So, somehow Numbers saves my files as a new version and then won't open them until I update?  How is that possible?

I saved a spreadsheet a few days ago and now Numbers won't open it saying I need to update my version.  I only use the icon on my dock to access Numbers and I didn't update anything.  I also restarted my computer.  This happens around every 6 months and then goes away after several restarts.  I am tired of this game....Apple fix yourself and let me open old versions.....

Have you made sure you are trying to open the document with the latest version of Numbers?  You likely have both versions on your computer, the new version in your main Applications folder and the old version in a subfolder named iWork '09 or similar. 
Any icons you had on your Dock before the upgrade still point to the old version, unless you took steps to change that.  Find the new version in Applications and drag it to the Dock so you have an icon pointing to the version you want.
The icons are similar, four bars for Numbers 3.x , three bars for Numbers 2.x.

  • After I installed the latest version of ITunes I get a message saying I'm missing the SQlite3.dll file. I have even unistalled the new version and then re-installed, still same message.

    After I installed the latest version of ITunes I get a message saying I'm missing the SQlite3.dll file. I have even unistalled the new version and then re-installed, still same message.

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • How to save a file in the newer version of muse to use it in an older version of muse

    I started to work in a project at home with a 30 day trial of the latest Muse,  I was going to continue working at school, and I can't open it. So how can I save the file to open it in an older version?

    Hi Luisis,
    Any file that is saved in the latest version of Muse cannot be opened in any previous of Muse and as of now there is no option available in Muse such that you can save the file in such a manner that it opens in the previous version.
    However, I would request you to post this as a feature request at Ideas for features in Adobe Muse
    Regards,

  • How can I save a file in the Downloads folder and automatically have it opened?

    Often, I'd like to download a file, save it to my Downlaods folder and have it opened right away.
    Currently, you can only decide between the two options "open" or "save to...". There's seemlingly no way Firefox can do both at once.
    I know I can download it, open the downloads manager and open it manually. But when working with over a dozen documents a day, that doesn't quite do the trick.
    In Chrome, you only have to click twice: Once for downloading and once for opening it from the download bar on the bottom of the screen. You do not have to open a download manager.

    Yeah, thanks but that's not what I was trying to ask.
    I know that you can save and open a document by performing these three steps:
    1. Confirming to save a file to the Downloads folder
    2. Open the download manager by clicking the temporarily green arrow
    3. Clicking on the downloaded file
    What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to have Firefox open a saved file ''automatically''. At the moment, if I choose to open it automatically, it is only saved to my temp folder.
    It would be great though if it was saved to my Downloads folder ''and'' opened with the respective program on my pc. Is there a way to do this?

  • It appears "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite.  How can I save a spreadsheet as a new document and then change all the data

    "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite (File > Save as)  How can I save an existing spreadsheet so that I can modify the data, rename it , and save it as a new document?

    rkaufmann87
    To address the first part of your response; as unnecessary as it was; save as has not been gone for years!!  It is predicated on the operating system in play on ones computer.  The software that I was using as recent as six months ago had a "Save as" option in the menu bar.  Further, as you may have noted in "babowa's response it is clear that it still exists to this day in apple's most recent software "Yosemite 10.10.2.  This appears to be true whether talking about numbers or pages (apps.)  Oh, and by the way I am employing the most recent versions offered by Apple!  Your car may be five years old but I am sure you still find it very useful.  Case and point; it's not gone!!!

  • I have a Toshiba external hard drive that i used to back up my Windows 7 HP -- I want to transfer files to my new Mac and it won't accept. Help?

    I have a Toshiba external hard drive that I used to back up my Windows 7 HP -- I am not able to get the files off of it (pictures) onto the Mac. I am NOT a very technical person. IS there a simple easy way to explain and do this -- OR a simple way to just say it is not possible?

    If you connect the external hard drive to your Mac does it show up in the Finder? If so, do the files you are trying to transfer show up? What happens when you try to move them over?
    What kind of Mac are you using and what operating system does it have running on it?
    Let us know, we'll keep helping you.
    Best of luck.

  • Using CS5: CR2 Files from my new Canon Rebel T4i won't open, but CR2 from Rebel XSi will?

    I can't find the correct RAW plug-in for use with Photoshop CS5 on my iMac running OSX 10.8.2.  I've downloaded several version but no luck so far.
    RAW and CS5 worked perfectly together when images came from my Rebel XSi, but won't open now when they come from my new Rebel T4i??? Chating with Tec Support and searching the database he recommended was fruitless. Any ideas anyone???

  • Can't open file saved in newer version

    I opened one file that said it was created using a newer version than the one I am running (10) and it worked fine.  I've got another one, though that says it can't open it and suggests that I re-save it so that it can be opened by my version of AI.  Since I only have my version and it won't open, I can't re-save it.  Are there any services that will open and re-save a file for me?  Or any volunteers? 
    Thessaly

    All this re-saving is way too complicated. If this file was saved with PDF-compatibility you can simply create a new Illy-file and place the file you cannot open. By converting it htrough Acrobat or Preview you won't do anything different: use the embedded PDF part.

  • I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version

    I can't save an old InDesign file to the new version. I keep getting this message:
    I can only save the file as .IDML.

    This happens to ALL old InDesign files on my iMac (problem does not happen on my Macbook pro). I have saved the files as .idml and opened them again. I get the same error when I try to save the file as .indd. They can ONLY be saved as .idml.
    I never embed images and do not have font issues (file was created on the same iMac as it is being opened on now).
    Sometimes I get an error when I first try to open an old file - it ays the file is damaged and can't be opened. I try again right after and it opens fine.

  • I am trying to save a document with the new pages and it will only save as a zip file any ideas on how to change this?

    I am trying to save a document with the new Pages and it is only saving as a ZIP file anyone know how to fix this or choose a different file type?

    Take a look at the FileSelector
    First make sure the FileSelector is expanded so you can see the directory and sidebar. That's what the little disclosure triangle up by the filename is for. Once the FS has been expanded to look like the above picture, look to see what subdirectory has been selected. Use the SideBar to select an appropriate one.

  • I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    I started to learn HTML, and I'm using text edit and everything is going fine, when I save the file with a .html extension and open it with safari I only view the code and not the webpage that was supposed to be created.

    That is because you don't have a web server configured and running to serve the html page. In order to see the page in a browser you need to access it using a url similar to http://localhost/~yourUserName if you are serving the page from your user account.
    Prior to Mountain Lion you could go into web sharing and turn on the web server. With Mountain Lion there is no option, other than using terminal, to turn on the web server. The web sharing menu item has been removed in Mountain Lion. Apache is still on your computer but it will take a little searching these forums or the Internet to find how to turn it on.
    If you want a graphic user interface to turn on/off the Apache server you could download and install a server application like xampp, http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html. I use this and it works well.
