Numbers version 3.1 won't open Numbers file

My Customer has a recent Mac (2 months) with nothing extra installed. He uses Numbers (version 3.1) last I checked.
He works with a document several weeks. And then this morning he was unable to open the numbers file again. "You need a newever version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet".
Curiously: he mailed me the file and i cannot open his file with my Numbers v3.1.
I have looked in the Package Contents: where are the data stored b.t.w? (Maybe his file is corrupted!)
Any ideas?

Hi Stefan,
Does MacOS X retain older versions? What is the use?
Yes older versions of iWork are retained when you upgrade.  Many people find that useful, since the feature sets are different.
So make sure you File > Open with the Numbers that is in your main Applications folder, not any version that is in a subfolder.
Also bear in mind that unless you turn it off in System Preferences > iCloud, new versions are automatically downloaded. If you don't want installations without your knowledge you can turn that off.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.

  • Pages 5.0 won't open Pages files

    OK, this is weird. Since upgrading to Mavericks with the free Pages 5.0 upgrade last week, all of my Pages files have been opening in Pages 5.0 just fine -- until today. An update dialog opened today November 4 2013 around 3pm saying there was a Pages update. We proceeded with the update and now any document that was opened and saved since the Mavericks update won't open as before. Instead an error dialog box appears stating "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.". So I click "OK" and then  open the document using "Open With" and select Pages 5.0, which is now set as "default" and the file opens fine. I save the file in Pages 5.0. But the next time I go open it, it gives me the exact same stupid dialog box.
    If I open a Pages file that has not been opened since the Mavericks update, it opens in Pages 09. If I select "Open With" and select the new "default" Pages 5.0 and save it in that version, the next time I open the file I get that same stupid dialog again: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."
    What the he**? Am I going to have to use "Open With" for every single Pages 09 file that I want to open in Pages 5.0?

    I'm having a similar problem.
    Running Pages 5.1 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
    I can't open any Pages document on iCloud from my iMac, regardless of where that document was originally created (iMac, MBP, or iPad). I have tried File -> Open File... from within Pages, as well as by double-clicking the file within the iCloud folder in Finder. However, I can copy the file to my desktop via Finder, and then open it from my desktop. I can create a file in Pages on my iMac and save it to iCloud, but then I can't open it later.
    However, I can open any Pages document on iCloud from my MacBook Pro without any problem - including the ones that won't open on the iMac.

  • Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

    Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

    In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
    Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
    I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
    Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
    You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
    Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
    Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
    You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
    Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
    After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
    The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
    i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 won't open any files, not even create new ones

    I have a freshly installed version of Photoshop CC 2014 and it just won't open any single file no matter what I do.  I also have Illustrator CC 2014 installed for the past week, and it is behaving fine, and even opening up the files that Photoshop won't open (jpg, psd, png, etc.).
    I've tried uninstalling completely, and reinstalling it, and it still won't open any files.  Basically, nothing happens after I click the "Open" button from the Open File dialog window.
    I've also try resetting my user preferences using this video tutorial, and it also didn't resolve the problem: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html
    Has anyone else experienced this or can give information on how to resolve it?
    Thanks!

    Well, I finally got it to work through trial and error.  Here were the steps that I used to get it to work:
    1) Make sure that you are not behind any firewall/VPN/etc, just a direct connection to the internet (if possible).  I use Adobe for my work laptop, and I was informed that this could potentially be an issue during installation processes.
    2) Uninstall Photoshop via the Creative Cloud application interface.
    3) Right-click on the Creative Cloud icon from the system tray and "Quit" (it was automatically started for me from a previous bootup)
    4) Right-click on the Creative Cloud desktop icon and choose "Run As Administrator"
    5) Re-install Photoshop
    After performing the above steps, I can now open any png/jpg/gif/etc file, as well as start a new file.  I have no clue why it works or if my steps played any role in fixing it, but I thought it was worth sharing for others to try if they encounter a similar issue.  It could be either the firewall I was behind, or the permissions (I don't think Creative Cloud boots up running as administrator).  But I am in no position to say I know the exact resolution.  Hope this helps!

  • Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii

    Bridge won't open raw files from my canon mark iii?  Are you kidding adobe? This camera has been out for over six months. Why isn't it loaded into the program? This camera is sooo main stream!

    What Mark III?
    Are you referring to the Canon EOS 1D Mark III or the Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
    And what version of Adobe software are you referring to?
    There definitely is support for the EOS 1D Mark III in in versions of the Creative Suite dating back several versions. Support for the EOS 5D Mark III was made available in an update to Creative Suite 6 and Lightroom 4.x.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.

  • Installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files. Why?

    I just recently installed iWork '09 on MacBook running OSX 10.7.2 and Pages won't open .doc files.
    I did a search looking for a solution in the forums and here are the actions I've taken:
    1) Made sure the files were't read/write protected.
    2) Restarted the computer.
    3) Made sure all the program files were in the correct folder.
    4) Reinstalled the program.
    Pages won't read .doc files that were originally Pages files and exported as .docs
    It also won't read .doc files that were created using a relatively recent version of Office.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
    Please help.

    If it's a doc created with the late Office 2011, it's not really surprising.
    The importer embedded in iWork application was delivered in january 2009 and didn't evolve.
    For this reason, it's unaware of new features delivered with Office 2011.
    Better try with LibreOffice.

  • How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?

    How come pages won't open PDF files made by Pages?
    I have files I made with Pages and exported as PDF but I can't open them with pages to edit?
    Also, where are the recent files created by pages located? Can't find those to open either..

    Hi Tom,
    I was delighted when I signed up for Pages. Clunky yes, but it worked. I've been a graphic designer on a Mac for 25 plus years and have logged too many horror stories of "upgrade" wars which cost me massive lost time, data and money forcibly extracted just so I could finish a project.
    When I first used Pages in April of 2012? or there about, I was able to open Word documents exported to .pdf format, emailed to me, which I then dragged into Pages. I could make the changes I needed to make, export as a .pdf, return it back to my client which they could then edit on whatever it was they were using. I'm not a neophyte with this. I've had Original Photoshop as a stand alone, Quark (which locked users out 6 months after I purchased it.) Quark again, Freehand, Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop again, Creative Suite for several upgrades, Acrobat Pro. 2 years ago I lost 6 years of Quicken data and had to and "upgrade" start over. This last go around I  had to "upgrade" my Apple ID - yes I had 2 on purpose, lost my Pandora One and my ability to get into the Tulsa County Library website.
    At this point, I'm retired and feel like what I've paid for in the past should WORK today. I have a 100+ page cookbook in Quark which I was able to export as a .pdf, that I've lost the tags too, Easier to start over. I have artwork that is hundreds of megs in Photoshop. Not the least bit interested in anybody's "cloud".
    Thanks for letting me vent. I'm determined to keep my equipment and software up to date so I can enjoy the skills I've acquired, but I completely cringe at Apple's antics. I truly hate it when I have to respond to some new "tip" or product offer. BooHiss. Happy Turkey Day. Pages is a "turkey" program.
    Best regards, mbd

  • Pages 5.1 won't open previous files in iCloud.

    Updated Pages today to 5.1. Now, when I open Pages and choose a file to open that is in iCould, the file won't open. Pages seems to open files on my Mac.
    Pages '09 won't open then files stored on iCould either. Pages 5.1 gives me an error message saying the file cannot be opened. Pages '09 gives no message; it just won't open the file.
    If I drag the file from the iCloud window in Pages to my desktop, the file will open. Looks like a bug to me.
