Decimal problem in iWork US EU
I don't work a lot with numbers but want to start to use it a bit more but I seem to bump on the problem that I can't convert US created decimals to eu decimals. Here is the problem :
I get my sheets in txt format and when I import these in to Numbers, Numbers just deletes the separator as in the US they use "." instead of ",". When I import them in excel the seperator doesn't get deleted so I van chance the seperator to local settings. But I even can't find a way to get iWork show the original values.
My local language is Dutch (Belgian) and so is my iWork and OS. How can I fix this?

I don't understand what is described.
If it is a US TAB separated values, it would be:
123.45⇥56,789.01⇥123,456.78
If we open the text file with Numbers on a French system, Numbers will fill three cells with what it decipher as three strings.
A clever soluce is to set, temporarily the System setting to Region = Suisse (French)
the numbers without thousand separator would be correctly deciphered as Numbers.
You will have to remove the thousand separators if some are used.
Save the document
Reset the System preferences to Region = Belgium
open the document
You will get the normal French format:
123,45⇥56 789,01⇥123 456,78

Problems with iWork syncing with iCloud
Hello there,
So I have a slight problem -- my iWork is failing to sync with my iCloud. I have the entire iWork suite installed on my MacBook, but for some reason, iCloud isn't registering with it. I go on iCloud and it mentions purchasing it. But, the problem is, I already have it purchased. If someone could help with this, that would be MUCH appreciated!
-I have attatched some screenshots.-Hi yantaialec,
Once you have insured WiFi is on and Photo Stream is enabled, the only other thing I can think of is to make sure the Camera App is closed for the photo syncing to work.
From iCloud: Photo Stream Troubleshooting
"Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed."
You may even want to remove it from the Multitasking Bar just to make sure it's quit and see if it streams.
What does tech support say?

Hello Communitie,
Im having a Problem with iWork.
I have the newest MacBook Air with the latest Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
So some Time ago I donwloadet iWork ( Trial ) from the Apple Website.
I buyed it with a Serialnumber.
Now 1 year later keynote, Numbers and Pages can't start.
Every time if i cklick on Keynote nothing happens.
Than when i click the logo in the dock it loads my presentation and when I wanna open
my presentation nothing is happining.
' Close Keynote and try again'
Can somebody help me?
I'd reinstall 3x times.Remove iWork completely, you must use an an application removal tool to do this or it wont remove everything. Appcleaner will do this and its free.
Once everything is deleted reinstall iWork and repair permissions:
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > First Aid: click on your system disc in the drive column and select Repair Disk Permissions -
Hello experts.
I have a problem with decimal on a query that its used in a VDT.
In the dev system it works fine, but when I transport it to Prod system, the decimals doesn't represent fine.
An example:
dev system prod system
2,50 UN 3 UN
Does anyone help me on this.
Thks
Vitor Ramalhohi,
If you are not getting the decimal values let us say 2,50 instead of 2.50 then what you need to do is go to your user profile in production and select defaults tab and select the required decimal notation. The report should now show the values 2, 50 as 2.50.
Hope it helps......... -
Problem with iWorks attachments
I recently purchased the latest version of iWorks so that I can send attachments to my iPhone 3G, but I have not been able to open any attachments saved in any of the iWorks formats (.numbers, .pages or .key). The files have the proper extensions and appear with the appropriate icon in mail on the iPhone, but will only open to a blank screen or with a very small question mark in the upper left hand corner. I have tried sending the attachments using Entourage, Apple Mail and my Mobile Me (web mail) account all with the same result.
Is any one else having this problem? Any ideas on what is causing it?I can convert the files to other formats like Word, Excel, Power Point and PDF. This works, but it is my understanding that the native format of iWorks should be recognized in email on the iPhone. I would like to skip the conversion step.

Ok to give a background to why i am writing this and so everyone has a better understanding of exactly what it is that i want it to do it goes like this.... My girlfriend got a message from a friend that was all in ones and zeros, and no its not because something on one of the mail servers is messed up he meant for it to be that way. But through the process of converting the 8 digit binary numbers into decimal values so that the corresponding ANSI character could be found I decided that it was taking to damn long so i would just write a prog to do it for me and then i could send back an annoying long message to that guy with ease. Only there is a catch over the summer i went from hotshot for a newb to a newb without a clue, i more or less didnt write a single line of code over 4 months and now i am having problems.
I wanted to write a program that could-
-convert long strings of chars into all 8 digit binary code
-as well as convert large blocks of 8 digit binary back into ANSI letter values and then ANSI characters
-I want it to use a frame and have a relativly simple usage procedure
Now that you know what i set out to do I can show you how far i got -

OK so other than that i decided to play with some of the paint functions i more or less stayed on task, at first i had it just convert 8 digit binary nums into decimal form using this -

if(a.charAt(i)=='1') decimal+=ctr;
ctr*=2;
which i found in someone elses post and made some changes to, thank you someone whoever you are i hope you see this, anyways,.. then i decided i wanted it to check the length of a string and divide it by 8 assuming that it it a perfect block of 8 digit nums and then cut it into substring and go through the proccess of converting the binary to deciaml one piece at a time. I did it more or less, well it compiles right but whenever you put in more than one 8 digit binary number it ends up giving you some really strange decimal numbers and i cant seem to figure out why the hell it is doing this.??? I was hoping that some one could help me out.

Hi,
In Export invoice we are entering currency in USD.When we enter the value it accepts 3 decimal places.But it is stored as 2 decimal places in table.
Eg.2.059 USD in invoice screen
but in table 20.59 USD.
What is the problem?where we can rectify this error?It will be stored with two decimal places. No issues with that. when you display this on your report, you have to specify the currency as USD and your issue will be resolved.
write: v_amount to v_amount currency 'USD'.
I am quoting from the help of the write statement below.
This addition defines currency-dependent decimal places for the output of data objects of data types i or p. For all other data types, except for f, the addition is ignored. For cur, a three-digit, character-type field is expected that contains a currency key from the column CURRKEY of the database table TCURX in uppercase letters. The system determines the number of decimal places from the column CURRDEC of the respective row in the database table TCURX. If the content of cur is not found in TCURX, two decimal places are used. The following applies for numeric data types:
In the case of data types of type i, a decimal separator is inserted at the position determined by cur and the thousands separators are moved accordingly.
In the case of data objects of type p, the decimal places defined in the definition of the data type are ignored completely. Irrespective of the actual value and without rounding actions, the decimal separators and the thousand separators are inserted at the positions in the numbers determined by cur.
In the case of data objects of type f, the addition CURRENCY has the same effect as the addition DECIMALS (see below). Here, the number of decimal places is determined by cur.
If the addition CURRENCY with length specification * or ** is used after AT, it is used first and the output length is determined from the result.
Note
The addition CURRENCY is appropriate for the display of data objects of type i or p without decimal places, whose contents are currency amounts in the smallest unit of the currency.
Example
The output of the WRITE statement is "123456,78".
DATA int TYPE i VALUE 12345678.
WRITE int NO-GROUPING CURRENCY 'EUR'. -
Problems with iWork '09 in Mountain Lion
After installing Mountain Lion, I've got problems using the iWork '09 applications. I tried to update them, but it's still not possible to open or create a document. Would anyone have tips/ideas about this?

Re: Is anyone having issues with Pages 09 or Keynote 09 after updating to Mountain Lion?
Aug 6, 2012 3:04 PM (in response to Sara167)
This is what FINALLY worked for me after reinstalling and uninstalling and doing everything else mention above, and with a call to Apple's Support.
Move the applications into the trash (of course) and then make sure you remove the folder called "iWork '09" in your Hard Drive Library (not your User Library) under Application Support. You can throw away your preferences too if you want, but I didn't. Then do a clean install. And THEN open the Mac App store and run the auto update (or just select Software Update from the apple menu).
At first I thought it was too simple of a fix, but it indeed fixed everything. All iWork apps opened, opened files (they were saying they couldn't be opened) and Keynote finally worked (it was crashing and erroring out). I can now use all iCloud features, and everything, no problem.
I am pretty tech savvy and felt silly for not even thinking of this and how easy it was to fix. I even used an app uninstaller to make sure it removed all of iWork's little bits, but it didn't do that last folder. It has been causing problems for a week and am so glad I contacted customer support. You can contact them if you just got Mountain Lion. Just sign up to have them call you or give them a call if this doesn't work for you.
Would love to hear if this worked for other people.
This worked perfectly, I've been fighting with Numbers and Pages for a couple of weeks trying to get them to update, because each time I would open any of my documents/files it would pop a window saying there was an update available, bring me to the Mac App Store then do nothing, no update would show. After following the procedure in the post you linked it worked. I'm finally updating. Whew, saved me money, I really didn't want to have to purchase all those again from the App Store. -
How to uninstall Snow Leopard? major font problems in iWork, iLife
All iWork and iLife apps have shocking font problems... so much so that I need to uninstall Snow Leopard and wait for Apple to sort it out. Does anyone know the best way? And how is it possible that these problems are occurring with Apple's inhouse software? Other stuff seems to be working OK so far for the most part. For a bit more detail on my problems, including sample images:
http://bit.ly/309G0oSnow lizard cost me $27.000.00 in unusable fonts. We installed snow lizards (what I'm calling it now) and lost 934 fonts. Say 40 were bad fonts and 896 were type 1 postscript. When I explained to the tech person how big this was to the print community, he had no clue. - I'm still waiting to hear back. I have a case number but now I read from another post they knew Snow Lizard would do this. At 30.00 per font that is almost $27,000 to replace what they thought wasn't important. But in the print world of design this is huge. Every layout and ad that needs an update - which take a few minutes is a whole rework. They have no clue what business a mac computer is in or they don't see us as important.
I did find if I load those fonts or the font missing into the InDesign font folder I can get the old ad to make it to pdf. But photoshop and illustrator, I'm screwed. And if I didn't outline the type in illustrator - it's gone. I asked the tech guy if I can go back, and undo this slimy lizard and he said probably not if we do backups. We do backups every hour - this is the print business. I feel forsaken. I've been with apple for so many years. -
Problem with iWork updates after iOS 5.1 install
iTunes showed updates for my iWork apps, but indicated I needed to update to iOS 5.1 first. I updated to iOS 5.1, and then did the updates for Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. The Pages update was successful. The updates for Keynote and Numbers will not load, but now I can't use either app at all. The app shows up with the loading ticker at the bottom, but when touched, indicates "Waiting", then a message comes up that says "Unable to Download Application", with choices for "Done" or "Retry." "Retry" does nothing and the message comes up again. I've tried restarting and resetting with no success.
Thoughts?
Thanks.Here's how to fix this.
1) Get your playlist in the order you want in iTunes.
2) Create a new playlist and drag all the songs into it from the sorted playlist.
The next 2 are important!!!
3) Do not change the order using any of the column headers.
4) Do not select Copy To Play Order.
5) (Optional) Delete old playlist, rename new playlist.
Sync your device.
The problem is in the sorting. If you don't sort your playlist via the column headers you're OK.
Hope this helps. -
I tried opening a "pages" document and rcvd error msg....files that iwork needs are missing ....I don't have the dvd as the software came preinstalled. When I attempt to update from App Store everything shows up to date. How can I get get Pages to work properly?
Thanks fruhulda,
I was just waiting for the iTunes receipt, which came in yesterday.
I was charged the full €17.99 for Keynote! I can't remember how/where I originally purchased Keynote (and Pages and Numbers), but all I know now is that because I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I had to purchase again something that I already owned. I know I should have had the original download or original media, but I could not find it when I needed it.
I am truly sorry I upgraded to Mountain Lion. It broke more than it was worth and I am still finding problems.
For me the issue is that when I fire up Keynote, it is because I need to do something there and then. I don't start it up for idle amusement. On Sunday I need to get a presentation prepared. I did not need the time being wasted trying to fnd a solution; uninstalling the now defunct version; and then downloading and installing a new version.
Yes, the solution worked! But for me, it was a waste of time and money.
Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate the support, especially as it is freely given. My beef is with Apple on this issue.
Thanks,
Niall -
person deleted trial version of iWork, and now cannot install complete version.
keep getting error below...
You cannot continue. There is nothing to install.
The trial is nowhere to be found, and I have checked numerous times. This person needs to install this asap, and I cannot do so. Please help. Any and all input from you fellow mac lovers would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tim CuccaroTim,
The trial didn't need to be deleted. All that needed
to be done was to start the program and use the
serial number from the purchased version. But once
any part of the trial is been deleted, all of it
needs to go before you can install a new version.
That's the problem your friend is experiencing --
he/she has left behind some Pages-related files that
the new version mistakes for the full program. What
you need to do is to do a Spotlight search on the
following words: Pages, Keynote, iWork. Anything
that has one of the those words in it needs to be
trashed before the new version can be installed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, I figured that was the problem. I'm a teacher, so tomorrow when school starts up again, I'll get her ibook and give it a whirl. Thanks again.

A confusing problem with iwork 08
i'm posting again since my first effort has not gotten a response which resolved my issue. i will try to provide more detail.
yesterday, i launched pages 08, and it crashed on launch. then it crashed on launch a number of times in a row. out of curiosity, i tried keynote and numbers, and they too crashed on launch. i deleted the plists and tried again. made no difference.
i have two other accounts on the machine, root enabled long ago and rarely (almost never) used, and a non-admin account i created not that long ago for troubleshooting purposes. for fun, i tried iwork in both those accounts, and they launch and run with no problem. the original document i wanted to open launched in both accounts with no problem. so i guess the problem is unique to my main account.
for information purposes, one week ago, i was listening to a playlist in itunes when i experienced a sudden unexpected power outage. mac rebooted automatically, and a quick check of itunes seemed to show no issues, so i went merrily on my way. now it seems that possibly iwork was the corrupted casualty of that event.
some info from the crash log generated on launch =

thanks very muchHello
As an old time user, I gave you a workaround.
There are thousands of files in the system.
Searching for the corrupted file is like searching a needle in a haystack.
Applying what I wrote would give you a working system but if you refuse to do that, I just may tell you: good luck

Decimal Problem in Document Amount..
Greetings for the day,
In table amount showing properly. I mean decimal showing only 2 digits but
in my document it is showing 3 digits. Earlier it was worked properly but
since today morning I am facing this problem. I checked in T.code OY04
there is no option for 2 decimals hence I haven't maintained local currency
with any of the available options(1,3 or 5). So how to set in document
decimals as 2 digits?
Kindly revert me back as soon as possible with your valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Vinod.Just check in OY01
SU3 - User profile
Do not give anything in OY04 - I have checked for my currecny GBP. I don't even find my currency in OY04
It seems this setting is not needed
Thanks
