I can't open my numbers spreadsheet on my Mac, from iCloud

I save my numbers spreadsheets to icloud as I need to access them on the go.
Now that I have turned my Mac off and back on, I can't access any of my numbers spreadsheets from icloud.
When I try to open one I get an error message that says "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet."
I have the latest version.
This happened a few weeks ago, and was eventually sorted when another update came through for numbers for my Mac.
But this time I waited for the updated to catch up with Australia, but I still can't open them.
I can however access then by sharing the document via icloud, but I can't use it in numbers on my Mac, and I cant save it to my Mac.
Does anyone have any tips?

It sounds like you may have mre than one version of Numbers installed on your Mac. and that the older one is attempting to open these files.
If you were previously using Numbers '09, and upgraded to Numbers 3, the older version will still be on the Mac, enclosed in a folder named iWork '09, found in your Applications folder.
Numbers 3 will also be in the Applications folder, but not enclosed in another folder.
The two versions have different feature sets, and I would caution against removing the earlier version before ensuring that any features you have been using and that you need are supported in Numbers 3. Both versions can coexist on the same machine (and according to reports, can both be running at the same time).
To ensure that you are launching the newer version, make sure you have it's icon on the Dock, and that you use that icon to start the launch. The icons for the two versions are similar—both are vertical bar graphs in 3D format. The difference is in the number of bars—three for Numbers '09 and four for Numbers 3. Once you ahve launched the needed version, use File > Open (or File > Recent items) to locte and open the file.

Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so? Help?

There is a chance the spreadsheets were made with a Numbers or AppleWorks version so old that it's not compatible anymore with the latest Numbers version (yes this can happen)

Can't open older Numbers spreadsheet

Bought a new Macbook Pro. Now trying to open an old numbers spreadsheet and it's telling me "This spreadsheet can’t be opened because it’s too old. To open it save it in Numbers '09 first' The new Macbook Pro is showing version '08. How do I open this older version?

Hi warmbeaches,
What version of OS X are you running? Apple menu > About This Mac
**Do not delete Numbers '08, Numbers '09 or Numbers 3 if they are on your machine! **
You might need them!
All versions will run happily together.
Try App Store to update all versions of Numbers (Numbers '08, Numbers '09 or Numbers 3) to the versions that will work on your current OS X. Previous releases will not be replaced. They will be moved to a sub-folder within your Applications folder. They won't disappear.
Have a look here at this User Tip by Wayne:
Need newer version of Numbers to open file
Numbers 3 (if you have that on your new machine) will not (and can not) open a Numbers '08 document.
Be sure which version of Numbers is trying to open a document.
In Finder, Right Click (or control click) and Open With

Ian.

How can I format my Numbers spreadsheet into a PDF file

How can I change my Numbers spreadsheet into a PDF format so that people to whom I send it can open it on their PC?

You can also "share" via iCloud.
The recipient can view it (and edit it, unless you specify read only) using a modern browser on a Mac or PC. The recipient does not need to have an iCloud account..

Hi Jeannie ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Select the Edit button next to: User names and passwords. If you see the url for that credit union website, delete it. If not, it's ok.
Now open Keychain Access located in /Applications/Utilities. Select Passwords on the left.
Type in the name of the credit union website in the search field on the right then right or control click that keychain then click Delete.
Back to Safari. Navigate to the credit union site. Login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keyhain. Click yes.

Can't open my numbers document!

I haven't been able to open my numbers spreadsheet with my budget on it for a week now. this is the message i get.
please help!!
I've tried duplicating the document. I've tried sending it so myself and exporting it every different way, but nothing works. I don't know what to do.

Hi Sailor,
It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better. For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up. The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser.

When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser. and worse all the letters appear out of format and unreadable.
Is there any option that i'm getting wrong
How can we solve this.
Usualy we use Google drive documents to share some spreadsheets, but we wanted to share the same document with numbers (that's much better) but it doesn't work as easily as in google drive and doesn't even remotely works how it was supposed.

Don't know why those letters wouldn't display properly; maybe something to do with their settings at Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Default Encoding or similar setting in whatever browser they are using. But it's really easy for them to download the document via the "wrench" in the Numbers for iCloud menu. Then they can open it in the Numbers app.
For "real-time" collaboration, I think you all need to be accessing Numbers for iCloud via the browser.

For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software) Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3 Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3 You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click.

Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.
