Says I need to update numbers but there is none available

I am unable to open a file created in numbers because it says I need an update.
There is no update available.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi chilired,
If you updated your system to OS X Mavericks (or automatic updates did this for you) you probably now have two versions of Numbers on your machine. The update did not replace the old version of Numbers, and the Numbers icon on your Dock continues to point to the old version.
Numbers 3 is in your Applications folder, and Numbers 2 has been moved to a new sub-folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder.
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.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian.

    It depends on what iPhone you have.
    If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
    If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

    I cannot export projects from GB in my MacBook into GB on my iPad3; nor can I export from IPad to my MacBook. I have tried going onto Apps update on the MacBook, but there were none available. I have read that this omission is to be corrected - can you confirm this is intended to happen, or is it already in process. While awaiting for this essential development, can you please suggest any way of transferring information either way?

  • A pop-up says I need to update FF, but can't due to an error. I have the current version. Whats up with that?

    I've been getting a pop-up that says Firefox needs to update, but it can't due to an error. I have checked and I have the current version (5.0.1). What's up with that?

    Go to iTunes.com, then click on Download iTunes on the top right area, then on the next screen make sure it states iTunes 11.1 on the left side and email is not necessary then click on download now in the blue button. Issue should be resolved

  • I have turned keychain 'on' on both my ipad and iphone 5. The instructions that I have read just say follow the on screen instructions, but there are none. What am I doing wrong?

    I have turned my keychain 'on' on both my i phone 5 and my ipad. the instructions online say I should just follow the on screen instructions to set this up, but there are none. What I am doing wrong?

    Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

  • Trying to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 with iTunes, I get a pop up saying I need to update iTunes, but it is the latest version.

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 through iTunes. I get a pop out saying that I need to update to the latest version of iTunes. The problem is that I already have the latest version of iTunes. Is this a sign of overwhelmed servers or is this something different?
    Any information would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Using IPod touch to download apps, says I need IOS 4.3, but there aren't any available updates???

    Apparently, my current version is 4.2.1 Is there anyone who knows how I can get this update?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1. If that is the case you will either have to get a newer model iPod or live without the newer apps

    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air, it says to update software but there arent any available.. please help

    iphoto on my used mac mini will not open my photos from my new macbook air,  it says something about updating the software, but i checked and there arent any updates available... please help

    Sorry for the second post..
    I currently do not have an older version of iPhoto to test this on, but you might also try coping the Originals from the iPhoto Library of iPhoto 11.
    To do that;
    1. Right (control) click on the iPhoto Library in the Picture Folder on the MacBook Air
    2. Select Show Package Content.
    3. Click on the Originals Folder
    4. Navigate to the disired Event or photos and copy those images to your Flash or External Drive, then copy those to the older version of iPhoto.
    Beware do not move, add or delete anything in the iPhoto Library, Apple has intensionally hidden it in later versions to prevent people from messing things up.

  • I can no longer access the iTunes store, I get a message saying I need to update iTunes but cannot as I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1

    I have an account with the iTunes store but can no longer access the store because I get a message in iTunes store window telling me to update to an iTunes version that will only run on Mac OS 10.5.  I am on Mac OSX 10.4.1 and do not plan on upgrading that version.

    This is what I had to do to access iTunes store with 10.4.11 (took all day for the downloads)
    1. download & install iTunes 9.2.1 (101 MB)
    2. download & install Quicktime 7.5.5 (61 MB)
    3. message 'need to install Safari 4.0.3 or later' (and I never use Safari)
    4. download Safari (26 MB)
    5. Safari won't install without 'latest security update'
    6. download latest security update 2009-005 (Intel) v. 1.0 (172 MB)
    7. take a long walk
    8. install security update and restart
    9. install Safari and restart
    And yes, now I can download music again from the iTunes store.  I would have given up and gone with Amazon.com but mp3 downloads are only available to folk in USA, and I'm in Australia.

  • Firefox doesn't recognize FLASH after update, no matter what. Also says to update plugins but there are none to update listed?

    I have downloaded & re-downloaded FLASH, but after I updated my Firefox to 22.0 it no longer recognizes FLASH is installed on my computer. It also keep telling me "Some plugins required by this page have been blocked for your protection." When I check the plugins, the 3 listed are up to date, and the other 3 are marked "research" - which doesn't allow you to update them. I cannot discern that any of those are what is being blocked. When I click on Details, it brings me to a list of "Modules bloqués" and it's all listed in French...which would be great if spoke French or lived in France, but alas California is in the USA. My Java is updated, enabled & not blocked in any way. My Shockwave Flash is disabled & it will not give me the option to Enable it; I also cannot find a way to reinstall it or find a plugin to help me. !@#$%! So frustrating that this new "update" is useless. I hate 22.0.
    What do I do now?

    Your System Details List shows that some plugins are blocklisted and Flash is included:
    # plugin.blocklisted.flash: True
    # plugin.blocklisted.java: True
    # plugin.blocklisted.nppdf: True
    Which version of the Flash plugin do you have installed if you check that in Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > > Plugins?
    You will have to update Flash to make it work.
    You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page.

  • My app got deleted now when i go to try to download it again it says i need to update it but it wont update

    help

    The only way if if you have the previous version that was compatible with your iPod such as in the computer's recycle bin/Trash or i a computer file backup. In that case delete the version now in your iTunes library and copy the one there and then sync it to your iPod.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation is stuck on the apple logo, and i tried fixing it with itunes but it tells me there an error and gives me a code saying i needed to update my itunes and it was.what other ways is there to fix it.

    ipod stuck on the apple logo. i did the itunes thing but it tells me error and gives me a code saying i need to update itunes but it was and i did again but it still said the same thing. help how do i fix my ipod.

    Hey Edgar, how exactly did you do the updates? Are you running iTunes 11.2.2? And you iPod 5 is still running iOS 6.1.2 as your tag shows? or are you running iOS 7.1.1?  More info would be helpful. As Deggie asked, what was the error message, the more detailed the better. One more thing-- is this a Mac machine or a PC? Cheers.

  • I am not able to print a document...told I need to update AIR, but it fails to do so when I try..

    Am not able to print a document from a download.  Got message saying I need to update AIR, but when I tried, it failed to do so all the way..

    None of these things should happen.
    Can you take us through what happens, step by step (like "I see an icon for the document on my desktop. I double click on it. A window opens. At the top it says PDF Printing Window. I click OK. A message comes up saying Update for Adobe Air 3.33 needed. I click Download...". This is made up, but the sort of level we need.

  • HT5919 My company will not allow us to download iOS 7 due to software / security issues on our end. The problem is I need to download numbers but it says I need iOS 7. Is there any way to get an earlier update that's doesn't require ios7?

    Thank you so much! It's updating now. I'm hoping that once the update is finished that it will sync like normal as well. Of course I'm still a bit confused/concerned about how it refused to update on it's own, but for now that's not a problem. Hopefully from now on there won't be any more problems.
