Can't open document in Numbers from iCloud

I can not open a numbers document from Icloud. When I try to open the document, which is listed with other documents I get a message saying I must have the newest version of numbers. I have already updated to Mavericks and the upgraded Numbers. What can I do to access my document?

Finally found the problem. I was opening the old version and found the newer version on launchpad.

Can't open document on iPhone from Pages via iCloud

Trying to open a document on iPhone via iCloud only to get the following error messages from within Pages (iOS version): "Opening this document requires an internet connection". Am connected to internet using WiFi and the Documents and Data field is set to "Yes" in iClouds section of Settings. Document is present on iCloud.com. Tried deleting and reinstalling Pages; turning D&D field to No and back to Yes, rebooting iph00ne

It seems to be hit or miss if this works or not, but try opening Pages on the iPad, then before you select a document, on the very first screen, hit the "Edit" button, then select your document. Then click the arrow coming out of the box in the upper left corner & email the document to yourself. Try opening the email on a computer, selecting the file and adding the pages file type (.pages) to the end of the name. Then try reopening it in Pages.
I don't know if this is what happened in your case, but it seems like sometimes iWork documents lose that file type indicator & then Pages (numbers/ Keynote) won't open them.

Can't open documents or images in iCloud Drive

In an effort to stop using a competing cloud service and keep everything in iCloud Drive, I moved all my folders from OneNote to iCloud Drive in Finder. In iCloud Drive online there is no problem...every folder is there along with all the files and everything is fine.
That said, when I try to access any of the files, images, or documents on my iPhone or iPad, they're mostly all greyed out. I go to any iWork app, click on the "+" icon at the top left, then select "iCloud". This brings up my iCloud Drive UI and all the folders are there...but they're all greyed out. If I try to tap or scroll in that UI it closes and kicks me back to the home folder of whatever iWork app I was using (Pages or Numbers).
If I can't access documents, text files, PDFs, and images in iCloud Drive on my iOS, what good is it? I might as well go back to Microsoft OneDrive and their supporting Office apps which actually work great in iOS with the most recent updates. I'm just trying to stay within the Apple ecosystem and it's difficult to do. Thanks for any suggestions.

Welcome to the Apple forums
Looking back through some notes I made, Pages '05 doesn't work well in Snow Leopard. Even '06 has some limitations when opening Word files.
I suggest getting a newer version. I think it is likely we will see updated versions of the iWork apps when the Mac App Store goes live. I suggest you download the iWork '09 trial which you can use for 30 days. In the meantime you can find legal copies of iWork '08 or '09 at greatly reduced prices through Amazon.com or on eBay.

Can't open documents

Hi there. I can't open documents or files from the internet that I download, because I don't have Word. But I'm using OpenOffice, and I thought OpenOffice also could open files and so on, but I just learned that I couldn't. I don't know how to do it, if there's a solution of it. I searched all over the internet, but couldn't find something....
What should I do?

drag the files onto OpenOffice (I prefer another office clone called LibreOffice). Or launch OpenOffice then use the menu item "File > Open" to bring up the open dialog that will allow you to navigate to, and select the Word file you want to open.
Finally you can associate OpenOffice (or what ever app you like) with .doc and .docx files by right clicking the file then selecting "Open With > Other…":
The navigate to, and select, the application you want to use to open the file. Be sure to select the "Always open with" checkbox if you do not want to have to go through this everytime.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Updated numbers now I can't open documents

I just updated to OS X Mavericks 10.9 and Numbers; now I can't open my previous Numbers documemts; any ideas as to how I can get them to open?
Thanks

I haven't dared take the plunge yet, for fear of issues like this! But I did notice that Numbers for iCloud beta has been updated and will open previous Numbers documents, insisting on converting them to the new format.
If you have any of your old documents synced to iCloud you could try going to icloud.com, duplicating one of the old documents so you have the original untouched as a backup, opening the duplicate in Numbers for iCloud so it converts, close it, and then, when it's synced to the Mac try opening it in the new Numbers.
Would be interested in hearing if that works.

iWorks has disappeared. How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?

Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

Document Creation error - "We're sorry. We can't open document name because we found a problem with its contents"

Morning Friends,
I have created a SharePoint 2010 "Site Workflow" that is designed to take information from a form and create a Word doc with the gathered information and store this Word doc in a document library.
I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Office 2013
I understand there are a lot of steps (19) outlined below and I can provide more information as needed but the bottom line is this, workflow successfully takes info from an initiation form, uses the info to create a Word doc. Places this Word doc in a library.
When attempting to open / edit doc, receive error
"We're sorry. We can't open <document name> because we found a problem with its contents"
Details - No error detail available.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Very high level view of what I have done:
1 - Created content type called "Letters"
2 - Added site columns " First Name" and "Last Name"
3 - Created and saved to my desktop a very basic Word document (Letter.docx) that says "Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX"
4 - In the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I uploaded this "Letter.docx" file as the new document template.
5 - Created a new document library called "Letters"
6 - In Library Settings - Advanced Settings, clicked "Yes" to enable the management of content types.
7 - Then I clicked "Add from existing content types" and added the "Letters" content type
8 - Back in the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I selected "Edit Template" and replaced the first XXXX with the Quick Part "First Name" and the second XXXX with the Quick part "Last Name"
9 - Created a new 2010 Site workflow called "Create a Letter"
10 - To the workflow I added the action "Create List Item"
11 - Configured the action to create Content Type ID "Letters" in the document library "Letter"
12 - For the "Path and Name" I gave it a basic name of "Letter to"
13 - The next step was to create the Initiation Form Parameters and added to form entries "First Name" and "Last Name"
14 - I then linked the initiation form fields to the data source "Workflow Variables and Parameters" to their respective Field from Source parameters
15 - Went back to the "Path and Name" and modified the basic name of "Letter to" to include the first and last name parameters.
16 - Saved - published and ran the work flow.
17 - As expected, Initiation Form prompts for First and Last Name. ("John Doe") Then click "start
18 - Go to document library "Letters" and see a new Word document created titles "Letter to John Doe"
19 - Go to open / edit the Word document and receive the following error
thoughts? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

See this MS support article for SP2010 workflows and generating Word docs:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
"This behavior is by design. The Create
List Item action in the SharePoint
2010 Workflow platform can't convert Word content type file templates to the correct .docx format."
I've had success in using SP 2013, Word 2013 (saving a .docx as the template instead of .dotx for the document library content type), and an SP 2010 workflow using SP Designer 2013.

Can't open documents "you will need a newer version of pages..get upgrade at app store" App store says I have the current version.

Can't open documents some as recent as yesterday. "you will need a newer version of Pages...you can upgrade from the app store" The app store indicates i have the current version, upgrade not appropriate. A relatively new problem.

You have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

Can't open 'Documents' in Finder

I cannot open the 'documents' files in finder for last couple of days . Every time I am clicking on "documents" in the 'finder' sidebar, finder crashes and stops working and I need to relaunch it.
Therefore I have to use 'all my files' tab which is time consuming.
My Device Information: Macbook Air 11 inch (mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10)

Assuming you can, click on your home directory (it is the one with the 'house' icon so you can see all the folders in your home directory - including Documents. Can you open Documents from there?
If so: drag the Documents icon from the sidebar until you see a little cloud icon and release it. That deleted Documents from the sidebar. Now drag the Documents folder from your drive space into the sidebar to create a new alias of it. Test and see that it works.
If not: your drive directory is damaged. Restart while holding the command & R keys to enter Recovery mode. Select Disk Utility and your hard drive icon. Select Repair Disk.

I just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 but can´t open files of Numbers 9, help...!!!!!!
Can someone please help me, because those files in Numbers 9 version, are for my work and now I can´t open them

Hi rabg,
I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.
Regards,
Ian.
