Why do my numbers documents not open and ask for a newer version

trying open numbers docs, told need newer version to open them, go to apps search for updates and none exist, *** Apple??? please tell me how to commence and open my business docs to do my work?

Hi Kiwi Wodner,
This is confusing to a lot of people. When you downloaded the new version of Numbers (this would have happened automatically unless you turned off 'Install app updates' in System Preferences > App Store) the old version remained on your Mac. The new version is in Applications. The old version is in a subfolder within Applications. The icons look similar so it's easy to think you're trying to open a document with the new version whereas in fact the old version has been activated and is trying to open it.
If you tend to open documents from Finder then right-click and Open With ... Numbers.app (3.0).
Or you can open Numbers 3.0 (the one in the Applications folder, not the iWork '09 subfolder) and open the document from there.
Any icons you had on the Dock before the upgrade are of course still pointing to the old version.

Why do my Numbers documents not open? Says I need new version, but already updated.

I updated Numbers, but now when I try to open a Numbers document, it tells me I need a newer version available at the app store. The app store tells me I am up to date. What do I do now?

Be sure you're opening the document with the version of Numbers that is in your main Applications folder. (The old version is still on your Mac, in a subfolder named iWork '09, and any icon you had on your Dock still points to that old version).

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and have just upgraded my Mac operating system to Yosemite with the newest version of Java 2014 running. When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?

Hi Daddyfred,
CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.

When I try to open an .ai/pdf file received through my email, it won't open and asks for a password. I have never set up any kind of password for email security, but have tried typing in my standard passwords. Nothing works. I wonder if it has anything to do with the use of my Wacom3 Tablet...I've been having trouble with it and was getting the same message when trying to open the User's Manual in my Applications/WacomTablet file on my hard drive. Any suggestions? I just downloaded the latest version for the Wacom and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.7 (which I hate, and my CS3 hates, etc.)

It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

My Roboform passwords did not transfer when I downloaded the 4.0.1 version of FF. I downloaded and paid for a new version of Roboform which should have shown up as a toolbar but didn't. Can't seem to solve this problem.

Windows XP on Dell Dimension 4600. Updated Firefox to 4.0.1 successfully but Roboform didn't transfer. Help told me I needed to update Roboform. I did and paid for a new version(7.?)which was $9.95. Roboform wants more details but I can't tell what they want. I'm baffled and frustrated since all my passwords are hidden somewhere. Wish I'd never upgraded FF.

Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

Pages document will not open unless I buy a newer version

I wrote a document only a few days ago using Pages v. 4.3. Now, when I try to open the document, it says that I need to buy a newer version of Pages if I want to open the document. How do I get access to my document? This is the only item that I have found so far that I can't open with my current version of Pages (the same version that I wrote the document with).

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store.

PSE 12 Editor is not launching - Window opens and asks for registration

I have PSE 12 (German Version) and had this successfully installed and working on my home desktop. End of January I moved to the US for some months and have installed my PSE 12 on my laptop (Win 8). I have moved the entire cataloque according to instructions from the desktop to an external hard disk and reconnected it with the new installation. After checking my installation of PSE 12 on the laptop (everything worked fine) I have deleted the installation on my desktop.
After a good week, today I have tried to launch PSE Editor (from the main start window, where it offers on the top left the Organizer and right the Editor (as buttomns). As soon as I press the Editor bottomn, a new window opens and requests me to do registration of my product "within 7 days - otherwhise I can no longer use the software". Again this is a German Version and I just translate. In this window, I can enter my Adobe ID & password, which I did. Some seconds after entering my access data the window closes and shows the PSE launch window again. When I then want to launch the Editor, the same cycle starts: The window opens, requesting to do my registration.
I can open the Organizer with no problem and it works. But even from the organizer I can not launch the Editor.
My account shows that I have successfully registered my S/N & Product, which I did back some month ago when I had purchased it.
Who can helpl me?

PSE 6 is indeed compatible with Windows 7 -- many people have reported successfulling using it. (But Adobe won't provide any support.) See this FAQ:

I have updated my numbers app on my desktop, but now I can't open files I have saved to my desktop. It tells me that it can't be opened and there is a newer version of numbers. I already have that. What to do?

Does anyone have an answer? I can't get apple support. I have files that I need that I can't open because I get an error that there is a new version of numbers, but I have already downloaded it.

Illustrator CC won't open and asks for Verdana font to be enabled

Has anyone encountered this error message?
"Illustrator CC has stopped working. Please enable Verdana font(s) and relaunch Illustrator."
I've checked the font and it's enabled but Illustrator refuses to open. I uninstalled CC and reinstalled it, but still no joy.
I'm running the latest version of Suitcase Fusion 5 and Verdana is enabled. CS6 seems to work, but my CC files are not opening in an editable form on CS6.
Mac running latest OS.

Just of late, Firefox will not open, have tried to uninstall, but it tells me I have to shut Firefox but it is not open! same problem downloading new version

Wherever I find Firefox on my computer, it will not open. i cannot get beyond the icon or the file. Clicking on them gets no result.
If I try to uninstall and download again, it tells me it cannot proceed in either case until I close Firefox. But it will not close. So I am totally stuck. It worked well up to about a fortnight ago.

hello xennophon, does the following help article contain a solution for your problem?: [["Firefox is already running but is not responding" error message - How to fix it]]
in some cases this error at startup might also be a symptom of malware active on the pc. please do a full scan of your system with your security software already in place and/or an alternative like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ free version of malwarebytes].

Please help how can i reinstall mac.

None of the options work. I press the power on button keeping the option and R button pressed but the only option that appears is
First blank white screen appears as soon as i power on (option R is pressed) and then the following message
No bootable Device -- Insert boot disk and press any key
(Ethernet cable is connected but it does not go for internet recovery either)
No more activity.
Also if you can guide from where I can download OS X Lion for reinstalling it to the imac, please.
Does every mac come with a restore/bootable disk or not? We ordered two macs but did not get any disk with any of them.
