Just did an update the other day. Since then, I cannot open my "Numbers" files. It says "The index.xml file is missing" HELP !!
MacBook Pro, iOS 7.0.4, Pages documents
do you have a Time Machine backup you can use to revert the file to a date before the update?
What about are there any versions listed in menu item:
"File > Revert To > ..."

THANK YOU for your reply.
Yes, I have TIme Machine backups and selected one copy from a few days ago, but when I went to open it, I got the same message about the "index.xml file" being missing..
Something is really messed up with "Numbers".
I think I will have to go to the Apple store SOON. I have several projects ongoing and I need my spreadsheet access.
THANKS again.

Hi Joann,
It seems that Numbers 3 has "stolen" (converted) a Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) document.
I created and save a document in Numbers '09. I named it "Numbers '09 saved in Numbers 3" as a test.
I opened it in Numbers 3.5.3 and saved.
Now when I try to open it in Numbers '09, I get this message:
Be sure which version of Numbers is trying to open a document.
Your Applications folder contains Numbers 3. Drag the icon to your Dock.
A sub-folder named iWork '09 contains Numbers '09. Drag the icon to your Dock.
Numbers '09 (3 column graph) on the left.
Numbers 3 (four column graph) on the right.
See this User Tip:
Need newer version of Numbers to open file
Regards,
Ian.
Dear Yellowbox:
THANK YOU !!! That solved the problem.
I had no idea I was dealing with two versions of NUMBERS. I always assume that when I do updates, they become active. Not true, apparently.
I put the newer version of NUMBERS in the dock and opened the files in question through that, and they opened fine.
THANKS SO MUCH !!!!
