Can't seem to draw a chart (line chart) using dates rather than numbers

I'm trying to draw a Line Chart but rather using numbers i want to use dates for example: Switzerland 23/06/2008 - 23/08/2008. Can't seem to get it to work? it seems to all go wrong when I change the cell format to 'date'
Can anyone help?
Thanks
PS. I can do it easily in Excel

Hello
From my point of view, it's not surprising.
In XL, a date is a number to which a date format is applied. So, it may be charted.
Same thing with the good old AppleWorks.
With Numbers, a date is NOT a number, it IS a specific class of data.
The consequence is that it can't be charted directly.
Happily, we may easily convert a date into a number.
In column B the formula is
=A-$A$1
which calculates the numeric difference between stored dates and the date stored in A1.
So, we may chart the results.
I know that it's far from perfect but we have to live with the choices made by Numbers's designers.

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my email. I can't seem to purchase this on-line

The apple store is so unhelpful. I have an iMac computer operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion operating system so I can work with the iCloud on my computer and download my emails. I can't seem to purchase this on-line as it keeps telling me to go to the app store. I haven't got the app store on my computer as I am told I need iCloud for which I need the new operating system, which I can't download or purchase as I am sent back to an instruction telling mee to go to the app store icon.
How difficult can it be to simply purchase the software on-line have it shipped to you so you can install it, in the event it cannot be downloaded as it appears it can't be based on my curent operating systems being Mac OSX 10.5.8.

Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.

Please help me to draw a special line Chart!

Hi, I am programming to draw a line chart with X-axis as timepoint (for example, t1, t2, t3, t4, ...) and Y-axis as values (v1, v2, v3,v4,...) and have a line connecting all the (t, v) point. The issue I have encountered is that when a value (for example, v3) is missing at the timepont(t3), I still want the timepoint to show on X-axis but the connectiong line to stop at (t2, v2) and start again at (t4, v4). Is it possible to draw such a line chart? Is there any 3rd party supporting it? If so, may you please give me hints and help me out of this? Thanks alot.

When using Pages, I can't seem to print an envelope. I use file, then print, and see the printer icon come up in the dock showing it received the info but then quickly disappears and nothing gets printed. When I check the printer queue there is nothing

Bear with me, I've not done this before. I can't seem to reliably print an envelope when using Pages. I go to "file" click "print", click "ok", see the printer icon flash in the dock with a red "1" (indicating a printing job), but then the icon disappears and nothing gets printed. I checked the printers queue and there is nothing there. The funny thing is, after many times hitting "print", twice I've had envelopes printed. ??? What's the secret?

Have you tested it from other software, such as TextEdit to establish that it is in fact Pages that is the problem?
Step us through Print Setup... and what you select when you send it off to print.
Peter
From the
Brother MFC-6800 Printer's User Guide:
How Can I load envelopes:
You can load envelopes from the multi-purpose sheet feeder. Your appliaction software must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup mebnu of your software. Refer to your appliaction manual
It also mentions an issue with paper thickness.

How do I change my short name on Yosemite OS X? I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.

I can't seem to do it the way I used to change it all the time on Mavericks.
There was a text box after I clicked on the lock after I went to Users and Groups in System Preferences, but now it's gone.
By short name, I mean the name that appears on your lock screen when you log in.
P.S. I use a MacBook Air Early 2014 version, 13-inch.
I upgraded to Yosemite 2 days ago.

I found how to do it.
Go to SystemPreferences - Users&Groups - Right-click on your account at the left hand side bar- change your FULL NAME ONLY
If you change anything else the system might break but changing the full name causes no damage.
So I changed my name and am working fine with my Mac.
Cheers!

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
I downloaded a series of podcasts recently. They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

These scrrenshots are from Snow Leopard - I would think that Lion wouldn't be too much different.

Can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

You need to select the playlist on the shuffle, when you play it. If you do not select a particular playlist, it plays from the All Songs list. When you set the switch to play in order (not shuffle), the All Songs list plays in alphabetical order.
To select a playlist, use the VoiceOver feature. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver.

When you select a playlist on the shuffle, it should play in playlist order (when the switch is set to play in order).

Can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what will hap

hai,
can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what happends going in bw regarding performance issues like indexes
let me know
regards,
murali

Hi Murali,
you can load the transaction data before master data. The main impact will be, that the system has to generate sid's and has to populate the sid-table of the master data objects while loading the data to a data target (cube or ods that is activated for bex reporting). This basically means that your data loads will take some more time. Additionally, if you need the master data attributes somewhere in your update or transfer rules, you will not get the correct information.
So basically it is always a good approach to load and activate the master data before loading the transactional data. But anyway, specially in the development environment I usually don't load all the necessary master data.
regards
Siggi
PS: navigational attributes of the data targets will not be available until you loaded the master data and scheduled the attribute and hierarchy change run.

I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
1. hold down the option key
2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
3. in Library, find Preferences
4. in Preferences, find com.apple.desktop.plist and drag it to the trash.
5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
     1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
     2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
     3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
5. restart
6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-
