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.

  • Having trouble opening jpgs of a disc from another mac user

    HI everyone,
    I am hoping someone can help me.  My friend gave me a series of pictures on a disc and when I try and open them I am getting the message
    Item "IMG_1621JPG"  is used by Mac OS X and cannot be opened.   I am running system OS X 10.5.8.  Not sure which version she has.
    Thanks for your help

    Do you get the same error with all the files?
    Are you double clicking the file to open? If so, try this.
    Open whatever app you can use, like Preview, to view jpg files. Then in the Finder, select the jpg to open. Now does it open?
     Cheers, Tom

  • How do I open a Numbers file sent to me that has been converted to Excel?  I already have MS Office for Mac.Ow

    How do I open a Numbers file sent to me that has been converted to Excel?  I already have MS office for Mac, but nothing comes up when I click on the imported file.

    If it indeed has been converted from Numbers to Excel, it will have a .xlsx suffix at the end of the name. Do a Get Info on the file if the suffix doesn't show. Else, it may still be in Numbers format and be unreadable by Excel.
    If it is in the right format, and you don't want to have to do what mende1 has instructed above for every successive file, click on the "Always open with..." option. That will associate the .xlsx suffix to Excel from thereon.

  • How do you open a DVD/file in another search engine

    how do you open a DVD/file in another search engine?

    Hi
    I think it is simpler than that: place DVD in computer and then try to run a video from the disk. It will not run using Safari, but I know it runs in Firefox which I have on the computer.
    I believe that I can depress one of the moifier keys while clicking an item on the application menu bar to open a menu where you can open the dvd using Firefox or another application.
    Should be simple, but yet to find solution.

    How do you open a cs7 file in indesign cc?

    When you say InDesign CC, doo you mean the InDesign CC release from this year, or are you still using InDesign CS6 through a cloud subscription? There are a lot of users confused by this.
    If you have CS6 through a subscription you are entitield to the new version for free and should go to creative.adobe.com and download the newest version of the Creative Cloud Desktop Application and get the new versions of the applictions you use.

  • How do you sync music into your library from another file

    how do you sync music into your library from another file?  After moving all my music into a new location, is there a quicker way to upload the music into the library rather than adding file by file?

    Hi MonicaJani,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  You can also add folders of media as described here:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Adding content on your computer to iTunes
    iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
    Open iTunes
    From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
    MacAdd to Library
    Windows
    Add File to Library
    Add Folder to Library
    Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
    If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

    When attempting to open a spreadsheet, I get a pop-up that says "Spreadsheet could not be imported.  An error occurred"  Does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

    I am unable to read any Numbers files in any app, other than the Apple Numbers app, on an iPad using v7.0.2. I can still view them on an iPod using v6.1.3.
    Something has changed but I am unable to figure what.

  • I keep getting this pop up that says why you no play candy crush is this a virus?

    I keep getting this pop up that says why you no play candy crush is this a virus?  How do I get rid of it?  It has an option to click on cancel or ok.  I keep clicking cancel.

    That's not what it is.  I have just started getting the exact same pop-up, and I am using a 5th gen. iPod Touch.  It can't receive carrier messages, being that it only has WiFi access to the internet.
    What is happening to me is this:  I start playing the TicBits "Sudoku " app.  A couple of minutes into the game, the app starts getting sluggish, and cannot keep up with my fingers... I touch the screen, and it takes longer and longer for the game to respond to my touches while trying to fill in the numbers in the sudoku puzzle.  Eventually, this stupid pop-up interrupts.  If I hit cancel, it might pop up two or three more time in a row.  If I hit OK, it pulls up the app store (I have just immediately hit the home button and restarted the sudoku game up to this point, but I will try to remember to let it take me all the way to the app it is trying to sell next time so I can report back, but I assume it's going to try to get me to download Candy Crush Saga).
    I do not have Candy Crush installed nor do I want to install it).  I am worried that this is some kind of malicious software, given how badly it affects the Sudoku app.  I don't have any interesting information on my iPod Touch for a virus to steal other than the password to my Apple ID when I need to use the App Store or iTunes.
    I have turned off Alerts for all apps other than Clock and Caendar, as I need those for appointment and alarm reminders.  Nothing else should be allowed to use these alert pop-ups.

    I'm having a similar problem...but mine results from an OS upgrade from 10.6.4 to 10.8.5.
    Where did you access a clean copy of Java SE 6?  The link at adobe for archicval plug-ins is a dead download (and it doesn't appear to contain Java SE 6.).

    It is possible the versions you have are not compatible with your new Mac. Could you please tell us the following:
    1. What OS are you running.
    To get this info, click on the Apple on the top left, then select About This Mac. The OS X version is there.
    2. What are the versions of the apps that are giving you problems?
    To get this info, double click on the hard drive icon and open the Applications folder. Select an application and right click on it. Then select Get Info. The version number is there.
    Version number:
    Not sure I understand your reference to Flip Player - this is not related to the "won't open" problem, is it?
