Why do I have to go to app store to open new version of Numbers on my computer?

Why can I only open the new version of numbers through the app store?

Hi Arnie.carol,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you may be trying to open the new version of Numbers, which is installed on your computer, but when you attempt to open it you only see the old version opening. If this is the case, it can be explained by the information in the following article about updating iWork:
About the new iWork for Mac: Features and compatibility - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6049
In the meanwhile, you can continue to use these features by accessing the previous versions of the iWork applications which remain installed on your Mac. The previous versions can be found in Applications > iWork ’09.
You can double check this by utilizing a right-click on the Numbers icon in your dock, and choosing “Show in Finder,” which should take you to the application:
OS X Mavericks: Shortcuts for the Dock
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13718
See an item in the Finder
Command (⌘)-click the item’s icon, or Control-click the icon, then choose Options > Show in Finder.
From there, you can check the version number to see if it matches the updated version number in the App Store. Next, if you wish to always open the new version of Numbers by clicking on the icon in the Dock, open the application from the App Store as you have been doing, then right-click on the active Numbers application (the one that will have a light below it), and choose to add the application to the Dock by choosing “Keep in Dock”:
Add an open app to the Dock
Control-click the app’s icon, then choose Options > Keep in Dock.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

    I have my iPad from a US store (Miami). Why I cannot buy from the US app store?

    Are you in the US with a US based account and a US billing address ? If you aren't then you can't buy from the US store - you can only buy content from your own country's store. If you are in the US then do you get any messages when you try to purchase from the store ?

  • TS1702 why, after i have paid for an app, is it "no longer avaiable"

    why, after i have paid for an app, is it "no longer avaiable"... I went to sync my phone and the app is no longer there. When trying to add it back to my phone through sync it says "app is no longer available"

    Because it was removed from the app store by the developer.
    Didn't you have a copy of it in the iTunes library on your computer?

    DNS -
    Some folks resolve download and other connection issues by using either OpenDNS or Google Public DNS services. The best use is to use it as the DNS configuration in your modem/router/gateway device, but often the configuration in the computer or iOS device will over ride the other configuration if you don't have access.

  • Why cant i buy download anything from the app store after the new ios7 update?

    Why cant I download anything from the app store after updating to the ios7.02 system?

    Do you have a song or podcast in iTunes that did not finish downloading? If you do - finish that one first. The apps will not update until that download is complete.
    If that doesn't do it - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out. Restart the iPad. 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. Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if you can tap on one app and start the download.

  • TS2446 Why my apple ID cannot use at Apps Store?

    Why my apple ID cannot use at Apps Store? I have sign in then must click 'Review'?

    I've tried it and I get 'none' on the payments screen.
    Selecting the first free app that I found, I clicked the 'free' button underneath it :
    I then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
    Clicked 'continue' on the 'welcome' screen
    Agreed to the terms and conditions
    Put in an email address on the 'Apple id' screen (the email address can't already be on an account)
    And clicking 'continue' to go to the payments screen gave me :

    Ok thanks - that explains it:
    From the Apple article: "
    Note: Touch ID cannot be used for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately."
    Not sure why - but clearly intentional.

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • 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

    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.

  • Why can't I purchase on the app store?

    I have an early 2008 Macbook Pro that I had purchased the Snow Leopard for through the app store. I just paid the 20.00 bucks and downloaded it without any issues. I have now given the computer to my brother and in order to have all of my stuff erased and it set up under his apple id and such I had to reboot the system using the startup discs that came with the computer originally. No issues there, I was able to do it but I want to upgrade it now to Yosemite but of course it has to be an OS X system no later than 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard. I understand that I have to pay for it again and that is not an issue BUT now I have to order it and wait for it to come as is appears to not be available on the Apple app store anymore.... does anyone know if I am missing something? Its saying that it wont arrive until Jan 5 and I was hoping to have all of this done before Christmas so I am super bummed....
    Many Thanks

    You needed Snow Leopard to get to anything higher. So, yes, that disc must be bouncing in a drawer somewhere.
    If you can't find the SL disc, you could try to download the installer for whatever you did buy online for $20 (Lion? ML?) on your new Mac, then use that installer to upgrade the old Mac. I don't know whether that procedure will work--you may still need SL on the old Mac to upgrade to something higher--but it's worth a shot.
    First, on the new Mac, go to the App Store and check your Purchases. See if you can find a link for the previously purchased Lion or ML. But because the purchase may be tied to the serial number or some other unique machine identifier of the old Mac, perhaps you won't find the old purchase. (I don't know. I haven't been down this road.) However, if the purchases are tied instead to your Apple ID, then you might reasonably expect to see these old purchases in the App Store on the new machine. If so, follow the instructions that you find on the net (for instance, http://osxdaily.com/2013/11/01/re-download-os-x-mavericks-installer-mac-app-stor e/ or http://osxdaily.com/2014/02/24/re-download-older-os-x-version-from-mac-app-store /) for downloading but not installing the Lion/ML installer on the new machine and then transferring that installer to the old machine.
    Good luck!

  • How do i edit my billing info if my credit card associated with apple id expired and i have a duty to app store from the time when i had the old credit card?

    how do i edit my billing info if my credit card associated with apple id expired and i have a duty to app store from the time when i had the old credit card?
    so the thing is a few days ago i made an app store purchase and i didn't know i was running out of money on my credit card. i realized that only when i tried to purchase another item and it didn't work. nothing special til here. the problem is that meanwhile my credit card was replaced by a new one by the bank because the old one was soon expiring. So the data associated with the old credit card no longer exist.
    i tried to edit my billing info associated with my apple id in order to enter the new credit card data, but the system doesn't allow me to do that.
    so i can neither pay my purchase, nor edit my info, nor access app store anymore.
    what's next? any ideas? thanks
