How do I get Numbers Spreadsheet to synch between Macs on iCloud?

I have a family budget created on Numbers. It is mostly stored on the home iMac but I look at it or change it from my MBP on occassion. I have been doing this via share screen, but am now trying to set it up on iCloud so I change it on one mac and it shows up on the other one in the updated version. I have put the document on iCloud, but if I change it on one Mac, it doesn't change the iCloud version, and the one on the other Mac remains unchanged. I thought this was supposed to happen automatically. I am using Numbers v2.2. Am I able to do what I want as described? If so, what am I doing wrong?

Renee Notes from the iPhone absolutely do sync with the iPad. The problem is that Notes is probably configured to use a gmail (or other) account for Notes by default.
When you open Notes in the iphone there is an 'Accounts' button. Tap it and see where it takes you.
I see 3 entries on my wife's iphone. "All Notes", "GMail" and "iCloud".
Hit the "Home" button and go to "Settings" -> "Notes" -> "Default Account"
You should see the option for "iCloud" there. Select it and any new notes will be created in the iCloud account and therefore sync to the iPad.
I only found all this out while trying to see why my wife's iphone wasn't syncing back to the iPad myself. So i thought I'd help a fellow in need :-) Hope this helps.

How do I get numbers spreadsheets to open at the last entry?

I work with Numbers spreadsheets often and find it very frustrating that on opening a document it opens at the top rather than at the last place of entry. My frustration is that some of the spreadsheets I work with are fairly long and require me to then scroll down a long way to pick up the spot I want to work in. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi Barry,
the view scale bug was on the list for an early fix
Fixed in the latest update (Numbers 3.0.1)
Numbers > Preferences > General > Default Zoom:
And it sticks with a document after Save . Reopen shows the Saved view.

How do I get sent webmail to synch across Mac and iPhone?

Hello,
If I compose a message on my iMac, it will not appear in the webmail's sent mailbox on my iphone. The reverse is true too: if I compose a message on my iPhone, it will not appear in my iMac's webmail sent mailbox.
I have successfully set up all my webmail accounts on my iMac's Mail as IMAP. I can see sent messages I compose on my iMac in the sent mail folder (I configured the sent mail folder by going to Mailboxes and selecting "Use this Mailbox As" => Sent). I did the same thing for my iphone and can easily find sent webmail messages I composed on my iphone too. On both my iPhone and iMac, I have opted to use Mail's Sent Mail folder and not the webmail's sent folders. I have checked, and all sent messages are displayed in Mail's Sent Mailbox option. This is not a gmail account, it is a webmail service provided by my hosting company, Inmotion Hosting. The only issue is that sent mail does not seem to be synching across device. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hello Arthur. I am sorry in the I probably wasn't too clear. Actually no, the MBP was not restored. These mailboxes, or accounts, were added. I was to start using my own site rather than yahoo, gmail etc. So I made up several accounts as I can have unlimited mailboxes on my site. I decided to have boxes that classified who the mail is coming from so when a family member writed to me they use an address [email protected] When a friend writed the are told my email address is [email protected] When my doctor or health insurance need to communicate with me the write to [email protected]..and on.
So I added 10 POP accounts with names following the convention I just outlined. I am trying to see if there is a way that they will automatically appear on my othr devices without having to create the same 10 mailboxes/accounts on myu iPad and iPhone. As I said, I don't remember have to create the old mailboxes on all three devises....just on the MBP.
I hope this makes it clearer.
Thanks.

How do I get contact from"All on My Mac" into iCloud?

hi, I'm trying to get the contacts from "All on My Mac" moved to "all iCloud" if i go to my pref's they want me to merge "All on My Mac" with my gmail! For the love of God...I dont want google anywhere near my contacts... There must be a better way. PLEASE, ANYONE...HELP!

hi, me again...
nope, not clicking the down arrow. I have been getting a rediculous amount of junk emails, as i was cleaning up my address book i notices many of the same "junk" email addresses in there with bogus names.

any of this help you to help me?

HOW DO I GET NUMBERS TO DO WHAT I WANT?

HELP PLEASE:
I FIND NUMBERS CONFUSING. THE OLD WORKS SPREADSHEETS WERE SO MUCH EASIER/SIMPLER.
I CAN’T SEEM TO GET THE FORMULAS & FUNCTIONS ENTERED CORRECTLY.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY MEAN “PRESERVE ROW” OR “PRESERVE COLUMN”.. SO DON’T KNOW IF I NEED TO CHECK
ONE OF THEM OR NOT…AMONG OTHER THINGS.
I’M TRYING TO MAKE A SPREADSHEET FOR TWO INVESTMENT ACCTS.
ONE HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF STOCKS IN IT.
THE SECOND HAS ONLY A FEW STOCKS BUT THEY ARE THE SAME STOCKS WHICH ARE IN THE FIRST ACCT. AS WELL.
THAT MEANS MOST OF THE CELLS IN COLUMNS F & G (BELOW) WILL BE EMPTY.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF MY EXAMPLE:
“A ACCT“ WILL SHOW ONLY 4 STOCKS & “B ACCT” WILL HAVE ONLY 2 STOCKS. I THINK THAT’S ENOUGH FOR YOU
TO SEE WHAT I’M ATTEMPTING TO DO.
LETS SAY THE COLUMN HEADINGS ARE:
A                 B                          C                D                  E                             F                 G                           H
SYM       DESCRIPTION       A ACCT#SH     CLOSE    A ACCT TTL VALUE     B ACCT#SH   B ACCT TTL VALUE   ACCTS A&B TTL
I WANT TO MULTIPLY ACROSS EACH ROW      THE # SH    TIMES    THE CLOSE — TWICE
COL C TIMES D SHOULD EQUAL E
COL F TIMES D SHOULD EQUAL G
THEN I’D LIKE TO ADD E + G AND HAVE THEIR TOTALS ENTERED IN COL H IN EACH ROW.
ONCE ALL THAT’S DONE, I’D LIKE COL. E TOTALED, COLUMN G TOTALED AND COL H TOTALED.
FOR EXAMPLE:
     A             B                         C                 D                  E                          F                        G                         H
1. SYM    DESCRIPTION       A ACCT#SH     CLOSE    A ACCT TTL VALUE     B ACCT#SH   B ACCT TTL VALUE    ACCTS A&B TTL
2. XYZ     XYZ STOCK               200             25.00           $5,000.00              150                  $3,750.00           $8,750.00
3. STU     STU STOCK               100             10.00           $1,000.00
4. PQR     PQR STOCK               500             20.00         $10,000.00             100                   $2,000.00         $12,000.00
5. MNO    MNO STOCK              100             12.75           $1,275.00
                                                                                =SUM (E2:E5)                               =SUM (G2:G5)      =SUM (H2:H5)
I THINK I KNOW HOW TO WRITE THE FORMULAS TO TOTAL THE COLUMNS. I CHOOSE “EDIT FORMULA” UNDER “FUNCTION” AT
THE TOP OF THE SPREADSHEET AND WRITE AS I’VE SHOWN ABOVE IN AN EMPTY CELL AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH COLUMN.
IS THIS CORRECT?
WHAT I HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT IS HOW TO GET THE MULTIPLICATION DONE ACROSS THE ROWS OR THE ADDITION FOR COL. H
I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE FORMULAS SHOULD BE BUT DON’T KNOW HOW TO GET THEM ENTERED OR WHERE….
I’M DOING SOMETHING WRONG BECAUSE I GET ONLY ONE NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM OF COLUMN E INSTEAD OF MULTIPLYING
ACROSS, THEN TOTALING THE COLUMNS
I THINK THOSE FORMULAS SHOULD BE:
COL E SHOULD BE:   =PRODUCT(C,D)         AND   COLUMN G SHOULD BE: =PRODUCT(D,F )        AND COL H SHOULD BE: =SUM(E,G)
CORRECT? IF NOT PLEASE ADVISE WHAT THEY SHOULD BE.
IF MY FORMULAS ARE CORRECT, HOW DO I GET NUMBERS TO DO IT? PLEASE PRETEND YOU’RE SPEAKING TO A 5 YR OLD…..
I’D SAY 1O YR OLD BUT THEY MAY BE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THE VOCABULARY AND HOW TO DO THIS THAN I AM.
THANK YOU.

It's incredibly hard to read a post when it's in ALL CAPS.
But the answer to your question is copy and paste. When you have a cell that contains a formula, and you copy and paste it into another cell, firstly, the formula gets pasted, not the value, and second, the formula uses relative cell values. What that means is, if your formula in E2 is C2 * D2, and you copy and paste that cell value into E3, it will by default become C3 * D3. (You CAN change a formula to use absolute cell values if it suits your spreadsheet - when you edit the formula, the drop down for each cell number includes a value like $C2 which will not change when you paste it into a lower row.)
by the way, it's usually faster just to use the equals sign when you enter a formula in a cell. eg, click into E2, press equals to start the formula, click into C2 to make that the first cell in the formula, type "*", then click into D2 and click the green tick to confirm the formula.

I am trying to average multiple cells including some blank cells. How do I get numbers to assess a blank cell as zero and include that cell in the average?

I am trying to average multiple cells including some blank cells. How do I get numbers to assess a blank cell as zero and include that cell in the average?

Hi rkcfizzle,
Blanks
Blanks = 0
1
1
2
2
0
3
3
2
1.5
AVERAGE ignores blank cells (Column A)
Formula in Footer Cell A6
=AVERAGE(A)
If you want to include blank cells as zero, type this formula in B2 (and Fill Down)
=IF(A2<>0,A2,0)
Numbers 3 will change the formula to
=IF(A2≠0,A2,0)
Yeah, right! but that is Numbers 3.
And the answer (6/4) is 1.5. Correct!

Ian.

How do I get my iPad to synch with my new computer? It keeps referring to my old computer.

How do I get my iPad to synch with my new computer? It keeps referring to my old computer.

IMO - and we are all entitled to our own opinions - I prefer to use iTunes. Heaven forbid if Apples servers ever go down - there will be mass hysteria and I have seen too many cases of "I just tried to restore from my iCloud backup and it have 8 gazillion app icons on the screen that say "waiting" - but once again - this is only my opinion.
And if you lose your Internet connection in the middle of an iCloud restore - what then? Nobody thinks of that kind of stuff - but hey - that's what makes this whole exchange of ideas so wonderful. We can all express our own opinions .... but that does not help you solve your situation.
What exactly is happening when you try to sync with iTunes? Maybe somebody can offer help instead of just useless opinions that do nothing to resolve your situation.

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

Hi Dd,
If you want the next date automaitcally filled in when you add a row to the bottom of the table, you can use a formula.
Here's an example, done in Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09). The method is basically the same in Numbers 3.
Formulas in row 3:
B3: =B2+1
C3: =C2+7
D3: =D2+14
These have been filled down to the last row of the table.
The same table is shown below after three rows have been added by dragging the Row control handle (below the tab for row 7) down. No changes other than adding thse three rows were made by the user.
Note that rows 1 and 2 are header rows, and that row 2 contains the starting date for the seraies of date in each column. In the formula, the number at the end tells Numbers how many days to add to the previous date to get the next date.
Autofill of the formula requires that every non-header cell located above the cell into which the formula is to be filled contains the same formula.
Regards,
Barry

Do you have iTunes Match?
If so, when does your subscription expire? There have recently been a fair number of problems with the early adopters of iTunes Match having problems as iTM attempts to auto-renew the subscription. Fixing this requires actual involvement of an Apple Tech Support person.
What you're describing was exactly the behavior I experienced when Apple mistakenly cut off my iTM account last weekend.

HT3423 My iMac came with logic Express 8 installed, how do I get it to work on my mac book pro

My iMac came with Logic Express 8 Pre installed. How do I get it to work on my Mac Book Pro

Along with your OS and applications installation DVDs, you should have gotten an LE8 installation DVD along with its manual and serial numbers when you bought your iMac.
Your license allows you to install LE8 on two computers as long as they are your computers, you are the sole user, and you do not run Logic on both simultaneously. So dig out your installation DVD, install it on your MacBook Pro and enter your serial number and you will be good to go.

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
"Sorry, something went wrong.
This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
Thanks.
