Numbers can't open file says index.xmlfile missing

Was working on my files this morning. Now I cannot open them it says the documents are invalid and that the index.xml file is missing. I need to retrieve these documents.

Hi segars,
Adding to Sparkleberry's reply,
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
Need newer version of Numbers to open file
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.5.2 on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.

  • Can't open file "~/sites/index.html." in iWeb09

    I have been searching through posts and I have noticed some that are very similar to this question, but are not exactly related. My domain file worked fine before upgrading to iWeb09. Now I get the error: can't open file "~/sites/index.html." Has anyone found a way to import the iWeb08 domain file into version 09?
    Nice job Apple! How can you release a product that does not correctly import or update the file from the previous version(s)? There is no way that you could have missed this in testing...

    You will never be able to open this file with iWeb, because, as it states it is a User/Sites/index.html file and iWeb cannot open this files - anything with html on the end of it is already published and iWeb cannot open this. It is not the same as your domain file.
    Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and try opening your domain file, rather than something that is already published. iWeb cannot import - at least not published pages.

  • IWeb Can't open file "~/Sites/index.html."

    when trying to either launch iWeb or open one of my web pages - I get an iWeb dialog box that states "Can't open file "~/Sites/index.html."
    any advice?

    Hello Felicia,
    iWeb is not capable of opening "HTML" files iWeb will only open a ".sites2" file type which is an iWeb domain file type. I would suggest doing a search for ".sites2" on your computer

  • Suddenly can't open files says need newer version

    I was using muse fine this morning.. then just about 30 minutes later went to open same file and get message saying needs newer version and please update to newest version.  I have the latest and even uninstalled/reinstalled and let update to below
    v3.2 Build 2 Cl 772925
    and still get same message.  Again, I was just working on the exact same file this am.  Weird thing is I can create a new site, just won't let me work on the exact same file I was working on earlier today.
    Ideas?

    Hello,
    Could you please provide us your .muse file so that we can have try to open it at our end and check for the issues?
    Please email it to [email protected] If your file is greater than 20mb you can use something like Adobe SendNow or SendThisFile.
    Please do not forget to mention link to this forum in your e-mail so that we can identify the file.

    What I done to try resolve this problem:
    1. Checked permissions and repaired.
    2. Tried to open file in iCloud web-editor - no result. iCloud says that it can't open this spreadsheet.
    3. Tried to convert file via some online file type converters to xls document (i will not put link here). Converter says that I have wrong file format.
    Also I tried to open file in some other programs. No luck.
    That's all.
    File Work.numbers has been closed correctly and was no errors. Unfortunately, we have no any backup copy of this file anywhere. I know, this is stupid, but question now: How can I repair this document? Is any repair tools for iWork files?
    The file seems like has right structure.
    iTrancemind # ls -la Work.numbers/

    Unzipping Index.zip is passing without errors. It has many "iwa" files with binnary content and I can't get data from it. But, data in that file is very important for one person.
    Could anybody help me to resolve my problem to restore Numbers document?

    Hi rabg,
    I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
    Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.

  • How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying "Can't open file" etc., etc. I've tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    How do I reinstall iWeb 3.0.3?  I inadvertently opened an html file of my website and tried to open it with iWeb '09. I get a message saying “Can’t open file” etc., etc. I’ve tried reinstalling the updated version. Iweb will not open.

    Delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. Then launch iWeb and see if it opens. 
    What happened was trying to open the html file reset the file path that iWeb saves in its preference file to tell it where to go when you launch iWeb.  Deleting the pref file and launching iWeb creates a new file and iWeb looks in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder for the Domain.sites2 file it uses to create your site.

  • When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can't open file "~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html." How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion.

    When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.

    Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites.  If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
    If there is no Domain file there do the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Help! Whenever I try to open one important file on icloud pages it says 'can't open file' - on my computer and ipod, too! Can I retrieve it?

    I have a very important document and it is saved only o the icloud (which I thought would be fine). Only now, whenever I try to open it it gives me the message 'can't open file'. I'm a PhD student, and that file represents a lot of work for me. I did it on the ipad because I had to travel, and now I'm kicking myself. I need that file! Is there any way to get it back?

    Thanks for your suggestion - I have tried that like 50 times (I was feeling the desperation and thought if I reset enough times it would do it), and I have also tried turning off and on the cloud, adding .pages to the filenames, downloading (didn't work) emailing to myself (did work, wouldn't open). When I looked at the package contents of the file, it did not have a file for content in it - or not one I can find. I'm afraid that it's lost the content within the file (though I don't now how it could!).
    I've not had any joy with anything else I have read online. I think it's a more knotty problem than a simple off/on again job!

  • After o download the browser ,i get message that says can not open file what do i need to do to download the browser i have tried 5 times get same message

    its the same shit i asked before after i download the browser i get message can not open file what do i do to dwonload the browser

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • My iWeb can't open. A sign comes up and says:"Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2." Help?

    I love iWeb. It has many advantages over on-line web-builders, but finding help is not easy.
    My iWeb just stopped working. When I try to open it, a sign comes up "Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
    Can anyone help we fix this error and get back to work?

  • Can't open files in iCloud

    Just recently, I haven't been able to open files stored in iCloud using either Pages or Numbers. When I try with either application, I get an error message saying, e.g.,  "The file “Wines.pages” couldn’t be opened." What can I do to fix that?

    Possibly 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.

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.
