Spreadsheet can't be imported.

Spreadsheet can't be imported.
The document was created with an unsupported application version.
I only keep 6 of my most used spreadsheets in iCloud at the moment. Yesterday, out of the middle of nowhere I have received the message above when I try to open 2 of my 6 spreadsheets using iOS or Numbers on Mac OS.
All 6 of my spreadsheets have worked for better than 2 weeks after upgrading to both the new versions of Numbers for iOS & Mac OS.
One of these I have a offline version that with a little work I can bring back to what I had before this incident. The other I created in the iCloud and have never downloaded an offline version.
1. Does anyone know why I'm having this problem?
2. Does anyone know how to bring them back?
Thank You!!

They may have become corrupted by editing on both the Mac and iOS or iCloud and the resulting sync conflicts failed to resolve correctly.
The document will be on your Mac, and hence available in Time Machine, if you have been syncing Numbers docs to iCloud. It sounds as if you have been doing that, but just in case, check to see that you have had iCloud sync for Numbers activated in System Preferences.
If you did have these turned on, then you can find your Numbers documents that were stored in iCloud by doing this: in Finder hold down the option key and choose Go>Library in the menu. In the Library navigate to the Mobile Documents Folder and within that you will find a subfolder named com~apple~Numbers. Your Numbers documents will be in there. You can enter Time Machine to go back in time to an uncorrupted version and restore it.

Spreadsheet can't be opened from iCloud

It will not open on any of my devices (iPhone, iMac, MacBook Pro, or iPad). I have the latest OS and iWorks installed on all devices. Seemed to start with a conflict message stating that the file hadn't been sync'd on another device. I made a selection of which to use (the latest) and then started to get the "Spreadsheet can't be opened" message. It seems odd that there would be such a conflict since I hadn't accessed the file

Any updates? I ran into this issue today with Pages, so I restored my iPad from backup. It did NOT fix the Pages issue. In fact, it ruined Numbers as well. Over 50 documents with very important data have been wiped out. These documents are no longer in iCloud, nor are they accessible from my iPhone anymore.
When these products first came out, I was like "Great! I'll never lose any of my work again!" Yeah, right... This one issue has lost more of my work than all of my previous computer problems over the last 20 years combined......

Spreadsheet couldn't be imported

I am trying to open an Excel 97-2003 worksheet in Numbers. I am opening it from the Mail app. It acts as if it is importing, then once it gets to the end, it prompts the following message -
Spreadsheet couldn't be imported. The document can't be opened because it contains cells outside the boundaries of Numbers"
The Excel file has 7 worksheets in it, each using rows 1 through at most 1,200 and columns A through X. I would assume that Numbers has a limitation on the number of cells a document can have. I cannot find any info relating to this error. Is there any documentation as to what these limits are?

I don't know what the limit is on the iPad version of numbers, but I am certain that there is a knowledge base article on the limitations of number of populated cells in numbers documents. Since the iPad only has around 250mb of actual usable memory (that's the number I heard online where they broke it's components down), I can see your spreadsheet being way too large as your talking over 200k data cells.
Of course we haven't seen apples actual numbers on this yet , so at this point its speculation that this is your problem.

I am unable to read any Numbers files in any app, other than the Apple Numbers app, on an iPad using v7.0.2. I can still view them on an iPod using v6.1.3.
Something has changed but I am unable to figure what.

I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format. What is wrong? Same camera as before.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photostream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.

New Photo app on Mac.
How can I (automatically) import new photos of the photo stream on my local disc (Mac)? Don't want to use new icloud service. Simply import.
With iPhoto every new photo was automatically imported and saved on my local disk (with "full resolution" that's what I only need). In the new photo app I have still my photo stream and when I move a photo (drag and drop from the photo stream) to a new album it indicates a (plus). My understanding is that the photo is now copied to my local disk. But when I deleted the photo in the photo stream it was also deleted in the album !?
If that is the case I can use the photo stream only until I reach the max of 1.000 photos, then I have to delete photos and I will have no copy left.
How can I "physically" copy a photo of the photo stream to my local disk? I just want to "transfer" all pictures taken with Ipads, Iphones to my central storage on the Mac. Please don't propose to connect it via iTunes (cable) to the Mac.
Any other suggestions?
thx

The amazing device cannot do it because no amazing developer has written an app for it. There is some interest, others have asked, but i have a hunch that the market is fairly limited, and no developer has jumped at the chance just yet.
Any sort of tethered approach means try to feed the material to the pad thru the cck. Which means the app would have to use the allowed/existing cck pathway in a manner that does not violate the sandbox rules. That may be the problem.

HELP! Downloaded LR5 and when open it shows an error message saying error while trying to change from modules and I can not even import photos. Am I doing something wrong?

HELP! Downloaded LR5 and when open it shows an error message saying error while trying to change from modules and I can not even import photos. Am I doing something wrong?

I have the same problem, and the solutions in Error changing modules | Lightroom do not work. Even uninstalling and reinstalling a new copy did not solve the problem. As anyone got an idea what other lingering files might be causing the problem?

Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3. Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?

Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion.

HT1473 Why after updating my itune i can no longer import LP's from my ion Turntable can sombody help please

Why after updating itune i can no longer import vinyl to the itunes

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto. Never before had a problem. (it is the version prior to iPhoto 11--all Apple software is UTD)

As of a few days ago, I can no longer import photos from my Nikon Coolpix s7c into iPhoto '08. Never before had a problem. I sent a request to Nikon for help and they referred me back to Apple. Help, if possible, please.

As the photos imported to the test library you know that it works with your version of iPhoto (so, you can skip the paranoia about Apple making you upgrade). The issue then is the Library, so
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Can no longer import from CD ??

I can no longer import songs from Cd.
Before I just inserted the CD, clicked on 'import CD', waited for it to import, and then moved the selection to a playlist.
Now I import. (Plus I've tried several times converting to AAC just in case that might work, even tho I chose AAC in the advanced preferences. ) Then I drag to a playlist in itunes and nothing happens.
If I try to drag to a playlist on my ipod I get the error msg
'Some of the songs ... were not copied to ipod because they cannot be played on this ipod.'
Recently I had changed to import as wav files, but changed back. I feel sure it's my settings but don't know what to change. The ipod manual is totally useless.
thanks,
Judy

Embarrassing, but I wasn't checking in the library.

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

1) How do I restore a spreadsheet that says "Spreadsheet couldn't be imported. An error occurred." & 2) How do I prevent this from happening?

Several times on my iPad, I have been getting the following message when trying to open a Numbers spreadsheet that I've been working on:
"Spreadsheet couldn't be imported. An error occurred."
The icon had already turned into a generic Numbers icon at that point in time, and the iPad doesn't allow me to email this file. I would then try to recover it on my iPhone, but Numbers/iCloud had already automatically deleted it. I've tried resetting my iPhone & iPad and restoring the previous day's data, but my hard-earned work was still gone!
This was a fairly large spreadsheet that I would make changes to multiple times throughout the day with either my iPhone 5 or 3rd Gen iPad. They are both updated with iOS 6.1.2 and Numbers 1.7.2, and both have iCloud turned on for syncing Numbers documents. I travel and work throughout the city on a daily basis, so I get a mixture of connection speed from LTE, 4g, wifi, to none.
I've made it a habit to make additional copies of my spreadsheets each week, and now I'm resorting to making additional copies at the end of each day. Sooner or later if this keeps happening, I may have to make annoying copies of the file every time I make a minor edit. This isn't how iCloud or anything from Apple is suppose to work. Please help out with this problem.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks den.thed,
Apologies for not replying back sooner - I've been away.
Although your suggestion helped me in getting a copy of Lion that I could use, it didn't help with the restore from Time Capsule issue. I had to download the Lion app onto my MacBook & then transfer it across but it wouldn't let me upgrade my OS for some reason, so I ended up wiping the iMac completely and restoring via my Snow Leopard install disk. For some reason, this time, it let me have the option of using Setup Assistant to access the Time Capsule for a complete restore.
Now, over a week later, with various bits of tweaking and reinstalling some apps that didn't seem to come across, I have my system back.
Thanks for the help anyway.
Cheers,
Paul

Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
Thanks,
George

Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro or Compressor.
Actually, FCP X will happily open them.
