"Can't Open Spreadsheet" error on Numbers on iCloud?

I got this error on one of my spreadsheets... I don't know why. It happened after I was prompted with a conflict resolution, I picked one and then couldn't open it. I copied it to my iMAC and still nada. Any idea how to fix this or I need to remake it from scratch?
Thanks in advance.

On your iPad have you changed your settings to On in TWO places?
1. Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > Numbers
2. Settings > Numbers > Use iCloud.

Cannot open spreadsheets in latest Numbers app - "Unknown Developer"!

Having tried very hard to keep using the iWork '09 versions of Numbers ( and Pages and Keynote), I finally gave in and am now running a large and important spreadsheet in numbers 3.2 ( or whatever the latest version is). But now, every time I need to open this and other spreadsheets I get the the "Unknown Developer" message + "you need to use a more recent version"...! Talk about adding insult to injury.
Can anybody advise on a, successfully running the new Numbers app and b, even better, reverting to the '09 version (I still have these on my mac)..
Many thanks. Giorni

Dear Ian,
Many thanks for this. I was doing something similar for a while. Now my concern is that once the new Numbers app has forced itself on me, and most of my spreadsheets updated to the new version, will it be impossible to roll them back? even though I have the old apps still. Will experiment .
Many thanks,
Giorni

Hi Giorni,
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.

Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.

How can we view the error message numbers in the web ui?

Dear all,
How can we view the error message numbers in the web ui? It gives the error but no number. It is possible to debug in web UI so how can we accomplish this?
Thanks,
FK

Hi Fakhan,
You can absolutely do that.
Check the class: CL_BSP_MESSAGES
Also if you want to find out the exact Message Class and Message Number, go to table T100, type text in field TEXT, you will get Message Class and Message number in fields ARBGB and MSGNR respectively.
I hope this helps.
THanks

This happened to me too. The secret was: it's already opened. But the application is not responding. I right-mouse clicked the icon on my dock and Force Quit it. Reopened it and done.

I can't open iTunes - error 13014

I recently installed a 2TB external hard drive and iPhoto Library Manager on my MacBook Pro (MacOS 10.7.3), and now get the error message: can't open iTuns (error 13014).
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have tried to reboot, but to no avail.
Thank you.

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair".
Does iTunes launch properly now?
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post:

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

I have an iMac using the app numbers. Can't open spreadsheets because program is telling me I need to upgrade my numbers application but app updates is telling me it is already updated and there is nothing I need to do. What can I do?

Cant open Iworks-Numbers application. Computer is telling me I need to update numbers application in order open spreadsheet. Progran is already updated. This problem started yesterday. Any suggestions? Sounds like many other users are having the same problem.

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.

ITunes 7.7 - Can't open! Error message - PLEASE HELP!

Hi, I've recently updated to iTunes 7.7 and now I can't open iTunes. I've tried reinstalling itunes, quicktime and even did a system restore, but still couldn't get iTunes to work. Btw, I'm running XP pro w/ SP3. The error message I get is this:
And when I click the "Click Here" link, i get this:
Please help!!

when I tried to open quick time i got a rundll error - an exception occurred while trying to run
In that case the QuickTime problem is likely causing the iTune problem. So we'd better try swapping out your existing QuickTime.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Can't open spreadsheet

An old Numbers-spreadsheet has been converted into a folder, and Numbers says that it can´t open folders. If I open the floder from finder, it contains some strange files, among others a zip-file. But I can't find the spreadsheet. Any suggestions?

Birgitte,
Do you recall installing some kind of compressed file manager? If so, that's the problem. These programs usually have preferences you can use to tell them to leave certain file types alone.

Can't open excel 97 with numbers

I am unable to open an .xls file with numbers '09 v2.3 (554). I have not had this problem before although this file is Excel '97 it is one of my earliest files from my PC days. I recieve the error message "This document was created with an unsupported version of Excel. Only documents created with Excel ’97 or later can be opened." Don't understand as it is '97.
I've tried to open other files from the same folder unsucesfully and I can't even open the word .doc files.
Thanks, any ideas much appreciated.

I'd suggest downloading one of the open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice or NeoOffice, then re-saving the result in a more recent Excel format, to be opened in Numbers.
Or you might stop at that first step, and use that application to work with these files.
Links are to download sites. All three request donations. Neo requires a recent donation to download the most current version.

Barry

Just updated to Mavericks and can't open spread sheets in numbers

Just updated to Mavericks and can't opean spread sheets, says I must update numbers but numbers is already updated?

Hi REBOS1,
A key point in the article to which YeOldMacFan links is that you now have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in your main Applications folder and the old version in a subfolder named iWork '09.
Both versions can coexist on your Mac, even run at the same time, but you need to make sure you are opening a particular document with the correct version. The old version can't open documents that have been edited in the new version, and that's probably the reason you are getting the error message.
If you have old documents, it's best to make copies of them and open the copies in the new version, leaving the orginals unchanged.
