Upgrade Numbers needed to open file?

I've got Numbers '08, ver. 1.0.3. A friend sent me a Numbers template to use. When I try to open it I get a dialog box saying I need a newer version of Numbers to open it. I went to the App Store and when I try to get the current version, the App Store says that I have Numbers installed and won't do much from there. Any suggestions?

Hello
I just filed this report :
+Bug ID# 8965131.+
Summary:
+Try to get Keynote ’09, Numbers ’09 or Pages ’09 thru App Store+
+Steps to Reproduce:+
+Enter the store with iWork ’09 installed thru (the trial version , bought registration code , update 9.0.5)+
+Expected Results:+
+I guessed that the the store would recognize the legal applications and claim "already installed"+
+Actual Results:+
+Alas, it doesn’t recognize them and display the price to pay to get the apps+
Regression:
+None except take care that we already have the apps.+
Notes
+More annoying+
+Do the same with iWork ’08 installed.+
+This time, this son of a b… of App Store+
+decide that iWork ’09 components are installed and claims "Installed" so no need to buy the beasts.+
+Foolish, isn’t it+

  • Numbers can't open file says index.xmlfile missing

    Was working on my files this morning. Now I cannot open them it says the documents are invalid and that the index.xml file is missing. I need to retrieve these documents.

    Hi segars,
    Adding to Sparkleberry's reply,
    Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
    Need newer version of Numbers to open file
    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 3.5.2 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,

  • I need to open files in a folder within a photoshop action

    I am writing an action (to be triggered by automator) to take three photos from a tethered camera and open, size, and crop them, and place them in specific locations on a template image to create two photo-booth strips side by side on a 4x6 print.  It works perfectly, but when I write the "open" command into the action, it referenced the files by name.  I need to find a way to have my action open the three files in a folder (the only three that will be there thanks to my automator action), but not reference them by name.  Is there any way of opening images in an action without referencing them by name?  Maybe some sort of open images in a folder type of thing?  Any ideas are very much appreciated.
    ---Dan

    I have played with the >>Toggle dialogue on/off<< field and manually opened the files from their folder, but the action has the file's location written into it.  I need it to open all files in a folder.  As part of my Automator action, I am moving my photos (taken in batches of 3) into a workflow system of folders so the photos from the camera save to a "from camera" folder, and then move to a "for photoshop" folder, and those are the images that open into the ps action and get put into the template.  The action saves the composite image to an archive folder, and deletes the image layers, and then the Automator action moves the originals to another archive folder.  There shouldn't be issues as long as the actions keep running and I can figure out how to open files form a folder without referencing the specific images in the folder.  Also please keep in mind that I am writing this as an action witihn Photoshop CS3, so basically clicking record, and letting the computer write the "code".  Did that help?

  • Using CS 11.0.0 - Need to open files created in v.15.0.2?

  • Need help opening file damaged in power outage

    I am a teacher using PM 7.0.2   My computer uses Windows XP.  I was working on a big PM project and had just saved my work a minute before and then we got a huge power outage.  Now the file will not open.  I've tried opening both ways - here are the messages.
    Yes à Cannot open file.  There is no mini-save version   8009:20484
    No à Cannot complete action.  Closing publication, some work may be lost. Open the previously saved publication.    8026:20551
    If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.  Thank you.

    Lets see if I remember this.
    Try making a copy and moving it to a new folder. Try renaming the copy with .p65 or .pm6 extensions. If you have access to pagemaker on a mac try opening it there.
    You probably know this now, but always make incremental copies of your pagemaker files, rename the file as you go along 01file.pmd, 02file.pmd, etc. Pagemaker files will corrupt, even without a power outage, and it is nice to have a previous version available.
    Battery Backups and external backup drives are a good things too.

  • HELP What app. do I need to open files to SD Card

    null
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    I'm not sure what you mean, but if your question is how do you open files which are stored on your SD card, it depends on what type of file it is.  If it is a Palm application, you should see it listed in the Category list from the application launcher (Home) screen.  If it is a document, Documents To Go can find all compatible documents.  If it is a database for a Palm application, it will depend on that application as to whether, and how, it can access the file.
    If what you want to do is to view the files that are on your SD card, use the free file management utility FileZ.
    Please be more specific in what it is you are trying to do.

  • What plug in do I need to open files in virtual pc xp mode on windows 7?

    I am unable to open CS 2 In Design files in virtual pc xp
    mode on windows 7 - even tho it says I should be able to.
    It says under 'content manager' check for the right plug ins
    or upgrade to the latest version of in design.
    What plug in do I need?
    Or should I send windows 7 professional with xp mode back??

    More than likely these are CS3 or later files and the latest version you have installed is CS2. Without a newer icon handler from a more recent version, the CS2 icon will be displayed for anything newer than CS, and Windows itself has no clue that any version of ID other than the last one installed is associated with the file type.
    As Jongware points out, this is the typical error for trying to open a newer version file.

  • Need to open files made in Mainstage 2 in the older version of Mainstage.

    Any suggestions? I'm working with a collaborator on a project and I have Mainstage 2, while he's still on the original Mainstage. We need a way to open the files I make on his computer, but I no longer have my installation CDs. Is there a way to convert the files without him having to buy an upgrade to the new Mainstage? Thanks!

    As far as I know, the answer is No. I have also found it safer to re-build all my MS1 concerts in MS2 rather than importing them from MS1.
    It doesn't cost too much to upgrade from MS1 to MS2.

  • Numbers - problem to open files with iPhone.

    Hello! I have a problem to open a numbers file on Iphone. this file is made with Mac and use the function "SE". I understand tha t the problem is on a table where I use this function. If I delete this part I'm able to open with the Iphone. I try also to cut the expression on 2 different "se" but not work. I'have a dubt about the possibiliy of use the "se" function on the numbers on Iphone.
    Someone have a problem like this? And find a soluction?
    Can you help me?
    Thanks
    Paolo

    Hi, I see your answer but I don't agree for 3 reasons:
    1 -  On numbers on mac the functions with ";" work good;
    2 - I try to put the comma like your suggestion but the system show me an error on the formula with the red triangle
    3 -  I read another time the online help about the instruction and is correct the ";"
    Follow I put a short screen-shot of the instruction help:
    SE
    La funzione SE restituisce uno dei due valori specificati a seconda che il suo risultato sia il valore booleano VERO o FALSO.
    SE(se_espressione; se_vero; se_falso)
    Thanks for your help but for the moments i follow to don't solve my problems.
    bye

  • Need help opening files created on Mac in PC

    Please help!  Our old Mac is down and I need to access some files on our network that were created in PM 5.  I'm now using a PC that I downloaded the trial of PM 7 onto in hopes of being able to access these files and convert them to InDesign CS4.
    Here's my problem:
    When I try to open a PM 5 (or even a PM 6.5) file created on the Mac using the PM 7 on the PC I get this message:  "File cannot be translated to PC and converted to new version at the same time."  Does anyone know how to get around this?  Is there another program that will translate the Mac file to PC?

    I've read on here that people running Windows XP with SP3 have also had issues with PageMaker files.  Could that be the root of my issues?
    this only applies to CS2 and PM files.
    A co-worker has a MacBook that they're going to bring in next week so I can transfer the files.  Is this just going to be a matter of me opening the files on the Mac and saving them as a pmd file on our network drive, then going into my PC and opening them in either PM7 or InDesign (which is where I'll be doing all the updates)?
    This will not work. Pagemaker needs to run in Classic on a Mac running OSX. A MacBook is an Intel chip and does not support Classic. You either need an old Mac that boots OS9 or a PowerPC Mac that will run Classic. As long as they are PM6 or better they should open no problem in IDCS3 and 4.
    My offer still stands if you need to get started.

  • Newb needs help opening file browser and getting full file name and path.

    Ok, so I'm a TOTAL newb here, but I have managed to get it to open a file browser but all I can seem to get it to do is give me the NAME of the selected file *eg. selectedFile.name* I also need the path of the file as in C:\example\file.mp3.
    The program I'm making plays an MP3 of your choice at a certain time, like an alarm clock. But I got tired of entering the file path of the MP3 EACH time so I wanted to have a browse feature.
    Ideas... help... thanks...
    Nicholas

    you'll need to use air to get the path.

  • RPLN Plug In Missing - will not allow me to open files

    I have InDesign CS 3 version 5.0.4, Windows XP, on a PC. I created a book using several chapters for a 200+ manual. When I left work on Wednesday, 12/31/08, all files were fine. I did not change anything that I am aware of.
    This morning I came in, opened the INDB and most chapters had the warning triangle beside them. When I clicked on it, I got the message the plug-in was missing. I chose the option to open it anyway, but it would not open. Please, please, please tell me there is a quick fix to this.
    My customer is waiting as I write this for me to send her an updated PDF of the book for her to review.

    It seems very odd that so many others have had the exact same experience. Is it possible that Adobe put a time limitation on the version so that files done before a certain date wouldn't load. I wouldn't put it past them.
    No, there is no time limit on files created in any version (I still on occasion need to open files from 2001). Files created in Pre-release versions prior to CS5 will not open in release versions, but they usually produce a differnt error message that tells you that. Please send me one of these files and I'll take a look and see if I can determine the version it was saved from for you. I'm sending you a link to my drop box by the private message system.
    It's not terribly surprising that this comes up with some frequency. There's quite a bit of confusion about the version numbering system CS labeled versions all have "actual" version numbers two digits higher than the CS number and many users think they have CS3 when they have Version 3. This sort of warning virtually never turns out to be anything other than a version problem.

  • Can't open file:///-Links in Messages or Mail (Adium is working)

    In 10.9 opening of file:///-Links was no problem with PathFinder. After upgrading I can't open file:///-Links in Messages or Mail. Only Adium is still working. What can I do to enable it again? Or did Apple stopped supporting the file:///-Protocol? Best regards Michael

  • 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.
