When I copied AW 6.2.9 from my old imac running OS 10.3.9 (previously 9.2.1) on to the new Mac I experienced trouble, usually after the computer had been up and running other applications. When I tried to launch AW the spinning ball appeared and I had to force quit and restart. Then all is well, until the computer has been on for a time. This also happened at the same time with Text edit, so I thought the computer to be at fault and erased the HD and reinstalled. I have also run repair permissions. I havenot been able to ascertain what combination of applications causes this to happen , has anyone else had this happen, are there any suggestions, or do I have a faulty computer? Thank you.
If you copied over your documents folder, particularly the AppleWorks User Data folder, you copied over lots & lots of recent items aliases. With each update of OS X, AppleWorks 6 is more & more sensitive to the number of aliases in the Recent Items folder. Delete most, if not all, of the aliases & restart AppleWorks. You should see a tremendous improvement.
