Version-0.apversion could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files of this type

Hi - I created a file in Numbers a couple of years ago and have been able to update it monthly since its creation.


This morning I have tried to open the file and am getting the "Version-).apversion" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files of this type.


Any ideas for a fix?

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hi Amelie,

There are three major versions of Numbers:

  • Numbers '08
  • Number '09
  • Numbers 3


It is possible that an automatic update by App Store has installed the latest version of Numbers (Numbers 3) on your machine.

Numbers 3 can not open a Numbers '08 document.

Which version of Numbers is giving that error message? (In Numbers, Menu > Numbers > About Numbers.)

Look in your Applications folder for sub-folders such as iWork '08 and iWork '09.


Please call back with questions.


Regards,

Ian.
