Cannot open older Numbers files since update

Cannot open any Numbers files that were created before an update, but can create new files, close them, and reopen them. When I try to open the file it says "Numbers quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple." I've sent reports to Apple several times, and have installed all updates that are available. I noticed this problem before I updated my other computer and can still open the files on that computer.

Hello
It seems that something works sadly because you aren't the first one with this problem which I already reported to Apple.
May yo pack one or two sample files as .zip archive
create a "System profile"
attch both of them to a mail and send it to:
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I would be able to look if I may revive your file or send it to Apple's bugs hunters.

Unable to open Numbers file in iCloud using Numbers 2.3 (iWorks 09)

Using my iMac (OS 10.8.5) and Numbers (2.3), I am unable to open a Numbers file built on my iPad2 (7.1.1) and stored on iCloud. I get an error message indicating that I need to upgrade Numbers on the iMac. The version available to download on the App Store is 3.2.2 and seems to require Maverick to run. i don't really want to spend the money on either, but will if I have to obviously. (DISLIKE). Are there other options? And will the upgrade also force me into iOS 8?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Reefkeeper,
You will need Mavericks to use Numbers 3. I don't use iCloud right now but it seems some users are experiencing difficulties at the moment with the iOS 8 upgrade. To Use Numbers in iCloud you will need iCloud Drive which requires iOS 8 and Yosemite on the Mac. Yosemite is not out yet.
I sync my Numbers files between my iPod and Mac using iTunes and file sharing. It is a little clunky but gets the job done. You can also email files.
It has been said on these forums that Numbers 3 is a free upgrade- I can't remember. I don't do a lot of printing or find and replace and Numbrs 3 has suited me very well. It is said to be more applescript friendly and of course that whole cloud thing. '09 will still be on your computer.

I download last update numbers. Now I cannot open the previous files. The screen asked to upload. How to solve this problem?

The screen asked to donwload the new numbers program. I already have done it. I cannot open the previous files. How to solve this problem?

If by the "screen asked to upload" you mean you see a message to upgrade Numbers, then probably what is happening is that you have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in the main Applications folder and the old one in a subfolder named 'Work '09. This is as intended.
Try opening your document with the new version of Numbers that is in the Applications folder, not the Numbers that is in the subfolder.

Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad).

Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad) sent from an email. I get this message: "the document can't be opened because it contains cells outside the boundaries of Numbers"...what this means?

If you have Numbers for the iPad, that will be one of the options to open in (besides, or from, Quick Look) if you don't have one of the PDF / printing apps. Numbers handles Excel files quite nicely on the iPad, in my experience--one more reason to have it.
One reason I like the Save2PDF app is that it gives me lots of options on the iPad for how I want to save or process email attachments.

I cannot open pages, numbers or keynote on iCloud?

Hi..
Try this support article > iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud
If nothing there helped, and you are using Safari to access iCloud.com...
With Safari open, press Comand + Option + E on your keyboard to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try iCloud.com
If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then quit and relaunch Safari again, try iCloud.com
If that doesn't help, on your Mac, open System Preferecesn > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data then reselect it. Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data then try iCloud.com.

How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
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.

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.

How can I open a Numbers file to the last cell used on from the previous saving of that file?

In Excel, the .xls file would always open on the the cell location where the file was previously saved. Very nice to have feature when the file is long ,so one does not have to keep scrolling down the page to make the next entry every time the file is opened.
Can Numbers do this? I can't find an option for it.
After opening a file, I must always scroll down to the last entry or where I want to start inputting data. What a pain.
Is there a way to open a numbers file to where one was located when it was previously saved?
Anybody know? Please help.
Thanks

CF,
When I Save a Numbers document with a cell Selected and then close the document, the same cell is still selected when I reopen the document. Isn't that what you are asking for? Furthermore, if I have chosen 100% zoom scale, the selected cell is displayed in the same screen position as when it was last saved. What you may be seeing that you don't care for is that if the zoom is other than 100% the table's position in the display window may be different than at the last Save.

Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 from my new Nikon D800 camera.

That's it, I Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw from my new Nikon D800 camera. What am I doing wrong or what is wrong? I have the plug-in Camera Raw 7. and can open TIFF files but not the NEF files.
Peace,
Charles Fennen

Hi ssprengel,
to explain the scenario, i am basically a D7000 user and I do post production with Windows computer. But for an assignment I have hired D800, they have provided me their SD memory card. I have used the same memory card while shooting.
I have transferred the NEF files from the camera using Nikon software. The transfer was successful but i am not able to open the Raw NEF file with ACR. Even my plugins are updated till date.
The NEF thumbnails are having small lock logo in the bottom left corner. I do not know what does that mean. Like this.
Kindly let me know what would be the prob? if my RAW files are corrupted kindly let me know how will I recover them?
Thank you.

Cannot open QB 2007 file after installing R7 upgrade

I installed the Quickbooks Pro 2007 "upgrade" and then tried to open my old Quickbooks Pro 2007 for Mac company file.
1.) It asks me if I want to Upgrade the file (no choice)
2.) Then it simultaneously says "Working" and gives me a warning about the file not being able to be renamed and that I have to rename it and save it in the QB folder.
3.) Then - whatever name I give it - it says it could not create the upgraded file.
4.) It also says that it could not open the existing file.
I'm not sure what to do - the file is only 4.7MB and I've tried every combination to get it to open.
Is there some trick? Nothing about this on the Intuit Forum. Nothing on Google either.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot open my business file!

I guess what is happening is that I originally installed quickbooks and the company file on my macMini and I suspect that it is not opening it on my iMac because of a sharing violation.
I did unlock both the application and the files but they still won't open.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mac Word 2008 - hyperlink message "Word cannot open the specified file"

I'm using WordMac 2008 version 12.2.5 and after following detailed instructions on how to hyperlink chapters in a Table of Contents to their respective chapters in a book, I can only get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
Any ideas what could be wrong?
My OSX is 10.5.1.
The instructions I followed are pasted below and are copied from the Smashwords Style Guide: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/52
START OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE:
How to create a linked Table of Contents. Consider this feature in “beta.” My
thanks to Smashwords author Cheryl Anne Gardner for sharing these tips below,
which I have augmented based on my own experience adding a ToC to the Style
Guide (woo hoo!).
By adding a linked table of contents, you can help readers navigate your
document. This is especially useful for non-fiction. Most fiction doesn’t
need it. If you follow the instructions below, the ToC should work in your
EPUB, MOBI and PDF files, but it will not work in our other formats.
First, create your table of contents where you want it by typing it out. Make
sure the text is normalized just like the rest of your Smashwords’ Word
document. Example:
Contents
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Etc.
Next, we are going to create the BookMarks. In Word 2000, 2003 and 2007, the
Booksmark function is under the Insert tab. Go through your document, and at
each Chapter Start or Indexed item, you will highlight it and then select
Insert: bookmark. Name your bookmark corresponding to the Chapter/Indexed
item and then click add. It’s very important to use the first word of your
heading you’re linking to, because later on, when you add the hyperlinks,
Word displays the bookmark shortcuts in alphabetical order. With many
bookmarks, I found many of my bookmarks weren’t labeled properly, so it was
tough to link to the correct bookmark. If you want to link to a chapter named
How to Publish Ebooks, I’d recommend naming your bookmark
“HowToPublishEbooks” to make it easy to locate. If you instead name it,
“publishebooks,” you’ll frazzle your brain and make mistakes.
Repeat the process above for every Chapter Start as well as for other matter
in the book like index, bibliography, epilogue, prologue, etc. I didn’t link
to every section in the Style Guide, because otherwise the ToC would have
been three pages long. This is your call.
Next, return to your table of contents and highlight the word “Contents.”
Click insert, bookmark, and label this last bookmark “Contents”. Formatting
note: Bookmarks cannot have spaces or odd characters. If instead of
“Contents” you called the label in the document Table of Contents, as I did,
then when you insert the bookmark, name the bookmark “TableofContents,” one
word, or “toc.”
Next, add the hyperlinks to your Chapter Starts. In your table of contents,
if Chapter 1 is called Chapter 1, then highlight Chapter 1 and then click
insert Hyperlink. As you can see in the Style Guide, I tried to use more
descriptive labels. In Word’s Hyperlink menu on the left hand side, select
“Place in this document.” You will now see your bookmarks listed in the main
window. Select Chapter1 bookmark (or whatever you labeled it) and then click
ok. Do this procedure for every chapter and piece of matter in the table of
contents.
Final step. Now you can link back to the Table of contents. Move through your
document to each indexed item or Chapter start and highlight it. Then click
insert, hyperlink, and then select “Place in this document.” When the
bookmarks are showing in the main window, select the bookmark labeled
“Contents,” assuming that’s what you named your Table of Contents. Do this
for each and every chapter and or indexed item.
After you are done, all your links will be underlined. You will need to test
and make sure you linked everything properly. In most Word versions, you just
click on the hyperlink to test. In Word 2007, you may need to Ctrl-Click each
hyperlink and make sure it takes you where you need to go in the document.
Advice: Word has an automatic ToC generation feature under the reference tab.
Do not use this. It uses automated headings and formatting to generate the
ToC and this will un-normalize your text and cause font conversion issues in
your Smashwords files.
END OF PASTE FROM SMASHWORDS STYLE GUIDE.
I did all that as described but I still get the message "Word cannot open the specified file".
Could you help please?

This question would be better addressed to...
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/help.mspx
I think the operative phrase from that article is...
*Consider this feature in “beta.”*
