How do I unlock numbers files that are in my public shared folder?

Hello all,
I've been trying to access a file on my wife's shared folder and she's added me to the sharing and permission list on the file and on the server.
Can someone please give me a hint on how to unlock this file so we can use the versions feature of "numbers"?
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the versions feature is not shared on networks.
The datas are stored locally.
Assuming that you boot from the HD named "madamal's HD", the versions datas are stored in the folder :
"madamal's HD:.DocumentRevisions-V100", not on the network.
The period at the beginning of the folder's name is used to hide it.
Trying to share an iWork generated document thru a network is playing with matches.
The iWork apps aren't designed for that.
If your wife work on a document when you are also working on it, there is no provision to arbitrate between the changes introduced by the two users. Very efficient way to destroy the document.

10.6.4: how to unlock all files in a folder

hi,
how do you unlock all files inside a folder?
thank you..

thank you.. (I wonder why you can't just do it by getting info on the folder, then saying, unlock all files inside.. (u can do like that in windows) this is always more practical than having to select all files (and accidentally opening them, or something...-) in windows you can select a folder and then say, (un)lock all files and and dirs -- and subdirs and files inside -- inside this folder.. can u do something like this in mac os? if not, that's not very good.. (I guess on the mac would need to find unix commands for doing something like this..)
they really need to consider this for future versions, this is a no-brainer...;-)
thank you..

How manage two numbers files in the same screen to compare data

Hello,
I have two - 2 numbers files that I want to compare data between them in the same screen, How can I do that? Like in Excel you can compare two differente files in the same screen with the option windows cascade or something like that.
Please Help Me.....

First, turn off the abomination that is called "Full Screen" -- ported from the iPhone, land of tiny screens and single tasks.
Then resize the first window to take up half the screen and place it on the left. Open the second spreadsheet and resize its window and place it on the right.
Compare.

How to convert Numbers files to pdf

Hi. I have a large number of Numbers documents I want to give to my book-keeper. She doesn't use a Mac, so she can't use Numbers files. I want to convert them to PDF so she can view them.
I've been converting them manually. This is what I do:
1) Open the Numbers file.
2) Choose Print.
3) Select "All Sheets". This is important because I have 5 sheets in each document.
4) Choose "Save as PDF".
5) The default name is fine, so press OK.
6) Close the Numbers file.
I have hundreds of these files. Is there a way I can automate the process of converting them?
Thanks for the help!

Hello
You may try the following script. It will ask you to choose folder where Numbers files reside and then export every Numbers file in the chosen folder as PDF. Export destination folder will be the last folder you used for export. So you'd better export one file in advance and select the export destination folder you want to use. It will replace existing pdf file in destination folder.
Menu text are assumed in English and hard coded in script. For languages other than English, please edit the following three properties in export_as_pdf() handler:
property export_menu : "Export…"
property image_quality : "Good" -- Good | Better | Best
property layout : "Sheet View" -- Sheet View | Page View
The first one is menu item name of File > Export… (note … is U+2026 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS, which can be inputted by option ; in English keyboard for instance) and the rest are for options in Export sheet.
Tested with Numbers 2.0.5 under OSX 10.6.5.
Hope this may help,

How do i unlock numbers files

All files in Numbers (Apples Excel) are locked. I think it's because of 10.7.
Help

I already saw messages describing this behavior but I am unable to reproduce it.
How were you installing Lion ?
I installed it on a HD which I formatted before the installation, not on one where Snow Leopard was already installed.
It may be a problem when Lion use some properties defined in Snow structures.
Try to change the attributes of the files thru the infos window.

How to save .Numbers file on Tiger. It is so confusing

On my MacBook Pro using Numbers I in Tiger. It is confusing . What is happening?

Whenever you create files, it is advisable to create using relative directory structure.
You have not explained how you are compiling your program. If you use ant to compile, you have an option to specify a relative path.
For example you say /project/first
and whatever files you create will start getting created under first.
Anyway your solution lies in using relative path to your programs, rather than absolute path..
Hope it helps

SG300-28 How update boot from file rfb - version 1.3.5.06

I download to my switch SG300-28 new firmware version 1.3.5.58 I package zip i found two file:
sx300_fw-13558.ros - this is the firmware
sx300_boot-13506.rfb this is the boot code
I upgrade firmware by WEBGUI swicth. ADMINISTRATION>FILE MANAGEMENT>UPGRADE/BACKUP FIRMWARE/LANGUAGE
But i dont know how i can upgrade BOOT from WEBGUI or other... Please help me a tell my how-step by step.

Hello.-
After reading release notes and some experiences in this forum, I am really worried about upgrading a SG300 firmware 1.1.2.0 to version 1.3.5.58. Release Notes points out that you have to update the boot loader before the firmware. However some users report that they had to reconfigure the switche after the upgrade.
My concern are.
- Is it necesary to boot the switche after upgrading the boot loader ?. This is not going to be a problem with the old firmware?.
- Can I apply the confirguration backup after the firmware upgrade or is necesary to reset to factory default and do it from scratch ?.
Thanks.

Unlocked Numbers file shown as locked on shared account

I am trying to facilitate a shared access to a Numbers spreadsheet for two people to be able to update content. It is unlocked and placed in the Public folder with read & write access for the specific user.
However, in trying to update the file in the shared account, a dialogue box appears AS IF the file were locked, offering the choice to unlock or duplicate. Selecting unlock does not work, leaving only an option to duplicate. As mentioned, this file is NOT locked--but Mavericks will not permit editing from the shared account.
Can anyone suggest a fix?

A Numbers document may contain 255 sheets (or 256 ?).
Each sheet may contain 255 tables (or 256 ?).
A formula in table T1 of sheet S1 may grab an info from table T2 of sheet S2.
The only problem would be the speed.

How to open a file in Version 8.0CS with Version 9.0CC?

Here is the error message I get.
"Cannot open "Chapter 2.indd" because it was saved with a newer version of Adobe InDesign (CS.8.0).
You must use that version or later to open the file. To then enable it to be opened in this version, choose Save As InDesign CS4 or later, or export to IDML."
It doesn't make sense.
Mary

It means that the person who created the file was using InDesign CC or InDesign CC 2014. They (or someone else who can open the file in those programs) needs to save the file as IDML and send you the IDML file. You can open the IDML file in your version of InDesign.

How To Unlock Older Files in 10.6?

We find that certain of our previously locked files can't seem to be unlocked since we installed 10.6. In the Info window, the "Locked" checkbox is greyed out and inactive. Unlocking the "lock" icon at the lower right of the Info box with our password doesn't help either. Any help will be most appreciated, with many thanks in advance. -jv

You may not have permissions to modify the file, so you can't unlock it either. To fix the permissions, select a file that you have full access to, choose File -> Get Info, then do the same with a file you don't have full access to, and then make sure that the Sharing & Permissions section is the same for both.
If that's not the problem, try opening the Terminal and typing "chflags nouchg " (without the quotes and including the space at the end). Then drag a locked file onto the Terminal window. Press return in the Terminal to execute the command. If that fails, try doing the same thing, but type "sudo chflags nouchg " instead, and then type your password when asked. (Note that you won't see anything when you type it.)

Can't open old numbers files in version 3.5

some old files can't be openen with the updated Numbers.
Foutmelding:
'index.numbers' kan niet worden geopend.'

UPDATE & WORKAROUND:
Ok, i found a way to at least see the spreadsheet. Change the file extension to .zip and it'll bring up a few files in Finder. Mine came up as INDEX. I was able to do a Quick Look on the file and it shows my spreadsheet.
I'll have to re-enter the info into a new spreadsheet, but at least I was able to see my data.
I'll be using Google Docs from now on. What a hassle?!
