Cannot drag charts from Numbers into Keynote

I have created charts in Numbers, but I cannot get them into Keynote. I have tried dragging and dropping, but they will not leave the Numbers screen. I have tried copying (or cutting) and pasting, but it does not work either.
I really need to move some things over. Any help?
Thanks so much!

Hello
At this time, I am unable to identify the wrongdoer.
What are you exactly copying from Numbers?
I copied the chart when its handles where displayed.
After copying, enter the Finder and select the menu item Edit > Show Clipboard.
If it correctly display the chart, it's that the Copy process was correctly done.
Enter Keynote.
Go to Edit menu.
If the Paste item is greyed, it's that something is odd or that the Presentation is not in Edit mode.
If it is in Edit mode, close/quit the program.
Trash its preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Keynote.pli st
Empty the trash
restart the program.
I hope that this time it will behaves flawlessly.

  • Problems pasting pie chart from Numbers into Pages table

    Hello,
    I'm trying to paste a pie chart from Numbers into a table cell in Pages 09 but it doesn't allow me. Would you know why?
    Thanks,
    Pedro

    Probably because it is a smart object connected back to the Numbers document.
    If you want it purely as a graphic, try copying the chart in Numbers switching to Preview.app and going command n which will make it a pdf file, then copy that and paste that into Pages. But it will no longer be a live chart.

  • Please help! Problems posting chart from Numbers into Pages

    Hello
    I've come across a strange problem, and I'm sure I'm missing some simple trick.
    I have created a chart in Numbers, it looks nice, and crisper than the equivalent Excel diagram. However, when I paste it into Pages, I can't resize it! It seems to preserve the fonts that I specified in Numbers, and so it doesn't become smaller. And I can't see any way of reducing the font size in this chart. And it doesn't resize nicely when I drag the box corner in Numbers.
    The thing is, it's really quite straightforward to create a chart in Excel, and then copy it into Pages, and it resizes and everything with no problems.
    Can anyone give me some pointers as to what I should be doing, please? I'm using the 09 versions.

    I suggest you experiment.
    It sounds as if you will be satisfied with a simple graphic version of the chart, however I tested my recommendation and there are bugs in what gets saved, some of the text of the labels is lost and the legend gets rearranged.
    It may be necessary to print the entire Numbers sheet to .pdf and crop that down to the graph.
    The 2nd method of copying over the actual chart to Pages works quite well and the data appears in the linked data in Pages. Just make sure to create the linkage from Numbers to first save the Numbers document before copying and pasting the chart into Pages.
    A black tag will appear on the chart when you select it. The circled arrows in the tag allow you to update the chart from updated (and saved) data in the original Numbers chart. There is also an option in the tag to unlink the chart and make it solely a Pages chart.
    As to text not resizing in Pages, this is generally so in grouped objects. Pages will resize all the graphical parts of a grouped set of objects but keep the fonts at the same point size. This can either be a good or bad thing depending on your viewpoint. Personally my view is that everything should scale as expected.
    In a live chart you can click on each part including the fonts and change their appearance and formatting directly, using the usual methods.

  • Is it possible to take a chart from numbers and put it into keynote instead of remaking it in keynote?

    Is it possible to take a chart from numbers and put it into keynote instead of remaking it in keynote?

    Take a screenshot of the chart and use that in Keynote, if you can't find another way.

  • Cannot drag songs from my music library to new playlist, nor re-arrange old playlists

    OK.  I have read a lot of old posts (2008-09) with the same problem with older versions, but I have a new iMac running 10.6 and iTunes 10.5.2 and I cannot drag songs from my library to a new playlist I've created.  And now I cannot change the play order within a playlist.  I have contacted Apple and they couldn't help me either.  I even talked to a supervisor.  He was stumpped.  It looks like a bug has infected the system.  I have an older iMac and iTunes on the same network, but it doesn't have the same prioblem.  I believe if it works, don't update.  
    I have tried all the tricks I could find to work around this and no change.
    This is so frustrating that a simple, but blessed manuver that I have loved is now broke.
    Help!

    "ok and how exactly do i do that? "
    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup?  That is not good.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphon:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • I just downloaded OSX maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending emails.  How can I go back to old drag groups or addresses to the box?

    I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email.  How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?

    Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
    If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

  • ? cannot drag document from downloads to hard drive

    I suddenly cannot drag a file, any file, from my Downloads folder on my Dock to my "hard drive".
    I am hoping that the file that a Microsoft tech had me trash isn't the reason... I was having a problem with Excel for Mac and he had me delete a certain file that he said would disable a Lion feature that automatically opens last used docs upon launch of Excel. Thanks for any tips.

    Geez, I just realized you may have missed a crucial point I made in my original post:
    I cannot drag folders from my Downloads folder **on my Dock***....
    which I'm sure I've read in more than one place that I should be able to do.
    But then... I went to my Finder's left side menu, to Downloads, found my file there, and then did the copy and paste routine to move it to my Documents folder--it works!
    One solution. Thanks to you inspiring me to dig around some more.
    BUT, what about my original question? Why doesn't it work? I'm almost positive that it did at one time.

  • Apple Remote Desktop ARD 3.7 cannot drag files from local to remote.

    Apple Remote Desktop ARD 3.7 cannot drag files from local to remote. I've been able to drag n drop folders and files from my local to the remotes for years until the update to 3.7. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I've tried changing preferences. No luck. Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere.
    I'm on 10.8.5. Remote is same with 3.7 client. This happens with multiple remotes.

    Let me guess.  The Get and Send clibboard contents buttons are greyed out too?
    It is only affecting me on clients already upgraded to 3.7.    None of the clients on older versions are affected.
    ARD is also crashing a lot.
    Most of the time I go to a screen share to a client it takes way too long, so I clock Stop,  then try to connect again and works straight away.
    Hopefully a patch will be released soon.

  • Script to merge data from Numbers into Pages document, export as PDF and send via email

    Hi,
    I am wondering if it would be possible to achieve the following with an applescript:
    1. Merge Names from Numbers into a multi-page Pages document.
    2. Export each page of the resulting document as a PDF
    3. Attach each of these PDFs to an email with specific text in the body of the email, setting the subject, the 'from' email address, as well as the 'to' email address from a field in the Numbers document.
    4. Optionally send the emails automatically.
    I would be glad to know if this is possible before I embark on trying to write such a script, and for any advice/script that would help me on my way.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Thanks Bernard.  Sorry if my original post wasn't that clear.  I think you've pretty much got it in your paragraph starting "So, I think you're asking for", but will explain more in the hope that it will be clearer:
    I have a Numbers table with 2 columns: Name and Email.  I have say 50 people in this table and I need to email each person a version of a one page Pages document which would be identical except for their name.
    The Name field is the only field that needs to be merged into the Pages document (one time only).
    Once the merging has taken place the versions of the one page Pages document need to be exported as a PDF and attached to emails, one email from each person in the table in the Numbers document, with each email going to the email address corresponding to the name in the Numbers document.
    The text in the email would be identical except for the name again.  The text for the email body, subject as well as the 'from' field would be contained in the script (i.e. generated by the script).
    It would also be good to have the option of sending the emails automatically or manually, so that I could check that the emails that are generated are correct before sending.
    I hope that's clearer!

    You can reformat the drive but that will wipe all the data on it. Move everything to your Mac. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility. If you need both Mac and Windows access, I suggest ExFAT. Then move it all back

  • HT1386 I cannot drag books from I tunes to my Ipod.  i changed from xp to win7

    I cannot drag books from Itunes to Ipod touch after upgrading from XP to Win7.  the books are in Itunes successfully.  The system sees my Ipod,  just
    cannot get the books to the unit.

    I cannot do anything on the Iphone or the Ipod.  I wanted to put music from my Ipod to the library on Itunes and it will not do it! 
    Moving content is a one way street with iTunes and that is from iTunes to the iPod.  You cannot copy content from the iPod to iTunes.  The exception to this is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred back to iTunes from your iPod via File -> Transfer Purchases.
    So all of your content that was on your iPod Touch is no longer in iTunes?

  • Copying a chart with legend from numbers into mail or pages

    Hi, I have created a chart in numbers that I want to send to a supplier via Mail.
    So I select the chart in Numbers and drag it across to the new email editing window of Mail. This works but for some odd reason the legend is not copied across.
    Has anyone experienced this?
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Many thanks in advance for your help,
    D.

    Hello
    - 1 - If I group the objects in a single one, I may paste the entire chart into Mail.
    - 2 - If objects are separated but selected together, only the graph object is pasted int0 Mail.
    - 3 - If I select the graphic object I may copy-paste it into Mail.
    - 4 - If I select only the block with labels I can' Copy it, I always get a bell signal.
    I tryed this 4th case hoping that I would be able to study its contents in AppleScript but, nada. I can't copy it.
    - 5 - Other missing feature, I can't drag and drop a Numbers objet out of the doc window. It seems that the Numbers team forgot to read Apple Human Guidelines.
