Can't see the formula as old style formula in 3.5

I am using Numbers 3.5 on my Mac OSX 10.10.1. When I type a formula,I would like it to look old scholl, not colored and opaque. Today I accidently hit something and the formula appeared exactly that way. Now I cannot duplicate that action. Example: COUNTA(A16:A24)-B4-B5. Where can I do that?
Thanks

Here's an AppleScript that will display the formula in the selected cell in "plain text":
tell application "Numbers"
  activate
  tell front document to tell active sheet to set active_table to (first table whose class of selection range is range)
  tell active_table
  set the_formula to (formula of cell 1 of selection range)
  if the_formula is not missing value then
  set the_formula to the_formula as string
  with timeout of 0 seconds
  display alert (formula of cell 1 of selection range as string)
  end timeout
  end if
  end tell
end tell
You can't do much with it except click "OK", but it does make it a bit easier to check.

  • How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

    How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.

    Yes, you can ..

  • Hello, I'm trying to transfer my old itunes library to a new computer using home sharing. It's switched on in both computers, but I can't see the old library in the new computer. But I can see tracks from the new computer on the old one. Please help.

    Apologies for poor syntax, my arm's a little sore. Yes, one computer (old) is vista, new is Windows 8. Shouldn't I be able to import the whole library using home sharing? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance

    I am having the same issue.  I recently purchased a new laptop and I have spent the last 3 days using the home share to slowly transfer all 22,000 songs.  However yesterday morning when I turned on both computers to continue the process I am having the following issue:
    both computers are running the same windows OS (8)
    both computers are running the same version of itunes
    both computers are logged in with the same apple ID
    both computers have home sharing turned on
    Now however I can see the NEW computers itunes library in the drop down box on the OLD computer, however I can not see the OLD computers itunes library on the NEW computer.  I can no longer see "HOME SHARES" on the drop down LIBRARY list on the new computer.  I've taken the following steps to correct the error:
    reset the router
    completely shut down BOTH computers and brought them back up
    reopened itunes
    re-logged in on both PC's
    re-activated both PC's with home share
    The articles and help from the apple sites are worthless and it says if you can't see a library just turn home sharing off then back on - I've completed the above steps NUMEROUS times.  After spending 4 days on transferring my music I really do not want to have to start over by using an external hard drive and then importing that way.  I would like some help on discovering why the new laptop is no longer seeing my old library. (When it has been working up to this point) 
    Thanks in advance.

  • How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?

    How can I see or transfer my old photos from my iOS 6 iPod Touch to the 'Years, Collections, Moments' in my iOS 8 iPhone 5S?
    For example, my mom's 'Years, Collections, Moments' in her iPhone 6 has pictures from her old iPhones, even her 3GS

    Greetings Yushk,
    It seems you would like to transfer photos from your previous device to your iPhone 5S. I have linked to an article which may help you. You can transfer those photos to a Mac or PC, then sync them to your new device:
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    After you import your photos from your iOS device or Saved Photos, you can use iTunes to sync them back to your device.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I created a new home folder on an external but didn't move my old files over. Now I can't see the old hard drive in my mac mini. How can I locate that drive?

    I wanted to move my home folder to an external drive. I created a new home folder and in advanced options I moved it over. I didn't however move my files over first, my bad. Now I can't see the hard drive on my mac mini. Is it possible to reverse it or get access to the old home folder and is it possible to still use the mac mini's internal hard drive for storage? How do I find my shared folder, it was on the internal drive. I'm new to macs as you might have guessed at this debockle. Can anyone help?

    I'm using Mavricks. I wanted to move my home directory to an external and went into sys prop/users/advanced options and moved the folder ok. Being a noobie on Macs I didn't copy my data and such. So my settings were all new. Basicly now I don't see the internal drive on my mini. There is a lot of strage I'm not able to access. The internal drive doesn't show up. How can I put a folder back onto it so it shows up?

  • HT3258 after   transferring data from old mac to new mac, I can't see the transfer files and application on new mac.?

    How can I see the      data and application that I transferred from Old Mac to New Mac?
    Transfer of all the files and application was successful but I can't see it on the New Mac.
    Help.

    Thanks for your reply
    I did reboot the system.
    still can't see new user.
    One thing though when the system finished transferring the files
    at the end a message came up
    " 2013-09-11 04:18:05 +0000 Paul Nirwan could not be created.
    I did the transfer two times, same thing. first time I used the WiFi
    and second time from my back up disk with USB connection, using Migration Assistant.
    Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.
    How can I get rid of first data trasnferred?
    It will be using too much space on hard drive if Ileave it therre.

  • Recently I bought an Ipad, now I need to find the old owner, so he can unlock it, but the full e-mail isn't written. How can I see the old e-mail?

    So, yesterday I bought an Ipad 3 16gb. when I unpacked it, I found that it is locked, so I need the previous owner to unlock it. For the bad cause, the owner is from UK, and I've bought it from a  intermediary in Bulgaria. How can I see the full email so I can contact him?

    Apple will not provide that information unless order to do so by a court order.  Your only option at this point is to return it to the intermediary and get your money back.  They should not have sold you a locked device.  Then don't buy another device without confirming that it isn't locked, as explained under "how do I check for activation lock before buying a used device" in this article: Find My iPhone Activation Lock.

  • Download photos from old phone, but can't see the screen

    Download photos from a LG Spectrum 2 that quit working, my contacts came over from whenever the last backup was, there were some of them missing as well.  I can't see the screen on Spectrum 2, but the power button light is illuminated if plugged into a charger.  My Spectrum 2 has an internal SD card, so not just as easy as obtaining from the SD card.

        prweaver2,
    I am sorry for the issues you are having. Without having access to the on screen prompts of the phone the media can not be transferred unless it was previously backed up somewhere such as the VZW Cloud or another 3rd party storage. If you would like you can try to gain access to the media by plugging the device into a computer and transfer the media however this many not be possible as you must enable USB Mass Storage on the device.

  • Spool file problem,Can't see the query in output file.

    Hello ,
    I am facing a very old school kind of problem .....about spool file ....
    The scenario -
    I have made a script by name DB_Status_checkup.sql which i want to fire on the database to check the database status. In this script their are many queries regarding the data dictionary views to know about the database. It consist of nearly 25-30 different select queries..
    The problem is i want to make a spool file of the output of that query....i want to see the SQL query & the output below in the spool file, so it will be easy for me to judge the result. But i can't see the SQL query , i can only see the output , & in so many queries it all gets jumbled up....even i can't understand where the next output starts ...
    Sample of my SQL Script ....
    clear buffer
    spool D:\DB_status.txt
    /*To check the database startup time*/
    Select to_char(startup_time, 'HH24:MI DD-MON-YY') "Startup time"
    from v$instance
    .........next query n so on....
    spool off;
    In the output pf the spool file at D:\db_status.txt..
    Startup time
    08:25 16-JUL-10It shows only the output of the query in the spool file not the query,
    What should i do to get the SQL query as well as the output of that query just below it in the spool file ???
    Please suggest if you have anymore ideas , regarding this .....
    ORACLE 10g R2
    Windows Server 2008
    Thanks in advance ...

    Why don't you just use database control, instead of re-inventing the wheel?
    Apart from that, SQL*Plus has it's own reference manual, which you apparently refuse to read.

  • My daughter has an iPod touch and is emailing a much older boy via text free app she downloaded. How can I see the conversations? Please help and thank you

    Please help me...My 12year old daughter has been talking to a older teenager through the text free app. How can I see the conversations? Also, there is a photo vault that is locked. What is that? Please someone help me. I don't know what else to do. I paid and downloaded a program that is supposed to tell you everything that's on the ipod but that was a joke. Thanks for your help.

    As long as you can't get a hold of the device, you can't do anything more than talking to your daughter about it.
    Erasing the device could also be an option to keep her from using apps you don't want her to have on her device.
    Try talking first

  • HT5295 How can I see the transcript text? It does not show it.

    I get podcasts from the RN site. All of them are transcripted for ease to the user to find names and review the contents. The old application showe the text on top of the artwork as a transparency and you could scroll as with any other text. Since the update to iOS6 and to the podcast app I CAN NOT SEE THE TEXT!!! They forgot to add an essential part to podcast; the additional information provided by podcasters! Let me know of alternative ways to access the transcript text. Thanks.

    Swipe up from the very bottom of the screen to bring up the control Center. Tap on the Orientation Lock icon. It is the circular arrow surrounding a small padlock. This icon will then appear at the top of your screen near the battery indicator and your screen will not rotate.

  • HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

    Help!  I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
    I went to the Apple icon, but  "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
    Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
    What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
    How do I know IF they have been installed?  Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
    How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
    - I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
    Thanks to any who can help

  • I can't see the preview of my source on Flash media live encoder ... I'm using CamTwist on mac

    I can't see the preview of my source on Flash media live encoder ... I'm using CamTwist on mac

    Carolyn,
    I think your TV might be a rear projection model, correct? Those types of TVs inherently have overscan built into them as part of their optical design. The TV should have some picture SIZE settings that affect how much overscan is present, and some settings may even get rid of it altogether with the result there might be a small black border instead.
    Don't worry about changing TV settings. Settings like this are tied to a specific input. So if you make these types of changes while the TV is passing the mini's video through to the screen, those changes will only apply to the mini. When you switch to other inputs, like a cable box, etc., the old settings should still be intact and unchanged.

    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)
