How do I sort part of a column in Numbers for iCloud?

With several sets of data in a single sheet I need to sort a subset of a column and can't see how I do that. It's clear how to sort the entire column but not (at least to me) just a subset of it. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi David,
May I suggest the following workaround for you?
Select the subset you want to sort;
Cut the data to the clipboard (Ctrl + X in Windows, Command + X in Mac);
Create a new table on the same sheet and paste the data (Ctrl + V in Windows, Command + V in Mac);
Sort the data in the (new) table;
Select the data and copy it back to the empty spaces in your first table.
Merry Christmas from South Africa!

How to email a link to a spreadsheet in Numbers for iCloud

I have been trying to figure out how to send a link to a Numbers document in iCloud. The option on the Action menu is always grayed out.... [want to share the document with someone who uses Numbers but obviously does not log in with my Apple ID)...

On the iWork beta that was replaced by icloud.com this summer, you were able to classify a document as private, public or passsword accessible and mail a link.
I guess I must have missed that phase. I think I was testing it well before it went public and never had the link option operational.
I was mainly interested in the foreign language capability and was dismayed to find they had totally botched support for all arabic and indic text (about 1 billion people), which may indicate a certain lack of talent or seriousness devoted to the project....

Use different email address (gmail?) just for FaceTime and Messages.

How do I get photos on my iphone into photostream for icloud?

how do I get photos on my iphone into photostream for icloud?

have you you downloaded the icloud software on your PC? Once it is set up the photos should go from your camera roll to the photostream automatically. Just go search for download icloud in google and install it. You also need to check you have the photostream turned on on your phone. Go to settings, icloud then photostream and check it is turned on.

How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4, 7.1.1 I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts. I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account." I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones. I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account. When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suzanne,
It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
So long,
-Jason

How can i change the apple id on my iphone for icloud?

the iCloud for my new iphone wants to use my old email address and password but i dont remember it. how can i change that.... help!!!!!

It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.

Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
Set up iCloud on your devices

Anyone know how to go to the last active row in Numbers for iOS ? There is no Home or End key on iPad.

Anyone know how to navigate through a spreadsheet in Numbers for iOS on an iPad. Specifically to go to the end of an active file since there is no End key.

see if any of this works for you
On a smaller keyboard, such as the wireless, or on portables, you can use fn- left arrow for home and fn- right arrow for end.
On a Mac, 'home and 'end' take you to the beginning and the end of document, respectively. Getting to the beginning or end of a line is done with cmd- leftarrow and cmd- rightarrow. Emacs shortcuts, such a ctrl-a and ctrl- e also work in most places, where the app is done right.

How do I delete part of a column without deleting the whole column

I'm trying to deleting certain cells within the same column but I don't know how without deleting the entire column. It sounds so simple but I'm sure I'm overlooking something. Thanks.

Bummer! Thought there would be something similar to Excel.
Excel describes this in different terms, and the Excel user goes through a different set of steps, but the reality is that in Excel as in Numbers you are shifting content from one set of cells to another, not 'deleting cells'.
If you were actually 'deleting cells' from rows 2-11 of a column, then shifting all cells right of the deleted cells into the space left by the 'deleted' cells, one of the results would be that at the right edge of the table, rows 2 through 11 would end one column 'earlier' than the rest of the rows (from which 'cells' had NOT been deleted.
Excel: Select the cells whose content is to be replaced, tell Excel to 'delete cells'. Tell Excel which direction to move content to fill the cells. Excel moves that content into the emptied cells.
Numbers (method 1): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Copy. Select the first cell that is to receive the content. Paste.
Numbers (method 1a): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Drag the content to the first cell that is to receive the content. Drop.
Numbers (method 2): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Press shift-command-X (or go Edit > Mark for Move. Select the first cell to receive the content. Press Shift-command-V (or go Edit > Move.

Cannot sort a column in Numbers for iPad

I have a Numbers IOS spreadsheet on my iPad which contains 6 worsheets. I can sort the columns in all but one worksheet. In the problem worsheet, when I tap on the grey bar above any column, the menu that appears excludes the "Sort" option. What is wrong?

Generally, you are more likely to get an answer if you post in the iWork for iOS forum at

How do I resize the column in numbers for the iPad

Hi, I have numbers app in my iPad and I can't figure out how to resize the columns. There are no column headers when I create a new spreadsheet, and I can't click between the columns and even when I turn wrap text off it doesn't resize just overlay.
I hope there has to be a way that I just can't figure out as it seems like a very simple task that should be obvious.
Karena

Tap on any cell in a table to bring up the table options. You'll see two bars above and to the left of the table. There is a dot in a circle on the top left, and two toggles to increase/decrease the number of rows or columns. To change the width of a column, tap in the bar above the table in the column which you want to resize, and that column will become highlighted. From here you can select multiple columns using the handles to resize multiple columns at once. In the bar at the top, there are two little dashes - drag this left and right to resize the column.

How can I sort photos by date taken in Photos for OS X

Photos sort by Moments, which seems badly broken - photos from one date and location end up in multiple moments, while one moment can have photos from multiple dates and locations. Photos are not in date/time order.
Photos under Albums sort by date/time of import - useless.
How can I see my photos sorted by date/time taken?

I'd like this feature as well. I tend to browse my photos by date in Aperture, but on ios thay always appear in some bizzare random order.
I've tried several workarounds but with no luck. As metadata is present, surely this should be simple...

How can I sort the sequence of my photos on the icloud?

Hi, I would like to change the sequence of the photos uploaded to the icloud but can't figure out a way to do this. How can I do this?

If you have a passcode the thief can't access your data. After restoring all data will get deleted - and if you had iOS 7 Activation Lock is on means the thief can't use it.

Format column in Numbers for zip code

how do I get a leading zero for zip codes??

start by selecting the cell(s) yu want to format, then go to the Format menu and choose Create Custom Cell Format:
In the dialogue that opens:
Edit the name to reflect the use to which this format will be placed.
Leave the type as Numbers & Text
Note the example (orange circle) showing how a number will appear under the curent format.
Click the white triangle (see arrow) in the Integer tablet (red circle) to open the options menu.
Take three trips to the options menu:
Choose Hide Separator
Choose Show Zeros for Unused Digits
Choose Add Digit
Click OK to return to the document.
Note that this will work for the original five digit Zip codes. Extended five-four codes will be treated as text, as can be seen in the image above. and will not sort correctly (see column D of left table below). For correct sorting, format the column as text and enter the Zip codes including the leading zeros, as has been done in the single column on the right (before the column was sorted into the displayed order).

How to set up 2 people to share an iPad, for iCloud email and contacts

A family of two, each with their own MacBook, own iPhones, but sharing one iPad on trips, all with latest OS. Currently using Apple Mail with links to separate gmail accounts and all is working as we prefer. But want to switch to icloud email accounts. Want separate email to continue on MacBooks and iPhones, but to display both individual email addresses on iPad. Can't figure out how to have two iCloud email accounts display in Mail without commingling in the inbox. Family Share does not seem to support this, nor sharing of Contacts. If the only way is to have person #2 get a separate Apple ID then contacts would not be shared which is messy to keep current, and then how would the iPad handle two ID's?

It's always best to have seperate IDs.
YOu can enter a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts and calendars and select which services you want switched on. Note some services, such as photos and document syncing are only available to the primary account.

The problem is that your Flash Player is not current. Check this to see what the current version is (vs what you have) and here to get the latest version. There is supposed to be a major security issue in the version you've got so Apple is blocking its use. In any case, don't get Flash Player from anywhere except Adobe.
