I Have opened and closed ... Shut down and started ... Need some help it contains critical info

@Nkcohen:
"Then move the old version into trash. (The old version is still availabe under iWork 09."
Not while it's in the Trash, and definitely not after you've then emptied the Trash.
You can leave both versions in the Appications folder, and both versions' icons in the Dock. And you definitely should leave them until you have some experience with the new version and what it won't do that the '09 version will.

Numbers spreadsheet will not open in Windows 8 Metro

When I tap or double-tap on a Numbers for iCloud spreadsheet in Windows 8.1 using Internet Explorer in Metro mode, nothing happens. Other buttons work. Long-pressing brings up the contextual menu, and the items in that menu work. I can even change the name of the spreadsheet, but I can't open the dang thing--any of them.
What gives?

Numbers documents will not open it says "will not open during numbers update"

My numbers documents will not open. I keep getting a message telling me my documents will not open while numbers is updating. I have the latest numbers update already downloaded.

open the application "Launchpad":
then click, and hold, on the icon for "Numbers", once the icons start to shake, click the "X" in the top left to remove. Now click anywhere on the desktop to exit this remove/adjust mode.
Open the App Store (menu item " > App Store…")
now locate and install numbers

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.

TS2621 Pc created spreadsheet will not open on ipad

Pc created spreadsheet will not open on iPad

The app is crashing for some reason. Even though it is only flashing and will not open, it may still show up in the task bar. So try quitting Pages and then restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps.
Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

HELP...... spreadsheet will not open in Numbers

I have used numbers for years and today when I try to open a spreadsheet that was created a couple of years ago, it will not open. It just opened two days ago.... Does anyone know what is going on with Numbers? I am operating maverick and my numbers version is 3.01. Please help!

That's the usual cause. The document could have been corrupted by who-knows-what. Do you have a Time Machine backup? You might find a good copy of the document there, maybe with the last update missing.
Also, try Open With: Preview in Finder. If it opens in Preview you can see the contents and have some hope of recovery, even if only manually.

Numbers Files will not open...just hang...

Help!!
My hard drive on my MacBook crashed. I backed up all of my information daily on both a USB and external hard drive.
I transfered all the data to my PowerBook. I updated it with all the same systems as the MacBook.
I put together very sophisticated financial analyses on Numbers on my MacBook and now the ones that are larger than 600KB will not open on my PowerBook. I just get the Progress window with the blue bar about 85% across, the spinning ball and in Force Quit (Numbers not Responding).
I have emptied the caches in my home folder; I have removed the :plist in the library file for numbers; I have corrected permissions; I even re-installed iWorks - it is Numbers 1.0.2
All I want to do is one time open these files and save as Excel b/c I have done this on the smaller ones, with no problems.
These spreadsheets are the basis of a project I am working on which I cannot spend the next 2 months trying to replicate - they are for my investor package which goes out in one week!!!
I'm desperate - Apple Care has no clue; there is no expert for iWorks or Numbers...
Can someone please help me????

Hello
I'm afraid that your files are really corrupted.
My guess is that due to you original HD failure, the backups themselves where bad copies.
First thing to do:
ctrl + click on the icon of one of these documents.
In the contextual menu which will appear, select "show package contents.
You will get a folder window containing at least a folder named "Contents" and a file named "Index.xml.gz"
Try to double-click this file.
Normally, it will expand as "Index.xml"
Try to open it with TextEdit (add temporarily the ".txt" extension to its name to do that)
If it open flawlessly, I assumes that the embedded xml code is wrongly formed and I'm afraid that at this time it isn't recoverable.
I already sent to Apple a report with a sample document with this kind of behavior.
I asked them to do their best trying to revive the document but I have no news.

Downloaded office 365 and associated apps onto ipad mini. How come some excel spreadsheets will not open?

Some excel spreadsheets attached to my emails will not open on ipad. I have the excel app with 365 subscription.

Can you open them in the mail app itself? If you can't open them in the mail app, my assumption would be that they were not properly saved, named or they are just corrupt file. Files with the .xls or .xlsx extension that are properly formatted Excel files, should open in the mail app without the need for any other app. If you want to save and edit the files, then you need a compatible app in which to save them.

Numbers file will not open.

Numbers file created in older version but updated on iMac will not open on MacBook-no reason given.

I have the exact same situation. I used Numbers 3.5.2 to create a document. It is on my desktop and when I click to open it it tells me that it can't be opened because it is too old. Odd that the very program I used to create it can not open it's own document.... What??

Spreadsheets will not open with update... or without...

I went to open a spreadsheet I made about two months ago, it said it needed to be opened with the newest version of Numbers. I came here, installed the latest version of Numbers, and it still has the same error message. What the frick? Why can’t it open older files, or newer files apparently…
There seems to be SERIOUS compatibility issues. I do not have Excel, so this is my only option. Apple, please fix this. I loved this program, but now its more of a hassle than anything.

These two screen shots were taken one after another (the error message first, then the screenshot from the app store).
I installed the update from the App store, I went to the launch pad, where after it was installed, it was all sparkly (like literally so I'm fairly certain that it was the right one.) I went to file > open > the spreadsheet that I wanted, and I got the same error message.
This was before my initial message, I apologize if the original post was not clear, I didn't know what tags I was clicking, to be honest, I posted orignally from my phone.
Oddly enough, I still get the error message, and if I turn off my computer and turn it on, then it still wants me to update the software. I've done the same thing, downloading and installing the update, clicking the NEW icon that is in the apps folder, not on my dock, and I get the same loop. Immediately after that, if I go to the app store, it says that I have downloaded the most recent version, but if I restart my computer, it says I haven't. Again, this has happened three times.
I am aware that when I update, that the original doesn't go away. But it seems that the download doesn't work either. Perhaps this is an issue only with the app store?

Numbers document will not open! appears and says to try again later

no preview of document material when initially open numbers (green numbers imade instrad of spreadsheet preview)
spread sheet can not be opened try again later
any ideas how to recover my document?

If for some reason it appears in your programs, use Revo Uninstaller to fully erase it from the drive. It could also be a registry problem. I suggest using CCleaner. Both can be downloaded for free at http://ninite.com/ . Hope this helps.

If in photoshop cs4 you go Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Check both the 32 and 64 bit versions of photoshop cs4.
I just tested a couple of canon T5I (700D) files from here and they open in photoshop cs4 with camera raw 5.7 after the dng conversion using the 8.6 dng converter.

Use AOL, when signed in to mail, it will not open mail

We use AOL for e-mail. We can log on but when we click on an e-mail, it keeps saying "waiting on ##.###.### " some numbers but will not open the e-mail. This just recently started. I tried downloading the software again, but it still happens.

I had the same problem as well and finally worked it out. Maybe it could be related.

FF should open now hopefully.
From there, if your issue is the same, one by one go through add-ons you want installed, making sure to restart after each one to find the one causing issues. If FF doesn't open again, go through the steps for clean install again and don't reinstall that add-on. Once found the culprit(s) and got FF going again without reinstalling those, go about restoring your profile data to get bookmarks and so back. Best to do that last so only have to copy files over once.
That is all I know on this. Really wish I could get an answer to why it is happening as the add-on causing me issues I use constantly, prefer it over others, yet now I can't because want FF to work. Hope this helped.
