How do I get my numbers spreadsheet changes to automatically update idisk version to use on macbook and vice versa without manually doing it?

I am a relatively new APPLE type of guy.
I have a fancy new MACBOOK Pro and a fancy new IPHONE.
I've left the Micosoft world and have decided to embrace iWork.
Was happy to see app release of iwork for iphone - purchased it - and even though spreadsheets on a tiny phone are a bit tough to get used to - i've decided to keep track of my gym work outs on the phone.
So I set up a work-out spreadsheet on my mac - threw it it idisk - and sucked it into numbers on the phone.
So far so good.
Can't seem to figure out though how to have my iphone and mac syncing with any changes to the spreadsheet i make at either end. I have a copy on idisk - and when i save a change on the macbook the change is made to the idisk file - cool - but i can't figure out how when i'm at the gym entering new data - to have that info automatically updating the idisk version.
any ideas?
or am I just a dumb jock thinking that all of this is actually possible with out me continually bringing in new versions of the spreadsheet from idisk into the numbers version on the iphone?
thanks in advance

As far as I know, it's the way hey behave.
Numbers for mac OS is unable to exchange datas with an other file !

How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

How do I get my entire photo stream to my new iPad. I use my ICloud and some of them showed up but most if them did not. I am trying to sync the photos from my phone to an iPad 1 and iPad mini.

Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

How do i get a numbers spreadsheet from my mac to my iphone have the numbers app so

i have a numbers spreadsheet on my macbook and the numbers app on my iphone.How do i get the spreadsheet from the mac onto the app on the phone so it updates through icloud

Not according to Apple.
From the document you referred to:
iCloud makes it easy to move Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents between your computer and your iOS devices. Just sign in to icloud.com/iwork in any modern web browser, and all your iWork for iOS documents will be there — complete with your most recent edits.
Also, according to Ted Landau (emphasis mine):
To convert an iOS-formatted iWork document to a Mac-compatible format and transfer it from iCloud to your Mac, you must download the file from the iCloud website via a web browser.
Which makes the syncing hack he describes in the rest of the article, which I do not recommend, far less useful.

How can I sync my iPhone contacts to my Mac and vice-versa, without losing them? Can i do it with iCloud?

I always add new phone numbers on my iPhone Contacts, while new email addresses are always added on my Mac Contacts. The result is that I dont have my recent email contacts on my phone, while on the Mac I dont have the recent phones.
I would like to have ONE common list of contacts (same for iPhone & Mac) which will be AUTOMATICALLY updated for both, once I add a new entry.
I am not sure how to do this with syncing, I am afraid I wll lose my old contacts. Can I do this with iCloud?

Hello there, Seta.
You are correct that this can be done with iCloud. The following Knowledge Base article provides some great instruction for syncing contacts:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1296
Particularly:
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you to keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
For details on syncing content on your iOS device with your computer, click the sections below.
Contacts
To sync contacts with your computer, choose "Sync Contacts with" within iTunes for Windows, or "Sync Contacts" in OS X v10.8, or "Sync Address Book Contacts" in OS X v10.7 and earlier.
You can sync your contacts with:
Microsoft Outlook 2003, Microsoft Outlook 2007, Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Windows Address Book (Windows XP)
Windows Contacts (Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8)
Address Book (Mac OS X v10.7 and earlier)
Contacts (Mac OS X v10.8)
Microsoft Entourage 2004, Microsoft Entourage 2008, or Microsoft Outlook 2011 for Mac
Notes:
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups. The option to sync selected items may not show up until after the first sync.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
Additional options for syncing include syncing your contacts with Yahoo or Gmail/Google Mail. You will need to configure it with the user name and password for your Yahoo or Google account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

How do i get my numbers spreadsheets back onto my iPad (no iMac)

I recently updated to the latest iOS (7.0.4) and now my numbers app is empty!
I can see the spreadsheets in the iCloud (using iTunes on my PC), but there doesn't seem to be a way to download them without restoring the whole backup.
(it would be nice to be able to drag & drop as i'm used to with my PC...)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Drag it from the EHD to the Pictures Folder...

How do I get my numbers spreadsheet to print as labels?

I am trying to use my numbers data for labels and do not know how to do it?

Here are a couple of techniques posted previously.
This one uses an Applescript, available at the address shown in the message by Yvan Koenig.
See ElViejo1939's post in this thread for a technique using Mail merge to a Pages merge document, then collapsing that document into pages of labels.

How do I get the Numbers application iOS 7.0.4 unstuck updating on iPad 2?

How do I get the Numbers application unstuck in updating on iPad 2? After the last update of iOS 7 it started acting up. Then weeks ago (in November) I opened the application right after iOS 7.0.4 update and while accessing a file it got stuck, some files are white and I can access them. Other files are gray and I can not open them. The application goes white when it first opens up instead of just opening then there is a delay, then it eventually opens. It is stuck updating.
I have tried various things. 1) Rebooting, 2) hard reboot (holding down the off button and home key until the apple icon appears), 3) tried putting it in Airplane mode-reboot-then connect to computer and iTunes-then rebooted. 4) tried opening a file in another application- I get an error message that says : can't open spreadsheet- this spreadsheet is updating, wait for it to finish then try opening. 5) sending spreadsheet- I get an error message that says : this spreadsheet is updating, wait for it to finish then try sending. None of these have worked.
I am at my wits end I use these files for my business and I am self-employed, some files I can't access at all, this is very serious for me. If you know how to fix this please help me. I transferred all of my NECESSARY and IMPORTANT client files to Numbers from Excel, I've been using Numbers successfully for about 1 year.

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?

How may i place a Numbers spreadsheet in an InDesign document?
It's possible?

Hi.
You can import a .xls file.
First, go to Preferences > File handling > check "Create links ... spreadsheet files" in order to be able to update your table when modified in Excel.
Note that you won't be able to get any formatting from Excel file, so you should create a custom table style, along with paragraph and character styles.
While importing your Excel file, check "import options", select "Unformatted Table", and apply your table style.
Of course, no dynamic math operation can be make within InDesign Table, you must do it in your source file, then resave it and update your link.
If you properly used cells, paragraphs and characters styles, the formatting will be preserved when updating link to the spreadsheet.
Don't forget your .xls file is now linked to your indesign file (just like a picture), so don't move or delete it without caution...

How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"? If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad. I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors. Those appear on my iPad. I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad. Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro

How can I get serial numbers or the free versions of Adobe, Air, Flash Player 14, and Reader XI Pro that I had installed on my computer before Microsoft crashed my computer and I had to do a fresh install? I finished reinstalling Win 8.1Pro on my computer thanks to Microsoft Lvl 1 Techies corrupting my Command Structure so nothing would work. I had recently taken a picture of my installed programs (control panel, uninstall programs list) so that I would be able to reinstall everything I needed. I can't seem to find an email for the Reader which I remember paying for, the others I believe were free installs. Can anyone help me out.

5.0.5 is an outdated version of Safari.
There is an update available for Safari for version 5.1.1
That may help.
Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen the click Software Update
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed.
Try full screen ...
If you have problems using Software Update from the menu you can use the standalone installer here > Safari 5.1.1

I am having trouble getting a numbers spreadsheet to hold different formats in the same column. A column with a date formatted heading will not convert to $ for the cells below.   Any suggestions would help.
