Can't open Numbers document with newest version

I have the newest version of numbers installed (3.0.1- at least, I think this is the most updated!), but when I try to open a numbers document, it says I need a newer version of Numbers to be able to open it. What do I need to check/do to access my documents?
Well, nevermind. I think just quitting numbers and trying to open the document again worked.

Hi Ben,
Just a thought. Is this something to do with the document name (all those dots ".") ?
Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and choose Get Info. What does that show under Open with?
Regards,
Ian.

Can't open numbers documents, says index.xml file is missing?

can't open numbers documents, says index.xml file is missing

I came across this problem after upgrading to Mavericks. Here's what I did to solve the problem:
Issue: I began working on an existing spreadsheet. After I saved it and tried to pull it up again later, I got the message "index.xml file is missing...".
Go to your dock and delete the icon for Numbers (mine still referred to the previous version of Numbers).
Go to Applications and drag the Numbers icon to the dock. This icon now links to the new version of Numbers and (hopefully) your spreadsheet should work.

I can't open my documents with the update.

I can't open my documents with the update. It says to update pages in the app store but I've already done that, that how I got in this stupid mess. How do I fix it? When I go on the app store it doesnt say update, it says installed, but I still cant open my documments. I'm freaking out.

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.

Open a Document with different versions of Numbers on different devices?

Hello!
I'm a beginner with Numbers application.
I work with Numbers 3.1 version on my Mac, and Numbers 1.7.3 version on my IPad.
Documents created on my Mac is shared via Iclous, but cannot be opened on my Ipad.
What can i do?
Thanks for your help!

Hi meludwig,
Unfortunately, LabVIEW keeps track of the different VIs in memory using the VI's name. Therefore, if you want to load multiple executables that use the same VIs but with different code, you will want to rename those VIs. LabVIEW cannot distinguish between 2 VIs with the same name but with different code. Dynamically calling the VIs using VI Server, like you mentioned, will also potentially cause problems because the executables might try to load same VI name into LabVIEW memory at a time and this will still causes problems.
My suggestion would therefore to be to rename the utility VIs to another name and save it as a custom subVI in that program. Then, make sure to include that custom subVI in the App Builder executable and you should b

Can't open numbers files in latest version

I'm running the latest version of numbers in Mavericks and iOs7. I was able to open a file yesterday, but now get this message "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." I've double checked and all the versions are the latest. - it's a numbers file now, so I can't open it in excel either.

Hi marion0,
A lot of people don't realize that after they download Numbers 3.0 the old Numbers 2.3 is still on their machine. Numbers 3.0 is in the Applications folder and Numbers 2.3 is in a subfolder within Applications called iWork '09 or similar. The icons are similar and it is very easy to get confused. Here the old version is on top, the new version on the bottom. (They can run at the same time.)
If you had an icon on your dock before downloading Numbers 3.0 then it's probably still pointing to the old version. So if you like clicking on the dock to open an application and then open documents from within the application you need to drag the icon for the new Numbers 3.0 to the dock. Otherwise, you can always right-click on a document in Finder as Badunit suggests and choose which Numbers version you want via Open With.

Can't open Numbers document at all

Recently came to the "other side" and using latest mac book air and as far as I can see I don't have to update anything further. But I'm getting the same message here....see below. This is the same document that I created with the same version of numbers and now I can't open it. Weird thing is it still opens other Excel spreadsheets.

Can't open numbers document on mac!! Urgent please help

Ok so i have a macbook air mid 2012. I had to reset my laptop the other day and since then i cannot open my urgent numbers document. I need this very soon so if anyone has any idea of whats going on please help!!! When i try to open it it tells me that the document is empty or that i need to purchase it again. But i have already purchased it. I moved it to trash as well then cleared it then downloaded it again but no luck!
Thanks in Advance

Hi Salves,
Perhaps you now have two versions of Numbers on your machine, Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) and the latest version of Numbers (Numbers 3.2).
The icon on your Dock may still be pointing to Numbers 2.3 (the old version). That will not open a document that has been converted to the new version (Numbers 3.2).
Look in your Applications folder (inside a sub-folder called iWork '09) for Numbers 2.3. Do not delete this app!
Look inside your Applications folder (not a sub-folder) for Numbers. That may be Numbers 3.2 (the latest version). Drag that to your Dock.
Your Dock may now look like this:
Numbers 2.3 on the left (3 column chart);
Numbers 3.2 on the right (4 column chart).

Can't open Numbers document. Says I need to update, Can't open Numbers document. Says I need to update

I'm desperately trying to open a Numbers Document, but it keeps telling me I need to up-date. However, everything is up to date.

It looks like you are opening the old Numbers version by mistake. The Mac App Store kept the old Numbers version when you installed the most recent Numbers version in case you want to use it again.
To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Then, open Numbers and open your document from there. You will not get that message anymore.
An easier solution would be to remove the old Numbers version, but I do not recommend you to do it. Some users have complained about the lack of features of the new version, so you may want to use the old version in the future

Can't open PDF documents with Adobe

Every time I try to open up a PDF with Adobe the error message
Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 cannot be launched at this time. You must launch at least one other suite component before launching Acrobat 8 Professional.
We've tried reinstalling and can't figure out what the problem is... Any ideas would be great!

Thank you! That seemed to do the trick. Don't think I'd ever have figured that one out!!

How can I share numbers documents with my coworkers?

In our office we are used to share excel sheets. Now we are trying to do the same with numbers. But... When one of my coworkers opens the document at the same time and makes changes, the person saving last, overwrites the previous changes without getting a warning ...
In windows you always get a warning when you open a document that is already opened by someone else. Does Numbers have some protection as well?

This question was asked and responded several times.
iWork is designed as a single user product.
When a document is open, its System's busy flag remains set to false.

Can't open Numbers document

I spent almost 3 hours building a document, saving all along the way.... closed and opened it .... then changed the file name on my desktop, and now I can't open the file. I get the message The document "target.numbers could not be opened"
In finder, I can get a quick preview ... just wont open the doc. HELP

Maybe the doc is corrupted.
You may attach it to a mail and send them to my mailbox.
I will check if something is recoverable.
