After updating to Maverick on my Mac - unable to open numbers or pages docs on iPad or iPhone any suggestions or info?
I Just found it on the apple site, it arrived on a cd a few days later and worked just fine again.
i would recommend backing everything up just in case. Better safe than sorry, trust me. I've lost so much when i didnt back up once when re-installing the system.
IT shoulldnt erase everything, bt it might, so back up just in case
should you loose everything, then i have some tips on moving stuff fromyour iphone/ipod to the computer -

Unable to open Numbers file in iCloud using Numbers 2.3 (iWorks 09)
Using my iMac (OS 10.8.5) and Numbers (2.3), I am unable to open a Numbers file built on my iPad2 (7.1.1) and stored on iCloud. I get an error message indicating that I need to upgrade Numbers on the iMac. The version available to download on the App Store is 3.2.2 and seems to require Maverick to run. i don't really want to spend the money on either, but will if I have to obviously. (DISLIKE). Are there other options? And will the upgrade also force me into iOS 8?
Thanks in advance.Hi Reefkeeper,
You will need Mavericks to use Numbers 3. I don't use iCloud right now but it seems some users are experiencing difficulties at the moment with the iOS 8 upgrade. To Use Numbers in iCloud you will need iCloud Drive which requires iOS 8 and Yosemite on the Mac. Yosemite is not out yet.
I sync my Numbers files between my iPod and Mac using iTunes and file sharing. It is a little clunky but gets the job done. You can also email files.
It has been said on these forums that Numbers 3 is a free upgrade- I can't remember. I don't do a lot of printing or find and replace and Numbrs 3 has suited me very well. It is said to be more applescript friendly and of course that whole cloud thing. '09 will still be on your computer.

Unable to open Numbers 3.5 file in Numbers 3.2
I'm unable to open a Numbers 3.5 file in Numbers 3.2. My wife has a macbook pro with Maverick and numbers 3.2. I've created a 3.5 file and sent it over to her. However she cannot open it. Any suggestions?
Export the file to Numbers '09 format using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..." then send that file to your wife.

Unable to open Numbers doc emailed to myself from my iPad.
I am trying to open Numbers sheets I emailed myself from my iPad. I receive an error message saying I need a newer version to open and I can get that in the app store. When I go to the app store and click "buy" I am asked if I want to continue because the software already exists on this computer (yet an older version, 9) and was not purchased in the app store. So I do not know how to proceed. I don't want to lose what I have in my computer software and I don't what to have two numbers on my computer. Please help if you can. I need to get some work done.
iWork (no 's') for iOS & iWork for Mac have not gone away.
iWork.com (beta) (also no 's') is going away the end of July. iWork.com (beta) is/was an online method of sharing iWork files with other users & never moved out of beta in 3+ years. It is a completely different entity than the iWork apps & is not & never has been necessary for the iWork apps to function.
A Numbers document, as well as Pages or Keynote documents, cannot be opened on a PC. You must first export them to a file that a PC can use. For Numbers that is generally Excel. In Numbers on your iPad tap the wrench & then tap Share & Print & choose Excel as the file type.
As for transfering a file from a PC to an iPad, I'm not sure as I don't use a PC. -

iMac OS X version 10.9.4 showing Numbers '09 version 2.3. I installed Numbers version 3.2.2 on August 28, 2014. But Numbers will not permit me to open any documents in iCloud Numbers by a pop-up indicating I need the newer version of Numbers 3.2.2!!!!! When I go to AppStore to do so, it shows I installed it in August and will not permit me to get it.
I also have an iPod with the latest versionI just found an answer to this same question, answered by Jerrold Green 1.
I checked the icon in my Dock. It had only three colored bars.
I checked in the Applications folder icon and the Numbers icon had 4 bars!
I tried to drag the 3-bar one onto desktop and just let go, but jumped back onto Dock.
I dragged it to the trash can.
I opened the Applications folder icon on the Dock and dragged the 4-bar Numbers icon out and onto the Dock.
IT WORKED! I thank you all. -

Ever since I updated my system to 10.9 and updated the numbers, iphoto, imovie, pages etc I have been unable to open my numbers documents. I keep getting a message I need to update. My computer shows I did. Whats happening?
I was opening my documents from the document folder on my dock and that's when I couldn't open them. I also couldn't open them from the old icon for numbers on my dock. I even couldn't open from finder. After recieiving your message I did use the Applications to open numbers and it did work. I also had one document set with a password and I still had problems opening it. Once I got it open I removed the password temporairly and it opens now from the document folder like it used to before. Oh yes, I forgot to mention I removed the old Numbers icon from the dock. Then I dragged the icon from the Applications folder onto my doc and all seems fine.
Thank you for your help, I just don't know why these things just don't update automatically from Apple. Ever since using Apple products these past 3 1/2 years I've decided no more Window's computers. Please to Apple.....is there a way they can take care of these updates beforehand? -
Numbers 3.5 unable to open files from '08
I just home with my new computer and it has Numbers 3.5. I had Numbers '08 on my old computer. I am unable to open my files on the new computer. An Apple Care person told me that I need order iWorks '09 from Amazon or Ebay, wait for it to arrive in the mail, install, open every single file and save in '09 version and then REPEAT this with the 3.5 version of Numbers. Any other way around this??? That will take days!
No, unfortunately that's the only workaround. You can't open them directly.
These are documents you've had but not opened in 5 years? Maybe they should just go to the trash -
Numbers error msg: "Unable to open ' .' Unknown file type."
I last updated this doc 4 days ago, saving it every time I update it. I use it to track my children's school hours throughout the year. I have since restarted my Mac. I went to open this file today, and am getting the error message, "Unable to open ' (name of file)' Unknown file type.
When I search for the doc under the spotlight, the name of it appears & it is listed as a Numbers doc, but I can't open it.
Any ideas for a work around? I haven't backed it up in several weeks, so I'll be very sad if I can't retrieve it at all!

I have purchased and installed Facebook, pages and numbers apps. However I am now unable to open any of these apps. When I click on the app the GUI just bleeps. Any suggestions to resolve this please?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or....
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.
Or....
Try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps. -
