Changing Currency Symbol from the Menu bar to other than €

I use the Costa Rican colon symbol ¢ (in front of number) as a routine value, as well as the U.S. dollar symbol and it seems cumbersome to select the "Inspector" to make these alternate currency symbols (or any alternate to € symbol). Speaking of the Costa Rican colon, it is represented incorrectly anyway and I don't know how to change the symbol.
Also, in the pop-up menu of the "Inspector -- currency" all currency symbols show as € and only when a cell is clicked after selecting a currency symbol, does it appear in the cell (not correct, but at least something other than €.
This is my first hour of "playing with" Numbers. I hope it's not a sign of things to come.

There are many variations to the symbols used for currency worldwide, please, if yours is wrong let Apple know. The feedback option is under Numbers on the menu bar. This is a user to user forum provided by Apple, not run by them.
My symbol on the menu bar is $, which is correct and rather common worldwide, maybe a generic currency symbol is used for smaller areas of the world. I know I have the Australian flag rather than a New Zealand one on my menu bar for the international settings. We are obviously too small to have our own
You can show all currency options in the inspector by changing the Numbers preferences. A quick way of selecting the correct currency in the inspector is to open the list and type the first few letters.
I'd expect your default would be the same as you have set in the System Preferences > International.
You could also make a couple of templates for yourself in both currencies and use them instead.
Numbers is a neat piece of software, keep playing with it and you may well get to like it.

  • The problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is blackcolor

    the problem i am having is when i go to open a file from the menu bar that as "FILE" is all black in color and i cant see what i'm picking how do i change that so i can see what i'm picking

    Is that Photoshop?  Depending on the version you could try to change the Color Theme (Edit | Preferences | General | Appearance).
    If that does not help, you may have a better chance to get a useful answer if you ask in the Photoshop or Photoshop Elements forum.

  • When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move them in groups to a folder?

    When is select Bookmarks from the Menu Bar, at the very bottom are a bunch of bookmarks. How can I move these in groups to a folder or folders?

    The easiest way to move bookmarks around is in the Bookmarks Organizer, which at some point was renamed the Library. To open it, you can choose Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks or press Ctrl+Shift+b.
    (Please note that the sort order of the Library dialog doesn't actually carry over to the menu. To sort the menu alphabetically, it's easiest to open the Bookmarks Sidebar, right-click the words Bookmarks Menu and choose Sort by Name.)

    I cannot log onto the App Store, the page appears when I call it from the dock or the Apple menu and I can call the log-in box from the menu bar, but on signing in the spinning icon just keeps spinning,(not the beachball).  Using 10.6.7 and up-to-date on all software. Any suggestions?

    Could be a third party app preventing you from being able to login.
    Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    If it's not a third party issue, follow the instructions here.
    Quit the MAS if it's open.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left then open the Library folder then the Caches folder.
    Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files from the Caches folder to the Trash
    From the same Library folder open the Preferences folder.
    Move these files Preferences folder to the Trash: com.apple.appstore.plist and com.apple.storeagent.plist
    Same Library folder open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the MAS.

  • How can I REMOVE the Yahoo! tab from the menu bar? Each time I open Firefox, I get the gialogue box asking if I want to make yahoo the default and each time I respond no and check the do not ask this question again.

    '''Hello peacefultrev,'''
    I believe from your question you wish to remove the window title-bar, while keeping the menu bar available.
    I have two solutions for you to try. One requires no plugin and the other requires the installation of a plugin.
    '''No plugin option:'''
    This option hides the the window title while also removing the menu bar. The menu bar can then be reactivated and viewed simply by pressing "Alt" which shows the menu bar until you click away from it. To do this:
    # Right click on the tab bar and disable "Menu Bar".
    # Whenever you which to use the menu bar, tap "Alt" on your keyboard.
    # When you click away from the menu bar the windows title will disappear until you tap "Alt" again.
    '''Plugin Option:'''
    You can download this plugin called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-caption-titlebar-plus-sma/ Hide Caption Titlebar Plus] which can be customized to suit your needs. I cannot provide support on this plugin as I have not used it myself.
    I hope one of these solutions will suit your needs.

    How can I remove the Adobe Updater icon from the menu bar? It's pixelated and looks broken. Any help is appreciated.
    I found this thread, but it doesn't work. When I click on the Updater icon, then click "Open updater," it opens the Creative Cloud instead. I haven't found a way to remove the updater icon from within Creative cloud.

    1. In Photoshop, go to Help >Updates:
    2. Click "Preferences" at the bottom right.
    3. Uncheck the box labeled "Notify me of new updates on the menu bar." Then click "Ok."
    Hope that helps anyone!

  • How do I remove the Box icon from the menu bar?

    I have an account on Box, which is a sync program.
    Before the last Box updated, I could hide its icon from the menu bar, but now it is not possible and I really don't want it there.
    I have tried to drag it out of there, by pressing CMD and dragging, but nothing happens.
    Is there any other way to remove it?
    Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry for the bad English.

    The problem is that I don't have the option to remove it anymore. And I don't want to uninstall it wither.
    Anyway... Thanks for trying to help me. I'll have to get used to it.
    Thank you again.

  • My creative cloud icon has gone from the menu bar on top right hand side of screen

    the creative cloud icon is gone from the menu bar?  How can I get it back?

    Sometimes too many open apps will hide it, but if it closed,
    Restart the Creative Cloud app. Look for it in Spotlight.

  • How to remove "help" from the menu bar?

    I'm using a landscape monitor in vertical mode, so I have a very narrow top of the screen. I never use the help button, ever. How can I remove it from the menu bar, freeing up some space? I need more space in the menu bar for MenuMeters etc. Thanks.

    Usually the apps belonging to these icons have an option that allows you to hide the Menu Bar icon by allowing them to run as an app in the dock. However, certain applications like Caffeine must show their icons as otherwise you wouldn't be able to access them.
    For example, Dropbox doesn't allow you to remove its menu bar icon:

  • Question: Internet Connect and its symbol in the menu bar

    Hello,
    I have set up "Internet Connect" to show its status in the Menu bar. When I am connected, I see the black/gray symbolic radio waves. I have noticed, that this icon is in company with a time counter, when my MAC gets the ip address via DHCP rather than having a static ip assigned.
    On a "DHCP MAC", sometimes this time counter disappears for a moment and gets back after a couple of seconds. During this drop out, the icon with the radio waves remains unchanged which is usually "all black" as I have very good signal strength.
    Does anybody know about the reason/cause for that drop out of displying the time counter? I really would like to know the technical background, as I found out that during those "time counter drop outs", my AirTunes music stream tends to be broken as well. Even though it seems that the signal is still OK (all radio waves in the symbol are black).
    Thx for any hints on that!

    Great, thank you also!
    Also, on interference, through much testing, I find that even one signal can interfere with it's self by bouncing off different surfaces.
