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......

File cannot be opened from iCloud

Hi,
so I have multiple documents in my iCloud for all iWorks programs.
One numbers file however will no longer open or download.
If I try to open it on my MBPr I get the following error
"The document could not be opened"
If I try to copy it onto my desktop I get the following error
"cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork."
* mind you all my software is up to date.
If I try to open it on my iOS device I get the following error
"Spreadsheet can't be opened."
And last but not least if I try to open it via iCloud.com
no matter what format I choose to download
I can see the thumbnail, but I just cannot get the damned thing to open.
any other ideas what I might try? anyone?

My girlfriend's sister is having the same problem. We managed to get the pages file onto a PC to have a look and it's a folder called "name.pages-tef"
Inside the folder are the following:
If I open the index.db file with a text editor, I can see the text but it's surrounded by gobbledygook code.
Any help would be much appreciated as it's 3 months worth of notes apparently. If you try and share it as Pages file, PDF or Word from the Pages app on iPad where it is or from iCloud, it fails. Literally just need to be able to print this so she can get her notes back.

This spreadsheet can't be opened

Just gone into Numbers having updated it and loaded Yosemite and now find I can't open one of my most used documents. I keep a copy both on hard drive & on iCloud. The hard drive document will open but not the most up to date version on iCloud. I simply get 'This spreadsheet can't be opened'.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get the spreadsheet back?
Thanks

Hi mgasparino,
It seems that you have tried to open a Numbers '08 document with Numbers version 3.
If you recently updated Numbers to version 3, that did not remove Numbers '08 from your machine.
Look in your Applications folder for a sub-folder called iWork '08.
First, make backup copies of your documents!
Launch (open) Numbers '08 and Menu > File > Open > your document.
In Numbers '08, Export to Excel.
Numbers 3 will open that Excel document.
Numbers 3 will ask you if you want to convert that document to the latest Numbers format.
If you are sure, then upgrade.
To open it, save it with Numbers ’09 first.
Other users in this forum have found ways to download a trial version of Numbers '09, and convert documents from '08 to '09.
Other users in this forum have found ways to purchase, install (and then update) a DVD of iWork '09.
Numbers '08 and Numbers '09 still work, but they are now "orphanware".
See this User Tip on how to work with old and new versions of iWork:
Need newer version of Numbers to open file
Regards,
Ian.

How can I import contacts from iCloud to CONTACTS in snow leopard? !

After upgrade software on iPhone (with iCloud) contacts on MAC (Snow Leopard) are no mre sync with iPhone....
As some time hase passed by and I did not notice it immediatly, now I have all updated contacts on iCloud and no moe on Mac; how can I import contacts from iCloud to Mac contacts in snow leopard?
Thanks for help !!!!
Marco
PS sorrry, previous question was a mistake

At http://icloud.com go to the Contacts page. Select all your contacts, click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and select 'Export vCard'.
Now open Address Book on your Mac. From the File menu choose 'Import' and select your exported file. Of course if it contains entries which are also on the Mac you will get duplicates.

How can I access documents from iCloud on my iPad.

how can I download docs from icloud drive on my iPad and edit them on ipad.

Hello Kalsulkar,
To use iCloud Drive and to work with documents, you will need the corresponding Pages, Keynote and Numbers iOS apps or third party iOS apps that support iCloud Drive to interact with those documents. To access the content, you would need to open one of those apps to see all the documents that are available to you for that specific app. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update

Pages will not open from iCloud since Maverick update

I have a similar problem. I upgrated to Maverick a couple weeks ago and at that time I saw a very different appearance to my Pages documents, especially my book lists. Numbers appeared at the left side of the pages. All seemed well. Now the last few times I've tried to open those documents, I get the message that "YOU NEED A NEWER VERSION OF PAGES TO OPEN THIS DOCUMENT. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION OF PAGES FROM THE MAC APP STORE". I can't figure out how or why the version reverted back to the way it was. That message doesn't always come though. Some documents I can open but some I can't open at all. If I click LEARN MORE, I am directed to the APP STORE where I can buy Pages 5.0.1 for $19.99!!!!! What the heck is going on????? Am I going to have to pay for pages where Maverick was FREE.

Docs not opening from iCloud

Today, I launched Pages from my desktop machine (Mac Mini) and tried to open docs from iCloud and nothing happened, no sign of processing or activity. When I go to "open" I see the docs in iCloud (and I can toggle to my local drive). They all look in sync to what I had on my iPad. In desperation I copied and then dragged a file to my desktop and was able to open it from there.
Then I tried to go to iCloud through Safari and was told my password needed to be reset. Just to be sure, I went to my iPhone and updated an app, causing it to force me to enter my Apple ID password and the OLD password worked, no message of needing to reset.
Then I came to discusssions.apple.com to query, and lo and behold, I had to reset my password here. Which I did and now have to change it everywhere else. But I still cannot open any files on Pages on my desktop that are on iCloud, even though Pages asked me to re-enter my password for access.
Also out of desperation I wound up working on the Pages doc I had on my desktop machine in MS Word....(yuck!)
Thanks in advance all....

Really surprised there was no response from the community on that one, but not a big deal. I just had to reset passwords all over the place.
But now I've got some other weirdness, possibly iCloud related. I did a repair permissions and Pages was able to open docs from iCloud. But now it's happening again. I can't open from iCloud and I tried downloading from iCloud through a browser but Pages still won't open the docs. I decided to try signing out of iCloud and that just sucked up all processes, system ground to a halt while signing out was supposedly going on. I had to force quit everythig else and still it didnt complete signing out. I was able to restart
But now i have to reauthenticate with iCloud and its another 15 minutes gettig everything back in sync. This is miserable. I was able to open a Pages doc finally. :(

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

How can I delete iBooks from iCloud?

Not quite sure exactly what you want to do, but you cannot do it on a PowerBook. iCloud requires Lion and Lion requires an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

Why is the slotomania can't be open from your Apple store menu? I had it before but stop working.

At the bottom of the App Store screen is purchased. Tap it, and see if you can install the app from there. Purchased keeps a record of all your apps, free or purchased.
