Version-0.apversion could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files of this type

Hi - I created a file in Numbers a couple of years ago and have been able to update it monthly since its creation.
This morning I have tried to open the file and am getting the "Version-).apversion" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files of this type.
Any ideas for a fix?

Hi Amelie,
There are three major versions of Numbers:
Numbers '08
Number '09
Numbers 3
It is possible that an automatic update by App Store has installed the latest version of Numbers (Numbers 3) on your machine.
Numbers 3 can not open a Numbers '08 document.
Which version of Numbers is giving that error message? (In Numbers, Menu > Numbers > About Numbers.)
Look in your Applications folder for sub-folders such as iWork '08 and iWork '09.
Please call back with questions.
Regards,
Ian.

  • HT3350 what can you do when you get this warning? "Scouting Book  Collection Index" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "Numbers Document" format.

    “Scouting Book  Collection Index” could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the “Numbers Document” format.

    This file was created in 2002 in MSword but this had been forgotten.
    When I went to open it.... (MSword) was not a program option on my laptop. For some reason, I assumed that either Pages or Numbers wouild open the file. How the file was created was forgotten and had no file Info, but I new that it was a table of valuable information.
    The warning threw me off, because it led me to believe that it was a Numbers file. which Numbers would not open. A paradox.
    I took the file to a laptop in OSXpanther with MSoffice and it opened in MSword. Problem Solved.
    Thank you for your help.

  • "could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the "data" format."

    I cannot open some files from at least two different friends.   the message that I get is "could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the “data” format.”. 
    I have OSX 10.9.2
    I have the latest version of Pages 5.2
    Any help is appreciated. I'd like to be able to open files. Thank you.

    Could your friend possibly be using a Mac running OS 9?
    Or one of the early versions of OSX?
    They are the only Systems I know of that don't have file extensions on the files, because they used data forks in the file, something Apple eventually abandoned, in the interests of compatiblity with Windows and UNIX generally.
    I had a look AmigaOS also had a form of file and resource separation, in which the main file does not have an extension.

  • The document "2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.

    The document “2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.
    I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
    I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
    Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

    I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!

  • When firefox trys to auto update, or I manually download the new version, or some but not all downloads off of the web, I get this error message. C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

    First off, when firefox trys to auto update, it fails. It tells me to try and download the new version from mozilla's site. When I try to download the new version I get this: (C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.)
    This is the same message I have been getting when I try to download other things off the net. (When I use other browsers to download I dont have this problem)

    Please help.

  • Error: "FT DeepDark 11.3.1 could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file." What does this mean?

    In an earlier version (Firefox v.31) on this, and (presently) on two other PC's, I was/am able to run add-on FT DeepDark 11.3.1 without any problems. It was only recently - after updating to v.32.0.3 on this PC that this situation started. The PC in question is a Dell Dimension 8400 Intel P4 running Windows 7, though I'm thinking it may have something to do with the newer version of Firefox. Could anyone help me with this? I like this add-on because it is easier in my eyes when browsing the internet. Thanks
    PS: Attempted to install the troubleshooter, and again I received a similar error: "Troubleshooter could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file."

    This error has been reported before in this bug:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730040#c21
    Please read that bug I linked you to and let me know if the last comment in the bug solves your problem. Apparently the problem is about the addon .xpi file being read-only. Try right-clicking it, going to Properties and unchecking the "Read-only" attribute box at the bottom of the dialog. Click Apply, then OK.

  • ITunes could not be installed because some of the files are missing, please

    I just bought an Iphone and when I went to install the latest version of itunes i get the message "iTunes could not be installed because some of the files are missing, please reistall iTunes" during the installation. I have tried every recommended solution I could find on the apple website. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem??

    A number of people seem to have had this problem, see this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1221432&tstart=0
    In the thread you will find a post from Royb of Apple inviting people to send in installer logs. It might be an idea to take advantage of that.

  • [Add-on] could not be installed because firefox cannot modify the needed file

    I've tried both Zotero & Firefox forums with no success:
    Zotero could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file.
    I've deleted my cache, restarted firefox and computer, tried in various versions of Firefox (currently 8.0 which the add-on store says is compatible). I'm running brand new Mac with Windows for Mac 2011, have tried downloading in Safari & dropping into Firefox, from the Firefox add-ons and directly from the site. The add-ons says - unable to install & both the other methods list the above error (cannot modify the needed file).
    Thanks in advance.

    This can be a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache, extensions.rdf) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.<br />
    New files will be created when required.

    If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left side of the Search Bar (or click the "Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to do a compatibility check or see if there is an update.

    You usually get this error if you try to install an extension that needs to be unpacked to work properly.<br />
    Current Firefox version do not unpack an extension automatically, but rename the xpi file to the extension's GUID.
    An extension that needs to be unpacked should have an unpack flag in its install.rdf file
    <pre><nowiki><em:unpack>true</em:unpack></nowiki></pre>
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Updating_extensions_for_Firefox_4.0#XPI_unpacking
    You can try to set the extensions.alwaysUnpack pref to true on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    The extension seems to install, but I haven't tested if it works.

  • Add-on could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the necessary file.

    I see that for the issue:
    <Add-on> could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the necessary file.
    The usual fixes include:
    - ensuring that xpinstall.enabled is set to true
    - ensuring that extensions.alwaysUnpack is set to true
    What might be the non-usual fixes as I have set both to true and I still get the message above.
    I have tried installing the <add-on> after I have set the values to true, then again after restarting my browser, then again after restarting my computer and finally tried creating a new profile and repeated each of the steps after setting the 2 preferences to true.

  • I am unable to install "Springpad extension" It states "could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file"

    I have just installed Firefox 4.0. I cannot install the extension called Springpad extension, found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/springpad/
    I click add to Firefox, it downloads, prompts me that the author is not verified and I click 'Install Now'. It then says "Springpad extension could not be installed because Firefox cannot modify the needed file". What am I missing here?

    Unable to get Springpad Browser Extension to show up on my browser even though it is with-in my existing add-ons. I was having problems with the Springpad Browser Extension so I thought I would uninstall it and reinstall it but that hasn't worked. So I would like to know how to get it back so I can use it. When I go to the help button and click add-ons to search for Springpad, it does not come up in the results. So I tried using the link on my Springpad homepage website, but it didn't work. Then I searched Firefox support and found this post and tried installing it using the link here. It shows up now in my list of existing add-ons, but when I enabled it, it did not show up on my browser as a clickable icon I can use to spring a web-site. I'm stuck now!
    However, the reason for uninstalling it is there is no longer a"back arrow, the + sign, home, or scissors" at the top of the Springpad Browser Extension for Firefox? I have to log out and back in in order to get back to my notebooks because I am unable to get to them without a home button or a back button...and now I can't just click the scissors to spring a web-page. How are we supposed to spring a web-page now?
    Disappointed,
