Date format in iPad Numbers not compatible with Excel or OpenOffice

I use Apple Numbers on my iPad2 to collect data in the field, then download the file from iWorks as an Excel file to my PC running Windows XP and Office 2003. In the Numbers file, I want to enter dates in the format: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm and that format is the one I choose in the Numbers Date/Time options dropdown menu.
When I open the Numbers-generated Excel file, the dates display correctly in that file as originally entered. The problem occurs when I copy cells with dates to another spreadsheet originally created with Excel 2003 or OpenOffice v3.3.0.
When I copy Numbers-generated date cells to another spreadsheet, either in Excel 2003 or OpenOffice v3.3.0, the displayed dates are not correct and appear to be off by a consistent serial number value. In terms of Excel's serial date values, the Numbers date value is -1462 relative to the correct date value. e.g., 7/26/12 14:30 (equal to a serial value of 41116.6041666667 in Excel) entered into Numbers is displayed as 7/25/08 14:30 (equal to 39654.6041666667 in Excel) when that cell is copied from the Excel-formatted downloaded copy of the Numbers file to another, original, Excel spreadsheet. Ditto for an OpenOffice spreadsheet.
Since the problem occurs with either Excel or OpenOffice, I have to believe the problem lies with Numbers......... Or I am doing something totally stupid.
Any help on this?

Thanks for that. In fact, I had just discovered that same distinction between Win and Apple date systems before I saw your reply.
So, for me, the next meaningful question is whether I can change the date system used by my iPad and/or Numbers to match that used by my PC or...................... do I have to use a [+1462 days] workaround for eternity when copying dates from Numbers-generated files to spreadsheets I used on a daily basis in Excel on my Windows PC?
I understand one solution is to migrate completely to Apple, but I am not ready to do that.
Thanks, bob

Note that I have not tested either of these and they will not be supported by Microsoft.
1. Copy your new version of Silverlight.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\i386
(you'll have to re-distribute the client package after this).
OR
2. You could edit the ccmsetup.xml file with an alternative location for silverlight.exe

Ipad 3 not compatible with NFL Mobile ?

So I was going to cancel my phone because all I was using it for was for NFL Mobile, so I was told by Verizon rep to get an Ipad and save on the monthly fee still enjoy Verizon NFL Mobile. So I got an Ipad 3rd Generation MC756LL/A and now to be told is not compatible with NFL Mobile. Is that So?

Has_36,
That is a great question. I am glad that you have asked. The tablet is able to use the NFL mobile application. It will include basic build with live audio support. Video On Demand is available on non-game times as nomral. During games, video on demand highlights are blocked and are made available after the game is complete. With the tablet live TV is not available.

To use itunes 10.7 you need to have Snow Leopard operating system installed
These are the system requirements
System Requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
If you can run Snow Leopard you need to purchase it

IPad Air not compatible with NFL Mobile app?

Hello Verizon and community -
I recently added an iPad Air to my Verizon wireless account, the biggest reason being so I can watch NFL network via the NFL Mobile app through Verizon. Come to find out after some trial and error that the iPad air is not compatible with the free access to NFL network via the app? See "compatible devices" here: https://www.verizonwireless.com/insiders-guide/inside/nfl/
Seems other applie iPad devices are compatible, including the apple iPad mini, but no iPad air for some reason.
I have a Galaxy s3 on my account as well. When I download the app on that device and start it, I get a popup saying that I have access to the content for free and I am able to stream the NFL network with no problems. When I download the app to my iPad and open it, I do not get the same notification of access to the content. It opens and runs fine but if I try to tap the button to watch NFL network, it asks me to sign in with my cable provider instead of streaming.
I'm wondering if compatibility for the iPad Air will be added anytime soon?

Seems like if they really wanted to cash in they'd jump on making it
available for the Air, as it's one of the more spendy of the tabs they have
available. But I suppose that'd be too easy
Unfortunately it's Comcast around my area and they don't play nice with
others. Not on the list of compatible cable providers. Do Verizon rep's
look at these posts or is it just for community?

New iPad air 2, numbers not compatible with iphone

I have just upgraded my iPad first generation to a new iPad Air.2. I have a problem with numbers spreadsheets which I access using my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. The iPhone is a 3GS with ios6 and the latest version of Numbers it will load is version 2. The new iPad air comes loaded with Numbers version 3.
If I amend a spreadsheet with the iPad then I cannot open it with the iPhone. I have been on apple chat and they say I cannot downgrade the numbers app to version 2 on the iPad. Only solution they can come up with is to buy a later iPhone.
my question is
Apple say that numbers version 2 cannot be put on the iPad air. Does anyone know if there is a way of putting an old version of Numbers or iWork's on a new iPad.
any help would be appreciated

I have tried using the free app iSpreadsheet. It loaded Ok on iPhone 3gs and new iPad and appeared to sync via iCloud but I did not fully check this. The main problem is that the spreadsheet is limited to 50 rows so is no good for me.
Work around I am going with is to upload spreadsheet from new iPad to Dropbox in exel format. Then download from dropbox to Adobe reader on iPhon. I have found that Adobe reader is quicker reading the exel format file than converting it to PDFs. Seems odd that a pdf reader is better at reading xls files than pdf files but there you go.
i have not mentioned in the above but I have a Mac with numbers version 2 also linked to iCloud. This cannot be upgraded to numbers version 3 without an upgrade to the operating system. I also have excel on the Mac so I am going to look at putting the free exel app on the new iPad so that at least I can sync it with the Mac.
the annoying thing about this is that

Ipad 3 not compatible with 4g

I distinctly remember when I got my Ipad 3 last May in the UK that it was being advertised as 4g compatible. Now that 4G is available I have discovered that it is in fact not 4G compatible.
I'm obviously annoyed, surely this is false advertising?
Anyone have any suggestions what I can do about it?

Using USB NI-6008 on LV7.1 the results data has to be in Excel. It looks as cluster data format that i can not insert into excel VI

I am Using USB 6008 with LV 7.1. The application is voltage logger and i would like to use excel and upload the data . The Columns will be the channels and the rows will be the data.
The data comes from the DAQmx vi not like a simple string or an number it is kind of cluster data
which contains strings and numbers and more for each measurement.
I tryed to work with spraedshit and it goes ok but it is not conveniant to convert later to excel.
Do you have a solution for that please?
(How to extract the data from the cluster type format that is used with USB6008).

Arik:
I hope all is well. If you are trying to write data to a text file along with the header information, you could do the following:
1. Open a reference to a file and write the header information right away.
2. Do your continuous acquisition (in a loop) using the 6008 and write the data to a file everytime.
3. With the proper formatting, your colums will represent channels and your rows data.
Please take a look at the attached example and let me know if you have any other questions.

Facebook videos are still working for me in the Facebook App (using iOS 7.0.6).
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

I have the original IPAD, otherwise known as planned obsolescence. I have been getting update notices for Numbers and Pages but no matter what I do cannot get the update.   Finally today it says my IPad is not compatible?

I have an original IPAD, which I am beginning to call "Planned Obselescence" I am constantly notified when opening Numbers and Pages that I have an update. However, when I try to update it wil not allow it. It tells me to go to ITunes, which I have done, and still it will not download it, saying that my IPAD is not compatible.   All of this if fine if Apple wishes to do things this way, but I just want to stop being notified every time to update it, if I am not going to be allowed to do so.

The updates for Numbers and Pages are perfectly compatible with the iPad 1. I'm not sure what you are doing; perhaps a better explanation of what you are seeing is needed.

IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

Maybe. See:

Hello:
You need to contact "epost." The issue is not an Apple issue....the epost software needs, I assume, to be updated.

Error on Data Flow Task MSSQL 2012 Clustered "Description: The version of Lookup is not compatible with this version of the DataFlow. "

We have an SSIS package that runs on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes that is failing. We use a job to executer the package.
Environmental information:
Product - Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise: Core-based Licensing (64-bit)
Operating System - Microsoft Windows NT 6.1 (7601)
Patform - NT x64
Version - MSSQL Version 11.0.3349.0
Package is set to 32 -bit. All permissions verified. Runs in lower environments, same MSSQL version. All environments are clustered. In the failing environment, all nodes are at the same service pack. I have not verified if all
nodes in the failing environment have SSIS installed. Data access is installed. We have other simpler packages that run in this environment, just not this one. Time to ask the community for help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi DeveloperMax,
According to your description, the error occurs when you execute the package with Agent job on clustered MSSQL 2012 Enterprise Nodes.
As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by you use SQL Server Agent to schedule a SQL Server Integration Services package in a 64-bit environment. And the SSIS package is referencing some 32-Bit DLL or 32-Bit drivers which are available
only in 32-bit versions, so the job failed.
To fix this issue, we should use the 32-bit version of the DTExec.exe utility to schedule the 64-bit SQL Server Agent to run a package. To run a package in 32-bit mode from a 64-bit version of SQL Server Agent, we can go to the Job Step dialog box, then
select “32 bit runtime” in the Advanced tab.
Besides, we should make sure that SQL Server Integration Services is installed on the failing environment.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Unable to sync or backup my iPad2 with the new iTunes. I keep getting the error ""iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.". I've deleted all the old backups but still get this.

I'm totally frustrated by iTunes and don't know how to solve my problem. Like a lot of people on here I'm not able to sync or back up my iPad2 with my iTunes (version 10.4.1.10). I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. My iTunes worked just fine until the 10.4.xx updates came out and since June I've not been able to back up or sync the iPad2.
When I connect and try to sync I get the error message, “iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.”
I've deleted all the old backups so there are none on my system. I've deleted iTunes and re-installed the 64bit version several times but it has not made any difference. I've read and followed several suggestions on these boards about how to remove and reinstall everything but none have worked yet. I'm stumped here.

I had the exact same thing with my shuffle - same error message saying that it was corrupt so I restored it (wiping everything in the process) and the same message came up as soon as it reloaded. Thank god I didn't try it with my iPod or iPhone first. So many issues with this new version of iTunes!!!!!!!!

Unlimited MiFi Data Plan not "compatible" with 4G MiFi

I currently have a family plan that includes 2 Droid X’s, 2 non data cell phones and a 3g MiFi Card.
I pay $30 for each Droid data plans and $53 for my unlimited data MiFi plan. I recently decided to try and cut
my Verizon plan payments down to a reasonable amount. I decided to give up one of the Droid X phones that I was
using and switch back to a non-data cell phone. I can't see why I should pay for a $30 Droid data plan and $50 for MiFi.
I wanted to upgrade to 4G MiFi and use it with my IPod Touch and laptop. To save $30, but when I went to
upgrade the MiFi, I was told my unlimited data plan would not work with the 4G MiFi plan and if I wanted to upgrade,
I would have to change to the 5G or 10G plan.
I have had the unlimited data plan since 2006. I started out with the V640 Express card then in 2008 upgraded to
the Verizon USB760 EVDO Rev A modem and in 2010 the MiFi 2200. Nothing has ever been said about my unlimited
plan until this upgrade.
The nice Verizon rep told me that the unlimited data plan is not “compatible” with the 4G data plan.
Is that their way of saying “we are really trying to force you out of your grandfathered unlimited data plan”?
I have been so happy with Verizon all these years. But, if the only way I can have unlimited data with Verizon is
to stay with 3G, should I maybe start looking into the Sprint unlimited data plan?

I'm having the same problems. Sounds like they want more money to me. I started out with the usb thing several years ago.
Data is data. They should have to accept our plans.
