Error message: the index.xml file is missing.

I am trying to open a 'Numbers' file, which is stored in Dropbox in the cloud.

I know there are some discussions about this already on this support group but they all suggest to back up files in Time Machine. I use Dropbox for years with no problems, but today I tried to open a file of numbers in Dropbox and received the message: "the index.xml file is missing." I have 2 other computers and an iPhone 6 and the file opens on them perfectly so my problem is with a single computer.

I tried pulling the file from Dropbox on the desktop of another computer and then send this file to me as an attachment. I opened this file on the computer sends me questions, drag the file on the desktop and when I tried to open the file, I got the same message.

It's just strange that it will not be open on computers.

Any advise?

Thank you, Tony

Hi Tony,.

This is somethng that occurs when you try to open a file of 3 numbers to 2 digits ('09). Make sure that you leave 2 numbers and then try to open the file of numbers 3. That should do it.

  • "The document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.

    I suddenly can't open one of my docs of numbers. I get a msg "'name of the doc' document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.  I literally had the open document this morning without problem, closed, tried to reopen and now I get this msg... all in the same session of the computer. It began not after an update or anything like that, right in the middle of a session of the computer.  You seem to affect all the docs of numbers.  I can't open an any of them now.  I am running OS X El Capitan Version 10.11 and numbers 09, Version 2.1.

    Hi jg,.

    The case usual this message, it is that the document has been opened in numbers version 3.xx, which converts it into a new file version that uses the file index.xml internal requested by Numbers ' 09.

    You have 3 numbers installed on your machine? This file has already been opened in this application?

    The file was saved to iCloud or opened by the iOS version numbers or numbers for iCloud?

    Recommended 'cure' is to open the file using the 3 numbers, then save as... or export to format Numbers ' 09. As a result, remember numbers to quit smoking (v3) - menu numbers > numbers to quit smoking; by clicking on the red light closed the file, but doesn't end numbers. So avoid open numbers files by double-clicking on the file itself.

    Instead, start Numbers ' 09 (v2.3) and open the file in the application.

    Kind regards

  • The index.xml file required is missing. Cannot open documents. 10.10.5 sys

    The index.xml file required is missing. Cannot open documents. 10.10.5 sys

    You have two versions of installed Pages, where the Pages ' 09 document format use it internal document index.xml, and all Pages v5 releases use a different document format that does not incorporate the index.xml file. If you have Pages ' 09 running without window, and double-click a v5 document Pages, you will get a Pages ' 09 dialog box indicating that the index.xml file is missing.

    Exit Pages ' 09 and then double click on the document to open correctly in your version of v5 Pages.

  • I'm not able to open my documents pages. I get the message: the requested index.xml file is missing.  I wonder if it is because I have updates 10.11.5

    I have an iMac (20-inch, mid 2007) processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory and recently updated to el capitan 10.11.5.  I have Pages ' 09, and I can't open my documents pages and get the message:

    The index.xml file required is missing.

    I now see that it says return to default pages 5.6.2.

    I can open them as 5.6.2 then save tehm in pages ' 09?

    Can someone help me with easy tips?

    Only the Pages ' 09 or old documents contain internal index.xml file. When you try to open a document in Pages ' 09 Pages v5, you get this dialog on the missing index.xml. The key is to stop Pages ' 09 and then double click on the document to open it in v5.6.2 Pages.

    Pages ' 09 will not leave by simply clicking on the red light on the title bar of the document. As long as the Pages ' 09 continues to run, it will intercept all attempts to open any document Pages, including incompatible versions of the v5 Pages.

    This has nothing to do with OS X 10.11.5. He has been a user focused on the issue since October 2013.

  • problem opening document pages. Get the message: the requested index.xml file is missing.

    I can't open the document 'Pages' and get "the index.xml file required is missing."

    You should post the related issues of Pages in the Pages for Mac community support.

    You try to open a document v5 Pages in Pages ' 08 or 09 ' which does not support the format of document Pages v5. Exit your application Pages ' 08 or 09 ' and then double-click the document even have it open in Pages v5.

    When you are in Pages ' 08, ' 09, or same v5, the red light on the title bar of the document just close the current document and fails to complete Pages.

    You open a file with Pages ' 09 Pages 5.x.

    You need to right-click on the file and open it with Pages 5.x (the one with the orange document icon).

  • How can I recover the index.xml file?

    I can't open a document Pages I've recently worked on. I get this message: I can't open a document, I worked on. I get the message: the requested index.xml file is missing.  What should I do? Thank you, Miriam

    You have two versions of Pages on your Mac and tried to open an incompatible v5 Pages document, while the Pages ' 09 still worked. You simply leave the Pages ' 09 (the purple ink bottle icon) and then double-click on the same document for it to open correctly in your version of Pages v5 (yellow paper with the pencil icon).

  • error message saying a .dll file is missing when I try to acess Mngr.vdmdbg task not found.

    I have uninstalled or deleted my Windows XP Pro VDMDBG.dll because I received error messages after

    I am now using the same IDE on this DIY PC like what I used to have XP Pro running. I ran an upgrade or r disc install to resign the drivers and at the same time you run some programs to uninstall some of the OLD drivers of the motherboard and temporary files, but I must have too deep because now, I have only this error message telling me that a .dll file is missing when I try to acess Mngr.vdmdbg task was not found. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Where can I go to download or difficulty this annoyance file or program? Thankx again! -Al

    Sounds messy.

    If you see a message like this:

    Taskmgr.exe - Unable to locate component
    This application has failed to start because VDMDBG.dll is not found.  Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    I downloaded a copy of XP Pro SP3 file you need on my SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for file sharing).

    You can download it and when you do, place a copy of the file in these two folders (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):

    c:\Windows\System32
    c:\Windows\System32\dllcache (this is where XP keeps backups of important files).

    Here is the link to my SkyDrive and you can get the file you need here:
    http://CID-6a7e789cab1d6f39.SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

    When you see the files available for download, you will not see the extension of file (.exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys, etc), but when download you them they will have the right extension.

    When you download the file (especially if you use Internet Explorer), when you get a chance to save the file, it cannot save the file with an extension (for example, .exe, .dll, .cpl, .sys) then you will need to manually add the extension appropriate to the file when you download the file before you save it.

    You can download the file without the extension, and then rename the file to add the appropriate extension.  You do not want to use a file called vdmdbg when the name of the file should really be called vdmdbg.dll (if the downloaded file has no extension, you will need to change the name of the file to add the appropriate extension to make it work.

    You then put the downloaded files in the correct folders on your system.

    PS Microsoft support engineers - "try running sfc/scannow and check if it helps" will not replace the missing vdmdbg.dll file because it is not what sfc/scannow does.  If you want to see an experiment to prove that, let me know because I have a ready-made.

  • Error message saying that some files are missing when loading Web site

    Recently, whenever I've updated my file of Muse and then exported and then downloaded via SFTP on my server, my pages Web load slowly and the browser opens with two error messages. A message says files are missing, and the second is a JavaScript error. When I FTP the files, I have all the FTP so I don't know why I keep seeing these two error messages. This happens on Chrome, FireFox, and Safari (haven't tested in IE).

    I managed to get a screenshot on Safari, but his error message is not as detailed as the Chrome.

    Here are the perforated cap of Safari:

    Muse-error - amsk library

    Can someone give me advice on what is the problem?

    My site is: www.goodseed.com.

    Thank you.

    Amos

    Thank you for helping me check on this issue. I spent the better part of two weeks racking my brains out on what was the cause of the error message. According to me, what it boiled down to a faulty firewall on the server of our hosting provider. He was blocking the movement of our own office, causing the site to not load completely. Since my webhost has adjusted the firewall settings and the site load very well now. It turns out that the problem began minutes after we downloaded news that we had designed in Muse. So, our first thought was that we had damaged our Muse file somehow. But thank God it was a firewall issue instead.

    Nitin and Zak thanks for your help.
