How can I organize multiple iWorks documents shared with me via iCloud?

Hi,
I'm just exploring iWorks for iCloud beta (i4ib). A friend shared a Numbers spreadsheet with me via iCloud. I can open it and edit it as expected. So far, so good. The two of us plan to work on several spreadsheets like this over the next two months. Going back to an old email to retrieve the link to each file when we need it "just ain't Apple" if you'll allow me to paraphrase a quote from Happy Feet.
We would like to be able to use iCloud to organize the spreadsheets *someone has shared with us* so we could access them using the same Spreadsheet Manager tool in iCloud that we would use for any other spreadsheets *we have created and stored on iCloud*. So far I haven't been able to discern how to do so and cannot tell if this is a supported use or not. Does anyone know how to do this? Have I just managed to miss it in the hints and help available?
In the mean time I've copied the a link for each of the spreadsheets he shared with me to a folder on my Safari favorites bar. That work around is suitable for very small collaboration exercises but far from optimal for anyone who envisions using iCloud for collaboration on a larger scale. I thought I'd ask the question before I tried to submit this as feedback to Apple.
Regards,
Elise
PS - I used *bold* to emphasize the difference between a spreadsheet I "own" because I created it and one created by someone else and shared with me.

What you want is not yet possible, so you should use the feedback channel to ask Apple to add it. If Googledocs is better at this (I think it is from what I have read), you should make that point.

How can I have multiple WINDOWS (NOT tabs) with INDEPENDENT content?

How can I have multiple '''windows''' (''not ''tabs) with '''independent''' content?
I used to be able to open separate windows with Firefox, and the content could be completely different in each window. No matter what I did in any window, no OTHER window open at the time, nor any of the content therein, was affected. This is no longer the case and it is extremely frustrating for me.
I do ''not ''like tabs and do not use them. I prefer multiple windows plus I am so used to using them, for so many years now! But with v9.0.1 I suddenly can no longer do what I've always done with my browser without this aggravating problem constantly reminding me that I can't have what I want in firefox anymore.
Or can I? Does anyone have a solution I don't realize exists?
Thanks,
Sowelu

AppleScriptObjC can use pretty much everything in the Cocoa API, so yes, it is possible.
Note that a view is not the same as a window, and a window can have multiple views. There are also many ways to implement "tabs"; take a look at some of Apple's applications - they use various mixtures of toolbars, checkboxes, and radio buttons, for example. An application such as this will be a lot more involved than what you have done so far though, using custom classes and subclassing existing ones, so be prepared to do a lot of reading and researching.

How can I tell if my Documents have been stored in iCloud?

How can I tell if my Documents have been stored in iCloud?

It appears that those three options are still Beta and will have stored documents that I intentionally stored there.
I was hoping to determine if my existing data was in the Cloud, much like my contacts, email etc was synched with my phone and now exists in the cloud.

How can I combine multiple Pages documents into one using iPad?

Thank you

How can I see all media others shared with me?

For the first time, somebody shared a photo with me on Ovi. Wow! - Of course, basically it didn't work. I got a text message on my phone saying that:
Ovi by Nokia: friendsnickname has shared a photo with you.
http://share.ovi.com/mobile/media/friendsnickname.%3emynickname/friendsnickname.10003
When I open this link, I am first asked to input username and password (can't this thing remember me?) - and then I get an error message:
You cannot perform this action.
Sorry. We are unable to display this page. Media is required.
So, they sent a link that doesn't work on their own system. Fine.Doesn't matter, I thought, because now that I'm identified, I can sure browse the mediaI've been given access to. Like open my friend's profile from my contacts and see what he shared. Or whatever.
I didn't find a way to do so. There's no link whatsoever that takes me to media he shared.
Meanwhile, he tried sending me an email from within ovi, and it seems this time it works. I can see the image when I click on the link in this email (the link looks totally different from the one in the text message.) - Still, there's no way for me to come back in a few days (when I deleted themail) and say: "Hey, I remember this guy had a funny photo he shared with me. I want to see it again" - Right?
Or how would I do it?
Message Edited by benny1967 on 11-Oct-2009 02:36 PM

Well, the person who shared the image is a contact of mine. He was before he sent me the link(s).
Still, when I click on his nickname from my contacts, I see nothing. (I mean, I see some Info, like when he joined Ovi etc., but then there's only:
Recent media
No items available.
Recent albums
No albums available.
Contacts
No contacts available.
Nothing that would lead me to this photo.
I wish I would be in a management position there, for the forst time in my life I feel I want to fire people. A lot of people.
(I agree aboutmultiselect. How braindead is that? Do they want me to delete/move files one at a time???)

Plz help: how can i index multiple directories including pdfs with oracle text??

problem:
i habe several subdirectories with pdf files which must be indexed by a fulltext index.
.../dir/
sub_dir1/
1.pdf
2.pdf
sub_dir2/
3.pdf
4.pdf
it's possible that other users create new subdirs.
try #1:
i tried to update the FILE_DATASTORE parameter PATH with the concatenated directory list
i.e.: (.../dir/subdir1:.../dir/subdir2:...) and updating the index.
that fails, because the directory string is too long (1637 chars)
try #2:
i set the FILE_DATASTORE PATH parameter to the basedir
i.e.: ('.../dir')
now i generate a list of all pdf's including the subdirectories to store them into
a new table.
i.e.: '12345', 'subdir1/1.pdf'
'23456', 'subdir1/2.pdf'
this one fails, 'cause it seems that the database uses some kind of basename() function to
get the "filename_only" part of the table entry 'subdir1/1.pdf' => '1.pdf'.
so, the db fails to open (and indexing of cause) the file.
how can i solve this prob?
thanks in advance!!!
best regards.

If you need to use multiple directories, you'll need to put the full directory and filename into the table, and not use the PATH attribute at all. PATH only works where all files are in the same directory (though you MAY find you can use more than one directory on certain OS's).

How do I get my Pages documents to my iMac via iCloud?

So I successfully updated my iPhone 4, iPad2 and my iMac. My iPad and iPhone sync flawlessly via the cloud. I need to know how to get those same Pages documents to sync with the iMac via the cloud.
Anyone?
Thanks

"documents in the cloud" is limited to the iOS versions of iwork in its current form.
Put simply : iwork for OSX has no iCloud support.
You can manually open Safari, go to www.icloud.com , log in with your Apple-ID and download the files from the iwork section to your Mac's download folder.
Yes it *****, we know.

How can I share multiple calendars in iCal with several different people?

I need to share multiple calendars created in iCal with all our staff. Do I enter their individual email addresses separated by a semi-colon or a "plus" sign or how. I tried entering all the email addresses with the semi-colon and when I go back to look at sharing, it just shows one email address.

I am assuming that you are referring to a responsive layout that has divisions that reposition themselves according to the width of the client browser window.
Rather than go into a teaching mode on this forum, let me point you to a nifty free Dreamweaver extension that will help you to achieve this. Have a look here http://www.dmxzone.com/go/21759/dmxzone-bootstrap?utm_source=Blog&utm_medium=link&utm_cont ent=DMXzone+Bootstrap+Released…

How can I select multiple cells in tableview with javafx only by mouse?

I have an application with a tableview in javafx and i want to select multiple cells only by mouse (something like the selection which exists in excel).I tried with setOnMouseDragged but i cant'n do something because the selection returns only the cell from where the selection started.Can someone help me?

For mouse drag events to propagate to nodes other than the node in which the drag initiated, you need to activate a "full press-drag-release gesture" by calling startFullDrag(...) on the initial node. (See the Javadocs for MouseEvent and MouseDragEvent for details.) Then you can register for MouseDragEvents on the table cells in order to receive and process those events.
Here's a simple example: the UI is not supposed to be ideal but it will give you the idea.

How can I append multiple parts to NetStream with appendBytes

Hi,
I hope someone can help me.
Problem:
I load a flv file with the FileReference class. After that I append a part of the ByteArray to the NetStream with appendBytes.
Later I want a next part append to the NetStream. It doesn't work.
Is that possible?
Code:
          public function init():void
                myFileRef = new FileReference();
                myFileRef.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, selectFile);
                myFileRef.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playFile);
                myOpenButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,browserForFile);
            private function browserForFile(e:MouseEvent):void
                myFileRef.browse([new FileFilter("Flash-Videos (*.flv)", "*.flv;")]);
            private function selectFile(e:Event):void
                myFileRef.load();
            private function playFile(e:Event):void
                byteArr = myFileRef.data;
                var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
                byteArr.readBytes(bytes, 0, 3031964);
                _netConnection = new NetConnection();
                _netConnection.connect(null);
                ns = new NetStream(_netConnection);
                ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStreamStatusHandler);
                ns.client = new Object();
                display.attachNetStream(ns);
                ns.play(null);
                ns.appendBytes(bytes);
                videoDisplay.addChild(display);
            private function loadNext():void
                var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
                byteArr.readBytes(bytes, 3031964, byteArr.bytesAvailable);
                ns.appendBytes(bytes);

How can I make my photo albums sync between devices via iCloud?

I've recently started using iCloud to sync my iPhone 5 and iPad (original iPad). Problem is: new albums I create on my iPad in Photos are not appearing on my iPhone in Photos.
I thought they were meant to sync automatically but I've waited a week for them to sync and nothing has changed.
I just went into iCloud in my iPhone and did 'Backup Now' and upon completion, it's made no differecne to my missing photo albums.
Photos are turned on in iCloud on both devices.
Is there a way to 'force' iCloud to sync them up?
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Is your phone number checked in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at. If it is selected in there, make sure that nothing else is checked that would cause the phone number to not be used.
Sometimes all that you have to do is to close the app completely and then launch it again and that might jump start the syncing of your messages. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
If all of that is set up properly, you may have to sign out of messages on your devices and start over again. Start with the phone first so that the phone number is accessible to use on the iPad. Maybe this will be of some help.
