How can I restore table rows to their original, unsorted order?

I understand that I could've manually created an "Order" column of sequential numbers and then sort by that.
What I'm looking for is an "unsort" that restores rows to the (manual) order they were in before any sorting was applied.
(Or does Numbers '09 permanently replace the pre-sorted order? That'd be a bit ...err ...'80s.) ;-]

Thanks Jerry,
Seems I assumed that sorting in Numbers '09 merely applied a reversible "view", much as its Insert Categories function does.
For a Sheet with hundreds of rows, then, how would I apply the original order from a backup to the current edited, sorted rows?
Or are we meant to manually locate and then drag each and every one of the hundreds of rows back to its original order? (That's about 6 hours or more of the unpleasant manual work that computers are supposed to do for us!)
It's unfortunate that you made a false assumption about the sort feature. Numbers does indeed move the rows about as does every other spreadsheet app I've used.
I wonder if there is anything in your data that you could sort on that would get you close to the original order. If you know how you would move the rows about, could you express that as a rule? If there's nothing in the data that is correlated to the order of the rows, then the order of the rows may not be extremely significant.

How can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without doing the restore through iTunes? He can't remember his passcode and when I try to restore through iTunes it never completes the update/restore without timing out?!?!

HOw can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without going through iTunes restore? When I plug into iTunes it will never complete the update/restore without timing out? He can't remember his password. I can't get my iTunes to update to the newest level either without timing out. Please help!

The thread title differs from the original post, sorry for the confusion. I read password instead of passcode.
The only way past a passcode lock is by entering the passcode. Refer to HT1212 iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen:
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
As for timing out during the restore...
If there isn't any antivirus or firewalls in the way, I would try restoring from a different user account or even a different computer. If still unable to restore without timing out, I would try a different network.

How can I export table row in internet explorer?

I need to export a single table row on a website and I can't figure out how to do it. The source view for the row I need is:
tr class="alt">
<td id="16ZwhxLjCN8fafA8wuYEnMFtGJGrFy6qcE">16ZwhxLjCN8fafA8wuYEnMFtGJGrFy6qcE</td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td>0.00065227</td>
<td>0.01233629</td>
<td>0.00371003</td>
</tr>I can get the table ID using the code below, but I don't know how to get the rest of the values. The table ID does not change but the numerical values do.$ie = New-Object -com InternetExplorer.Application
$ie.silent = $false
$ie.navigate2("mywebsite.com")
$ie.Document.getElementById("16ZwhxLjCN8fafA8wuYEnMFtGJGrFy6qcE")

Hi Tom,
this may not be quite the perfect solution, but it works for me at least. I'm not using the IE ComObject, but rather the .NET Webclient for it ...
# Load downloader function
function Get-WebContent
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Downloads a file
.DESCRIPTION
Download any file using a valid weblink and either store it locally or return its content
.PARAMETER webLink
The full link to the file (Example: "http://www.example.com/files/examplefile.dat"). Adds "http://" if webLink starts with "www".
.PARAMETER destination
The target where you want to store the file, including the filename (Example: "C:\Example\examplefile.dat"). Folder needs not exist but path must be valid. Optional.
.PARAMETER getContent
Switch that controls whether the function returns the file content.
.EXAMPLE
Get-WebContent -webLink "http://www.technet.com" -destination "C:\Example\technet.html"
This will download the technet website and store it as a html file to the target location
.EXAMPLE
Get-WebContent -webLink "www.technet.com" -getContent
This will download the technet website and return its content (as a string)
#>
Param(
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true,Position="0")]
[Alias('from')]
[string]
$WebLink,
[Parameter(Position="1")]
[Alias('to')]
[string]
$Destination,
[Alias('grab')]
[switch]
$GetContent
# Correct WebLink for typical errors
if ($webLink.StartsWith("www") -or $webLink.StartsWith("WWW")){$webLink = "http://" + $webLink}
$webclient = New-Object Net.Webclient
$file = $webclient.DownloadString($webLink)
if ($destination -ne "")
try {Set-Content -Path $destination -Value $file -Force}
catch {}
if ($getContent){return $file}
# Download website
$website = Get-WebContent -WebLink "http://www.mywebsite.com" -GetContent
# Cut away everything before the relevant part
$string = $website.SubString($website.IndexOf('<td id="16ZwhxLjCN8fafA8wuYEnMFtGJGrFy6qcE">'))
# Cut away everything after the row
$string = $string.SubString(0,$string.IndexOf('</tr>'))
# Split the string into each individual line
$lines = $string.Split("`n")
# Prepareing result variable
$results = @()
# For each line, cut away the clutter
foreach ($line in $lines)
$temp = $line.SubString(4,($line.length - 10))
# for the first line, the td has an id, which this compensates for
if ($temp -like 'id="16ZwhxLjCN8fafA8wuYEnMFtGJGrFy6qcE">*'){$temp = $temp.SubString(($temp.IndexOf(">") + 1))}
# Add cleaned line to results
$results += $temp
You may need to adapt the string parsing beneath the function, if the text you posted is not literally identical to the way this function returns it. It worked for a string block acquired via copy&paste from your post anyway. :)
I certainly would be more than happy to read a more elegant version, if someone has one to offer.
Cheers,
Fred

How can reference one table row? Thanks!

Hi, everybody:
I want to create table that one column reference another table row, for example:
CREATE TABLE tab1 (...);
CREATE TABLE tab2 (id ..., tmp tab1%ROWTYPE, ...);
but display error message:
ORA-00911: Invalid character
that point the "%".
Thanks very much!

In Oracle, you can use the %TYPE and %ROWTYPE attributes only in PL/SQL code, not in SQL DDL statements.
But you can use them in CREATE TYPE statements.

How can I have images open in their original applications from Links panel?

Before I switched to my new Mac, I was able to open files in their original applications when I clicked the Edit Original button at the bottom of the Links panel. But now everything—TIFF, EPS and PDF—opens in Preview because that's the default application set to open any link files and it's really frustrating. How can I change it so I can open Photoshop files in Photoshop, EPS files in Illustrator and PDF files in Acrobat. I know I can always go to the drop down menu to choose Edit With...and choose an application but I'm so used to clicking the Edit Original button.

in finder/ not ID... right click on a file eg tiff: get info: open with: select PS,

How can I restore mac pro back to original with snow leopard

I want to restore my macpro back to original, I dont have restore disk, just snow leopard disk. How can I do this? Thanks

A nice phone call to Apple usually results in a replacement disk being sent to you.
I understand your intention is to give this computer away. If you were selling it, not having the original install disks dramatically lowers its value.

You need to contact Apple Customer Service about purchasing replacement discs for the computer. You have posted in the PPC forum, so I assume you do not have an Intel Mac, but since you haven't stated what you have we simply don't know enough to assist you.

How Can I restore my mac without the original software disks?

Hi I have a preowned macbook pro that i got from a friend. I would like to restore the computer back to its original settings because it is asking me for user passwords when i go to install something and the old owner does not remember the password. I do not have the disks the computer came with. Is there any other option to restoring the computer back to its original settings without the disks? I am still trying to figure out the mac "world" so may not be aware of all settings.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
First, open "System Information" app or "System Profiler", and copy "Model Identifier", and copy it here. I'm not completely sure if you have a MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Instead of reinstalling OS X, first try resetting the user password. To do it, open  > About this Mac, and see "Version". If it's 10.7 or 10.8, follow these steps > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101 If it's 10.6 or older, you need the DVDs, so call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After doing that, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator user for you

When my photos were moved from iPhoto to Photos in the last system upgrade, they lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

In the latest Yosemite upgrade, my photos were migrated from iPhotos to Photos and lost all their titles. How can I restore them?

There is an Applescript, File Name to Title, provided by user léonie that will put the file name of any selected photos into the Title field for that photo. If there already is a title in that field under the thumbnail it will not replace it with the file name.
tell application "Photos"
activate
set imageSel to (get selection) -- get a list of selected images
set counter to 1
set currentfilename to ""
if imageSel is {} then
error "Please select an image."
else
repeat with im in imageSel
set title to the name of im
if not (exists (title)) then
set currentfilename to the filename of im as text -- retrieve the filename of image "Im"
set newname to currentfilename & "." & counter
set counter to counter + 1 -- increment the counter
set the name of im to newname -- write the newname to the title field
end if
end repeat
end if
return currentfilename -- return the filename of the last image
end tell
Copy the script above, open Applescript Editor and past it into the open window. Compile and save as an Applescript application. Put the app in the Applications folder and drag into the Dock. Now you can select images in Photos and launch the app from the Dock and it will do it's thing. It is a bit slow so can take some time for a large number of images depending on the speed of your Mac.
Just to be on the safe side create an album with a few titled and untitled photos and run it on them.

How can I use table headers only without using rows.

how can I use table headers only, without using rows and without leaving the space.
If anyone could say me how to paste the pic in this questions, I would have shown it.
The flow of view is in this way
{Table header(table on top of table)
column header1___|| column header2__ || column header3__ ||}
<b>Here is the blank space I am getting, How to avoid this space?this space is of one table row height</b>
{Contents column1 || Contents column2 || Contents column3 || (This is of other table below the uper table)}
I am using scroll for the content part of table only.
So I am using two tables.
I am using NW04.

I did the possibles you explained, but couldn't get rid off the space.
Any other solutions?
I am keeping the header static and the content columns scrollable.
I have used two tables one to display header above and the other to display only the contents.
I have put the contents table in scroll container.
And the header table in transperent container.
Thanks and Regards,
Hanif Kukkalli
