How do I open a previous version Numbers file in the current version of Numbers?

I get a window that says the file is too old to open in my current version. I no longer have previous versions installed.
It seems very strange that current versions will not open legacy files.
Why is this?
How do I fix it?

Hi Alvalyn,
iOS 7.1? what version of Numbers? I am going to assume you are trying to open an '08 Doc in Numbers 3. You need '09 to do that. If you can't find it in purchase history you can probably still purchase it. What I did was download a trial version and it served me to bring my files up to date.

    You cannot override it.

    Chances are you are looking at the place holder of a large image. Go to the preferences and check that View Large Images is checked.

  • ITunes tells me my iPod needs to be updated (from 4.1 to 4.3.5) but when I click update it says "The version of iTunes is the current version". What's wrong?

    You need to update to iTunes 10.x.  However, to do that you need to ugrade your computer's OS to at least 10,5,8. That is a paid upgrade.

  • How can I open a CS4 file in the current version of Illustrator?

    I am collaborating with a friend on a project. He has CS4 and can't/won't upgrade.
    I was able to send him a file I created in the current version of Illustrator, and he was able to open it (I don't know how successfully, but it opened).
    He then saved it with a new name.ai and sent it back to me. When I open it, Illustrator thinks it's a photoshop file. It's able to open it ok, but it's rasterized, and is lacking a lot of details. So, even when I use Image Trace to get the pieces back, little shapes, like the tongue in an animal's mouth, are missing. And all of the individual pieces that make the Illustrator file so easy to tweak are lacking.
    Is there a trick to making this work, on my side or on his? I already tried searching via google and didn't find anything that looked helpful.
    Last resort may be to get him to just install the 30 day trial of the current version so we can get this project done.
    Thanks for any ideas!

    Having his install the trial is the way to go. Working between AI versions is a pain and as you are finding out almost impossible with 5 versions between the collaborators.

  • How much does it cost to update InDesign (CS2) to the current version?

    I need to update my InDesign (CS2) to the current version. I have a file created by a version of InDesign that I can not open without installing many plug ins or updating the whole program. How much does this cost per licence?

    I am sorry the upgrade is available for  CS 3 and above version.
    Now CS 2 is an free application.
    You may purchase InDesign CC 2014 single app subscription , it will cost you $19.99

  • Trying to update my iPhone 4 - "This version of iTunes is the current version."

    When I click "Update" in the phone screen on iTunes, it tells me that this version of iTunes (10.6) is the current version. I tried to download 10.7 and it cannot be downloaded to my OS, apparently.
    Then I tried to restore my phone. It told me it was unable to be restored.
    I'm currently still in iOS4. I really just want to update the iOS on my phone and I feel like I've exhausted my options. Any ideas?

    I'm using OSX 10.5.8, I just bought this OS and upgraded from Tiger two years ago in order to use my phone in the first place - I find it a bit ludacris that a two year old OS is considered too old for their software. Am I downloading it from the right place? I was linked through to Apple's website from another thread here.
    What OS is compatible with 10.7?

  • How do I open a new window (cmd + N) on the current page (url) NOT my homepage?

    Before I updated to firefox 28, I was able to hit cmd + N and it would open a new window with the exact same webpage I was on. Now it opens a new window with my homepage. I'm assuming I had an add-on or extension, but I am desperate to be able to do this again. Ideas?

    This is an oversight by the developers of the latest FireFox revision: a great shame, as the overall feel of the browser has patently been improved.
    Xabolcs has come up with a nice fudging idea; if it were to work; but sadly it doesn't for me....
    As mentioned by MGprof, the latest version of FireFox (May'14) now opens one's "homepage" instead of a new blank window.
    As my "homepage" is almost a dozen tabs; this is worse than useless. It's like starting FireFox again; and then having to close a whole string of unwanted tabs!
    To compound my frustration, the "move to a new window" option disappeared on another recent FireFox "upgrade"; but I managed to get round that by copying an url from a tab, then opening a new blank window, to paste the url into.
    So, is there any possible way to open a new window in this latest version of FireFox?
    I just want to be able to open a new FireFox window; and I'd be happy with it being either blank, or duplicating the url of a currently-showing tab.
    This would allow view of one trimmed-size webpage in front of another one, showing in a selected tab in my normal-use multi-tab window: useful when comparing complex images, for example.
    I have just installed the above-recommended "duplicate-2-window"; but can't make it work for me.
    I've assumed "no-restart-necessary" claim is correct; but using cntrl+N, I now get a new blank TAB!
    I'll try rebooting next, and post here again if that improves the situation; but don't hold your breath!
    Meanwhile, if the developers are watching out for feedback..................................... please sort this, by putting back the "open a new window" option: I do NOT want to have to use Gugl-Krohm!

  • How can I open Nikon D5300 NEF RAW files in the DNG converter?

    I have the latest version of the DNG converter, but it won't recognize my NEF files. I have a Nikon D5300, which is on the list of supported cameras. I have a 64 bit W7 computer.

    You don't open in the DNG converter. You use it to batch convert, folder by folder, and the converted copies can then be opened in the ACR version you have.
    Two things to watch: One, don't try to convert single files, it won't work. The DNG converter operates on folders. Two, set the compatibility level to the ACR version you have.
    If it still doesn't work, the files may have been corrupted by an early version of Nikon Transfer (later versions fixed). There is a utility  to "uncorrupt" them if that's the case (Google it).

  • How do I open Pages '08 files with the current version of Pages (5.5)?

    I have a computer full of Pages '08 files. I just upgraded to Yosemite and purchased the new Pages. It looks great but Pages is telling me that it doesn't open Pages '08 files. Apparently it only opens it's own files and Pages '09 files. As far as I know, Pages '09 is no longer available. Am I stuck at a dead end? Is there no way for me to access any of my documents?!
    Help!!!

    You should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Open your files with that and Export to Word .doc/docx. Pages 5.5 can open those with probably considerable changes.
    rogerfromnorfolk is right. Take a lesson from this as Apple will continue to screw over your work without regard for its affect on you or all the people who have to work with you.
    Start looking for something else more secure and reliable, that means NOT from Apple.
    LibreOffice [free] is very capable. There are also NisusWriter and Mellel with more alternatives on their way. Affinity Publisher from Serif should be launched next year and should maybe end any need to use Apple's btroken software.

  • I am unable to click and drag songs in order to arrange them in a playlist.  The tutorial says to simply highlight and drag the song to arrange them.   Any suggestions?  My version of iTunes is the current version.

    It should do. Which Playlist are you trying to re-arrange? Is it one you have created or one of the iTunes fixed ones? (Although it is possible to re-arrange the Recently Added Playlist, I would not recommend it.)

  • HT3345 How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    How do I open a password protected excel file created on a PC in numbers 09, on a MacBook Air?  I get a message that the "file is encrypted and can't be opened"

    This is actually not true; I support users who are doing this w/ Excel 2011 (v14.2.2+) for Mac and Windows users w/ Excel 2003 & 2007.  Win users are from finance dept, and who have pasword-protected various budget files.  The Mac users are (surprise) "creative" users, who enter pw to unlock and edit these budget files.
    These files are shared from a Mac server (running 10.6.8 server), and I do have an erratic problem where all users have read-only access to these pw-protected Excel files.  The manual work-around has been to copy the troublesome file(s) and confirm users have full access again.  I also do a shuffling of filenames, so that the new, working file has original file name.
    FYI: the Mac server POSIX and ACL permissions are correct, and don't appear to be source of the problem.
    It's easy an SMB file-locking issue or concurrent users trying to edit these files.  I keep reminding them that Excel is not a database!

  • I cannoy download the latest version of Itunes it will not upgrade from the current version

    I cannot upgrade my current version of Itunes to the current version Is there any help available?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The error hints at a similar pattern to those discussed in the first and third boxes of the user tip, suggesting that you've got an outdated .dll file that needs replacing. You should find CoreMedia.dll in the one of the following folders:
         C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    Delete it and then repair Apple Mobile Device Support from the Programs and Features control panel. If that doesn't work go for the full tear down and rebuild.

  • How can I update a Numbers '08 document to work with the current version?

    I've had Numbers '08 for quite awhile (obviously). Have a few spreadsheets in it that I tried as an alternative to Excel. I've now got the most current version of Numbers but it won't open the spreadsheets created in the '08 version. I get an error message telling me to save them with Numbers '09, which I do not have.
    Is there any way to get these updated to work with the current version? If so, that would be great, would like to try it out. If not, I'm just going to copy this stuff into Excel and be done with Numbers entirely.

    This is a work-around - but also send feedback to apple that that is pretty low in the 21st century where people may keep data without opening it for a very long time - then need it desperately.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/>Apple - Feedback
    Export the spreadsheets to another format - CSV may work - then import into the new version.
    Also you could try export to excel format and import.
