Why in the blue blazes can't I use my old "iWork's " numbers when I downloaded the software onto my computer that has Yosem

For years I used 1)apple works, 2)then iWork's 8 3)even iWork's  9 to do the books for a small business.  Now that I have a computer with yosemite I can't even make a spreadsheet.
I have loaded my older iWork's 8 software into my computer PRAYING that I could then just make spread sheets using it, or even more blessedly, not having to
update every freaking report/spreadsheet I had done over the past years and transfer them individually.
No, I can't use my old software, nor can I even figure out how to make comparable spreadsheets for a template, if I have to do everything from scratch I will no longer use apple software for such--yes, if you are listening, that is me screaming at the top of my lungs.

mama,
I am sorry you are so frustrated.  Keep in mind these forums are answered by fellow users.  Non of us are Apple employees.
We are focused on trying to find solutions to problems that exist now with the constraint that we can only use what is available to every other user.  Yelling or venting here is really a waste of good energy.
If you have iWork '09 installed then you should use that to migrate Numbers '08 files as you come across them.  Numbers '08 is dead and is not supported.  For that matter I guess that Numbers '09 is likely to be dead-ended soon.  You should make sure you have completed all updates by
- opening the Finder menu item " > App Store..." then clicking the "Updates" button:
The latest Number (version 3.x) will open Numbers '09 documents
Numbers '09 (version 2.x) will open Numbers '09 and Numbers '08
I do not think Numbers '08 will run on Yosemite (but I cannot check that).
You can have both Numbers '09 (version 2.x) installed on the same computer as Numbers 3.x
The two icons look like this:
     Numbers                    Numbers
          2.x                              3.x
I keep both in my doc so that I know which one I am launching.  To open a particular document with a particular version of Number drag and drop the document on the appropriate icon in the doc.  Note that Numbers '09 CANNOT open documents created, or saved by, Numbers 3.x.
If you have specific question, please post back

  • The URL bar can also be used for a search engine, but when I search something a page pops up reading "The URL is not valid."

    When I click on the URL bar it says to insert address or search, yet when I search it says the URL is not valid, which is obvious because I didn't put in a URL, I searched something. I never installed an add on or anything. It just quit working one time and hasn't worked since.

    Does it happen to all the search words or particular words?

  • I had the icloud account changed on the iPad (have added new ID and deleted old one). However when updating/downloading , it still asks for password to the previous account...?

    I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!

    Maybe you should set it up as new device again:

  • It says I am using an old version of firefox, when I have the newest version.

    Every websites (including firefox.com) is telling me that I am using an old version browser, but I am sure that I am running Firefox 10.0 (the latest version for now).

    Hi,
    This could be because the browser [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent user agent] got overridden/corrupted by an add-on or manually. You can try to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default reset it].

    I want to cut out a head from a photo and insert it into another photo again. In the head hair flying in the wind and the blue sky can be seen between the hairs. This blue sky I want to remove, so I can only use the head with hair flying in another photo. Is it possible to simply delete this blue color of the sky?

    Make your selection and then use Refine Edge.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

    Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

  • Why dont you take ios 7 and take out a feature so the ipod 4 can have enough space to take it I suggest when you touch your screen and the keyboard appears and make the old way.

    Why dont you take ios 7 and take out a feature so the ipod 4 can have enough space to take it I suggest when you touch your screen and the keyboard appears and make the old way.

    We're all users like yourself, if you would like to leave feedback to Apple go to Contact Us at the bottom of this page then go to Feedback and leave your concern. iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM. Only the iPod 5 has 512MB RAM. The iPod 4 only has 256MB RAM. Hope this helps, Good luck.

    You will need to do what it says, contact iTunes Support. These are user-to-user support forums, if you thought you were contacting Apple by posting here. Go here:

  • I used an American Express card to purchase my Ipad from Apple online. I have an Apple ID. why can't I use Amex as my payment method when signing in to Itunes?

    I have an Apple ID, created when I recently purchased an ipad from Apple online. I used my Amex as payment method. Why can I not use my Amex as payment method when signing in to iTunes for the first time?

    Yup, I'm a Kiwi, living in sunny Blenheim. Just seems odd that I can use Amex for purchasing in the Apple store but not in the iTunes store. Perhaps the higher charge set by Amex is not  economic for small purchases? Anyway,
    I know now what to do now - buy an iTunes gift card and enter the activation code to redeem and sign up. Sorted! Thanks Kappy for taking an interest in my query.

    That is not a practically empty xinitrc - that file only needs one line: exec WM.  Other things are entirely optional, and some of them very useful, but I'd encourage you to stick with the simplest xinitrc that will do what you require.
    Is slim involved?  Probably.  That is the source of many problems.  But to start narrowing this down, I have 3 suggestions:
    1) temporarily (at least) change your inittab to default to runlevel 3 ... actually, is it currently set to 5 or 3? if it is currently 3 that would explain why slim doesn't start.
    2) at a tty in runlevel 3 use "xinit" instead of "startx".  Startx is fine most of the time, but it is essentially just a complex wrapper for xinit.  That complexity can often iadd useful functionality, but it *always* makes troubleshooting more difficult.  So for now just use a vanilla 'xinit'.
    3) remove dbus-launch from your exec line in xinitrc.  This is done by console-kit so it is redundant and potentially problematic.  Further BOTH of these are taken care of by slim, so I'd even suggest getting both a jump start on being ready for slim and simplifying troubleshooting by removing both of them.  Just make that line "exec openbox-session"
    Edit: adding one more:
    4) temporarily switch out openbox-session for openbox.  I suspect the reason feh's setting of the background is getting overridden is due to a script or setting in openbox's autostart settings - many of these are only invoked when "openbox-session" is called, while "openbox" starts *just* the window manager itself.
