I can't browse old versions in iWork.

I have Lion running with the newest versions of pages and numbers.  When I go to the top menu and click "Browse Old Versions" the interface opens, but there's nothing on the right part of the screen where the older files should appear.  Instead it's just blank.  The bar along the right side works and shows that I have versions to look at from the past couple of weeks.  When I click something on the bar, it moves (the black box in the back) comes closer to the front as if stuff in front of it were moving, but there's still nothing there.
If I try to restore one of the blank versions I get an error: "Unable to revert because an error occurred while trying to open this file's backup version" at which point the program then stops responding and has to be restarted. 
This happens in both numbers and pages (I don't have keynote). 
If no one can help, does anyone know if they will at least help in the apple store even if the three year warrenty for the laptop is over?
Thanks.

Oh, and it does work fine for other (non-apple) programs.  Just not with iWork.

    You can't downgrade the iOS.
    Did you get an error message or something displayed on the screen?

  • Is there a way where I can get my old version of a particular app back?

    Alright, so, I own this iTouch and it's the 2nd generation one, I know it's old, but I don't wanna upgrade atm cuz i'm happy with the one I currently have. I plugged in my iTouch last night and my applications started updating itself in iTunes and the Facebook application updated itself to the newer version, but then it won't sync into my iTouch cause it says that it's not compatible with my iPod. So, is there ANY possible way that I can retrieve my old version of Facebook application back?

    Only if have a previous version of the app like part of a computer backup that included youriTunes library. Sorry.

  • Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

    Can I install old version of google maps that was installed with ios5. What's the app called?

    You can't, it was built-in to iOS and is not in the store. Google are supposed to be working on app version of maps, and in the meantime you could try accessing it via Safari : http://maps.google.com

  • Can anyone tell me why I can't update my itunes on my p.c?  I get a message saying: the feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.   Tried uploading from websit, get msg can't delete old version.

    I need some serious help!
    I have been trying to update my itunes to version 10.7 and my Quicktime to version 7.7.3!
    Having no luck!
    So I tried selecting repair software on all of the Apple applications and they seem to have worked.
    Then I selected look for upgrades on my itunes (Help) main screen
    It said their were two updates -   Itunes  10.7   and  Quicktime 7.7.3
    I selected the option to update and the .exe files were loaded to my  Windows 7 p.c.
    However after part of the Itune update completed a message came up on the screen
    saying   "The feature you are trying to use is on a net work resource that is unavailable.
    O.k.
    I then went to the itunes website and tried again.  This time it checked my system the process seemed to be working and all of a sudden I got a message saying my old itunes programs could not be removed and or deleted.  So I tried to delete my old version myself without success it won't let me.
    I've run out of options and am not completely fustrated.
    I have itunes on my desktop, my iphone4, my ipod and in my car. 
    Anyone have any clue how I can resolve this problem?

  • ITunes-Won't upgrade, can't removed old version, can't add new version,etc

    I just bought a new Ipod yesterday, 30GB Photo/Video. I connected my Ipod however it was not responding to the old version of iTunes which I had, this is when the problems started.
    1st. I tried to update my iTunes, I tried with the new disc which came with my Ipod and also from the internet. I tried running and saving the program - both times I received a Error Msg as following:
    Error 1406. Followed by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    2nd. I tried to remove my old version of my iTunes to see if I could then use the CD to add the new version, however when I tried to do so I got this Error Msg:
    Error 1402. Could not open key: followed once again by some numbers and letters as well as: Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
    Followed by Error: -1603 Fatal error during installation
    Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information.
    Seems like I've tried everything to install, update, and even delete my old version of iTunes to try and get the new version, nothing seems to help. I never had this problem before with my old Ipod, but I'm ready to switch over to my new one. SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!
    Thank you

    I tried following the steps in the Troubleshooting, however I cannot complete them all as I cannot remove the older version of my iTunes from my computer.
    I've emptied my Temp directory and restarted with the same result.
    One thing I noticed is I cannot seem to find my Windows installer anywhere on my computer. Could this be a problem?
    I've turned off my fire wall, turned off my anti virus program, and updated my computer all with the latest updates.
    I've tried placing the program in different locations to see if this would work, but no such luck.
    This is what I receive when I try to add the new iTunes from the CD:

  • Family hates 1.9 - how can we get old version back?

    We live in Mass and got IMG 1.9 two days ago.  We can't stand it.
    We find the guide and DVR menu is much harder to read;  the changed colors and format make it difficult to see at a distance.
    And its much slower.  We can't click through the guide channels like the previous version.  Move of the button presses are ignored, and we can no longer hold it down to quickly scroll through the whole list.
    And when using the guide to switch channels, it often disables the volume control after switching the channel. So after going to a new channel we're stuck with whatever volume it has!
    I spoke with Tech Support and they did a box "reset" which made no difference.  Apparently they've heard many complaints but can't do anything about it.
    In a nutshell, we used to be very satisfied but now my whole family hates it, and we're considering changing providers.
    I didn't ask for this so-called upgrade and want the old version back.  Can someone advise on how to get it back?

    we should at least be able to change the colors the blue background really makes it hard to read quickly

  • Where can I get old version itunes

    Where can I get an older version of itunes for imac. A newer version seems to have disabled the old version and the library (is now created by a newer version" so I can't access the music via itunes at all. I have gone into HD/Library/Receipts and removed anything that has itunes in the title of a pkg as suggested in a previous discussion. I just want to get back to the old version!
    thanks in anticipation...Jan

    Hi Lulus_dad,
    I agree and it wassn't even me that updated! Perhaps apple should warn you that the update will seriously ruin your enjoyment if you  click yes!
    I was wondering if there was some way I could copy them to the ipad but the operating systems are so far apart that they don't seem to want to work together either. My ipad is not recognised as an ipad, but a camera. bluetooth will find the ipad but ipad won't find the imac!
    There has just got to be some workaround.

  • How can I prevent old version of Lightroom startup

    When I startup my Windows XP system my old version of Lightroom -- 1.4.1 -- opens automatically. I use a later version of Lightroom -- 3.4.1. -- and would like neither version to open automatically. How can I achieve this?
    Wendell

    Wendell,
    There's a system utility msconfig that (among other things) lets you have some control over what gets run at startup.
    You can run it from the "Start/Run..." button.
    Hmmm...early versions of Lightroom used to have a separate program that started up with the system and waited for you to insert a card with pictures on it, at which point it would fire up Lightroom. The name was apdproxy.exe . It could be that there's something plugged into a USB port that is triggering that. Removing it from starting by running msconfig, would probably solve your problem. Look for it in the Startup tab.

  • Where can I find old version for ipad

    cuz my ipad is not update,
    i want to use old version.
    where can i find it?

    Apple does not distribute older versions of apps. They are not available from the App store and you cannot install apps from other sources unless you are a developer. If previously had an older version in a backup you can restore an older version from your backup.

  • Install update of itunes -won't let me because it can't delet old version

    Help!!! I have been doing fine with itunes until recently. I went to update the version and got an error message that it couldn't update because the older version could not be deleted. I went to control panel and tried to remove the itunes that was there. I couldn't. It said to talk to software person. Can anyone help me? I can't access itunes AT ALL now. The files are there but cannot be accessed. PLEASE HELP!!!! Thank you

    OMG! I am so glad I am not the only person having this problem. I have been trying to figure this out for 2 weeks now. I followed all the steps to remove Quicktime and the old version of itunes. I also went in manually to remove the apple software update in the regedit, it stills says it can't be removed when I try to install new itunes.
    I can't use any of my ipods now. I CAN NOT WAIT for someone to help us with this issue.
