Numbers will not open folders

trying to open a folder in Numbers and keep receiving a message saying couldn't be opened. Help 

Please back up all data, then open the iCloud pane in System Preferences. If the box marked iCloud Drive is checked, click the Options... button on the same line. In the sheet that drops down, there should be a box marked with the name of the affected app. Uncheck that box and confirm. Your iCloud documents should be preserved.
Check the box again and test.

  • One of the spreadsheets in numbers will not open

    one of my spreadsheets in numbers will not open, any ideas?

    Are you speaking of pages or of tables ?
    I guess that you are speaking of tables and that yours is locked.

  • Iwork numbers will not open

    iwork numbers will not open, despite reinstalling the software. Pages & Keynote work fine. Any Ideas?

    For Lion 10.7.5: Restart holding down Command R. Click on Disk Utility. Select your HD. Select Repair Disk Permissions.
    I haven't had any problems in a long time. I'm running Pages 4.2 & Numbers 2.2.
    I don't think there's usually any need to repair permissions with Lion. There were probably some software updates that fixed the problem. I find it helps to shut the computer down at night instead of just putting it to sleep. This has eliminated some freezes I was having with both newer and older computers.

  • Numbers will not open older files

    I have Numbers '09 installed on my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion OS. Recently I went through using Migration Assistant to move apps, adat etc., to a new MBPro 13. After this I have found that Numbers will not open many of the numbers files on either the old or the new machine--the problem probably existed before the migration but I had not had to access these files for quite a while. The message I get is simply "Numbers cannot open this file" I can see the contents in Preview and I was able to use a 3rd party service to get it converted into a .cvs file and thence to Excel. Numbers will open and create new numbers files seemingly OK. I have run repair permissions but no change.
    I have seen a history of a similar problem from some time ago so I don't know if this is an old problem that has just surfaced on my machine or what.

    Hi Alex,<br /><br />Just for confirmation, have you opened the Windows share in Nautilus directly i.e. using URL of the form smb://<server-name>/<share-name>/ and then trying to open the PDF file by double-clicking?<br />If that is the case, it is a known issue.<br /><br />In the meantime, one way to open the PDF file (if you have sufficient privileges) would be to mount the SMB share, open the share (from the mount point) in Nautilus and then try to open the PDF by double-clicking?<br />Could you please try this and let us know if there are any issues with this?<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback,<br />Varun

    You should use at least Numbers 2.0.4. You can use 2.1 but it doesn't have any benefit for Snow Leopard over 2.0.4. If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

    the problem started when my computer screen broke from something falling on it, the screen was replaced but the people that fixed it for me told me there may be some hard disk issues when a problem like this happens, they ran their own checks and found nothing and i was given my laptop back, then when i tried to use it, i found this problem. everything else works fine.
    i have shutdown and re-started my computer multiple times and i have also re-started finder multiple times, both having no effect
    i have also done a few other things to find that my apple.com.finder.plist and apple.com.sidebar.plist are both missing, and are not re-creating themselves, i have found no way to bring them back either.
    any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    My itunes will not open at all - I repeatedly get the message"itunes library is corrupted...not installed correctly...please reinstall itunes" I have tried opening all my itunes folders but nothing will even open.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

  • 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.
