Can I family share a numbers spreadsheet in icloud?

I would like to share and collaborate with members of my family sharing group. This was easily achieved in the previous version prior to iCloud drive update, I could share with another apple id. iCloud drive only seems to allow the sharing of a link. An option similar to Google drive sharing would be a much better option in my opinion. Any ideas?

There is no Numbers -> Some Application path.
It may not be too hard to make an app in XCode. if the spreasheet is not too complicated

  • When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser.

    Is there any option that i'm getting wrong
    How can we solve this.
    Usualy we use Google drive documents to share some spreadsheets, but we wanted to share the same document with numbers (that's much better) but it doesn't work as easily as in google drive and doesn't even remotely works how it was supposed.

    Don't know why those letters wouldn't display properly; maybe something to do with their settings at Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Default Encoding or similar setting in whatever browser they are using. But it's really easy for them to download the document via the "wrench" in the Numbers for iCloud menu. Then they can open it in the Numbers app.
    For "real-time" collaboration, I think you all need to be accessing Numbers for iCloud via the browser.

  • Can a family share an iTunes library.

    Can a family share iTunes music, podcasts, etc.

    You can't. But iDevices don't count. So you should be able to share the 5 computers.

  • I can no longer save a Numbers spreadsheet.  Why?

    I can no longer save a Numbers spreadsheet.. Why?

    Rodeo,
    I received the file you emailed.  Without opening the file:
    I can tell you that you were NEVER able to save the file.  This is a Microsoft excel file (which we know because the extension is ".xls").  Numbers can open excel files then you can save the file as a Numbers file OR you can export the file back to excel using the menu item "File > Export To > Excel..."
    Did you create the file in Excel?  If so you can continue to edit the file in excel.  If you double clicked the file and it opened in Numbers then you need to answer the question which application do you want to use (Numbers or Excel)?

  • I can't family share a song I purchased today

    I bought several songs today.  I tried to family share these songs with my wife.  Only one of the songs showed up in my recent purchases list.  Does anyone know why this happened?  Can some songs not be shared?

    Soo. I fixed it. All I did was move the files to another place, and then moved them back. Then I just opened it, and it appeared in the library again.

  • Can I family share with iPhone 5 and iPhone 4?

    I have an Apple account and iPhone 5 - I set up family share and invited my husband.  He gets an email that directs him to his phone settings, but when he goes to his setting > iCloud, there isn't anything for him to accept and on my phone it just says - share sent, he hasn't accepted yet.  What are we doing wrong.  He has an iPhone 4

    All you do is activate that iPhone 5 on your existing account and you can keep the unlimited data, but I would be cautious that it's not reported lost/stolen, even if you do check it the person could still sell it and report it lost/stolen after they ship it and before you receive it.

  • Can a Family Share organizer also be a member of another's Family Share?

    IIf I set up Family Share and add members, can a member also set up Family Share and add me as a member?   In other words rather than billing to me for all member purchases and downloads, can their purchases be billed to their acct but share with me?

    Hi Larl1,
    no this is not possible, as far as I know. According to the Family Sharing Guide, there is only one family organizer.

  • I can no longer open a Numbers spreadsheet.

    I have a Numbers spreasheet that I use all the time, in fact even earlier today. But when I try to open it now, I get an alert that says: "2013 Current status" can't be opened.
    The file started out years ago as a Numbers 2 file. Recently I upgraded to Mavericks a few weeks ago and upgraded Numbers to Version 3.0.
    I've been using this file with no problems since the upgrades.
    I started walking through my backups and found a version from about 10 days ago that I can open in Numbers 3. None of the intervening versions can be opend in Numbers 3 anymore.
    I did a Get Info on the file and I can see its preview and it looks like I expect and even a preview with cmd+space shows me the first page as I left it.
    If I drop the file on iWork 2.3 I get what I would expect, an alert telling me I need a newer version of numbers to open it.
    So, I had an old Numbers file, I opened it and used it with no problems in Numbers 3 for a while, and now I can't open it.
    Does anyone know what I might try?

    Hi Rick,
    Sometimes you see problems like that if the document is stored in Dropbox, which so far doesn't play nicely with Numbers 3 documents.  If it does happen to be in Dropbox try moving it elsewhere.
    You also sometimes see that if you have it in iCloud and are syncing with other Macs or with iOS devices and a sync "conflict" didn't resolve properly (i.e. it wasn't closed on one machine and was changed on another).
    If you have the document in iCloud (which with Numbers 3 is now a good option) then on your Mac you may be able to recover it via Finder by holding down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers.
    Also, if you haven't already, it may help to update to Numbers 3.0.1 (released yesterday).  It is supposed to have squashed some bugs.
    My experience with 3.0 is a little different from Jerry's. It was clearly a rushed product. But I don't have a lot of complex legacy Numbers spreadsheets that would get messed up on import (which seems pretty buggy) and generally find that simple and clear (not simplistic) spreadsheets more often than not are the most effective spreadsheets. I like the fact that many "nice but not necessary" features no longer clutter up the interface and make syncing a nightmare, and that Apple will reinstate some really crucial ones. And the fact that Numbers finally works well on mobile, a big productivity enhancement (think data entry) that MS can't match (yet).

  • Can't Open Numbers spreadsheets in iCloud

    I'm hoping someone can help me ... I have some numbers spreadsheets saved in iCloud.  When I go to open them, it says that the file can't be opened, whether I try to access it from my Mac or from the Icloud website.  I was able to get a preview of some of the documents so at least i can start over, but one document is password protected and I can't get it to open.  I've tried saving it to my desktop, changing the extension, looking at the permissions, and no luck.  This is so frustrating!  I do have a time machine back up but since this is stored on the cloud I'm not sure if it would have saved a file on the machine.
    Any advice appreciated, I saved things on iCloud to ensure that if my computer crashed I'd still have access and it seems that was not the right thing to do!
    Thanks much.

    Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers normally wouldn't show up in a Spotlight search. But you should be able to find it in Finder by holding down the option key and choosing Library from the Go menu.
    If it's not there then that suggests you haven't been successful in activating iCloud sync on your Mac. You might check setttings in two places in System Preferences > iCloud.
    Documents and Data must be checked:
    AND, after clicking 'Option...', this Numbers.app must be checked:
    If these two boxes are both checked and you're still having trouble then try signing out of iCloud and back in.

  • Why can't I edit this Numbers spreadsheet?

    I have a Numbers spreadsheet which I created on my Mac. My problem is that when I open it, it will not allow me to make any edits. I can see all the rows, columns, etc. including the content of each cell.... but I cannot select any of these cells.
    All of the header items such as  Function, Table, etc., are present but they are dimmed and I'm unable to select them.
    I have other Numbers spreadsheets which allow me to edit just fine. My problem is with this one particular spreadsheet.
    Is there some type of setting that I have unknowingly set whch has locked this particulare spreadsheet?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Numbers 3.0.1
    Mac 10.9.1

    Thanks for your suggestion. It did not fix my problem but I continued poking around and fortunately I discovered this solution:
    File > Export to> Numbers '09
    The new file opened ans I was asked if I wanted to upgrade it.
    I answered YES and I now have a fully funtional spreadsheet.

  • How can I get contacts into Numbers spreadsheet

    How can I get my contacts into a Numbers spreadsheet, please help since the OS X mavericks upgrade I cant drag them and I dont know how to get them into the spreadsheet now can anyone help

    And here's a way to get some actual information from Contacts into Numbers 3.0.
    1. Copy/paste the script below into AppleScript Editor.
    2. Select the cards in Contacts that you want.
    3. Click the green run button in AppleScript Editor.
    4. Click a cell in Numbers and command-v to paste the data in.
    That should result in something like this:
    Here is the script:
    --Places tab-separated Contacts data on the system clipboard for pasting into a table
    --usage: select one or more contacts in Contacts, run, select a cell in a table and paste
    tell application "Contacts"
              set {tsvData, contacts} to {"", selection}
              if selection is not {} then
                        set tsvData to "Name" & tab & "Phones" & tab & "Street" & tab & "City" & tab & "Zip" & tab & "Emails" & return --header row
                        repeat with thisPerson in contacts
                                  set {thisPhone, thisEmail} to {"", ""}
                                  set {thisName, thisID} to {name, id} of thisPerson
                                  set {thisStreet, thisCity, thisZip} to {street, city, zip} of the first address of thisPerson
                                  set phoneProperties to properties of phones of thisPerson
                                  repeat with j from 1 to (count of phoneProperties)
                                            set thisPhone to thisPhone & value of item j of phoneProperties & "  "
                                  end repeat
                                  set emailProperties to properties of emails of thisPerson
                                  repeat with j from 1 to (count of emailProperties)
                                            set thisEmail to thisEmail & value of item j of emailProperties & "   "
                                  end repeat
                                  set tsvData to tsvData & thisName & tab & thisPhone & tab & thisStreet & tab & thisCity & tab & thisZip & tab & thisEmail & return
                        end repeat
      set the clipboard to text 1 thru -2 of tsvData -- remove trailing return
                        tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Click in cell and <command-v>" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
              else
                        tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Select at least one card in Contacts and run again" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
              end if
    end tell
    This is not as nice as the old vcard drag and drop import. It's a simple example and probably needs some customizing because there are so many different ways people store information in Contacts.  But this approach can meet most needs, if it's not convenient to leave the data in Contacts and link to it.

  • Saving an updated numbers spreadsheet to icloud

    Hi Everybody!
    I'm trying to learn how to use the icloud and numbers to seamlessly move between i-devices.
    I use Numbers a lot on my ipad, and have installed it on my desktop as well. 
    I would like it if I could create a spreadsheet on my ipad and then update it on my laptop--and then save that updated version back to numbers in the icloud so that I can work on that same spreadsheet again on my ipad--just like on the commericials!!  
    How do I do that???  I cannot seem to find what is "home base" and keep ending up with various versions of the same document in different, confusing places. 
    How do i save that updated spreadsheet on my laptop back to the icloud????  There must be a simple solution for this that I'm just not seeing...
    Thanks!!!

    What a mess it all is too! We have Numbers only to find you can't save spreadsheets to iCloud.
    So - unbelievably for having paid a fortune for i-Pads we send them via e-mail (in Excel form nobody else but Apple understands Numbers) to our computers (also Macs but that may change if this stupidity is going to continue with Apple)
    On arrival - Save to where ever - THEN we open Google Docs (who understand how to make these things simple) - drag and drop into browser of Google Docs - it is there in seconds and you can work on it in a browser both from ANY computer and the iPad (but it makes it less enjoyable because unlike Googledocs, the iPad insists YOU must click 'submit' for each line or entry you put in or edit.
    Hope that helps you.
    Just to say, it is beyond belief that the iPad won't just connect to the ether and work simply  through a browser like Google Docs does. Believe there are plans somewhere for a tablet with no apps just a connection to the ether ......

  • How to upload numbers spreadsheet to icloud

    Trouble uploading current numbers spreadsheet to cloud.  How do I upload spreadsheet to cloud to access it on all of my devices

    Hi CowGirl, are you really a cowgirl from Southern Dixie  ?  LOL.
    Ok i have now learned a lot more about this saving a Numbers file to the cloud, in the version of Numbers i have, there is not a Save As option, i looked in the Help File and to do anything like Save As you have to first File/Duplicate and Save as from there, but this idea does not give access to the LIBRARY.
    However through searching around more diligently i found that to get a Numbers file (and a Pages file as well no doubt) up onto the Cloud, so it can be edited by any of your devices, you simply need to drag the file, from the finder window onto the iiCloud/iWork/Numbers web page !, it really is as easy as that.
    Thanks for helping young lady.
