Can't Open Old Numbers Docs in Beta

Is anyone else having this problem? I am trying to open an older spreadsheet from iWork '09 and it won't open on my iPhone (Numbers 3), Mac (Numbers '09) or the current iCloud Number Beta.
Is there workaround? It won't let me Share or Download so I could open in Excel.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

UPDATE & WORKAROUND:
Ok, i found a way to at least see the spreadsheet. Change the file extension to .zip and it'll bring up a few files in Finder. Mine came up as INDEX. I was able to do a Quick Look on the file and it shows my spreadsheet.
I'll have to re-enter the info into a new spreadsheet, but at least I was able to see my data.
I'll be using Google Docs from now on. What a hassle?!

There is a chance the spreadsheets were made with a Numbers or AppleWorks version so old that it's not compatible anymore with the latest Numbers version (yes this can happen)

Can't open old indesign docs

Hi
I installed 2014 release and now can only open old indesign files in the old version not the new one. What do I need to do to be able to open them in the new version?
Thanks in advance

The tef file is an iCloud file.
Maybe turn it off for a while and do something else before restarting it to give it time to reset.

Why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?

why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0? I have downloaded Maverick. I had the same problem with Pages at first. Is there any way to get my spreadsheets back? I'm nervous about upgrades anymore.

If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to 3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
Numbers 2.3 Numbers 3.0
Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files. If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

Can't open old PDF's

We recently got new updated computers but we kept some of our old files. I downloaded the adobe reader x and everything, I still can't open old PDF's (saved and unsaved ones like from my email). Something with Microsoft Word comes up, and all funny writing and numbers and such! The only way I can view an old PDF's is I save them again, go to the Adobe Reader X icon on my desktop, and open the file(s) from there. It's quite a hassle because sometimes I don't want to save something, or have more than one PDF open! Help please. (I'm pretty much computer "stupid", so it might be just something small!)
If you have any ideas for me, feel free to reply below or email me at [email address deleted by host]
Thank you so much (:

Can I send a numbers doc to someone who does not have numbers

can I send a numbers doc to someone who only has Excel or anyone who does not have numbers?

You can email the document but it is not likely they will be able to open it. There are export options from Numbers:
CSV, PDF and Excel:
I hope this helps

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
Regards,
Ian.

Open old numbers template

Hi,
I found a template for a budget planer which was created with Numbers '09. No I'd like to open it with the new version of numbers. I get an error message when trying to open the template with Number 3.0: Template is to old. Open with Numbers '09 and repair.
As I do not have a 09 version installed is it possible to open the template differently?
Many thanks for any feedback!
Best regards
Rene

rz,
I wonder if you could go back to the person who gave you the template and request that it be provided in iWork '09 format. That would solve your problem. iWork '09 documents can be opened in Numbers 3.
Second option would be for you to purchase iWork '09 from old stock at a retailer, such as Amazon or Ebay. The advantage of this approach is that you will have the more capable version of Numbers until Apple adds back the features it left out of version 3.
If all else fails you may email the document to me and I'll return it to you in either Numbers 2 or Numbers 3 format.

Old Logic + a new Mac = can't open old projects anymore. De/re-install?

Hi everybody,
maybe someone can advise me with this problem:
I bought a new Mac recently, did install a fresh OSX 10.5 and then used migration assistant to transfer my old user account from my old Mac (10.4), incl. all files. It did take a night, but it worked - or so I thought. Actually all applications work as they should, except for Logic. I had to re-authorize a few plug-ins, but then all seemed to be cool. I can open a new project, record audio, midi, add plug-ins, all cool. But I ended up with 3 problems, which are really annoying:
1) EXS24 couldn't find most of the samples anymore. Most, not all. I have 4 internal HDs, one for the system, one for audio recordings, one for samples, one for "other stuff". 2 of these disks came from the old Mac, 2 new ones, content copied from old Mac. In the EXS prefs I set "search for samples" to "all volumes", but it still didn't work perfectly. Finally I bought EXSManager Pro and now it seems to work again. I didn't try ALL samples yet, but the +/- 20 EXS instruments I tried, did load all samples.
2) Space Designer doesn't load impulse responses for the presets anymore. They're there and at the right place. I can load SD and import an existing impulse file, no problem. But the presets don't find the required files anymore.
3) Now - and this is the worst one - I can't open old projects anymore. I just can't. It starts loading, I see the rainbow thing (don't know the right word), it turns black & white and that's it. You can watch this forever and nothing happens.
Regarding all 3 issues:
I don't get any error messages. Logic doesn't crash, I can't click 'apple-.' to stop loading/searching. It just doesn't open the file. I had a coffee, a pizza, I let it try for 2 hrs+, but neither did it load a SD preset or an old song file. All I can do is manually quit Logic.
But when I open Logic with the CTRL-button down and click "no" to core audio I can open all songs. Of course I can not hear a tone then, but it's all there. Opening a song takes 3 secs then. I tried to safe a song then with a different name, re-started Logic with core audio but same result. It get's "stuck".
Of course I checked user permissions and all the usual trouble shooting clicks, but still Logic has a mind of it's own. I installed a 2nd user with admin rights, though still the same, plus all the 3rd party plug-ins refusing to work.
Now I was thinking, should I de-install Logic and re-install from the original CDs maybe. And if so, is there anything special I have to take care of? Like manually removing any prefs or cache files?
Or completely re-install the whole Mac? (pleeease no....)...
If anybody has any idea, it'd be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance and for the energy to read my little novel here,
cheers,
Joern

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

I can't open attachments on my iPad 2. I have downloaded the 8.0.2 software update. I can't open jpgs, PDFs, docs. or movie files now.

Obviously, you are talking about the mail app, so force close the mail app and reset your iPad. If that fails, reset all settings.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
When you reset all settings, you will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
