How can i make a cell set a timestamp when I click a checkbox in numbers for iPad?

I am trying to make it so that when I click a checkbox, the cell next to it creates a timestamp. I have very put of practice making spreadsheets, and this new format is giving me a hard time.
Thanks for your help!

Under the previous version of Numbers for iOS at least, you could use the loophole/bug in the IF statement that would execute on TRUE, but do nothing if FALSE, if you didn't explicitly set it. This would allow the spreadsheet to have a sense of before and after that would allow for all sorts of time stamping possibilities. In fact, I wrote an entire complex spreadsheet based on this loophole. It worked great! But I was also aware that Apple would likely close this loophole to make the IF statement conform to their documentation, and sure enough, they did, and now my spreadsheet is utterly useless.
Maybe I'm just stupid, but with this latest update, I don't see any way to hold a static time stamp. I thought it would be doable by some contorted means, but after several hours, I still haven't come up with anything. Pity, too, because it was quite useful.
Would someone please tell me how stupid I am.

GB for iPad doesn't have volume automation, you'd need to import the project into GB on a Mac to create the fade with a volume curve.
as an alt, finish your song and export the audio file, then import the audio file in an audio editor and create a volume fade with that:

Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

How can I locate my iTunes library files. When I click on my itunes icon the message appears, "The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be found because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."

How can I locate my iTunes library files? When I click on my iTunes icon rather than my iTunes files I receive, " The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I have already tried to update my iTunes program.

Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
1. Delete old Library file
2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension - 'iTunes Library'
You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

In Numbers, how can I make a cell reference a constant in a formula?

This is a basic question, but I am not sure of the answer. I am trying to calculate a previous SUM that I have by a column. But when I calculate it, it keeps looking for data in the cells after the SUM that I already have.
In other words, how can I get a constant cells value into my equation?
Any help would be great!
(In excel, I could do it just by placing $ around my cell field. Like H23 would be $H23$. THanks!)

JJ,
Numbers works exactly like Excel in this regard. To change H23 from a reference that will change if the formula is moved to a fixed cell reference, make it $H$23.

How can I make Firefox stop setting all downloaded files to "Share with nobody"?

For the last few months, every file I download with Firefox has its homegroup share option set to "Share with nobody". All my user accounts are administrator level, I have the sharing set properly in the destination file, and I am using FF 27.0.1. I have set the "scan when done" and "save zone information" to false in about:config. I have always had FF set to ask me where to save a download every time, and I've only had this problem recently. A couple topics said that this would be fixed in 27, but it is not for me.

The problem is created by using the temp folder, which is locked to the current user. Instead of copying the file from the temp folder, pasting to the desired download location, then deleting the file from the temp folder, Firefox uses a faster move command (when the destination is on the same drive as the temp folder). That move command does not rewrite the permissions to match the destination.
I think someone tried to work around this by making the permissions on the temp folder more liberal, but I don't think that worked or at least I don't recall anyone proclaiming success with that. (I don't think it's possible to force Firefox to use a folder other than the system temp folder.)

How can I make folder view the default view when I open Organizer?

I just bought Adobe Elements Photshop and Premier 11. I spent 2 to 3 hours getting my picture video library into Adobe's organizer. I had some problems with duplicate picture (that I wanted to be there - so I had to rename them) and a couple pictures with corrupted metadata. After I got all that sorted out I am a bit miffed about the folder view on Adob'es organizer.
I love that you can switch to folder view - since this is how I have been organizing my pictures for a long time. I would like to continue organizing this way for now until I get a grasp on the other ways I can organize them in elements. However, every time I close and re-open organizer it switches back to the default view instead of folder view. PLEASE tell me that there is a way to set folder view to the default view! HELP!

Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
I am sure it is.
- The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
- The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
- The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content, totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
So yes, the purpose is:
- to speed up switching modes
- to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
- to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs

Hello,
> It coped much better with my Draw documents than the older version
Normally, I have added many functionnalities, retrieving the bitmap, gradient, ... But there remains some problem when a group/frame shares some shapes and a picture or when a shape crosses differents pages, the result can be become bad, ...
> a number of lines missing on page 3
I suspect there are here, ie. if you select in page 3 the big gray square with two ellipses and remove it, there seem to reappear ( I do not know why this square insists to hide the other shapes even when I put it in background, ....)
> the lines are very much thicker than they should be
All objects are thicker than they should be, mainly because I need to create a embedded Odg for each shapes. This will change in LibreOffice 4.3 because we have added in the parent library of libmwaw, functions to create shapes directly ; at least for line, rectangle, ellipse, probably not for other shapes...
> I can add that to my page when it gets out of beta, (Perhaps you could announce it in this forum as it is relevant to AW and I don't want to keep checking the LO website.)
Ok, I will try to add a message when LibreOffice 4.2 will appear ( note: as I only write an extension used in LibreOffice, I also do not keep checking the LO website, I only check now and then that all is working ).

How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

My document is above, if anyone wants to help this crazy teacher invent a better lesson planner.
Here's my predicament. The state in which I teach requires teachers to keep up with which of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) their instruction is addressing and when the standards were addressed. I got the bright idea to do this through a spreadsheet in Numbers because our school is getting iPads this year, so it'd be pretty sweet to be able to assemble all of my lesson plans in one massive spreadsheet. On the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet, I've got a few weeks worth of lesson plans entered in. I'm planning on going in and using the drop-down menu next to each lesson plan to add all the CCSS on a per-day basis. This is simple enough, but here's where I run into a problem.
I want the "AP Standards" sheet to concatenate, in cells D3 through G76, the dates on which a standard was covered. What I need is some way for, say, Cell D3 to look at the table on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and concatenate the dates of every lesson which has the standard in column A (In this instance, RL.11-12.1). At the end of the day, the functionality I need is that I can enter my lessons and CCSS on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and go to the other sheet and see a summary of which standards have been addressed, when, and how often.
If that's as clear as mud, well, I teach literature, not technical writing, so my apologies. I'm more at home with Jonathan Swift than spreadsheets. I'll gladly help you help me if you'd let me know what you need to know. Oh, and to illustrate my knowledge level (just enough to be dangerous), I've left you the formula of my best stab at making cell D3 behave as desired. It's the gray box on the "AP Standards" sheet. Yikes.

Hi Arrdenet,
Congratulations on the nested IFs. I haven't tested that formula, but it is impressive. It will be very difficult to debug if it doesn't work, and I think it would make Numbers very slow.
Here is a different approach. After you enter all the CCSS, add another column with HLOOKUP.
Edit:
B2 (and Fill Down)
A2 (and Fill Down)
=IFERROR(HLOOKUP(A$1,C2:E2,1,0),"")
HLOOKUP looks for the value in A1 in all the CCSS columns.
IFERROR is to stop the error triangles appearing and returns "" (NULL) instead.
Then sort by column A.
Not a complete answer, but it might get you started.
Regards,
Ian.
