I cant open a document saved in Numbers

Please help me! I cant open a document that I saved in Numbers as it says "could not be open" Why is this happening?

Quit the app.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ iCloud ▹ Documents & Data: Off
Relaunch the app. There will be a delay before your documents stored in iCloud reappear.

  • I can no longer open pages and I cant open any documents saved as pages. What can I do?

    Suddenly, I can no longer open my pages documents and I keep getting an error message, stating that the document could be corrupted. I can also no longer open pages itself. I am a bit of a technophobe and have no idea what to do. I have tried restarting and that has done nothing? Help!!

    My recommendation would be to check for updates (Apple menu > Software Update). If there are no updates for Pages, you should try uninstalling then reinstalling Pages.

  • Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

    Hi Colourdoodles,
    Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
    If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
    Regards,

  • Cant open iWork documents on iCloud

    Hi guys,
    I am running mountain lion 10.8.2, I put a few documents up into iCloud when 10.8 was released and they were working just fine, now cannot open a few numbers & pages documents.
    I have 5 pages documents saved in iCloud, 2 docs I can open (the doc preview has the text) and 3 others I cant open (these have the pages icon as the preview) I have found the same issue in numbers.
    I have unticked the documents option in the settings, let all the documents delete and then reticked it with no success.
    I also went to the iCloud website and tried to download it from there and it says "Document cant be downloaded, please try again"
    Tried dragging it onto my desktop from pages and get this “Document name” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork. I'm on pages 4.2 the latest version according to the app store.
    I also logged onto my MBP at home and couldn't open the documents either.
    I certainly hope this is fixable!!!!

    Any progress on the 'copy your Time Machine backup' version of this issue? I started getting these errors 12 hours into a 24 hour copy… and eventually the copy failed.
    Funny, I had the same symptoms, 12 hours into a 24 hour copy, too. (example below)
    “D705B42B-AB04-4C16-9887-922B8A083A8E” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork.
    The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
    The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8062).
    What I noticed was that, despite following HT5096 correctly, I was not asked to enter Admin password at the beginning of the copy. I run in Admin all the time, and Disk Utility asked me for Admin password and Finder asked me for Admin password when I unchecked ignore ownership.
    I'm VERY interested in why the copy process believes it's CONVERTING these iWork documents. And naturally I'm running what App Store tells me is the latest iWork.
    Previously, I'd always just started another backup on new drives… I guess I'll be doing that in future too, as the well meaning HT wasted 12 hours. Sadly, I don't seem to be able to submit feedback on the HT, either.
    I posted these comments to a newer discussion, more specific, but not much activity.

  • Cant open pages documents

    Hi.  I have installed the newest version of pages, but there is still an error message when i try to open files. It says that I cant access my document until I purchase the new version of pages.
    These documents are important and I cant open them.
    Frustrated!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    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 over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Since updating ios6 i now cant open excel documents sent on my email?

    why cant i open excell documents sent via email since doing io6 update??

    CB,
    When you upgrade the Numbers app, the old version is not deleted. It is your responsibility to assure that you are using the one you want and need. Don't be too hasty in assuming that you are being somehow cheated either. The old version of Numbers is far better than the newer one, except for a few improvements to cross-platform compatibility in the "upgrade".
    Look in Applications for Numbers 3 and in Applications > iWork for Numbers 2.

  • Can't open a document saved as a text file

    I recently saved a document as a text file because I wanted to send it to some Windows users. Now, a few days latter when I try to open the document it is in code/ASCII thereby unreadalbe. I had one of the people I sent it to send it back to me, which he did with a .doc extension. I cannot open it either. I don't have Word. Is there anyway I can open this document. And . . what am I doing wrong so I don't do this again.
    Also if this topic has already been address please excuse me. My search didn't bring up anything. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You shouldn't have a problem opening a text file, but there are a couple of things that could be causing a problem. First, make sure the AppleWorks 6 application is in the AppleWorks 6 folder in Applications and that the folder also contains the AppleWorks Essentials folder. In the AppleWorks Essentials folder is a folder named Translators. I the application & the translators are not in the same AppleWorks 6 folder, they won't be able to "make a connection." This may also let you open a .doc file, but I can't guarantee it as Microsoft has made significant changes in the last couple of years causing AppleWorks' .doc translator to fail.
    Also, try adding .txt to end of the file name. This will let OS X identify the file as text &, if nothing else, will allow TextEdit to open it.

  • I suddenly cant open Pages Document.

    So, I'm faced with a sudden problem. I cant open any pages documents. When I try, there is no error message, the pages application opens just fine, but the document itself does not open. When I tried to send the document through gmail, it said that it was zero bytes, so it could not be attached. I am running pages 5.5.2, and osx yosemite. I updated my software within the last two weeks. I don't know when the document was last editied exactly, but I know it was after the updates were made. When I first started trying to open this document, Pages told me there was an update, and I ignored it, thinking that I would do it later. However, I tried to go to the App store to see the update just now, and there was none to be found.

    Please select one of the problem documents in the Finder and open the Info window. What is the file size?

  • Cant open pdf documents attached to an email

    Hi All,
    Since updating Adobe reader to Version 9 I am unable to open any pdf documents attached to emails (outlook express). If I want to open the documents I have to first save the attachments to a different location eg My documents, and then go to that location to open them. If I try to open the pdf in the email the following message is displayed "Do you want to open this File?" after clicking yes the following message comes up "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this function. Create an association in the folder options control panel"
    PDF is already in the folder options
    Any ideas?
    Toni

    Thanks. I disabled Protected Mode, and I was able to open the pdf attachment. Just to make sure, I enabled it and then disabled it again, and when I tried to open the attachment, it did as before – Adobe Reader (Not Responding) and Internal Error message. Tried it several more times, (enable and then disable Protected Mode) and each time, Adobe Reader wouldn’t launch (Not Responding, Internal Error).

  • Cant open pages document in newest version of the program (says to open in the newest version even though I have updated it)?

    After update to yosemite, I can't open some of my pages documents in the latest version of pages - when I try to open the documents, it says to update to the latest version but I have already done this? Any suggestions on how to solve this?

    What steps have you taken to troubleshoot the problem?
    Did you reboot your router at home - unplug if from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again?
    Did you try Forgetting the Network and try to Rejoin? Settings>WiFi>Tap the blue arrow next to your network name>Forget this Network. Restart the iPad and then go back to Settings>WiFi>Tap your network name, enter your password and the tap Join.
    Did you try Resetting Network Settings? Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings and start all over again?

  • I cant open pages documents on my ipad that i created with my mac

    When i create a document on my Mac, and try to open it on my iPad I get a message "Document couldn't be imported." What is going on? I thought that iCloud was supposed to allow me to use Pages across all my Apple devices. Is this an iOS specific problem, or is it just a problem with iWork on iCloud problem?
    Is anyone having the same problem?

    Gail, you are wonderful! That solved the problem. My Keynote docs are now downloading, and the docs I created with Pages on my Mac now open on the Mini.
    Muuahh!

    Do you have "Documents and Data" checked in iCloud on both the Mac and the device?
    If you do, then try resetting your iPad (nothing will be lost) and trying again: Hold down both the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if you can open your document.

  • HT204365 Unable to open PDF document saved on ibooks.

    Saved a downloaded pdf document on iBooks, and now I am unable to open it. The original is NLA so redownloading is not an option.
    Any way to recover the document? Any recommendations are welcome.

    PDF files should be forward compatible, but not backward compatible. Thus, AA5 PDFs should still be fine. If there is a problem, it is likely they have been corrupted. You can open the PDF in a text editor (such as notepad) and look at how it starts. It should be something like "%PDF-1.4" where the %PDF-1.4 at the beginning provides the version number. If you do not see this form of the first 8 characters, then you do not have a PDF or the PDF is corrupt. The latter could happen depending on the manner in which you transferred the file to view. DO NOT Save the file from the editor.
    A common mistake is to post PDFs with FTP using ascii. Unfortunately, only the 1st 8 characters are necessarily ascii and the rest may be binary -- the issue that messes up many e-mail programs that only check the first few characters for the ascii nature.
    Hopefully that gives some thoughts of use.
