Can Not save new phone numbers

Can Not save new phone numbers.
I have :
net_rim_bb_phone_app(66) corrupt message on the screen.
Please advice.

Hi, thanks for replying. However after doing this process I now get the error messages when I try to save. When I try to save to the SIM it says "SIM full cannot add contact" and when I try to save to the phone it says "error cannot save contact changes". I don't believe the SIM to be full as I only have 15 numbers on the SIM. Any other advice?

How many sheets can you save in a Numbers file?

Hi folks. I am desperate for help. I have a very important Numbers file that I am working with, where I need to add 289 "sheets" to a single file. Everythign was fine, until I am trying to add my 146th sheet. When I add that next sheet, It will no longer auto save or let me manually save!
I can't find any file size or number of sheet limits.
What can I do? I really must have each sheet on the same file.
Please advise.
Drew

Drew,
According to the following discussion, Yvan Koenig states that you can have 255 Tables per Sheet and 255 Sheets per Document:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7813797#7813797
In my opinion, anything approaching this order of magnitude belongs in an Office or Office-clone app. Numbers is bound to choke sooner or later with this much data.
If you are certain that you haven't hit one of these limits, there may be other reasons you can't save that we can't guess with the information that you provided.

Why can I not save a locked Numbers document?

My Numbers is weird, slow and almost impossible to get used to. That's why I now
I still use Appleworks Spreadsheets on my Powermac for doing daily accounting updates, and
only then import a copy to Numbers for keeping copies on my MacBookAir.
I created a template in Numbers, open it for every import, then copy the content of the import
to the template. The template is named Copy 0.
To do that I will import say "12Dec01", then need to open "Copy 0" and duplicate it (so I will not lose this template) then rename the duplicate to "12Dec01". I
then open the imported "12Dec01" and copy its content, then paste it into the renamed duplicate, then "lock" that document.
I now want to save it, but Numbers will not let me save an open document that has been locked.!!!
Why lock it if a locked document cannot be saved? Besides this issue of locking, I now have 4 open documents on the desktop: The import, Copy 0, the Duplicate of it, and the Renamed copy of it.
You know what? In Appleworks you would only have 1 document open which you "save as" with what ever name (in whatever condition of progress you want to save it), wherever to.
Accidentally, I found I can save a locked document but only after doing all these extra steps: In order to lock the document it has to be closed and saved unlocked to a folder first, then opened up again, and only then it can be locked!
This process reminds me of the old DOS systems, which questiioned everything you wanted to do with "do you really want to do that?"
I wonder whether my Numbers is damaged, or whether it has a good reason to be that way?
Or maybe I missed some instructions?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.

How can I save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file?

Okay, I would like to save a Numbers spreadsheet as a tab delimited file. But of course I can't do that, since Numbers only saves as a comma separated values file.
Plan B: I can open up a CSV file created by Numbers in TextEdit, and I would like to Find and Replace all the commas with tabs. So I open up the Find window, enter a comma under Find, but of course when I put the cursor in the Replace blank and hit the Tab key, it just goes to the next blank instead of giving me a Tab.
Is there a way I can get a Tab into that blank so I can replace all the commas with tabs?
--Dave

Hello
When we use TextEdit as I described, rows are separated by Returns.
It appears that your program requires LineFeeds.
Here is a neat soluce.
Save this script as an Application Bundle.
--\[SCRIPT tsv2csv]
(* copy to the clipboard a block of datas separated by tabs
run the script
You will get on the desktop a csv file named from the current date-time.
The values separator is set to match the Bento's requirements:
If the decimal separator is period, the script uses commas.
If the decimal separator is comma, the script uses semi-colons.
This may be changed thru the setting of the property maybeSemiColon.
According to the property needLF,
embedded Returns will be replaced by LineFeeds
or
embedded LineFeeds will be replaced by Returns

Can I save my Numbers spreadsheet in Xcel?

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7. So many things no longer work as well as they did! I wish I had not upgraded!
As a business owner, I like working in Numbers and then saving my ledger in an Xcel format for my bookkeeper. I do it every month, but now that I have upgraded, I don't seem to be able to save in Xcel. Is there a way to save in Xcel in the version 10.7 ? Help?
Thanks!

Choose Share > Export, and then click Excel.
You can find the manual for Numbers here:

Can't save Numbers spreadsheet

When I reorganize a numbers spreadsheet, I can't save the file. I get an error message saying that "it cannot be saved." Using "save as" generates the same error. Anybody have a clue what's going on? I'm using an iMac (intel) with OSX 10.6.7.

It's a relatively new computer and came with OSX 10.6.7.
I'm using Numbers 09, ver 2.0.5.
This is a spreadsheet that I created in Numbers. It has eight sheets that are interconnected. The formulas are not complex. I've used some conditional formatting in the header rows. I'm also using footer rows. There are simple graph charts (not 3D) based on spreadsheet data, but no other graphics. I did not use any links or shapes or other graphics. I would call it a simple multi-page spreadsheet with simple graphs.
At the moment it is not a large spreadsheet. Each sheet has no more than 15 rows and columns.
I can't find anything that would cause a save failure after reorganizing. It's puzzling and very annoying.

I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first. Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?

That is Apple's statement:
Using iWork with iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Options for iWork customers
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive today if you want to keep your documents up to date in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and you want to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature.
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive later if you want to keep your documents up to date with your apps on iOS 7 or earlier and OS X Mavericks or earlier.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive today
To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows and set up iCloud Drive.
If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows, and iCloud.com.
Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature with iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, and iCloud.com.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive later
Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature. If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.

How can I save pages as a document with the new Mavericks version of pages?

Is there any way to save a pages document as a Microsoft document? Additionally, is there any way to save a numbers document as an Excel document?
Since I have downloaded the new Mavericks software with the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, I can't save anything as a Microsoft document anymore. Can anyone please help? I'm a student needing an answer because most institutions only use Microsoft. This is an extremely upsetting fall back for Apple if there isn't a way to accomplish these activities.
Also, if anyone has any information if Apple is going to provide new drivers for old HP printers and scanners, please inform me. My multi-functional printer is obsolete (according to a phone conversation with HP). Currently, I have to jump through hoops to get the scanner to work and Preview crashes most of the time (with the Mavericks update).

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iWork does not let you save a document as an Office document by default, so you have to do some extra steps. First open the document and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export to, and choose the Office app to create a document for Microsoft Office.
Respecting to printer drivers, Apple does not provide newer drivers for an obsolete printer. Instead, see if Gutenprint works > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message: "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old. To open it, save it with numbers '09 first" So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later. You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back. My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
You may have Numbers '09 installed. Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save. Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x

It appears "save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite. How can I save a spreadsheet as a new document and then change all the data

"save as" was removed in the creation of Yosemite (File > Save as) How can I save an existing spreadsheet so that I can modify the data, rename it , and save it as a new document?

rkaufmann87
To address the first part of your response; as unnecessary as it was; save as has not been gone for years!! It is predicated on the operating system in play on ones computer. The software that I was using as recent as six months ago had a "Save as" option in the menu bar. Further, as you may have noted in "babowa's response it is clear that it still exists to this day in apple's most recent software "Yosemite 10.10.2. This appears to be true whether talking about numbers or pages (apps.) Oh, and by the way I am employing the most recent versions offered by Apple! Your car may be five years old but I am sure you still find it very useful. Case and point; it's not gone!!!

Since my "upgrade" I no longer have "save as" in Numbers

I can't save a verson of a Numbers spreadsheet. I only get the "save a version" option and it saves the file I'm working on over the top, apparently of whatever is already there. I suppose you could save then go into the saved files and change the name, but what a pain!! This is a GIGANTIC pain in the *** and for the first time I'm regretting that I switched from Excel to Numbers. Between this and the Safari problems and no longer being able to run "power PC" applications (a little detail that's gonna cost me hundreds) Thanks Mac! I'm quite thoroughly disappointed with the new "upgrade"!! ****! The touch pad moving things in the opposite direction?? Excellent change! Sorry, didn't really come here to ***** but there ya go..

"Perhaps you should do a little research on the Versions feature. If you do, note the Duplicate command"
Agreed theoretically. But in practise, Apple should review itself:
1. why the Help has been so useless! (There is certainly a "Save as", only after you click on the Duplicate...)
2. why there is no Change List to announce ahead or during beta about the changes and wipe outs (such as dumping the Reminders from Mail!)
Can Apple give more respects to current application users?

Can't save bookmarks since last OS update

I can't save bookmarks since the last OS update. When I do, I get the Spinning Beach Ball of Death and the app crashes. Any ideas?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.
