? If so...check out this page:
This is for Mountain Lion, but I had the same problem with a couple of application programs when I upgraded to Mavericks, and by using this procedure, I was able to use them again.
All ClarisWorks (AppleWorks) were PowerPC based Apple MacOS 9.2 software applications.
Apple supported Mac MacOS apps for five years beyond the switch to OS X in 2001 with the use of Rosetta Emulation of MacOS 9.2 under OS X on PowerPC. When Apple moved to the Intel processor, for five years, they supported BOTH PowerPC and Intel processors, but with OS X Snow Leopard, Apple finally dropped support for the PowerPC processor and Rosetta Emulation could no longer work, in August of 2009, because it was Intel processor only. Apple gave ample warning these applications would not continue to work.
