Auto updating in Numbers

Can any one say if its possible to set "auto updating" in Numbers 09" ?
I've recently imported a document from appleworks which had this facility but cannot find it in the new
app.
If it can be done -How?
Alan

Hi Alan,
I don't recall having used this option in an AppleWorks spreadsheet document (or data base document).
I know that AppleWorks supported inserting a fixed or auto-updating date into a word processing document or into a text frame in a spreadsheet, but that menu item was not available in the AW spreadsheet's Edit menu.
You can insert the current date into any cell in a Numbers table using Edit > Insert Date and Time, or by pressing shift-option-command-D. Despite what the menu item implies, this inserts the current date, but with the time set to 0:00 (midnight). This is a Fixed date entry; trhe value will not change until you replace it.
AppleWorks spreadsheets and Numbers tables both support the NOW() function, which returns the current date and time value. This will display the current date if the cell is formatted to show a date (AppleWorks) or to show Date and Time, with the Time format set to None, in Numbers. The values will update each time the table is recalculated (ie. every time a value is changed in any cell).
And, as Jerry notes, auto-updating dates update as soon as the document is opened, without waiting for the user to check the previous value. You may find inserting a fixed date more useful.
Regards,
Barry

How to turn off auto update in numbers?

G'day, working with a large spreadsheet... is there any way to turn off auto-update in Numbers?
cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,
No. Numbers recalculates the whole table when any change is made to that table. The use of (multiple) header rows, header columns and footers rows exacerbates the issue. There is no way provided to shut off the auto-recalculation.
Feature enhancements requests (for future editions) may be made using the Provide Numbers Feedback item in the Numbers menu (or by clicking the link in this message).

How do I create a chart in Keynote that auto-updates from data in Numbers?

Hello all! So, there are lots of answer to this for iWork'09, but I haven't found them for the current version of Work.
What I'd like to do is take data from Numbers and create a chart in Keynote that would then auto-update if I edited the data in Numbers. Put another way, the Keynote chart data would 'live' in Numbers - every time I edit the Numbers data, I'd like those changes to reflect in Keynote. Any thoughts on how to do this outside of always cutting and pasting from Numbers to Keynote?
Thanks!!

Thanks Gary. I thought I was crazy. I remember that it used to be available - bummer that it's not now.

Auto update of Ztable when ever BSID or BSAD tables updated

Auto update of Ztable when ever DB table updated
Hi experts
I want my Ztable get updated automatically when ever a record is created or updated in BSID or BSAD tables.
Here clear requirement
Generally using Company code & Allocation number ( 18 char ) my programs access BSID & BSAD tables it is taking very long time for execution almost more than 30 minutes ( data in millions ).
Step 1.
I created a new Ztable with limited fields Company Code, Customer, Document, Allocation Number and Posting date.
Step 2.
Before look into BSID or BSAD my program searches Ztable for Customer number & Document number using Allocation field and Company code.
Step 3.
Once get the Customer & Document numbers accessing BSID & BSAD table is very easy (now just taking less than 1 minute).
Created a new program to update Ztable every day but BSID and BSAD are live table so I want my Ztable get updated immediately when any entry posted in BSID or BSAD
Please help me

You need to check what is the procedure (T-Code) from which the data gets updated into these tables.
For example
when we craete a material from MM01 the data gets updated in the corresponding table i.e. EKPO.
In same way you need to find the process and then you can use BTE (Busineess transaction events) for that process. BTE are only for FI module and these tables are also related to FI .

I just updated to Numbers 3.0.1. In the old version if I started to type a name that was already in the spreadsheet, it would automatically fill it in. That doesn't happen in the new version. What am I missing to get that to happen?

If you frequently enter repeating values in a column and don't want to type the same text over and over again, instead of just waiting for Apple's updates why not try using an enhanced feature in Numbers 3 that in many (probably most) situations is even better than "auto-complete"?
Numbers 3 has an enhanced Pop-Up Menu functionality that helps prevent typos or capitalization inconsistencies from creeping in and messing up your data. It is also much more efficient than auto-complete in Numbers for iOS, should you ever want to sync to an iPad or iPhone and do data entry there.
Pop-Up Menu is much enhanced over what it was in Numbers 2.3, and is easy to set up:
Select the whole column or range before formatting as Pop-Up Menu and your existing values in that column or range will pre-populate a menu automatically:
Then you can remove the values you don't want in the list, such as the column header (and possibly some previous spelling errors too!):
And after this easy one-time setup all you have to do thereafter is to choose from the pop-up list when you add rows:
See this post for more details on how this handy feature has been enhanced in Numbers 3.0.
Should you ever want to take your Numbers with you and do data entry on an iPad or iPhone, in a touch interface, pop-ups are much more efficient than typing the first few letters of items. You can scroll with ease through a list of dozens of items to make a pick. Anybody using Numbers cross-platform should favor Pop-Up so they can use their documents efficiently for data input on the go, which can be a productivity booster.
See this thread for this and other workarounds for Numbers 3.0.

Making a jtable auto updates itself from a mysql table

Pretty much what the title says. How can i auto update the jtable for every time my mysql table is updated in anyway? i am implementing this auto update function in my admin program which displays a list of users who are online etc. from the moment a user is offline/online or changes other details displayed in my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with new data...
I was thinking of re doing the whole jtable i made and create a thread for that table that has a infinite while loop that keeps repainting the jtable with the new updated data from a mysql table query eg select * from table and store the data into a resultset which then gets transferred into a vector. Load the vector into the jtbale and their ya go�.
what you think of this approach? Is their a better way to do this?
at the moment, as soon as my application opens, the jtable views all the data from my sql table, however if it doesnt auto updates itself, cheers

i am implementing this auto update
function in my admin program which displays a list of
users who are online etc. from the moment a user is
offline/online or changes other details displayed in
my jtable, i want it to auto update the jtable as
soon as the actual mysql table has been updated with
new data...Well you can make some changes to make implementation easy
Ex: Create a table to keep a log of the changes in the system the dmin program read the log and replicate the changes as specified in the log on the table model.
When reading the log the admin program keep track of the sequence no of the last read log entry and it reads ony the entries which has larger seq numbers than the last read seq no
I dont think that it is critical to make this to be cloase to real time. An Update once a 1 or 2 secs should be sufficient.

No Auto-Update for To Do list, session message and toast message

After LC ES Server hardening, we noticed that auto-update is not working for To Do list, session message and new task notification toast message. Before server hardening, all of them are still working fine.
Does anyone know why auto-update is not working after server hardening? Is there any specific port numbers which need to be enabled/opened to solve this issue?
FYI, we also noticed that some RemoteEventClient error messages occur many times in jboss server.log file as the following:

JGroups is an open source project that allows processes to send messages to one another. LiveCycle data services uses it for its messaging implementation (basically it configures the server to multicast messages to all the listening clients...even in a clustered environment across different LAN/WAN).
In most cases the default configuration will work fine, the problem is that if you are running a firewall on the server (or your local machine...i.e. windows firewall) the ports that JGroups uses for its communications can be blocked. In a local environment its easy enough to disable windows firewall and bounce your server to get things working.
In a production environment you need to open the ports that JGroups is using. These settings are in the Global Administration settings (as mentioned by WorkspaceUser above). If you export it and look at the JChannelConnectionProperties you'll see the ports its using and you can set your firewall to allow communication to those ports.

Linking word documents and auto-updating TOCs?

Hi, all!
I know InDesign a bit, but am about to embark on a project that I could use some help on. Im compiling all the different writing Ive done in the past four years into a little ebook. There are about 50 different essays/articles, each under four categories in the table of contents. Many need editing, and the ebook will require lots of moving things around and editing.
So, is it possible to link Word documents like as you can do with images? I would like to have InDesign link to all the different word documents that comprise different essays, etc, so I can edit individual essays from Word and have them auto-update within InDesign. Also, is there a similar thing I can do with the table of contents, where it will automatically update the page number of a given entry when I rearrange it? These two things would save me much time!
Thank you!
Alec

As much as you think you want to auto-update the Word documents, you don't.
Yes, there is a way to link those Word files, but you will lose all formatting applied in ID each time you do update the linked files.
Why don't you just make those changes in InDesign?
Next, yes, you can create a TOC that will update page numbers automatically when the document(s) change.
That is no problem.

How to setup air help auto-update

RH8 HTML.
Im fiddling around with the AIR Help file and trying to get the auto update working.
So far I have the comments syncing perfectly across users with a shared folder on our network.
I'm now publishing the air file to a shared folder again where everyone can get the file and where the update.xml file is sitting.
so I have this looking structure.
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help File.air
\\networkdrive\Adobe_AIR\Generic_AIR\AdobeAIRApplication\Help_Update.xml
I set everything in RH Air output to publish to these folders, and I can see the newest files each time I do, I change the version numbers from 1.28 to 1.29, and this is reflected in the update.xml file where the version number has changed.
but when I go into the actual instaleld 1.28 version and use the Check Now feature to look for the latest 1.29 which has over written the 1.28 files in the shared folder, it finds nothing.
I cant find any way to manually point to where the update should be found.....do the update files have to sit in the same install directory or something? How does this work....aarrrgghhh
Is there another things I'm not doing?
Thanks.

Hi Nick
Good to hear that you are looking into AIR and Comment syncing is working fine.
Regarding the AIR auto update feature, you need to do the following
While generating the AIR file, you need to specify the update XML file location in AIR Help SSL generation option shown in the image below.
Now install this AIR file, and update the update.xml file and new version of AIR file, and it should work fine.
So the point is the installed air file need to know where to look for the update.xml file, it can be shared folder or a website.
Hope this will help you.

Auto-updating a date?

I have a numbers template where the footer contains the date (inserted via the insert->date tab).
I'd like it to auto-update the field whenever I change or save the spreadsheet.
Even manually 'updating' would be okay.
Right now, I delete the date, then insert->date again, and set to 'today'.

Firefox auto-update bounces back end forth between 3.6.11 and 3.6.12

Firefox keeps going through the following apparently endless cycle: It realizes it's not on the latest version and auto-updates from 3.6.11 to 3.6.12. Everything is fine for a few uses, then it tells me it needs to reboot to complete an update, upon which its "completion" of the update results in it reverting back to 3.6.11. After a few uses of that version the entire cycle repeats (It again wants to install an update to 3.6.12)... and so it continues

Client Auto-Update questions

We just updated our Dev system to SP5 with Patch 2, but the clients are not updating automatically.
I have checked that the Client and Admin boxes are checked for auto-update and can see nowhere else that this can be done.
I double-checked with the Master Install guide, and this appears to be the only thing that I need to do to make it work.
The clients are currently at 502, and they should now be 506.
Also, is this controlled by the files in C:\BPC\Websrvr\Web\Installation?
I have checked the live server (BPC 5.1 SP3) and the Dev server (BPC 5.1 SP5r2)
Both of them have EverestClient.exe and EverestAdmin.exe with version number 12.0.0.49974
Does that seem right? I would have expected an increment in version number.
Has anyone else seen this, and can you offer any advice?
Thanks
Craig

How do I roll-back to the previous version of Firefox? An auto update occurred and now one of the programs used at the office (ACT! v6.0 SwiftMail) won't run with the browser.

The office I work in uses a very old version of ACT!, an accounting package. This package has a component called SwiftPage, an antiquated email system that enables us to email from the ACT DB. SwiftPage runs via the web browser.
Firefox just did an auto update (that I will have to find out how to turn off) and now SwiftPage won't run as it is not compatible.
Can I "roll-back" my version of Firefox or do I have to uninstall and try to re-install an older version?
HELP!

Try loading and using the add-on from this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
Many add-ons do in fact work if you force them to run. The procedure to roll-back is given in this article: [[installing previous versions of firefox]]
Unfortunately the official Firefox policy is that you downgrade to 3.6 which is supported for a while longer, and not the now unsupported Firefox 4. If after installing and running the ''add-on compatibility reporter'' you still have problems there are ways around the official policy.
I think it is absurd that Firefox 4 may be used by tens of millions of users one day and a few days later those that upgrade to Firefox 5 should be not only told not to use a now unsupported browser, if they need to revert due to problems, but are actually obstructed in attempts to do so.

My firefox recently updated. Now my pop mail server won't work. I did a 'restore' to last week, and it was fine. It has now auto updated. No mail server.

I have read through several responses to others who are having problems following an update. I am not computer savvy enough to understand half of the recommended 'solutions'. I need clear and definitive instructions of what to do. (Instruction for 'dummies' is what I need.) I can not 'restore' my computer continuously, only to have the auto updates cause the pop mail server to stop working each time. If there is nothing I can do, I guess I will have to stop using Mozilla Firefox. Can you help?

There is no solution for Firefox and POP. Firefox doesn't do email and has no need for a POP email server.
If you are using Firefox to view and send "email", you are accessing a webmail service provider.
