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 just reinstalled iPhoto and it will not open says it needs latest version but it has it

iPhoto will not load, it says it needs the latest version but when I check there are no updates. I had to reinstall the software,

What version of iPhoto do you have? What version did you have before reinstalling? Why did you have to reinstall?

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.

Can't open Numbers on computer, it says to download new version but new version is already installed

I cant open Numbers in my computer, it says to download new version in app store. i have done that but it still continues to give me that message.

Are you launching Numbers from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Numbers from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

ITunes will not load--says I need new version of Quick Time

I've used iTunes for a year and downloaded the new software 7.01--it will not run, says I need to install new version of Quick time. I removed all versions of iTunes off my computer and reinstalled iTunes with same result--Need to install new version of Quick Time. I did this and Quick time said--Can't install because a more current version of Quick time is already installed. Catch 22? Is this a do loop of apple frustration or what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
iTunes used to work great, I'm very disappointed in apple right now.

i can take pictures off my phone but thats it, i have some nice programs for pictures and art work and cant get them back on my phone to send them to friends and family.

Updated pages today but when I try to open a document I created I get a message saying you need new version, but i have the new version! So frustrating - HELP!

Updated Pages today - created a document. Went back few hours later to send it as email attachment - got a message saying Pages needs to be updated to open. Went to Mac app page and it said it was updated. Document won't open - what do I do???? Keeps saying to upgrade but it is upgraded - ARGH!

Here is a possible solution.
You should still have Pages 4.3, the old version, on your computer in Applications>iWork09. If you have the old Pages 4.3 running when you open the file, Pages 4.3 will warn you that you need to update because the new Pages uses a different file format. You can open the file in two ways.
Quit Pages 4.3, then open the file.
Right-click the file and choose to open the file in Pages 5.0.
I hope this helps.

Can't reinstall Creative Cloud. Keeps saying I need newer version but when ZI down;load that is the newest version. Any help?

Creative Cloud disappeared and now wants to download new version which doesn't exist. I tried 9 times. Anyone know how to install a new version. I'ver been using Premiere CC for a year and never ran into a problem like this. Keeps circumventing me back to install latest version which I repeatedly have done.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone or iPad.

Have an older 17 MacBook Pro, running OS 10.5.8. Software update says everyting is current. Mac doesn't have iCloud, preferences still shows MobileMe. Just bought new iPhone 5S. Mac won't recognize phone, says I need newer version of iTunes. Have no problem with computer recognizing old phone 3 or 1-1/2 year old iPad. I suspect I need to update OS, but as software update isn't telling me to do so, can I? What version would I need to go to?

Your MacBook Pro can be updated to run Mac OS X "Snow Leopard". Buy it. That will enable you to run the latest iTunes version.

HELP! I had iPhoto on my mac, for some reason it was not responding or damaged. down loaded a new version but can't find my photos. any ideas please. I thought once on the mac always on the mac.

Sorry but we need details to help
What version of the OS do you have? What has changed since iPhtoo worked?
What exactly is the problem - you say "it was not responding" - You downloaded a new version (what version)" -you can't find yoru photos" none of which is helpful
look in your applications folder - is there an Iphoto application there? If so get info and report the version
Look in the picures folder - is there an iPhoto library there? If so exactly (including exact error messages) happens if you double click on it?
what else can you tell us that might help us assist you?

ipod touch disabled after too many tries with password. tried to restore through itunes but says we need latest version of software. now what?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Checking register and other spreadsheets not opening-said I need New Numbers which I thought I already downloaded

thought I already downloaded to new MB Pro w RD in Dec; taking advantage of Up to Date Program.
so much for filing 2013 taxes! none of the spreadsheets are opening.

After you upgraded you now have both the Previous version (located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09") and the new version (located in the folder "/Applications").
You are getting that message because you are trying to use the previous version of Numbers to open a new version formatted file.
Numbers 2.3 Numbers 3.0
As you can see the icons are similar, but different. Being aware of which version of Numbers you are using will help you when opening files.
When you get that message simply open the same file with the newer version.
