Autofill bug using Numbers in Leopard when assigned to a Space

Has anyone else seen this bug?
I found a weird bug in Numbers. I have set Numbers to automatically load in Space #3. I wanted to cut and paste some information from a window in Space#2 so I moved the Numbers window to Space #2.
When I tab between cells and start typing, based on what the autofill options are it switches out the Numbers window, moving me to Space #3, leaving only the just the drop down menu with the autofill choices. For instance, if I type a 1 and the autofill choices are 150, 120, etc then it flips me to Spaces #3. It does the same thing regardless if I am entering a letter or digit.
If I move the Numbers window back to Space #3 it will display the autofill menu correctly.
Here are two images of the bug.
Image 1 shows the numbers window correctly. http://web.mac.com/bloetel/image1.png
Image 2 shows how the autofill window is the only thing showing when it switches to Space #3. http://web.mac.com/bloetel/image2.png

I encountered this problem too. As a 'solution', I turned auto-fill off, but that can't be the great idea of Apple. Also, the preferences window is in another spaces than the document I'm working in. That isn't a big problem, you can move the preferences window to a different space. I found that via the spaces overview (standard shortcut is F8, I think) you can move the autofill popup, just by dragging it. It disappears in the overview, but it's there when you go back to your original window.

  • Why does my MB Pro's battery drain so fast when using Numbers?

    Hello community!
    I have this problem since I updated my MB Pro to Mountain Lion. Everytime I start using Numbers (latest version), the fan of my Laptop goes on and the running time of my battery drops to 1 1/2 hours. My MacBook also gets really warm. Everything seems that Numbers is not running really efficiently on my Laptop. That makes it hard to follow an entire lecture and it's really annoying for me and my classmates; because of this issue I currently use Excel instead.
    I have a MacBook Pro late 2012 with the 2.7 GHz i7, 4 GB Ram and OS X 10.8.2.
    I don't experience those problems when I'm using pages or keynote.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Are there any suggestions?

    This issue was first noted here around the beginning of August, 2012. See this thread, but don't take the reply marked "solved" too seriously—it turned out to be premature.
    Briefly, the issue is that Numbers consumes about 70% of available CPU time/activity whenever the mouse pointer is on a table. That CPU usage consumes power, creates heat, and activates the fans.
    No solution as yet. A summary of suggestions:
    File a bug report (Numbers menu > Provide Numbers Feedback)
    If you're near an Apple Store, take the MBP to the Genius Bar and demonstrate the issue using your machine (or any 2012 MBP with Numbers installed).
    Move the mouse pointer off any table whenever possible.
    Check the thread for any I've missed.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app,  any help?

    Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app,  any help?

    What does the error say?
    A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

  • I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

    The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
    Any guidance? Thanks.

    The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

  • HT1665 There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

    There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

    I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
    As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • I understand that when using Numbers/Pages - an up-arrow on a document means that the file is still to be uploaded to the cloud, what does a down arrow mean? It seems the document can't be accessed until the arrow clears.

    I understand that when using Numbers/Pages - an up-arrow on a document means that the file is still to be uploaded to the cloud, what does a down arrow mean? It seems the document can't be accessed until the arrow clears.

    I believe what it's supposed to mean is that some changes were made to the document on another device, and those changes were saved back to the cloud.  Now you've opened iWork on a different device to access that document - it compares the document you've got locally with the one in the could, sees some recent changes and downloads them.
    What gets me is why this sometimes happens even when I've not made any changes to a document from another device.

  • I am trying to add a note in numbers when I can link an action required to my calendar... Is this possible? For example I am using numbers like a CRM and I would like to be able to have my next action required for a customer link to my calendar

    I am using numbers as a CRM and one of my columns is called 'Next Action Required' i.e
    Next Action Required
    Email Douglas on the 02-12-14 about information needed for tour
    Call Thomas 0446 393 about booking trip
    Thank you in anticipation

    Utterly bizarre. I can't see your two follow-up posts when I'm logged in. However...
    Things would be simple if Apple implemented Data Detectors for dates in Numbers, as they have in applications like TextEdit and Script Editor. Then you’d have a system-level means of quickly moving from a selected date in your CRM spreadsheet to Calendar.
    Until that happy day arrives, though, we can approximate it with AppleScript and Automator.
    First, make sure your Numbers table is called CRM and your column has the header Next action required. (You can change these if you want but you’ll also have to modify the script.) This is the basic setup:
    Then, launch Automator and create a new workflow. From the Choose a type… dialog, specify Service.
    At the top of the workflow, “Services receives selected…” should be set to text in Numbers.app. (You'll need to choose Other... from the pop-up and then navigate to Numbers.)
    In the Library menu at the left, click on Utilities, then drag a Run AppleScript action into the main Automator pane. Delete all the boilerplate text from the script.
    It should look like this:
    Now copy and paste the script below into the Run AppleScript action.
    on run {date_string}
      tell application "Numbers"
      tell document 1
      tell active sheet
      try
      set crm_table to (item 1 of (every table whose name is "CRM"))
      on error
      display dialog "No CRM table in this sheet"
      return
      end try
      tell crm_table
      try
      set the_selection to selection range
      set the_row to row 1 of the_selection
      on error
      display dialog "Select some text in a cell"
      return
      end try
      set the_col to item 1 of (column of the_selection)
      set header_cell to cell 1 of the_col
      if value of header_cell is "Next action required" then my run_calendar(date_string)
      end tell
      end tell
      end tell
      end tell
    end run
    on run_calendar(date_string)
      try
      set date_string to date_string as string
      set real_date to date (date_string)
      on error
      set real_date to (current date)
      end try
      tell application "Calendar"
      activate
      switch view to day view
      try
      view calendar at real_date
      on error the_err
      display dialog the_err
      end try
      end tell
    end run_calendar
    Click the little hammer at the top to make sure that the script compiles (indents and colours in). If it doesn’t, you may need to sort out some line breaks in the copied and pasted script.
    Now save the workflow as Go to date in Calendar. Quit Automator.
    So what does the script do? Basically, it looks at the selected text in a Numbers cell and checks to see that the table name is “CRM” and the column header is “Next Action Required”. It then tries to convert the selected text into a valid date. If it can, it takes you to that date in Calendar. If it can’t, it takes you to today’s date. In both cases it switches Calendar to day view. You have to bear in mind that if you select all of “10/10/14 Call John re contract” it won’t understand that part of this is a date, and won’t go to October 10.  You'd have to select just "10/10/14"
    To run the Service, right-click or control-click on the selected text and go down to Services, then choose Go to date in Calendar:
    Alternatively, run it from Services in the main Numbers menu.
    You can set up a keyboard shortcut for any Service in System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts. Post back if you need more info about this.
    Tested with Numbers 3.5 (2109). This will not work with Numbers '09.
    Hope this works for you, let us know how you get on.

    I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel.  When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes.  How do I fix this?

    If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers.  You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
    If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively.  If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.

    Installation: hello, I am trying to install my adobe elements twelve. I have a serial number, which contains no letters (only numbers), from the box. I use a mac. When I try to install it, it says it's unable to validate my serial number. I have already checked the spelling. What should I do?

    Does it begin with 1057? If not, it's a redemption code. In which case, see here:
    Redemption Code Help
    If it is a serial number, go to system preferences>security & privacy>firewall>firewall options and be sure that PSE is allowed to call out.

  • TS4079 Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new numb

    Siri used to work fine when making mobile calls in Ecuador until yesterday, when the administration of Ecuador added an aditional number in all mobile numbers existing in Ecuador. Since then Siri is unable to make any mobile calls with any new number.Help
    I`ve tried restarting, rebooting, nothing works.
    The interesting thing is that SIRI can call to previous mobile numbers (without the new digit) obviously not connecting , and, can call to any other numbers as an office or home number. So the problem is the new digit in the mobile number

    Ecuador has added an extra digit to mobile phone numbers but apple wont accept 10 digit phone numbers so we cant use facetime or apple IM or verify our new phone numbers. ( and Siri won't work either!) I have contacted apple support online but can't request a call back as the apple system says our new phone numbers are invalid. I am going to phone them tomorrow and you should complain too at http://www.apple.com/support/contact/.  . The more people that bring this to their attention the faster it will get fixed

  • Hi! Has anybody succeeded in using Presonus Audio box 22 vsl with Os Mountain Lion? They doesn´t seem to connect. No problems when i used with Snow Leopard. I upgraded: Now is Kreonika not happy. Not happy at all!

    Hi! Has anybody succeeded in using Presonus Audio box 22 vsl with Os Mountain Lion? They doesn´t seem to connect.
    No problems when i used with Snow Leopard. I upgraded: Now Kreonika is not happy. Not happy at all!

    In cases like this, if you have an Apple store near by, they will most likely install the OS free of charge for you, if you can't bring your Apple ID along to prove you've paid for it.
    Would that work out for you?

    bug 278860: confusing "profile in use"/"already running" error when profile is missing (not found)
    Apparently the profile .default is missing. Therefore the bug 278860 is activated and I can't start Firefox. Is there a solution?

    I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.
