I cannot open this spreadsheet:  runninglog.xltx.cpgz  how do i open it?

I installed Templates for MS Office.  I want a spreadsheet for my workouts.  How do I open runninglog.xltx.cpgz
Thanks.

First you will need to unarchive the file.  It is in a compress CPIO archive format.  The Mac can't handle that natively, and neither can Office, libreoffice or openoffice.  You will need to get a tool that will work with this.  I did some cusory investigation for you and found that some folks have used an app called "The Unarchiver" which is a free app from the app store.
Once you have unarchived the file, you will have a .xltx (xml formatted template file for Excel).  The office suites mentioned should then work for you.

    If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
    Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

  • I've a very important document which I can't open anymore: You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I've a very important document which I can't open anymore: You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I figured out that it doesn't matter, actually it is Qsync, but other prgrams such Sugar Sync  create teh same problem
    The sync program adds a suffix to the files insite the numbers container
    When looking at the files inside the Numbers file/folder, I saw this (note: Alphonse is the name of my computer):

    I renamed the files to remove the suffix, like this:

    That fixed the problem and the file now opens correctly in Numbers 3.
    You can take the numbers file into a windows machin, the file is shown as a folder and then remive teh suffix.
    and like magic the file can then be opend  in Numbers V3.1

  • You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I currentlyhave Numbers '09.  When I try and open any older numbers file I get this message.  "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet."  My updates are current.  Any ideas on what to do?

    It's quite easy to open up Numbers, ask it "about Numbers" up in the bar, and it's quite clearly running 3.0.1.
    I'm not a n00b computer user by any stretch. What's happening here makes no sense. Two days ago myself (and apparently a lot of people) could open up our files just fine in Numbers 3, which apparenlty was updated on my computer in mid-October. Then for no reason whatsoever, those same files won't open.
    For no reason I can discern either, some of my files will open, and some won't. Two files, for example, I open nearly every day. One of them opens today, the other doesn't. They are clones of each other, so the structure & formulas are the same, but the data differs. Why will one open and the other not? It makes no rational sense.
    Also, I only tested using Numbers 2.3 to see if other (older) files would open. Obviously, a document converted to a newer version of Numbers, isn't backwards compatible. So I'm not attempting to open my regular files using an old version of Numbers, since that's clearly not going to work. 
    I can open old files, and they pop right up in Numbers 3. It asks me to upgrade the files in order to save them.
    Again, the problem is that for some inexplicable reason, files that opened two days ago in Numbers 3, will no longer open in Numbers 3.
    I have opened up Numbers 3 directly and tried to open these files. Nope.
    I have right clicked on the file in the Finder and told it to open it with Numbers 3. Nope.
    I have double checked the last day I used the file (in this case, December 30) to make sure I'm not looking at the wrong file. Opens? Nope.
    I opened the other file (the clone) and it opens. Then I try to open the file in question using either "open" or "open recent", and...Nope.
    I have reinstalled Numbers 3. Opens? Nope.
    I have tried to open many files, and some open and some don't.
    I have made sure my file names don't have any weird extension on the end, like ".dorkedupfile" or something.
    I have renamed the file and removed ".numbers" on the end of the file. Nope.
    I put it back. Nope.
    Sigh.

  • You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet.

    Running Safari Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) on MacBook Pro with Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C109).
    I have one spreadsheet in Numbers on iCloud.com. I do not have Numbers installed on my Mac, I just use Numbers (Beta) on the iCloud.com website. I don't need nor want Numbers installed locally on my Mac for my purposes. I made this spreadsheet when I first installed Yosemite, a couple months ago.
    This morning, I edited the spreadsheet, then tapped on the margin to clear the editing tools. The spreadsheet saved. I closed it, and saw that it updated the date in Numbers on iCloud.
    This evening, I restarted my Mac, restarted Safari, logged in on iClout and went to Numbers. I noted that the time was correct, but the spreadsheet name was corrupted. I tried to open it, and got a message: "You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet."
    Well, that is hogwash. I have one Apple ID and one iCloud ID. I am already signed into the iCloud.com account via Safari and the correct username is displayed.
    I logged out, cleared Safari cache, quit Safari, then went back on. Same problem, spreadsheet name was corrupted and the message popped up when I tried to open it.
    I have done some searching and have found some others who had a similar problem, yet no answers.
    Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix?

    Hey FatFingerDan,
    It looks like you were accessing iCloud around Mar 11, 2015.
    Is it working now?  There were some system issues last Wednesday. You can check System Status at

  • I upgraded to the new Numbers, but when I try to open an edited spreadsheet, I get this: "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet. You can download the latest version of Numbers from the Mac App Store." Help!

    When I check for upgrades, my computer "No updates available" and says "OS X Update Version 10.9.2 installed Mar 9, 2014."
    When I go to the app store to get the new Numbers, it says "installed". 
    I shut down and rebooted my computer, but I still get the message that says I need new Numbers to open the spreadsheet that I want to open. I can open other spreadsheets, those all work.  I just can't open the one I want.  Please help. I need the data on that spreadsheet TODAY!!!

  • When I click on the Nightly Windows 8 Start Screen icon it opens the Firefox 18 on desktop, how do I open Nightly on Metro?

    Nightly was working on metro at first when I haven't installed Firefox 18 yet but when I installed Firefox 18 and thought it would run on metro if I set it as a default program which did not, opening nightly both on the desktop and start screen would open the firefox in the desktop instead.
    I uninstalled Nightly and downloaded and installed the version 20 for 32 bit. When I looked on the default programs to set Nightly all I could see is Nightly on the list but the icon has changed to that of Firefox's. I set it as default and still it doesn't open as metro.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    This is because the regular central Nightly channel builds is only the desktop version. The version on Nightly development channel is at 21.0a1 now actually.
    You need a build that has Metro support.
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-elm/
    Many users state they cannot get Metro version to work on 32-bit Windows anyways.
    There is this running thread at mozillaZine about the Metro builds. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2304983

  • I have Numbers 2.3 installed on my IMac and have created several spreadsheets when I try to open the latest one I get a message "You need a newer version to open this spreadsheet. Do have to buy the new one and will it work with my OS - 10.8.5?

    Do I have to purchase the new Numbers to replace my version 2.3 in order to open spreadsheets already created? Will the new version work with my OS  -  10.8.5?

  • When I open Firefox a screen comes up that says register for "Inbox". I do not want to. I cannot deleate this and cannto figure out how to uninstall. Is it possible that I could speak with a live person that can help me.

    I would like to delete the "inbox" screen from coming up when I open Firefox. I might help if I could speak with a person.

    Hello BassoonPlayer,
    Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using.  FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in.  This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly.  By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you.  Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

  • Opening Smart Objects with AppleScript.  How do I open the inner PSD with applescript with a smart object?

    I have a PSD or a PSB.  I need to be able to open all of the smart objects in the file so that i can get to the inner psd files so i can pull data from those.  Is this possible?  If not it definitely should be.  Thank you very much.  I am on a mac and will be using applescript.

    You will NOT be able to do this directly with the model exposed to the AppleScript Dictionary…
    You may be able to dig deeper in to PS with Action Manager code…
    You can record this by using the scriptlistener plug-in…
    As far as AppleScript is concerned this is JavaScript so just pass it to the do javascript command

  • The target cannot open this type of file

    I have a new laptop with windows 8.1 and when I try to extract the first tutorial file, I get the message 'The target cannot open this type of file'.  How do I deal with this?

    You can choose Other...from the open with menu. This will allow you to browse you applications folder for a different app to open the file with. Preview.app sounds like the best bet for you since you want to see the file quickly & not wait for an image editor to load.
    Another option would be to control or right click on the file or a choose a number of files by command clicking on the files you want to see & choose slideshow from the contextual menu. This function can also be accesses from the gear icon at the top of the Finder window. This will allow you to view your photos in a slideshow manner (one at a time) or see them all at once (in an Expose manner). You can also send them directly to iPhoto from here.
    To change which application opens your jpeg files select the file & command or right click & choose get info from the contextual menu. Near the middle of the get info window there is an option that says Open With: Choose an application from the drop down menu or choose other to browse for the application of your choice that will open the jpeg file. If you want your chosen application to always open these types of files select Change All. Once the file is selected the get info window can also be accessed from the file menu or by pressing command I.
