The most common reason for not being able to open a document is that you are inadvertently using the older version of Numbers after having edited the document in the newer verison of Numbers. You can't go back, at least not easily. In Finder, Right-click the document name and choose Open With... Numbers (3.1).

Mar 20, 2014 11:43 AM in response to Jerrold Green1by Willy1701,Jerrold, I'm now reading through all the posts and believe me I know what I'm doing when I open a file.
Some files stop working. We have a suspecion that it has something today with file synchronization for off-site storage, but have no evidence. Other posters have pointed into the same direction.

What off-site synchronization system are you using?

Mar 20, 2014 1:01 PM in response to SGIIIby Willy1701,I figured out that it doesn't matter, actually it is Qsync, but other prgrams such Sugar Sync create teh same problem
The sync program adds a suffix to the files insite the numbers container
When looking at the files inside the Numbers file/folder, I saw this (note: Alphonse is the name of my computer):
drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut staff 306B Mar 14 09:21 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 thibaut staff 272B Mar 14 09:30 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 thibaut staff 26B Mar 4 14:31 .LSOverride
drwxr-xr-x 2 thibaut staff 68B Mar 14 09:21 Data
-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff 262K Jan 3 13:21 Index (from Alphonse).zip
drwxr-xr-x 5 thibaut staff 170B Mar 14 09:21 Metadata
-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff 101K Jan 3 13:21 preview (from Alphonse).jpg
-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff 1.4K Jan 3 13:21 preview-micro (from Alphonse).jpg
-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff 11K Jan 3 13:21 preview-web (from Alphonse).jpg
I renamed the files to remove the suffix, like this:
-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff 11K Jan 3 13:21 preview-web.jpg
drwxr-xr-x@ 9 thibaut staff 306B Mar 14 09:32 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 thibaut staff 272B Mar 14 09:30 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 thibaut staff 26B Mar 4 14:31 .LSOverride

-rw-r--r--@ 1 thibaut staff 101K Jan 3 13:21 preview.jpg
That fixed the problem and the file now opens correctly in Numbers 3.
You can take the numbers file into a windows machin, the file is shown as a folder and then remive teh suffix.
and like magic the file can then be opend in Numbers V3.1

Mar 20, 2014 1:08 PM in response to Willy1701by SGIII,So, so far, we know that Qsync and SugarSync alter the suffixes within a Numbers document package.
You can take the numbers file into a windows machin, the file is shown as a folder and then remive teh suffix.
Or, in Finder, right-click the Numbers document and choose Show Package Contents. The contents will appear as in any other folder in Finder and you can edit the suffixes there.
