I updated the operating system to Yosemite and still Numbers files won't open. Any tips?
Hi susan,
More clues are needed. Maybe you have a question already going?
Are the files originally '08? Is there a message?

I have Numbers '09. When I try to open file I get a box that says "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet". "You can download the latest version of Numbers from the Mac App Store." I created this file last week on the same computer!
Looks like that latest version costs 19.99. I read on some forum that I just needed to upgrade to the latest Yosemite, which I did. It seemed to work temporarily? But now it won't open.
Hi susan,
I think you have both Numbers '09 and Numbers 3 on your computer. I think the file you created last week is 3 and you are trying to open it in '09.
The icon for the most recent Numbers 3.5 looks like this:
Numbers 3.5 should be in applications. In your applications folder you will have an iWork '09 folder. Numbers '09 should be in there. You can have them both open at the same time so it can get confusing.
