Can't open my old files in garageband 9, required new version

hello macusers!
i.ve created some garageband files last month with garageband, i suppose was garageband 9! But my macbook had to be cleaned and I had to reinstall mac os x and all ilife 09 applications ,including garageband! Now I can't open some certain files i've created, it tells I should upgrade my Garageband to a newer version, but the newer version is with the ilife 11, which I've never used! Can someone tell me a way to open these certain files? (other files opened, but was created in the same time with the same garageband...
thanks a lot!!!

Maybe you just need the Latest Version of GB for iLife 09...

Have used Works08..Pages ver.3.0.3...How to open these old files in my new Pages5 app

You can't. You can install iWork 08 and update but it will only work for iWork documents. You need to have iWork 09 or Pages 09 to read Pages 08 documents.
Pages 5 can read Pages 09 documents but a lot of them will look messed up as Pages 5 doesn't have all the features that Pages 09 have.
My advise is use Pages/iWork 08 for you old documents. Pages 5 is only for those who moves/work on documents over iCloud.

Can a Domain.sites iWeb file be transferred into the new version of iWeb?

So I have my Domain.sites file from my old computer (Home, Library, Application Support, iWeb), but I can't get it to open on my new computer. I assume this is because it is a domain.sites file, and the new version requires domain.sites2? How can I get my old site to transfer to my new computer or convert the file, etc.?
I've looked over a lot of postings, but I can't figure out what I should do once I have the Domain.sites file, and I've put it in the same place on my new computer but I get the message: "Can't Open File."
Thanks for any help...

What system are you running on your new Mac?

It's happened twice in the last month- I suddenly can't open my Pages documents unless I get the new version (for $20!) What is going on??!!

Some documents, but not others, that I've created/edited/printed and worked with JUST RECENTLY suddenly won't open UNLESS I get the new version of Pages (for $20!!) I just edited some of these a couple of days ago! I edited one, printed it, etc. Now I need to look at it again and it WON'T open! I "need the new version of Pages??! What if I don't want to suddenly shell out $20 to work with documents I made on the version I already have? And why do SOME documents now look different (in a new style) while others look like they always have, and function normally?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Can Pages open VERY old files?

I'm going to buy an iMac early next year, my first Mac in eight years. I have ClarisWorks 2.0 files I'd love to resurrect and tweak. Can I do that with Pages, or are these files too old and I'm SOL?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
No, Pages can only open AppleWorks 6 word processing documents. AppleWorks 6.2.9, which will run on the new Intel Macs should be able to open AppleWorks 5 & ClarisWorks files, but it often gives an I/O error when trying to open ClarisWorks 4 & earlier files. If you can get a copy of AppleWorks 6.2.4, you would not have this problem. It is only AppleWorks 6.2.9 that has the problem. You can buy a copy of AppleWorks 6.2.4 from Hardcore Mac which is likely to be the best solution for you.

How can I open an old file made with 2009 iWork'09?

My iMac war repaired and I tried to open my old work with iWork'09 but the program doesn't function and I am not be able to open my old book. how can I solve this problem? Thanks for the reply.

What version of Pages do you have? Pages 5.2 can not open Pages '08 documents.
Can you reinstall iWork '09 from the original Installer or DVD?:

I can't open my web mail since I downloaded the new version, 4.0.1 of Firefox

I 've got an internet provider.Through this I made a web mail account. Since I updated the Firefox in version 4.0.1, I can't open my mails from my web mail account.
Is this a problem of a e-signature file or something else?

Hi, Gary. If the CD you burned in iPhoto 5 is still in your computer, eject it and see whether that makes any difference.
If you copied the contents of that CD to your hard drive in such a way that there is now an iPhoto Library folder anywhere on your hard drive which was created by iPhoto 5 rather than iPhoto 4, trash that folder and empty the trash. Then try opening iPhoto 4 again.
When you burn a CD from within iPhoto, it creates an iPhoto Library folder on the CD. That library folder is specific to the version of iPhoto that created it. If an older version of iPhoto finds such a folder anywhere within its reach, it tries — and fails — to open that folder instead of its own library folder, and then puts up the error message you've seen.
In the future, if you transfer photos from a computer that contains a newer version of iPhoto than your own, it will be safer to export the photos from the newer version of iPhoto to a folder on that other computer's hard drive, then burn a cd containing the photos from the Finder, rather than from within iPhoto. That way the disc won't contain anything your own version of iPhoto can mistake for its iPhoto Library.

I can't open my iPhoto - tells me to use the new version

i can't open my iPhoto!
this the message that i get
"You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto."
I have iPhoto 4 on my G4 at home. I tried transferring some burned photos from my G4 labtop (running on iPhoto 5) and this was the message i got. I tried everything from the update downloads to deleting the pics from iPhoto 5. I still can't open my iPhoto.
Just had a baby girl and it's driving me nuts because I can't access my photo library.
Please Help ... desperate new dad!

Can't open Numbers on computer, it says to download new version but new version is already installed

I cant open Numbers in my computer, it says to download new version in app store. i have done that but it still continues to give me that message.

Are you launching Numbers 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 Numbers 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.

Help can't open itunes, says it was created by a newer version of iTunes?

Help! When I try to start iTunes it says: The File "iTunes Library.itl"; cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes.
Today before the listed above happened it 1st said it detected an issues with Quicktime, so I followed the instructions to uninstall and installed Quicktime using the Quicktime standalone installer. Then when I tried to get to iTunes the above popped up instead.....please help me!! I'm not computer savvy and do not know what to do!

Here is some advice I copied from a b noir (regular poster on these forums) message.
I've seen that one reported every now and then after an version update, if the update hasn't gone through properly. (The library files seem to get updated, but the program files don't.)
So, let's try another iTunes update, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Download and save a fresh copy of the installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line.)
Latest iTunes Installer
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Now run the install by doubleclicking on the iTunesSetup.exe (installer) file you downloaded earlier.
Does that install go through okay? If so, does iTunes launch without the error message this time?

Firefox.exe has "disappeared" so I can't open it. If I download and install new version will I lose all my bookmarks etc?

I've had a lot of crashes, some just firefox, some the whole computer. In process of migrating to new machine so wasn't overly concerned. But after a restart today, I found I could not get firefox to open at all. After finding the system searching for firefox.com, I checked program files\mozilla firefox and firefox.exe is not there. A search showed it not to be anywhere. Not ready to stop using this machine just yet. Any way to get firefox.exe reloaded without losing all my related stuff??

As long as you do not delete your Firefox personal settings or application data, they should remain after a reinstall.
Don't run the Firefox uninstaller, simply run the installer that you download. This will just install over your previous installation.
<b>Note:</b> To be 100% safe, I would recommend backing up your Firefox application data folder.

How to open animated .GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer

Q: Since ImageReady is long gone from Photoshop, how can I open animated GIF files in Photoshop CS3 and newer?
A: File -> import-> video to layers.
In the dialogue box type "*.*" to show all file types.
Select your GIF file and which frames to import.
They will now be available in your animation palette.

Zeno
curt y, sorry for the late reply, I tried that but I doesn't work. I have to choose at least two files in the Load Layers window in order for the OK button to be available and then some action script uses the different files to make layers and merges them but not from the frames of the gif file. I can undo through the script to see what it did but it never accessed the frames of the gif file, just the first frame. Choosing "make frames from layers" in the animation palette only puts the original files into layers - that is only the first frame of the gif file.
I guess I'm out of luck with the 64 bit version of Photoshop as Zeno suggested :-(
What program would you people suggest for opening each frame from gif files?
