Cannot edit Numbers cells on iPad

I have an iMac, iPhone, and iPad. All are up to date for systems and apps. I believe since updating to Mavericks, my iPad is having an issue editing cells in Numbers. I share a spreadsheet on the Cloud among all three pieces of hardware. On the iPad, when I want to enter new data/text/time in a cell, the cursor shows up but typing in textj/data does not appear. For cells that have an entry, I cannot use the editing functions. All works OK on the iMac and iPhone.

Doh.  You're right.  Guess I was expecting the App Store or the update process to have not let the upgrade start if the prerequisites weren't met.
Thanks.
Now I have to decide if the upgrade is worth the risk of having the battery life issue that others have complained about with iOS 4.3.3.

  • Edit numbers spreadsheet pn ipad

    I imported a Numbers spreadsheet via Itunes to my Ipad. I can open it but I cannot figure out how to edit it.

    Do you have the iOS version of Numbers on your iPad? If not, then you can only view the spreadsheet, not edit it.
    Regards.

  • Cannot edit photos in standard IPad photo app

    I have a 1st generation IPad.  I recently lost the capability to edit photos through the iPad photo standard supplied app.  I was able to edit photos back in May but it no longer works since I installed the iOS 5.1.1.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thanks Tom.  I took a look at iPhoto but unfortunately it says it is for Ipad2 and up.  So that app will not help.  I took a look at snapseed and that looks like it will also work.  I will also check in at an Apple Stor also.  Does any one else have any other suggestions?

  • How to place a photo in a numbers cell on iPad?

    How do you insert a photo from the Camera Roll into a cell in Numbers?
    Tried to Copy but when go to the cell there is no option to paste.

    Thanks

    It is OK. Got it sorted I think! Had imported the spreadsheet from Excel and found that if selected a cell outside the main spreadsheet range that could then paste there and just move the photo over.
    Still welcome any other suggestions though.
    Thanks

  • JTable problem - cannot edit the cells (only happens in Linux)

    I have a JFrame that contains a JScrollPane, and this JScrollPane contains a JTable, the code is:aPanel = new JScrollPane(myTable);The program is done, runs fine in PC & Unix, but when I run it in Linux the problem occurs. Somehow I just cannot type anything into the cells. There is a workaround, if I minimize and later restore the Frame, then I can start type the cells.
    I run out ideas what to do. Is this a bug in Java itself? Anybody has any idea why this happens or suggestions what I should do?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    This very well could be a bug in Java's focus system (by the way, what version are you using?). Another possibility is that this could be a threading issue. Can you try and see if this works? Re-write the main method of your application like this so that all GUI construction happens on the event dispatch thread:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
    private createAndShowGUI() {
        // move construction of GUI and
        // pack(), setVisible(), etc. here.
    }Does that help?

  • Cannot update Numbers app on iPad

    I have a first gen iPad running iOS 4.2.1.  I have Numbers 1.3.1 installed and was trying to update to the newest version.  I initially responded to the notification that asked if I wanted to update.  After going through the App Store on the iPad, the application downloaded, started the "install" phase, and then popped up the message that the application failed to download.  I tried several times with the same result.  It realizes that I have "purchased" the upgrade and lets me try again, but fails each time.  iTunes realizes I have an app to download and I click on the download button in the Account Information.  I tries the download, but immediately returns having not downloaded the app.  Has anyone seen a solution for this issue?  Thanks!

  • Cannot edit anything in my Numbers file

    Suddenly, I find myself with files that I cannot edit. I can click on the headings and footers and edit, but not the actual content. 3.2 numbers/Maverick.
    I haven't  been having any issue before now. What can I do to fix it. 

    Okay... was about to check for the view only, when I don't have a clue what I hit, but it suddenly filled the screen and then I could actually make changes. I have no idea what I did...I was in the view tab and I must have hit the full screen option...but for some reason now it works. I haven't had to do that before. So, I am puzzled. Again many thanks Wayne!
    Me thinks the problem is solved.

  • Need help with Drop down cells on IPAD Numbers

    Hy everyone:
    Im new in this forum and Im not god writing, so sorry for my english.
    I have a question about using Drop down cells on Numbers in the IPAD version. In Numbers I normally can use drop down cell but some days ago i bought the IPAD and Iwork suit, and i import some numbers documents that I have done. When I tried to drop the menu of a cell I could not.
    I would like to know is their is a way to see this type of menus on IPAD Numbers.
    Thanks for the attention. And I will be grateful for your answers

    I don't think drop down selection is supported in iPad numbers. If you would like to see this functionality added, peas make a suggestion at http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Thanks

  • I'm not able to edit text in Numbers from my iPad.

    I'm not abl to edit text in Numbers from my iPad.  The files were originally created on the iPad and for years have worked effortlessly between my Macbook, iPhone and iPad.  After the last update in Numbers (Can't remmember if it was on the Macbook or iPad) I've had this issue.  Any solutions please?!

    for years have worked effortlessly between my Macbook, iPhone and iPad.
    You were lucky!  I had frequent syncing troubles with the old Numbers.  The new Numbers syncs well.
    Are you are running the latest version everywhere?
    Numbers on iPad: 2.0.1
    Numbers on Mac: 3.0.1
    iOS: 7.0.4
    If you're still having trouble, try creating new documents and copying your tables over from the old documents. There may have been a glitch somewhere when you imported the old documents into the new version.

  • Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad? Anyone have a fix? Have also created a dropdown menu, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad as they will in excel? Anyone have a fix? I have also created a dropdown menu in excel, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Glad you got it sorted out.

  • Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

    Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
    Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
    Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • InfoPath Form Library cannot edit in Datasheet view, cells delete themself

    Hello,
    I wanted to be able to edit a cell in datashee view for my form library. I have made sure within the publishing wizard that the cells can be edited in datasheet view. This seemed to work fine last week, but now when I input text into the cells, pause for
    3 seconds, the cells then delete themselves???
    I have no idea why, the cells are not read only and I have triple checked they can be edited in datasheet view. they are simple text fields!!
    Has anyone ever seen this behavior before??

    Hi Palumbob,
    I tested the same scenario per your post in my environment, however the datasheet view worked fine when I edited the cells.
    For troubleshooting this issue, I recommend to test the things below:
    Check if there are any workflows or event receivers to set the column value to be null in the library.
    Type value in the simple text field and then click other cells to see how the value works.
    Create a new datasheet for the library to see if the issue still occurs.
    Create a new column in the library and test.
    Create a new library and test.
    Thanks,
    Victoria

  • Cannot send email anymore from IPad Air

    >>Duplicate post removed to comply with the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service   Please see Cannot send email from my IPad Air<<
    Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

    Thanks.  I got the problem fixed.  Spent time with the Apple folks and was kicked up to a senior advisor.  It seems the problem was with my internet provider - Tmie Warner.  Remember I could use the old ipad and the iphone to send mail.  I checked all the specifics between the three units.  It seems that TW is changing over from the RR.com  to TWC.com.  Since the new ipad air was just set up, it fell under the new TWC mail specifics.
