Importing inventory file from a mac

Hello,

I am trying to import my inventory file via Mac using Numbers. I keep getting an error.

Whoops. There was an error.
The file uploaded is not a valid CSV file due to “Unquoted fields do not allow \r or \n (line 4).”. If you have opened the file in Excel or Open Office, please be sure to save it as a .csv file.

This is a CSV file that Shopify created of my current store inventory. I followed the instructions on Bonanza’s CSV format.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Open the file in Numbers and then use the SAVE AS… function (under the File menu) to make sure the the file is saved in proper CSV format. If you don’t have any commas in your information, then use comma delimited option. If you have commas, then use the TAB delimited option.
