Numbers opening a saved file alias snafu

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use analternative browser.
I'm going to take A GUESS that the "alias error" is less a problem with the alias itself as the fact that you're trying to open a "newer version" (Tahoe) of a Numbers files using an older version of Numbers?

Again, only a guess, and I could be wrong.

I'd like to offer a couple of suggestions:

First, do this from your Tahoe version of Numbers (on the MBair?).

Open the file in question.

Go to File --> Export and try exporting to Numbers '09.
Give the file an appropriate name "modification" so you won't get confused as to which is which.
export to.jpg

Then, move the file to the Mac (or is it an iPad ?), and see if it will open from that format.

DON'T use an alias. Move the actual file.

ANOTHER OPTION:
Repeat the above process, but instead of exporting to Numbers '09, try Excel instead.
Then, IMPORT from the Excel file on the other Mac/iPad.

If one way doesn't work, perhaps the other way will...
 
that "fix alias" appears.
the file reads 912 bytes and has a white icon instead of the logo of NUMBER
Don't open the alias, it's broken. Open the original actual file.

sadly that was erased along with Tahoe.

thanks for the reply!

I tried everything you suggested, I never had this snafu!
thanks for your depth effort,Fishrrman
 
If you still have the Numbers (Tahoe) file that won't open, take it to another Mac running Tahoe and export it (to a flashdrive or something) into a Numbers 09 file. See if that helps.

You might be able to do this at an Apple Store... (no promises).
thanks, that is a solution I might OCLP a spare drive on the MBP 12' or just call this snafu a day!

I should have air dropped that as this file is the only thing on my iCloud.
but I figure, hey I saved the file like the other 78GBs other ones that open, go figure!
the apple store is 37 mile bike ride on vigorous roads that hate cyclists.
too bad no one here in my village uses the computer.......
