I am unable to retrieve spreadsheets.  Numbers displays the "Welcome To Numbers" page but does not allow saved spreadsheets to be opened.  It offers the "Open Recent" choice and displays saved file names but does not allow these files to be accessed.

I recently upgraded to Numbers 3.5.2.  I have an older Macbook Pro (2009) and I run Yosemite 10.10.2.  I am unable to open any saved files that were created with earlier versions of Numbers.  When I open the Numbers app, I am offered the Welcome To Numbers page.  When I choose the 'Open Recent' option, I am offered the greyed names of files that I had recently used, however, I am unable to open any of these files (no error message is displayed).  Welcome To Numbers stays on the screen.  I tried opening the app by clicking on the file name but it produced the same results.  I am having a similar problem with Pages.   I suspect a compatibility problem between the new OSX and the new iWork offerings.   Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Does it require a setting change or is it a bug?

I managed to download and install the iWork '09 apps.  However, when I attempt to open the app, I receive this error message:
Numbers cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Numbers works with this version of OS X.  You may need to reinstall the application.  Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X.
Problem Details and Configuration:
Process:          Numbers [39838]
Path:               /Applications/iWork '09/Numbers.app/Contents/Mac OS/Numbers
Identifier:          com.apple.iWork.Numbers
Version          ???
Build Info:     Numbers-2990000~12
Code Type:     X86 (Native)
Parent Process:  ??? [1]
Responsible:     Numbers [39838]
User ID:          501
Any thoughts as to what has to happen next?  I am running the latest OS X available (Yosemite 10.10.2)

  • The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters

    I have an SSIS task that has run successfully for years. They just moved the dtsx to a new server and now it is failing. 
    Issue:
    The task has a data flow that writes a raw file destination. It then has a subsequent data flow that reads the raw file destination. 
    The path and name of the raw file is passed to each of the data flows via the same variable. 
    The raw file resides in a folder on the server in the same path that the dtsx resides in. 
    The task fails with the "The File name property is not valid. The file name is a device or contains invalid characters" error when trying to access the raw file.
    What we have done to troubleshoot:
    1. I ran the task successfully on my local machine so it is definitely a server issue.
    2. The first thing we were seeing was that it failed trying to write to the raw file. The task is set to "Create Always". 
    3. We saw that the dba's copied over the entire directory structure from the old server which included a previously created raw file, so we deleted the raw file.
    4. We reran the task and it successfully wrote a new raw file but then failed on reading the raw file with the same error as above.
    5. We reran the task AGAIN and this time it failed trying to write the raw file throwing the same error as above.
    6. The dba looked at the directory and the account that performs the task has full control.
    7. The dba looked at the raw file that was created and verified that the account that performs the task has full control of the file and that it is the owner of the file.
    Summary:
    The task fails when trying to access the file EXCEPT when the file does not exist. In that situation it can write the file but subsequently fails in accessing it again.

    Hi Whalensdad,
    Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the following reasons:
    There are some invalid characters in the File name at package runtime. In this scenario, just as Russ said, could you please post the value that is in the File name variable? Also use a Script Task with Messagebox.show to show the variable values at runtime.
    May be it changes to others at run time.
    The account runs the package not having access to all the folders in the path. Since you are moving the dtsx file from one server to the current server, do you also move the raw file to the same folder in the current server? Does the user runs the package
    have access to all the folders in the path? To solve this, please ensure that the user has access to all folders and the raw file in the path on the current server.
    Thanks,

    Please see the response above. I can't use a message box on a server so I logged the values to the database. The resource account has full control to the folder. I haven't been able to get the DBA to check the SQL Agents permissions, but I was always under
    the impression that if you use "Run As" on the task, it will not use the SQL Agent but the account you identify it to "Run As". The "Run As" account has full control on the folder and file.

  • PhE11: No possibility to sort my pictures by file name !  Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9)  Tha

    There is in PHE 11 Editorno longer a possibility to sort my pictures by file name !  Why not ?? (Like in PhE 9)  That creates a big problem working with my thousands of files !

    dear Brett N
    I am a new macbook user forced to give up Digital Image Pro (winXP), and looking for a photo program that sorts BY NAME. REPEAT BY NAME.
    I was ready to purchase PSE11, but luckily I read this forum and saw that in your infinite wisdom you spared every expense and removed this function.
    I have no need for face recognition, type of photo, etc.
    Should I abandon 15 years of files all sorted by where they were taken?
    I think not. For you to do this to previous owners shows a blatant disregard for them.
    I will look elsewhere and not to a Photoshop product.
    Should you provide an update that corrects this I would consider installing it on my 2 new Apple machines. Hurry though......

  • I just found an error in the file name for my Camera Raw Cache file.  How do I correct it?

    I just found an error in the file name for my camera raw cache file.  The error is in my username.  I don't know how to correct the error or if I should just leave it.  I'm not sure where my cache file is stored on my computer.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Since you are on a Mac if when you first set up your account you left out the i in Wilson nothing you do will change that. The REAL account name will always be alicewlson. Once an account is created you can't actually change the name of it. You can change the name that is displayed but not the REAL account name.
    Simplest thing to do is stop worrying about it. Everything is as it should be, that is except Wilson being spelled without the i.

    I believe I made the error in my user name when I first got my computer a year ago. I then corrected it under my user name but not in my Lightroom files. I also looked for files with a .lrdata extension and didn't find any.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

  • Script to insert file name into keywords field of same file

    Hello,
    search a solution, a Script or another, which writes the file name into keywords field of same file (Metadata: Description/Keywords) in "photoshop", "bridge" or better in "Lightroom" .
    I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
    It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:
    "script to insert file name into keywords field of same file"

  • In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

    In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.  A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page.  reloading the page does not help.  Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

    If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly.  And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences. 
    In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others.  That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code.  It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.

    The seller should have given you the original disk so that you can reinstall as needed. But it likely was a single-user license (which really means single computer) so you can only have a copy on one computer at a time. If the seller didn't give you the disk he is probably still using the software on his new Mac. Your best option to get any of the iWork apps to use in OS X 10.6.6 or later is through the Mac App Store. You can then install them on any Mac you have that has access to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID.

    your iCloud storage isnt part of your phone, that is a back up for your phone, you have to delete things on your phone, so I recommend backing up your photos to your computer or iCloud since im sure thats whats taking up all your storage, then delete the photos on your phone and then update your phone using iTunes on your computer.

  • Why does Firefox open with both my Homepage and the 'Welcome to Firefox' tab, and how can I suppress the 'Welcome to Firefox' page?

    When Firefox loads, both my Homepage and the 'Welcome to Firefox' pages open. How do I suppress the 'Welcome to Firefox' page/tab?

    Hi Sean,
    Try this:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    It's a bit more "technical" than most people want, but it should work.

  • CS6 Links Window Shows jpeg file name but not tiff or psd file name

    So I have a question, I noticed that in CS5 and CS6 that when i place a jpeg file in Illustrator, the file name does appear in the links window, but when i place a tiff or a psd file there is no file name in the links window, this drives me nuts.  Is there a way to see the files name of placed psd and tiffs in the links window?

    Here's my thoughts...
    1. You are a bit confused and I wonder how you can determine a file is a PSD or a TIF by looking at it?  Not all print drivers can recognize PSD's, but can recognize TIF ( this means almost all output devices can interpret TIF's no problem ).  That said, PSD's can manage layers better than TIF's which add to file size each layer you include in the TIF.
    2. Never say never.  This all depends on the file's use.  Layered TIFs can add complexity in which a print driver can or cannot deal with.  As you work on an image, you may want to merge layers for whatever reason(s) and you always have the option to flatten whenever you feel like it.  However, It is also a good idea to dupe the file as you move along.  That means you always have a layered version to fall back on should you need to edit later on.  I also Place transparent PSDs in Illustrator files with no problems.  But, I save as EPS in Illustrator and when I do that, then the file is automatically flattened.  This is perhaps what the internet was talking about.
    3.  Yes, see number 2 above.  There's no such thing as automatic flattening of TIFFs.  Again, this all depends on the printer and whether or not it can print while retaining original layers.  Some do, some don't.  Most of the time, I edit in PSD with layers intact.  Then, when I prep the file for printing, I will save a copy as a flattened TIFF so the file streamlines through the RIP and Print process.
    4.  Makes no difference.  Use 'em if you've got 'em.
    Try to get some good resource material at a library or college bookstore or barnes & noble.  Also, get Adobe's Print Publishing Guide.  This is a good reference guide.

  • HP 4500 printing file name but not the context

    I have an hp 4500 connected to my router via an rj45 and have a laptop connected via wireless to my router. When I print a document from word it prints the file name and not the context.
    I have also tried to print an image but the same happen the file name got printed.  
    can any one help how i print the context on the file and not the name?
    is it due to my BT router?

    BT routers don't play well with HP printers, sorry.
    However, before we blame the BT, re-install the HP software from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
