Why won't iWork's 09 open iWork's 08 files?

I created files in my IMac in Numbers.  I have IWork 08.  I just purchased Numbers for my IPad 2 and it will not open the iMac files I send it. 

I took off the face plate inside the the tray to make sure there was a spot for a Airport Extreme card (there is, and I'll be getting one =D ), and I noticed an eject button on the disc drive itself (right hand side), upon pressing that, it opened up just fine, so we can assume the drive works fine, however, I also noticed a little green light on the left hand side that is not illuminated. Should it be? Does this help at all? It's strange that the eject button on the drive works, and then it reads the CD I put in it, and will eject it with the button on the keyboard, but once I took the disk out it became inert again. =S
Also, when I put the disk in, I went to the about this Mac, and then to ATA and it showed this:
Without a disk it shows this:
I think I had originally been looking at Serial-ATA which just says:
This system does not contain any Serial-ATA devices. If you have any Serial-ATA devices installed, please check that they are connected and powered on.
I hope this helps.

  • Why won't my Adobe Bridge open?

    Why won't my Adobe Bridge Open? I keep getting an error message. I first installed the free trial of Illustrator CS 6, but a few days ago joined the creative cloud. I would just uninstall & reinstall Bridge, but its not in the list of apps to install. Since joining the cloud I have also installed photoshop & indesign. Doesn't Adobe have chat support? I used in when first signing up for Cloud. Now I can't find it.
    Thanks!

    Hi Trisher83,
    Bridge gets installed along with other programs (like Illustrator or Photohop) so it might require uninstalling all CS6 products to be able to reinstall it.
    I would uninstall all CS6 products and then reinstall one which includes Bridge from a new user account and test to see if you still get the error.
    These links might be helpful for reaching support

  • Why won't Photoshop Elements 12 open?

    After being away for 3 months, I attempted to open and use PSE 12 and it does not open.  Today I uninstalled and reinstalled thinking that would help, but it doesn't.  It appears as though it's going to open, but the little "streaming" just stops.  Your assistance in resolving this problem is greatly appreciated.

    I am not a technician so I can't go too deep in the analysis... I did all I could imagine to do, I would like that somebody from Adobe would take care of this issue finding solution to the problem.

    >Hoping that you get a break through in your troubleshooting. Do not give up. I kept searching and searching for an answer to my Photoshop Elements 12 Full Editor not opening while the Elements Organizer 12 would. I have reams of data from October 2013 to April 2014 troubleshooting of the issue. Everything pointed to an activation issue but I could never target the place to fix until my break through came unexpectedly. And, as I found out, the SLStore Folder and SLCache Folder have "something" to do with activation according to the Adobe person who put forth what turned out to be the solution for me. Based on my encounter with this problem, I would say Windows No, Photoshop Elements activation Yes.

    And there we have the answer, the device was dropped.  A hardware issue exists... nothing that we can do to fix it but suggest you replace the device with a newer model or seek an Out of Warranty exchange at the Apple store.

  • Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

    Why won't Log and Transfer in FCP7 recognize video files from my SD card? They were shot on a cheepo Aiptek camera.

    David, the camera shoots .mov files. I have the latest version of QuickTime installed but still nothing.
    I teach high school, but I'm reluctant to download FCPX for my students at the moment. I may try it but I really want to stick with what we're using currently, at least for now.
    iMovie started to import files, but very slowly. I guess I'm frustrated that the files shot on the Canons I also use transfer just fine, but the Aiptek camera isn't cooperating.
    Would you suggest using MPEG Streamclip?
    Thanks again in advance.

  • Why won't iWork on OSX Mavericks open ANY documents from iCloud?

    iWork isn't opening, or even finding any documents saved to iCloud on my iMac running 10.9.1
    These documents are showing up OK on my MacBook Pro running 10.9.1, iPhone and iPad.
    But they simply won't show up on Numbers or Pages 3.1 on this iMac.
    How do I get this iMac to see those documents saved in iCloud?

    Hi Joshua,
    On your iMac check two settings in System Preferences > iCloud. 
    Make sure Documents & Data is checked,
    Then click the Options.. button there, and make sure Numbers.app is checked:
    If these setting are already correct try the Sign Out button and then sign back in.
    Once syncing has started you should find the local copies of Numbers documents synced to iCloud at Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers.  To get there hold down the option key while in Finder and choose Go from the menu.

  • Why won't my pages documents open?

    So recently I tried to open up pages. If I click on the icon on the bottom, it won't work. It also has a weird black ring around the top. When I try to open up any other pages documents through Finder I get a message saying "the document "____" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct format."
    How do I fix this??? Help please!!!!!

    If you bought it on disk then it was installed inside the iWork folder inside the Applications folder. If it is no longer there and Pages documents no longer open then you have apparently managed to trash it.
    Reinstall from the DVD is probably the fastest way to get it all back working, make sure you update iWork after the install, the DVD version will not be the latest.
    It sounds also like you need to learn more about using your Mac. There are classes at the AppleStore and also tutorials in the general Support section of Apple's website, the one you see before you get into these communities.

  • Why won't my contact book open?

    I need help to get my contacts or address book open so that I can edit some information.  I don't know why it won't open.  Each time I click on the contacts app I get a problem report.  I'm copying paste (not the whole report) the information that states the error.  I don't understand and I can't figure where to search for troubleshooting. 
    Your help and advise are appreicated.

  • Why won't jpegs and gifs open

    Can anyone tell me why jpegs and gifs that are in a document created in Word for Windows won't open in Word for Mac. This is a huge problem for me because I have webpages that I created in Word for Windows and when I edit them in Word for Mac I loose the graphics.

    Word for Windows is a really poor webpage editor. It assumes everyone in the world uses Internet Explorer, and does not take the precautions of following standard HTML coding. A webpage document created in word may work in only Internet Explorer and maybe a few other web browsers.
    My suggestion is to learn HTML and/or use a webpage editor known to follow w3.org standards to the letter like http://www.barebones.com/ BBEdit. You can try several other web browsers for the Mac as well:

  • Why won't my pages 08 open on my upgrade to pages on new Macbook fall 2013

    Apple made all my old documents unusable with an upgrade to the free pages(2013).  I bought a new computer because the old computer could not upgrad the old software.  Apple says transfer to pages 09 first.  My old computer was a first generation Macbook core duo, and I don't believe it supported iwork 09.  So, I am stuck in upgrade ****.  I cant upgrade to iworks 09.  I cannot download the old software to make my free upgrade work.  Does this mean I have to find a difficulty way to salvage all my hundreds of documents made over many years of being a Pages loyalist.  I am very disappointed with this lack of attention to detail and zero warning about problems with the upgrade.  Hopefully Apple makes things "just work" for loyal Apple customers, so they can be "delighted" with their Apple products.  Do I sound bitter.  I have never had a major issue since OS7.  That is a long time ago.

    The update is available for those using iWork '09. Even if it were possible to update iWork '08 to the new versions, you would have many, many problems. The new versions cannot open any iWork '08 or earlier documents or templates. You will get an error saying to open the files in iWork '09 then open them in the new version. I suggest that you buy a retail copy of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon or eBay & then update to the new iWork apps in the Mac App Store. You might check this link for the iWork '09 trial. I have no idea if it is still available.
    iWork '09 will run on your MacBook. I have it on a G4 iMac running Tiger. You can see the tech specs for all versions of iWork on this page.

  • Why won't MS Word '98 open?

    Hello to everyone..
    My problem is this ... every time I go near Word, the screen freezes with the opening logo ie. "Word '98 for Macintosh" .. the watch icon comes up as if it's going to open it and can still be moved over the screen, but cannot be clicked with any effect. I am truly illiterate when it comes to the whys and wherefores, but I would appreciate some help with this. As far as I know I have not done anything differently.
    Kind Regards ... Sue.
    G3   Mac OS 9.2.x  

    Disk First Aid was the first thing I tried when the problem arose .. I meant that Word was initialising .. not the hard drive .. is that what it does? Well, I thought when it began doing that, it was about to open .. that was after I removed all the MS, Office and MS office prefs like you suggested, but then it crashed .. Word that is! So I did Disk First Aid again .. and have rebuilt the desktop several times .. First Aid says that everything seems to be ok. GRRRRR!! How can I find a corrupted file if Disk Aid tells me that everything is ok?
    Oh .. thanks for your patience ..
