Numbers update warning, however, Numbers is up-to-date

Hi,

When trying to open a spreadsheet in numbers, I get the warning that I need a newer version of numbers to open the spreadsheet. However, numbers is up to date (version 3.2.2). Also, the App store says there are no updates available.

The problem only occurred after I opened that spreadsheet on my iPad (running ios 8).

My macBook pro (mid 2010) runs OSX 10.9.5.

Can anyone help me fix the issue?

I tried updating software, restarting Numbers and restarting the computer.

Thanks,

Ive

That is because you are trying to open a document made in an earlier version of Numbers.

Hi Ive-P,

While Numbers 3 is installed '09 is still on your machine. If you try to open a 3 file from '09 you will get that message. Wayne has a fuller explaination here.

Need newer version of Numbers to open file
