I upgraded all of my iWork apps and now I can't open some of my old files.  I get a message that says I need a newer version.  Same for all three iWork apps.

I've checked all of the version numbers, and the latest versions are installed but most of my old files can't be read.  Tried restarting, etc, but nothing works.

Gary,
Thanks.  After posting that problem, I discovered that my upgrade of iWork did not replace my old versions, and some of my links started up the old versions.  When I looked at version numbers, I saw the new ones.  My links now go to the new versions and all seems to be OK.

  • When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

    When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

    Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

  • All of a sudden when i try to attach an iphoto to an email or facebook i get a message that say i need  i photo 5 or later and my pictures are not available

    First I have Mac OSX 10.6.8
    I photo 8.1.2
    All of a sudden when I attempt to download a photo from Iphoto to an email attachment or to facebook, I get a message that says I need to :
    "open Iphoto 5 or later to see photos from your Iphoto library in this list" it shows in light grey.
    AS I mentioned above, I have 8.1.2 and my photos are all available when I go to the photo app.
    I read to delete iphoto from the library which i did but that didn't help and maybe was a mistake? And if it was how do I fix that?
    I have searched the web to no resolve. I also see that I do not have the latest version of iphoto but when I check for updates it says there are none available.
    What happened and how can I fix it! HELP!
    I'm not very computer savvy so I appreciate simple instructions.
    Thank you!

    1. Try reinstall iLIfe 09 from your install disk
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
    If that fails, then you're reinstalling the OS.

  • Recent Pages update isn't recognized on my MacBook Pro. Tried to open a document I created and I get a message that says I need to update to newer version to open that document. How do I reload the latest update for Pages in Maverick?

    After updates to Pages and several other applications I received an update to Mavericks 10.9, all of which were downloaded and uploaded to my MacBook Pro. After the uploads I created a document in Pages which I saved to my folder. Now when I try to open it I      get a message that says I need the latest version of Pages to open this document. What do I need to do to reload the last update to Pages so I can open my document?

    In both cases you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Judging from sterling r's response Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I upgrades my iPAD  3 to iOS6 and now I can't open my Safari RSS bookmarks.  Any ideas to help?

    I upgrades my iPAD  3 to iOS6 and now I can't open my Safari RSS bookmarks.  Any ideas to help?

    I've installed 3 different RSS readers and none of them "grab" the default flag for RSS feeds.
    I've also uninstalled the Podcasts.app, then re-installed a couple of the readers and Safari still has no idea what to do with them.
    What's most annoying is that Safari declares it doesn't know what to do with a feed and offers to load the iTunes Store so I can pick an RSS Reader to install, and then the iTunes app declares it can't connect to the store (even when I'm already on the store or downloading an application at the time).
    And yeah, I've tried the fixes for the cannot connect errors (Date/Time flip, reinstall bought app, setting DNS to Google even though it was already fine, and clearing Safari's cache just in case).
    This is absolutely pathetic.

  • I can't download OS5 or, rather, iTunes does download it about 450 mb and then, a few seconds after it starts processing the file, I get the message that I am timed out and am recommended to check my internet connection. I am using 3g to download it.

  • My Numbers program changed yesterday while I was working on a document and now I can't open it.  I get a message telling me I need a newer version to open the document.  All the others seem to open OK.  I HAVE NOT PURCHASED THE NEW VERSION.  What happened

    OK, this is the first time I have used this so I may not have started correctly, so here goes another try. I opened a Numbers Document and noticed the presentation was different from when I worked it before.  Since there have been a number of auto updates since I had worked in Numbers, I assumed I had an updated program.  I found it hard to figure out so I closed the document and went on to other things.  When I went back to it I found a message saying I needed a newer version of the program to open it.  Fortunately, the document was backed up and when I opened the backup it came in my familiar form.  I have not purchased the new version of Numbers but suspect that is what was using for that brief period yesterday.  Anyone know haw that happened?

    Hi Sailor,
    It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
    In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
    If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better.  For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up.  The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
    For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

  • I cannot purchess movies on my apple tv. i keep getting a message that says i need to update my billing info. i have done this and i still get the message. help help help

    i cannot purchusse movies on my apple tv. it keeps telling me that i need to update my billing info. i have done this and i keep recivimg the same message!!! help!!!

    You don't.  the ipad is not a backup/storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.  The sync is one way - computer to ipad.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your computer?
    If so, not good.
    You may be able to purchase  a third party program, not supported by Apple, to get the other music.
