Problem opening a Numbers file on new MacPro

I just purchased a new MacPro with Mountain Lion. I moved a hard drive from my older MacPro to the new one. I installed iWork 8 on the new computer, then installed the update for it. I tried to open a document that I created in iWork 8 on my old computer, but a drop-down box said that I "need a newer version of Numbers to open this document."
Can someone explain what is going on?

Received the file, which opened easily in Numbers '09. Resaved in Numbers '08 format as returned to Dorothy.
Regards,
Barry
Regarding upgrade pricing: The retail box version of iWork (no 's') '09 was $69 for a single user/single machine licence, $99 with a Family licence (up to 5 users/machines, same family, living under the same roof). Mac app store licence is for installation and use on all Macs registered under the same Mac app store ID.

  • Can't open a numbers file

    Dear Colleages
    I have a big problem with a numbers file. I work with the numbers version and have saved a file couple days ago on a usb stick. It file with my password login usw. I have done and used that file for months and I have been using the new numbers version since the launch of the new version. Today when I wanted to open the file to adjust it I get the messge "pw.numbers file can't be opened". I have not used dropbox or cloud for that file.
    What can I do.
    Thanks for your help

    Hello Paul,
    Can I ask how you are opening the file?  I am having similair issues, although I am preferring iWorks '09 apps still but have both installed, and working on files on a remote server (WebDav), I am getting the similiar errors, but if I copy the file to the local desktop and work with it there, then it's fine.  Maybe your attempting to open from the USB stick!?  Try locally on the desktop/documents folder?

  • Cannot open older Numbers files since update

    Cannot open any Numbers files that were created before an update, but can create new files, close them, and reopen them. When I try to open the file it says "Numbers quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple." I've sent reports to Apple several times, and have installed all updates that are available. I noticed this problem before I updated my other computer and can still open the files on that computer.

    Hello
    It seems that something works sadly because you aren't the first one with this problem which I already reported to Apple.
    May yo pack one or two sample files as .zip archive
    create a "System profile"
    attch both of them to a mail and send it to:
    koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
    I would be able to look if I may revive your file or send it to Apple's bugs hunters.

  • I am using PSE 9. I had no problem opening my Raw files from my Canon Rebel XT  Now  I have a Rebel 5ti and pse 9 won't reconize the Cr2 files

    I am using PSE 9. I had no problem opening my Raw files from my Canon Rebel XT  Now  I have a Rebel 5ti and pse 9 won't reconize the Cr2 files

    See this faq:
    FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
    That will explain why each new camera model uses its own raw format. (.CR2 does not indicate a format, only a Canon family of formats).
    The first link tells you what version of camera raw is needed for your camera : https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    You need ACR 7.4
    The second link tells you which ACR versions are supported by Elements versions Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    PSE9 supports version 6.5
    Further down on that paper, you get links to download the free Adobe DNGconverter for Mac or Win.
    This standalone software can batch convert a whole folder of raw files to the DNG raw file format that your present PSE9 can read.
    Otherwise, you would have to upgrade to version 10 or later.

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    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 almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • How can I open a Numbers file to the last cell used on from the previous saving of that file?

    In Excel, the .xls file would always open on the the cell location where the file was previously saved.  Very nice to have feature when the file is long ,so one does not have to keep scrolling down the page to make the next entry every time the file is opened.
    Can Numbers do this?  I can't find an option for it.
    After opening a file, I must always scroll down to the last entry or where I want to start inputting data.  What a pain.
    Is there a way to open a numbers file to where one was located when it was previously saved?
    Anybody know?  Please help.
    Thanks

    CF,
    When I Save a Numbers document with a cell Selected and then close the document, the same cell is still selected when I reopen the document. Isn't that what you are asking for? Furthermore, if I have chosen 100% zoom scale, the selected cell is displayed in the same screen position as when it was last saved. What you may be seeing that you don't care for is that if the zoom is other than 100% the table's position in the display window may be different than at the last Save.

  • How do I open a Numbers file sent to me that has been converted to Excel?  I already have MS Office for Mac.Ow

    How do I open a Numbers file sent to me that has been converted to Excel?  I already have MS office for Mac, but nothing comes up when I click on the imported file.

    If it indeed has been converted from Numbers to Excel, it will have a .xlsx suffix at the end of the name. Do a Get Info on the file if the suffix doesn't show. Else, it may still be in Numbers format and be unreadable by Excel.
    If it is in the right format, and you don't want to have to do what mende1 has instructed above for every successive file, click on the "Always open with..." option. That will associate the .xlsx suffix to Excel from thereon.

  • Lightroom 1.4 - problem opening up NEF files

    Hi there,
    I've been having problems opening up NEF files in Lightroom 1.4, a message keeps coming up saying that the file is not recognised. I'm using a MacBook Pro and can't get a solution - can someone please advise on the best course of action?
    Thanks!

    >a Nikon D3
    I don't think that one is supported in LR 1.4. The camera was released after LR 1.4 was released. To get support for that camera, either upgrade to LR 2 or convert the NEF files to dng using the free DNG converter that you can download from http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/

  • Problems opening & printing pdf files created on a Mac

    I am at my wit's end! I recently upgraded to a new version of Acrobat and suddenly a lot of my clients could no longer open my pdf files. I uninstalled the latest version of Acrobat and reinstalled an older version (Acrobat 8.1.3). Some clients started being able to open my pdf files but others could not. So I started using the Acrobat Share server and sending links. Some of my clients cannot open those either and many cannot print even if they can open the files that way. I personally also cannot print from the Acrobat Share server. The pdf files print out with all the surrounding graphics and application design elements. I also can't open the pdf files that I created on my Mac using my PC laptop running Vista. I have tried opening and printing both pdf files and the Acrobat Share links from my Mac and my PC laptop running Vista, to no avail.
    I was under the impression that compatibility problems between Macs and PCs were largely a thing of the past. I was also under the impression that the whole point of exchanging pdf files was that pdf files are cross-platform compatible. Not only am I am losing tons of valuable time, I may be losing credibility with my clients (especially since I have an IT background). I desperately need to know what version of Acrobat I should be running on my Mac so that when I scan documents into my Mac, the pdf files that are created are completely 100% compatible with both Mac and PC operating systems regardless of what operating system and what version of Acrobat my clients are running. I also need to be sure that those same pdf files I create on my Mac can be seemlessly printed out from either a Mac or PC regardless of the operating system or Acrobat Reader version. If anyone can help me get to the bottom of this, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

    This file downloaded and works fine for me in Preview on both OS X 10.5.7 and 10.4.11 (and opens in Acrobat Pro 9.1.1 and 8.1.5, and the latest version of Reader on both versions of the OS). As expected.
    If you're printing from Acrobat.com by right clicking in the image area and selecting Print, don't. This isn't printing the PDF, it's printing the Flash frame that contains, as you've noticed, buttons and other elements. (Adobe's Mac Flash plugin is notoriously buggy.) Direct your clients to download the file by selecting the download button, not by right clicking and printing.
    Again, your PDF file is fine.

  • Problems opening up RAW files in the Adobe elements 12 editor

    I just installed Elements12 on my Windows Desktop.
    Operating System Windows XP SP3, Quad Core Processor 2.4GhZ, 3Gb RAM (based on these spec, I should be meeting minimum system requirements)
    My camera's RAW format (Rebel 4Ti, CR2) is supported by the installed Camera RAW version (8.0.0.xx).
    I had no problems opening up the RAW file into Camera Raw. I performed the basic adjustments and save the image as a .DNG file. No problems so far.
    (1) I then tried to open the RAW file into the Elements Editor by clicking on "OPEN Image" in Camera RAW. I goes the error message that this action could not be completed due to a program error.
    (2) I also tried to open the .DNG file directly. I got an error message telling me I had not enough RAM to complete this action (see above, I have 3Gb installed)
    Can anybody advise me what to do, or what the problem is>
    Thanks.

    You might start looking for a new computer with windows 7 or 8 64 bit.
    Not because windows xp is a bad operating system, but it's not supported by microsoft any longer and more and more software companies are dropping support for xp.
    (even one of my favorite open source programs; Krita, dropped support for windows xp)
    Plus, new programs seem to be more and more ram hungry and a 64 bit version of windows can make a world of difference.
