Same Numbers file opens fine under host but blank under VMWare guest

Am working toward a daily use virtual machine as an operating environment. Using VMWare Fusion 4 and Lion 10.7.4 for both host and guest. Host and guest each have 4 GB RAM allocated and gobs of disk space.
Have iWork '09 installed under both host and guest. Trying to use a Numbers worksheet that's stored both in iCloud and DropBox - doesn't matter which, same results. This is the same physical file accessed from both host and guest. In the host, worksheet opens fine. In the guest, Numbers '09 starts fine, but no worksheet contents show - the tree shows on the left, but worksheet shows blank. Have tried pulling in backup copy and re-uploading to DropBox. Same results. Same behavior for Pages .09.
Other applications (other than iWork) seem OK so far.
Anyone have an idea what may be going on?
Thanks!

UPDATE:
I have backed up to Lion 10.7.3 in a new vmware guest, reinstalled iWork '09 from the retail disk into the guest. No change. Pages, Numbers and Keynote work spaces all show empty on guest screen (even though same files open fine under hot side).
I have downloaded latest Parallels, installed, created Lion 10.7.4 guest, installed iWork '09 from retail disk and same results. Host works fine, guest loads but shows blanks screen.
I had a note from one person who said they had similar setup and same s/w versions all around. Says his works fine under guest. So far, only difference I can see is that he's running Numbers and Pages apps he downloaded from the App Store whereas I'm using an iWork retail disk. We're both using iWork '09 version 2.1.
Really now, could THAT be the problem?
Ideas anyone?
Thanks.

I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks. The last time I opened it was 1 week ago. Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

I have been working on the same numbers file for the past few weeks. The last time I opened it was 1 week ago. Today when I tried to open it I am unable and getting a message that the file is invalid and the index.xml file is missing.

Hi Tracie,
I upgraded to Maverick OS X 10.9.5, numbers spreadsheet is saved. Upon re-opening, it appears to be frozen, a warning "file is invalid as index.xml file is missing". I checked, and the file is not "locked". This appears to occur only with using the new numbers app. When I open previous spreadsheets from old iWorks, no such problem occurs.
How did you resolve your problem?
Would appreciate any help here.

IDML file crashes InDesign. INDD CC file opens fine

I created a file in Indesign CC. Saved as .indd and as .idml. The .indd files opens fine, the .idml file causes Indesign to crash. No errors, just a long wait, then a forced quit.
InDesign is up to date. Created a new document, copied and pasted document contents to new file, same issue. Shrunk one of the larger images in case it was too large to load, error still occurs.
System: Windows 7
How can I fix the .idml file?

Forced Quit is not a crash. You might have a hang, or it might just be taking a long time to process if there are a lot of pasted vectors or missing links.

Files seen under Explorer but not under Music; making playlists outside Music

My Zen Touch 2 sees some files only in the explorer but not under Music > Songs. I.e. I load an album into the right folder and Zen sees only the fourth, fifth etc. track under Music while seeing all under Explorer. As I can add songs to playlists only under Music, this effecti'vely blocks me from listening, What`s the... ehm, problem? Why can`t this piece of plastic see all the files?
And second: Maybe there is a nicer way of making playlists than one by one in the device? I`ve heard some hardware Mp3/4 players cana ccept external playlists, but the help doesn`t mention this.

QThanks but as this changes even within an album (tracks -3 not seen, later ones yes) I don`t think it is the problem of tags exclusi'vely. BTW, maybe there`s some way of making the Music window (program? folder?) display file names instead tags?
Thanks for the playlist answer. Now`s just the problem of finding where WMP keeps them

Adobe Activation error I bought a used CS2 application with serial numbers: it loads fine and works, but I cannot activate it and it will run out in 26 days. I bought it on ebat for 40 dollars. I am willing to pay a royalty fee. In 2006, or so, I bought a student version of CS2 at the College bookstore legally and registered it and it is still running on my 2002 eMac, but my Mac cannot communicate with my wireless printer I just got.

I was using my ipad it was under 10% but no under 4% it turned off then i pluged the charger in and flashed on then showed apple sign after i turned it on. now its going back and forth from the apple sign and battery symbol ive changed chargers its not on

hey please help!
i was using my ipad it was under 10% but no under 4% it turned off then i pluged the charger in and flashed on then showed apple sign after i turned it on. now its going back and forth from the apple sign and battery symbol ive changed chargers its made no differnce its been like 3 hours ive tried to do that reset thing holding lock button and home button for 10 seconds at the same time. WHAT DO I DO?

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

JPG file opens fine on server and fine in Google Chrome but Upside Down in IE11

We have a jpg file that is on a server. When you link directly to the file so that there is no HTML or CSS code, it opens fine in Google Chrome but IE is flipping it upside down. I have access to the server itself, the computer with the jpg file on
it, and when I open it in file explorer (not internet explorer) it opens in the default picture view program just fine. The picture was taken with an iPhone. Is there a way to disable this unwanted picture flipping in IE?

In Windows try right clicking on an iPhone photo and selecting Properties -> Details Tab.
Scroll through the list of EXIF metadata.
Now open the same photo in a decent EXIF viewer and see how much extra EXIF metadata is presented.
The image below highlights one piece of metadata not exposed by Windows - orientation.
To avoid problems try deleting all but the most basic metadata. See for example

Opening a Numbers file opens all Numbers files

When I open a file created with Numbers 09, not only that file opens, but other (non-linked and unrelated) files I created with Numbers also open. Is there a way I can stop this and only open the files I want to work on? At about the same time this started, I also started getting an error message form, that doesn't have any content everytime I open Numbers. See enclosed image:
Appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks.

Thanks, Jerry.
I couldn't find anyplace in SystemsPref>Gen to cause files to close when I quit the app, but I did close the files one-by-one and when reopening the one I wanted found that only that one opened. So that did solve the problem for me.
But I'm still curious about the "Document Warning" window that doesn't show any warning. It obviously isn't related to the opening of the extraneous Numbers files, but does show up everytime I open any file in Numbers now.
Thanks for your help, Jerry!

Is there a way you can make a Numbers file openable by one person at a time

I have several Numbers documents within a shared file and accessible by several users.
Is a way within Numbers (or a workaround) to lock it so that only one user can access and edit it at one time? To stop over writing of data from the user that happens to close the document last.
Any help gratefully received

klank,
The server that stores the files for access by multiple users would need to control the access, not the Numbers application. Applications designed specifically for multiple use may have provisions for controlling access, but iWork is not one of them. Such collaborative uses are becoming more popular and are typically seen in cloud computing apps.
Some servers don't control the access but warn the users if multiple users make changes to a document at the same time. A good example, I think, is DropBox. DropBox creates a new file for each simultaneous user and posts a warning about the conflict. Then you can go back and see what else happened to your document while you had it open and try to straighten out any conflicts manually. As you might imagine, this can be a pain.

Large .dv file plays fine in Quicktime, but audio out of sync in iMovie??

hi,
i'm trying to convert some old analog 8mm tapes to digital. to do this, i'm using a sony trv320 camcorder with firewire feeding iMovie '08. i've imported an entire 2 hour tape into iMovie, and everything is fine except that at some point, the audio gets out of sync from the picture. i've opened the huge 24 GB .dv file in Quicktime, and everything is in sync, so I assume this is some kind of problem related to iMovie. i've done lots of searching on this and have made sure that the camcorder is sending 16 bit audio out. i also tried using mpeg streamclip to split the huge .dv file into smaller parts, but this resulted in the same audio sync problem (which is weird).
is my only option to manually import my tapes 10 minutes at a time? please say no
the most puzzling thing about this is that the huge .dv file is perfectly in sync all the way through when playing back in Quicktime.
i'm at a loss!! hope someone can help.

I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.

QT .wav files playback fine on computer, but not on burned CD's

Never had this problem until I updated to Mac OS X.4.8 & QT 7.1.3
Although all .wav, aiff, mpeg files play just fine on computer. However third party hardware (e.g. disc player) no longer seem to recognize audio on CD's burned from computer.
Thought I had the answer when I read forum and went back to System Preferences and made sure the boxes for .wav, etc were checked under MIME
settings. But still same problem.
Is the fix for this export problem the same as I read for movie audio in this forum? Namely download Mpeg Streamclip?
Apologize is this post is redundant, but have read dozens, and none seem to share exactly the same problem.
Specific solution would be much appreciated!
-ekh

Ok Kirk, please help me out here. I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip. Followed directions, but any music files I tried to put in the blue dot box for conversion just bounced back.
I understand what you are saying about QT not being able to export audio. But what then was exporting audio to CD's in the .wav or .aiff format before I downloaded QT 7.1.3?
The thing I have always loved about Macs and music production is their user-friendliness; but these new wrinkles in CD production are really time-consuming when one cannot figure out how to make the applications work.
Sorry for the question again, but I did try many times with the info you gave me, but just having any luck.
