To open this calculation leaf you need a newest version of numbers but when I search already is installed

When I try to open a customer list or leaf a sign appears :
To open this calculation leaf you need to use a latest version of numbers and it's send it to me to Apple store
When I go there another sign appears
It's already install
What I need to do?
Thank you very much !!!!

It sounds to me as though you are attempting to open a Pages 09 document with the Pages 08 application. If you do have Pages 09 on your computer, it may be that for some reason an existing Pages 08 application is invoked accidentally.

  • I am trying to get a document from my cloud and on my Mac it says I need an updated version of numbers but when I go to mac app stores it does not allow me to download the new version which I use on my ipad?

    I am trying to access a numbers document in mycloud and it keeps saying I need a newer version. I purchased the upgraded app for my ipad and now I can't seem to upgrade my computer so that I can get access. I went to the app store but it won't let me download the newer version onto my computer? What is the point of putting things in the cloud if I can't access them?

    Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
    Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

  • You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I currentlyhave Numbers '09.  When I try and open any older numbers file I get this message.  "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet."  My updates are current.  Any ideas on what to do?

    It's quite easy to open up Numbers, ask it "about Numbers" up in the bar, and it's quite clearly running 3.0.1.
    I'm not a n00b computer user by any stretch. What's happening here makes no sense. Two days ago myself (and apparently a lot of people) could open up our files just fine in Numbers 3, which apparenlty was updated on my computer in mid-October. Then for no reason whatsoever, those same files won't open.
    For no reason I can discern either, some of my files will open, and some won't. Two files, for example, I open nearly every day. One of them opens today, the other doesn't. They are clones of each other, so the structure & formulas are the same, but the data differs. Why will one open and the other not? It makes no rational sense.
    Also, I only tested using Numbers 2.3 to see if other (older) files would open. Obviously, a document converted to a newer version of Numbers, isn't backwards compatible. So I'm not attempting to open my regular files using an old version of Numbers, since that's clearly not going to work. 
    I can open old files, and they pop right up in Numbers 3. It asks me to upgrade the files in order to save them.
    Again, the problem is that for some inexplicable reason, files that opened two days ago in Numbers 3, will no longer open in Numbers 3.
    I have opened up Numbers 3 directly and tried to open these files. Nope.
    I have right clicked on the file in the Finder and told it to open it with Numbers 3. Nope.
    I have double checked the last day I used the file (in this case, December 30) to make sure I'm not looking at the wrong file. Opens? Nope.
    I opened the other file (the clone) and it opens. Then I try to open the file in question using either "open" or "open recent", and...Nope.
    I have reinstalled Numbers 3. Opens? Nope.
    I have tried to open many files, and some open and some don't.
    I have made sure my file names don't have any weird extension on the end, like ".dorkedupfile" or something.
    I have renamed the file and removed ".numbers" on the end of the file. Nope.
    I put it back. Nope.
    Sigh.

  • When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version

    If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
    Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

  • I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version

    I cannot re-open files that have been saved in Numbers version09 - it states "You need a newer version of numbers to open this document". This is the latest version & also the one I have created/saved???

    Jules,
    You may delete Numbers 08 if you wish, but some folks like keeping it around. Close all your Numbers docs and Quit the Numbers app, and the other Numbers app if necessary.Then click the Numbers icon on your doc. Then select Numbers > About Numbers, and in the window that pops up, see which version it is. If the Dock icon started Numbers 08, you can cure that by dragging that icon off the Dock and letting it go in a puff of virtual smoke.
    Now, to put the Numbers 09 icon on the Dock, double-click one of those known Numbers 09 documents so that Numbers 09 starts up. Verify by checkig Numbers > about Numbers.
    Now click and hold the Numbers Dock icon and select the Option for Keep in Dock.

  • I was sent a .pages doc.  When I try to open it with pages I'm told "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." I have the newest version of pages on my computer. What should I do?

    I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x?  If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1.  Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1.  5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format.  Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents.  Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

  • I've a very important document which I can't open anymore: You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I've a very important document which I can't open anymore: You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.

    I figured out that it doesn't matter, actually it is Qsync, but other prgrams such Sugar Sync  create teh same problem
    The sync program adds a suffix to the files insite the numbers container
    When looking at the files inside the Numbers file/folder, I saw this (note: Alphonse is the name of my computer):
    drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut  staff   306B Mar 14 09:21 .

    I renamed the files to remove the suffix, like this:
    -rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut  staff    11K Jan  3 13:21  preview-web.jpg
    drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut  staff   306B Mar 14 09:32 .

    That fixed the problem and the file now opens correctly in Numbers 3.
    You can take the numbers file into a windows machin, the file is shown as a folder and then remive teh suffix.
    and like magic the file can then be opend  in Numbers V3.1

  • I cannot open iCloud documents on my MAC I went to preferences etc and it did not give me access. My error says I need an updated version of numbers but I have the latest version

    Mac OSX 10.4
    Processor 3.06
    Numbers 2.3 (554)
    I cannot open iCloud documents on my MAC I went to preferences etc and it did not give me access. My error says I need an updated version of numbers but I have the latest version

    You cannot access iCloud on a Mac running Mac OSX 10.4.  Are you sure, the system version is correct?
    If you are running iWork '09 (iWork 09 9.0.1) on your Mac with Numbers 2.3, you must at least have MacOS X 10.5.6 installed.
    if you want iCloud support for iOS apps, you need the iWork 9.3 update,see:  About the iWork 9.3 Update
    And this update requires OS X Lion v10.7.4
    Is your iMac compatible with Lion or later?

    Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers.  When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it.  When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3".  Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • Tried to open a doc that I just worked on yesterday. Now it will not open. It says it needs the newest version. I am on 4.3.

    A file I worked on yesterday now will not open. It says it needs the newest version. I am on 4.3 which I upgraded just the other day. OS is 10.9.4 Everything was fine yesterday.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac and are alternately opening the wrong one.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5, iOS 7 Pages, Pages for iCloud beta or iCloud files.
    Pages 5 only runs on Mavericks and can not open Pages '08 or earlier files at all and alters/damages Pages '09 files, which once saved can not be opened by anything other than Pages 5.
    Pages 5 files are in an odd compressed bundle, impossible to parse, which won't transfer via non-Apple servers. DropBox may have patched theirs, I haven't checked lately.
    All Pages files, no matter what version or compatibility, have the same file extension: .pages.
    Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages and many of the rest are buggy. They have confused their users and apparently themselves with the installations, upgrades and cross-transfers of files. Effectively Pages 5 files are only compatible with themselves in a very narrow range of hardware and software.
