HELP !?! Numbers spreadsheet on iPad in iCloud : "can't be opened"

Been travelling for the past 2 weeks, only have my iPad with me. Have been working on a Numbers spreadsheet in iCloud, and today at some point for no apparent reason Numbers closes and I am directed back to Home Screen. Numbers app seems still open, but spreadsheet (although still showing in list of documents) won't open anymore.
Anyone can help me please with re-opening the document ? (I have made lots of changes over the past 2 weeks, and won't be back home at my MacBook Air for another week. I hope I have not lost weeks of work ...)
Thanks
P.S. I have tried to reset the iPad, didn't work ...

Restart fixed this, but still—not reassuring.

So, I do download it to my imac, make changes, save and then 'move to icloud'. But I don't see the changes when I open the spreadsheet again in my numbers app.
Seems to not be working properly.

Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

Sharing Numbers spreadsheet with others so they can make slight changes?

I created a Numbers spreadsheet and saved it to iCloud with a password. I want to share it with 2 other people and allow them to make simple changes to the spreadsheet.
1. Do they need to log in to iCloud to make changes to the spreadsheet that I shared?
2. How do they save their changes after making them? I just checked the link created when sharing the spreadsheet and I didn't see a save button in the browser.
3. Which browsers will others be able to view/edit the spreadsheet in? Will it also work on PC?
Thanks!

You can create a "master" path and then link all of the other paths to that one with an expression. You don't even need to write the expression yourself; you can just Alt-click the Mask Path property stopwatch for a child mask and drag the expression pick whip to the master Mask Path property. You can link the paths of shape layers the same way.

How to closed a numbers spreadsheet in ipad?

How do I close a numbers spreadsheet on my ipad 2? I cannot find a button or menu to close it. It has personal information on and the spreadsheet is password protected. I have opened it but cannot close it so if I lost my ipad, people would be able to see the personal info. That's why I need to close it.

Thanks Michael. I am finding this really hard to explain even though it's so simple. I have my passwords on a numbers spreadsheet. I password protected it. Every time I try to open it on my macbook it asks for a password. This is what I want. I open it, I update it. I close it, I want to update it again, it asks for the password again, I input the password, I update the sheet, I close it. I dont close it by opening another sheet or not worrying about it because my laptop is password protected, I hit the "X" in the top rught hand corner and close it.
Now, on my ipad I cannot do the equivlemt of clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner as the "X" does not appear on Numbers on the iPad?
That is my question, not how to mask it by opening another sheet or looking for a work around like password protecting the iPad so it doesn't matter that the spreadsheet is still open. Just, how do I Close (X out) of a Numbers spreadsheet when it's open in my iPad?
I would really appreciate anyone helping me on this and thank you to the 2 people who have tried.

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.

When I attempted to open a Numbers Spreadsheet on iPad it deleted

I was using Numbers on my iPad, loading a file from iCloud when it suddenly deleted. Any way to recover this, and why is this happening? (This is the 2nd time with the "same" --recreated--file.)

Is your back up on iTunes or iCloud.
To copy to iTunes..
When the document is open tap the spanner and choose 'Share and Print, then choose Send a copy, then choose iTunes.

Ipad pages: document can't be opened

I've been using pages to write a paper on my iPad. I've opened and closed the document several times with no problem. Tonight I tried to email a pdf of the finished document from pages. Not only was this not successful, I can no longer open this document at all (though no problem with other documents). I've tried rebooting the ipad, updating pages, and updating iOS--still no success. Any other suggestions? Need to email a pdf of this to a PC to submit for a class ASAP. :(

If you use iCloud with Pages, go into iCloud.com using a browser on your computer - not the iPad - and see if the document is in there. Download it and see if you can open it that way.
You could try restoring from a backup as well if you backed up when you synced - and if the document is in the backup. You will be restoring your iPad to the condition it was in last Friday when you last synced.
You could also quit Pages, reboot the iPad and hope that the document will open after that.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Syncing Numbers Spreadsheet on iPad and Mac

Hi There,
I have created spreadsheet in Numbers on my laptop that I would like to have on my iPad as well. My hope is that I can use iCloud to keep the same files and same information on both machines. Thus, when I make a change to the iPad spreadsheet, that is automatically reflected in the version on my laptop. So, I uploaded the spreadsheet to iCloud, and when I tried to download it to my iPad, the file appeared in my Spreadsheet pane, but it never actually opened. The icon for the file in the Spreadsheet pane on my iPad has been grayed-out for more than a day.
I also tried going the other way; I created a similar spreadsheet on my iPad, uploaded it to iCloud, and then tried to open it on my laptop. When I login to iCloud on my Mac and try to open the file, I get a little message that tells me that the file is "Updating", and nothing happens. Here is what it looks like on my laptop:
Does anyone have any ideas?

Go to system preferences > iCloud > manage and delete the numbers files from iCloud. Check that documents is now empty both on the iPad and in iCloud.com and try again.

How can I lock spreadsheets on ipad so I can't edit it by accident

I got ipad air and I'm using numbers for first time but I want to lock the spreadsheets after I created them so I don't edit them by accident, so I can still enter data in the spreadsheet.
This will be so useful for me
Thanks

I just learned this has nothing to do with the update. I recently changed from POP mail to IMAP, which automaticall syncs to all devices, including the server! So - anyone know if it's possible to get around this? So that I can read email on one device and have it still show unread in another? Or is the only fix making sure those I want to get back to on another device be individually re-set as unread? This sync is causing problems for us!

Help - unable to remove ipad from icloud device list

I am trying to erase/remove my IOS7 ipad mini from my iCloud account, as I am selling the device.
I have been able to use the iCloud - Find my iPhone function to sucessfully erase the ipad mini. I did this using the browser interface to www.icloud.com from a PC.
I then try to 'remove' the 'erased' ipad and I am getting a recurring :- 'There was a problem sending your request to your device' error in the iCloud, Find my iPhone browser screens.
The device has sucessfully been erased and even if I repeat the device setup and re-associate it with my icloud ID. I get the same problem as above. Furthermore if I try to disassociate from icloud on the device itself by selecting the > general > reset > reset all content and settings option. I am asked for my iCloud login as part of this and I get an error that the device cant connect to iCloud - or something similar.
Any ideas how I get around this, as I basically have an orphaned ipad entry (albeit erased - so none of my data is on it), associated with my iCloud account and I dont want this - obviously..
Thanks..

Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried all that - but it makes no difference. Will see if speaking to apple support can help.

If I have streamed my photos from my iPhone 5 to my iPad, through icloud, can I now delete them from my phone or will this cause them to be deleted from my iPad also. I need to do an update and free some space

I have icloud. I have backed up my photos from my iPhone 5 to my iPad. Can I now delete the photos from my phone and they will stay on my iPad? I need to clear space in order to run an update.

I get the following warning message when deleting a shared Phoyo Stream:
"Name of Stream" will be deleted from all of your devices and the devices of subscribers."
It pops up because that is what will happen. It does not mean photos stored locally in iPhoto on your Mac will be deleted.
If iPhoto is set to automatically import photos in your Photo Stream and store locally on Mac, you are covered with photos copied to "My Photo Steam". I don't believe that includes the photos in a shared photo stream you create or that you accept which was created by someone else. I can add photos to a shared stream from photos on my iPhone that were transferred from my computer. If those were saved by iPhoto on my Mac as well which are already in iPhoto on my Mac, I would not want that.

How to select entire Numbers SpreadSheet on Ipad for Global Format?

Hi,
I have a very large speadsheet covering several years. It looks like it got copied onto itself slighty scewed and too difficult to read. I can select one cell and change its format to left from right justification and the cell separates displaying both columns. If I could select the entire worksheet I could seperate the data and repaitr the spreadsheet.
Is there a way to do this on an Ipad 3rd Gen Ios7?
Howie

Hi Timothy,
I don't know what place or DT mean. Here is a simplified table of individuals payments (net pay?)
The 'Summary by person' table uses SUMIF to sum values that match a person's name in the 'Individual payments' table
B2 contains this formula (and Fill Down):
=SUMIF(Individual payments::B,A2,Individual payments::C)
Regards,
Ian.
