How do I add email address to a cell in a Numbers spreadsheet without the appearance automatically changing color and underlining? In Excel, I would add an apostrophe at the beginning which would keep this from happening.

How do I add email addresses in a column without them automatically converting to another color with underscores. I want the text to remain text.

Hi Sclaire,
Numbers > Preferences > Auto correction.
Uncheck the indicated checkbox.
Preferences panel image is from Numbers 2.3.
For future questions, please indicate the versions of Numbers and of OS X you are using, as answers will differe depending on this information.
Regards,
Barry

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

  • Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening?

    Every once in a while, letters stop working on my keyboard. I have to restart to get them to work again. Happens about once a week. Why and how do I keep this from Happening? An example is: I try to type Super Excited and the U, E and P won't work. But once I restart, all the letters work.

    It could be an accumulation of all sorts of bits of info and depending on the last time you cleared the system cache either manually or via a factory reset on that phone you might find a difference there after doing so with many other system caches.
    Clearing the application cache removes temporary files and frees up memory - your personal settings or information remain intact.
    Be sure you clear only the application cache and not the application data.
    From the home screen, tap Apps.
    Scroll to and tap Settings.
    Tap More.
    Tap Application manager.
    Swipe left to view the All tab.
    Scroll to and tap an application.
    Tap Clear cache.
    You've now cleared the application cache.

  • When I do a search (for anything), the browser redirects me to a new page, usually an advertisement. How do I keep this from happening?

    My home page opens just fine. When I type a search topic in the search box, it goes to the list of possible websites. But when I click on any of those choices, the browser is automatically redirecting my to a different page (usually an advertisement). How do I keep this from happening any more? I am extremely frustrated...

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

    Mine doesn't show anything in the CSS Designer panel when I make a selection in Code Vew. It will only pop up the css set for a given element if I select that element in Design View first. If I drill down using the Sources and Selectors sub windows in the CSS Designer panel itself, it works the same in both. I pretty much never use it, but it doesn't do what you're explaining in my version of DWCC, so I'd guess you may have some slight corruption in the program.
    Unless, does it make a difference if you have Live View turned on or not?
    You could try clearing the program cache/personal config folder: Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Or restoring preferences if the cache doesn't do the trick: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html

  • Recordings lost. How do I keep this from happening again?

    OK, so, I recorded a song with my band. Sixteen tracks of guitar, bass, drums, vocals, etc. I had six different versions of the song (various mixes) all saved in separate files like this: SongtitleWorking1; SongtitleWorking2; and so on. Six different working files of the same song, the highest number being the latest version.
    The other day I pulled the bass track from one of the earlier working files and dropped into the most recent worker, then I deleted all the earlier versions. Now, when I open the most recent working mix, that bass line I placed from one of the now-deleted working files can't be found. Gone forever. Totally lame.
    Any ideas on how I can keep this from happening in the future?

    1. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Safari.
    2. You can only restore the whole bookmarks file to a previous state. It's not possible to restore individual bookmarks.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

  • When I am using the browser for a while and try to use ANY search bar and hit the "search" button it does a whopping NOTHING is there anyway of keeping this from happening?

    Whenever I am using Firefox mobile - either regular, beta or aurora and go to search for something like through the Google search page and attempt to search for something the search bar does nothing and hitting the enter button instead doesn't do anything either. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

    Hi and thanks to not leaving the firefox user alone.
    Cor-el your answer is right as the madperson is and I already knew all these
    answer and I said that before I don’t use any antivirus and I always turn off my firewall from the moment I installed my Windows.
    I even turn off any automatic update for any of my software and I never let any unknown plugins or any thing like that be install without informing me. And if you know some things like Offline Storage and cookies must be to much more than usual and you have to clear them and delete them and I know so much more
    And if you want to know it fixed now. But I don’t know how?
    For understanding my problem read and research about Ixplorer.exe virus it is the same problem about the speed but the different is it doesn’t show any process in task manager like Ixplorer.exe virus
    Bt I have done some things but still I don’t know that’s why it is fixed or not
    First: I searched my system and removed any files have been crated on my system from two days ago since the problem happened.
    And then I used to go about the article in this page and did like this:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080910101846AAazxN5
    but still I don’t know any thing about the problem.
    I can do so many things to fix but I am just curios if that is a virus why it just cut the speed when I am using the browser.
    Please if any one found the reason send me your information I like to know it will improve my knowledge however my problem is solved fro now.
