Numbers won't update

I'm running Numbers 3.0.1 on Mavericks, and each time I open it, it tells me there is an update available, yet when I click through to the store, it doesn't appear. Other than paying another £13.99 (no thanks!) I can't work out what to do.
I'm having the same problem with Pages (5.0.1) and at the moment can only seem to access anything on my iPad.
Can you help please?
Thanks

Hi Roger,
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
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 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document. Do not uninstall Numbers 2. You might need it!
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.

Chart pasted into Keynote (from Numbers) won't update. Please help.....

When i copy a chart from Numbers 09 and paste into Keynote 09, it won't update (if i make a change in Numbers). It's the same problem if i try and paste a chart into Pages also. Any advice (i've tried the usual solutions)???

This is the procedure for charts:
Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Keynote
presentation. After it’s been pasted into Keynote, the chart remains linked to the data
tables it references in Numbers.
To change the chart data, open the original Numbers
document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the
chart data in Keynote.
To update a chart after you’ve updated its data in its linked Numbers table:
mm Select the chart on the slide canvas and click the Refresh button that appears.
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart
into your Keynote presentation and after editing the Numbers data tables that the
chart references.

Pages, keynotes and numbers won't update

Hi All,
I'm hoping somebody can help. I purchased a macbook air in september 2012 with pages, numbers and keynotes preinstalled. I received a notification of an update to them all but i cannot install the update. When I click on the update it asks me to log into the itues store which I do then it informs me that I do not own the major version of this software and that error 100 has occured. I have also tried going through the app store to no avail. Can anybody help me solve this problem please?
thanks

First, see > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4236
Then, if it doesn't work, see if you have hidden Pages, Numbers and Keynote. To unhide them > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928

Numbers won't update properly

I updated numbers to 3.5.2 but it did not remove the older versions of numbers on my 2010 Intel iMac. Even though the newest version is set as default, it still wouldn't open some files unless I right-clicked and chose the default from the pop-up menu. I attempted to delete the older versions (2.0.3 and 2.3) but after selecting and dropping one in "app delete" program, the newer version was deleted. I have been unsuccessful at deleting the older version partly I think because I am trying to exclude files that are still on my computer that were created with the older version however now I cannot open some of those files. I have attempted to upgrade again to the 3.5.2 version but after checking for updates, it tells me none available.
Could someone please tell me how I can get the program to properly upgrade and install 3.5.2 while removing the older versions and keeping the older files?

Hi daibrahim,
This has nothing to do with the old version (Numbers'09). I suggest you keep it as it has better layout and print features. I use Numbers '09 and Numbers 3 running happily at the same time. Just be sure which version opens a document.
To delete an app, go to Launchpad and hold down the option key. When the icons jiggle, click on the X top left of Numbers 3. Go to the App Store and check again for updates.
Regards,
Ian.

Numbers won't update and run

For last month I can't use numbers as it would it open. It happened after trying to run update. Can't close or open app, reinstall What to do?

This is confusing to a lot of people. When you downloaded the new version of Numbers the old version remained on your Mac. The new version is in Applications. The old version is in a subfolder within Applications. The icons look similar so it's easy to think you're trying to open a document with the new version whereas in fact the old version has been activated and is trying to open it.
If you tend to open documents from Finder then right-click and Open With ... Numbers.app (3.0).
Or you can open Numbers 3.0 (the one in the Applications folder, not the iWork '09 subfolder) and open the document from there.
Any icons you had on the Dock before the upgrade are of course still pointing to the old version.

Iphone 5s numbers won't update

i had 5s updates and all went thru except numbers tried and tried on 2 different wi fi's, no luck, deleted numbers and went to app store to reinstall and it wont, circle just spins and goes back to install??? i noticed during the updates even then it just said update while the others showed the circle sign, thx

Installed IOS 6.1.3 last night and to do so, had to make space on the phone as it was near full.
After that, it took a dirt nap.
I have the 4S and experienced the same "problem" documented all over these message boards. Frustrated after trying all the fixes, including a hard reboots, resets of settings, deleting apps, reinstalling apps, new apps, synching ... everything that made sense.
Finally, frustrated and wishing I owned something other than an Apple product at this moment, I decided to go back to what I did to "free up" space -- once I fixed this, the apps stopped "waiting" and started updating.
The issue was in iTunes where I had selected on my phone's settings (to be clear, this is under "Apps" in iTunes), and DESLECTED "Automatically Fill Free Space with Songs."
Solution/Issue: my guess is that the updates were spooling because there wasn't enough space to run the sync.
Thank you Apple -- for NOTHING. A simple error message "Not enough space" would have been brilliant.

Numbers spreadsheets won't update...

Numbers spreadsheets won't update to iCloud from iPad2. Anyone know the solution to this problem?

I have upgraded my Ipad to IOS 6 and now I cannot open my spreadsheet on Numbers. This is very annoying as my last back-up of this spreadsheet is rather old. I would appreciate any advice. I tried to email the spreadsheet and I also tried to open it in iCloud - can't do anything there either.

Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't update. App Store says update was applied, but when I open Pages/Number/Keynote, the version of it shows the old version.

When you updated, the old version remained on your Mac, in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09. Any icons you have on the Dock still point to that old version. Try opening the Numbers that is located in your main Applications folder, not the one in the subfolder. If that works, then drag that one to the Dock.

Won't Update Apps

The App Store says that it won't update my apps because they were bought on a different user or because it was refunded or canceled. I am trying to update Pages, iPhoto, Garage Band, iMovie, Keynote, and Numbers so they came with my computer, which is the new Macbook pro with retina display. I have never changed my iTunes account also. How do I get it to update?

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

ResultSet won't update

I'm busy trying to write a database app (first time using java.sql).
I use the jdbc:odbc bridge to connect to an Access 97 database (not my choice).
Problem is I have written few thousand lines and have dialogs that can DISPLAY the data, but when I try to UPDATE my ResultSet NOTHING HAPPENS!
Nothings is set to readOnly as far as I can see.
If I can't fix this soon I will have to use VBA (please no!) and Access instead and lose all my work.
Below are the important parts of the code
Extracts from the code...
...try { // - Makes the connection
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {System.err.println(cnfe);}
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:test");
con.setReadOnly(false);
System.out.println(con.isReadOnly());
... //creates the statements
public class MyUtilities {
public static Statement manufactureStatement(Connection con)
try {
return con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
} catch (SQLException se) {System.err.println(se);}
return null;
... // creates the RecordSets
Statement state = MyUtilities.manufactureStatement(con);
state.execute("SELECT * FROM TblCalendarEntry");
calendarEntries = state.getResultSet();
results = calendarEntries;
System.out.println(results);
Statement t = MyUtilities.manufactureStatement(con);
t.execute("SELECT * FROM TblEntertainmentSeries");
entSeries = t.getResultSet();
this.calendarEntries = calendarEntries;
this.entSeries = entSeries;
this.venues = venues;
results = calendarEntries;
... results.first();...
//HERE COMES THE CRUNCH:
//updates the values (but does not!)
...results.updateString(2, "ehehehheh"); //does nothing!!???
. ..System.out.println(results.getString(2));
//just shows old string before update????????
...results.updateRow();...
//database not updated
//no exceptions thrown!!!
Help!

What I have at the moment is approx. 3000 of beautiful database viewer. I can't update anything! Access2000 didn't make any difference. BTW do I need to use a char array to work with fields of type "text"?
My program is now utterly useless as it won't update. I can easily move backward and forward in the resultSet and display data in my dialogs.
Also if I try to update a field of type memo, getString just returns string of numbers like "23324528937" etc. but the database is not updated.
When I update a String or a Date or a Time ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happens.
GetString returns exactly what was there before I updated!
I'm sure a Java forum would not like to see me switch to Visual Basic for this project (I certainly don't want to but may be forced to).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(Hmmm maybe I should try MSQL, don't know If lecturer will like that though. (I'm a Computer Science student)

My apps won't update with my new apple id

i registered my macbook with a previous apple ID and just recently made a new one and the apps that I had downloaded with my old apple ID won't update unless I use my old apple ID which I no longer have access to..i changed my apple ID on my macbook but it still won't let me update the app...the apps I need updated are pages and numbers etc.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
What you should have done is not create a new Apple ID, but made your new email address the primary email for your old Apple ID.
Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
But it is too late to do that as you have used the new email address to create the new Apple ID.
I suggest that you abandon the new Apple ID and email address and create a new email address to use with your old Apple ID.

Numbers won't open but pages and keynote will

Hi,
I brought iWork as a download (serial number sent by email which I have misplaced!) and was working fine until about 1 month ago. I can still use Pages and Keynote fine, but Numbers won't open. I click the icon on my dock but it just comes up with a transparent ? over the icon instead of opening.
Anything I can do?

download iWork 9.05 and it will make your Keynotes happy again.
For some reason it is not included in the "update software"
(1) are you sure that Software Update is supposed to deliver iWork's updates ? I'm not
(2) the OP's problem is not related to Keynote (with no S) which behave flawlessly (as well as Pages) on his machine but it's a Numbers one. It's logical as he asked in a Numbers dedicated forum.
So, I'm afraid that what was useful for you would be useless for him.

Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.. Any clues?

Hello!
I noticed yesterday that Pages and Numbers won't open existing documents.
I've tried to reinstall software, but no luck.
I've done no changes to my system, other than installing updates that have been made available.
I run iWork '09 on a MacBook Pro 15" Mid 2010, with OSX 10.7.3.
I can view the documents in preview, but I really need them to work as they are work-related.
What to do?

Look at the threads to the right. One of them is this https://discussions.apple.com/message/13147694#13147694 and it might help you

Some Apps won't Update

Non Apple apps will update but when I try to update Pages, Numbers, iBooks or Remote they will not update and the apps won't work. When I tap the apps I get the message "Unable to download application, Pages could not be downloaded at this time, Done, Retry."
I am using an iPad1 and have 2.9gb available and am running IoS 5.1
