Can't open my numbers document!

I haven't been able to open my numbers spreadsheet with my budget on it for a week now. this is the message i get.
please help!!
I've tried duplicating the document. I've tried sending it so myself and exporting it every different way, but nothing works. I don't know what to do.

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 can´t open a numbers document.

    Hello,
    I have a problem. I created a numbers document one month ago. Yesterday I wanted to open it again and the mac says, I need a new version. So I updated the version. But still I can´t open it because anytime I want to open the document it says, that I need a new version.
    Can somebody please help me with this problem?
    Thank you

    Hi Kerstin,
    If you are running Numbers for Mac with OS X Mavericks, the update to Numbers 3 did not replace Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09)
    Numbers 2.3 has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 inside your Applications folder. It works as well as it always did. The icon on your Dock was not replaced. It continues to point to the older version of Numbers.
    Numbers 3 is in your Applications folder (not in a sub folder). Drag the icon to your Dock. It will become an alias. Right click (or control click) on it and Options > Keep in Dock.
    With icons for both versions on your Dock, you can choose which to open.
    Numbers 2 on the left (3 column chart).
    Numbers 3 on the right (4 column chart).
    Both versions will run happily at the same time if you wish. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
    You can revert a document that Numbers 3 has 'stolen' with Menu > File > Export To > Numbers '09.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • I downloaded the New numbers iOS and now i can't open any numbers documents

    I just recently downloaded the new Mavricks update and now all my numbers Documents say i need to download the new system before opening. I alread have the new numbers system so i am unsure of what I need to do to fix it. I use numbers all day for my job so not having it is really not an option.

    Go to the App Store via the Dock or by starting the program from your Applications folder. Sign in with your Apple ID/Password and type Numbers in the search box on the top right. That should let you navigate to the Numbers download.

  • Suddenly, all my saved Excel Worksheets are opening as Numbers documents, even though I've NEVER used the Numbers application, and even though the documents continue to be identified as Excel documents--losing years of work.  What happened?

    How can I uninstall Numbers?  I've never used the Numbers application before, and suddenly all my saved Excel Worksheets are opening as Numbers documents, even though they continue to be identified as Excel documents?  I'm losing years of work.

    Right click on a Excel Worksheet file, choose 'Get Info'. In the small window that opens change the 'Open with:' from Numbers to Excel. Click on 'Change All…'

  • Opening a Numbers Document

    When opening a Numbers document, how can I get the document to open where I last worked?

    Make sure you save the document when it is in the view you want.

  • Can't open older Numbers spreadsheet

    Bought a new Macbook Pro.  Now trying to open an old numbers spreadsheet and it's telling me "This spreadsheet can’t be opened because it’s too old. To open it save it in Numbers '09 first'  The new Macbook Pro is showing version '08.  How do I open this older version? 

    Hi warmbeaches,
    What version of OS X are you running? Apple menu > About This Mac
    **Do not delete Numbers '08, Numbers '09 or Numbers 3 if they are on your machine! **
    You might need them!
    All versions will run happily together.
    Try App Store to update all versions of Numbers (Numbers '08, Numbers '09 or Numbers 3) to the versions that will work on your current OS X. Previous releases will not be replaced. They will be moved to a sub-folder within your Applications folder. They won't disappear.
    Have a look here at this User Tip by Wayne:
    Need newer version of Numbers to open file
    Numbers 3 (if you have that on your new machine) will not (and can not) open a Numbers '08 document.
    Be sure which version of Numbers is trying to open a document.
    In Finder, Right Click (or control click) and Open With

  • How to open my *.numbers document?

    I can't open my old *.numbers document I created before Mavericks and all apps update a few days ago. This is really frustrating since the document contains very important data. The document was password protected. I've seen I have 2 Numbers apps in my Applications folder, but none of this can open my document.
    How can I open my old document?
    Thnx

    Hmm, what about *.numbers documents that are not on my iCloud?
    I need to open a document that is located on my hard drive. When I try to open it using latest Numbers (3.0.1) it says "The document can't be opened.". But when I try to open this document using Numbers 2.3 it says "The document does not have a valid format."
    Any ideas?
    I really need to open this document.
    Thnx

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • How do I open a numbers document once I have saved it and printed it?

    How do I re open a numbers document/spread sheet.  Once I saved it and printed it, it will not open for further use

    Hi beverly,
    Stuck how? Are you still in the print screen? If yes click "Done".
    Have you tried quitting Numbers? Restarting your Mac?
    Oh, and don't panic.

  • Can you open a word document in pages 08

    Quick question however stupid it is
    can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
    sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
    cheers
    Message was edited by: Lama323

    The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

  • Help!..Pages now is a disaster, crashes and I can't open any important documents!

    Hello, I am writing from Italy...HELP!!!!
    I have this problem: I can't open three important documents because Pages crashes. I can't use Icloud (if these documents are not opened in Pages, Icloud does not download documents!!!).
    I worked on these documents for months and now it is a disaster.
    Please apple, new update is necessary.
    How I can solve this problem?
    I can't return to the previous version of Pages because it is impossible but this is the one solution that I have read in Internet.

    I haven't had this exact issue, so I can't tell you exactly how I fixed it, but I can give a couple of guesses that might help.
    Definitely, if you haven't, restart the ipad by pressing and holding the power button on the top of the ipad until it turns off by itself, then wait a minute, then restart it. This has solved a ton of different random iPad issues for me. I'm not sure why, but when I first learned this trick, it was hold down the button on the front at the same time as the power button. For some reason, with iOS 6, this seems to do some kind of quick restart that doesn't turn off the device in the same way.
    The only other thing, I can think of is to use a second iDevice to try to download the files. If you also have a second apple iPod touch, iphone or ipad, try to download the most recent version that has synced to that device. Then I'd export it via email so that I at least have a copy to work from, in case the issue with Pages doesn't get resolved.
    Good luck!

  • Can't open old Pages documents in new system

    I bought a new MacBook Air with Maverick OS X 10.9.4, but now I can't open my old pages documents. What can I do?  My old MacBook was pre 2008 so everything is iworks 08

    The new version of iWork can only open iWork '09 documents. I had more than a few documents that I had to first open and save using iWork '09 before the newest version could be used.

  • Pages can't open my .pages document

    so i had a document that i needed for a presentation i was going to do, and i had it open beforehand to review it. i noticed that it had been edited because i accidentally pressed the tab button, so i undid the change. however i noticed that the little cirlce in the close window button was still there, meaning that it was still different than the original that was saved. i closed the document, and it asked if i wanted to keep the changes or revert them, and i chose to revert them. it froze up for a second, and then it asked me the same thing again, but it said something about having been edited by another program or something. not really paying attention, i clicked the revert changes option. it then told me that the document coud not be opened (or something to that extent) and then gave me an option to close the document. i was never able to open it again, ater that it just said that it couldnt be opened. i looked through the packages contents to see if it was different when compared to a working .pages file, but nothing was amiss. is there a way to recover this? if so, that would be great. Thanks!
