HT202879 using latest version of numbers, there is no save as option to save work as excel compatible, why?

using numbers, i need to save my work so it can be opened in excel, is there a save as option that would ensure it is compatible? many thanks

Even though this used to be available from the Save As… dialog, it was really an Export function, and that is where you still find it: File menu > Export… > Excel.
As to the question why, Apple would have to answer that, and they tend not to comment on things like this.

  • HT202879 I have latest version of Numbers (3.1) but when I try to open a Numbers sp. sheet it says I need a newer version.

    The files get info box says to open it with Numbers 3.1 (default).  Other user has no problem opening the file.
    What to do next?

    Hi mwalk,
    Try this.
    Launchpad (second page) Disk Utility
    Or if you can't find it there,
    Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > Storage > Disc Utility
    Select Macintosh HD and Repair Permissions.

    If you mean the drop marker then you can still get the History of the Back and Forward buttons if any by either Left-Click and hold for a second or by Right-Clicking them.
    If you still want the drop mark there also then there is this Extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker/
    Also the abbreviation for Firefox is '''Fx'''

  • I've updated to the latest version of Numbers but there's one file I can't open.  I get an error message "You need a newer versions of Numbers to open this file."  Help!

    I've got an important file I need to access.  I had no trouble on 9/20 and today I am told I need to download the latest version of Numbers, which I'd already done.  I'm not having trouble with any other files.  Help

    Thanks

    Hi Papillon,
    To answer the question in the title of this thread (Do I have the latest version of Numbers?)
    With Numbers open, Menu > Numbers > About Numbers to see the version.
    The latest version is 3.1.
    3.0 was released in November 2013. If you have 3.0 or 3.01, check for updates, because 3.1 has more features than 3.0.

    Ian.

  • [32282.000367] firefox:2114 freeing invalid memtype c02f2000-c0302000 I get this from system log using latest version of Firefox: What kind of problem is this?

    I get this from system log using latest version of Firefox:
    [32282.000367] firefox:2114 freeing invalid memtype c02f2000-c0302000
    What kind of problem is this?
    Anyway Firefox seem to be working correct. I would like to be sure that it'snt a security problem.

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Does the latest version of Numbers have macros?

    Does the latest version of Numbers include the ability to create macros?  Thanks,

    Like any other app on the Mac in Numbers 3.0 you can do basic "GUI scripting" by which you can have AppleScript (placed in an Automator service or workflow or just as a "standalone" AppleScript) do the equivalent of clicking menu items and issuing keyboard commands like command-v and so forth.
    That can be convenient as far as it goes. You can attach the script to a keyboard shortcut and use it, for example, to insert the current date in a cell (something the designers forgot to include as a menu pick in the current version).
    But Numbers 3.0 doesn't have AppleScript support like the old version, where you could get the values from specific cells, do things with them in a macro-like script as powerful as you want to make it, and "push" the results to specified cells.
    Would be nice if they brought that functionality back.

  • Does the latest version of Numbers have anything like Excel's goal seek?

    Does the latest version of Numbers have anything like Excel's goal seek?  I frequently use goal seek to solve non-algebraic equasions for an unknown.  Thanks.

    I went through the installation where the bar shows the percentages downloaded and installed. Once it shows 100% it asks me to click Finish. I do. Then I go to yahoo to check and it continues to show that the plugin is missing and that I need to download Adobe Flash which I thought that I just did. Am I missing something in terms of installing??

    I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
    To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
    Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

  • How do I change page orientation in the latest version of numbers?

    IT seems that each subsequent update of I works removes features that I found VERY helpful in the past. I cannot seem to find a way to format the page in the latest version of numbers.

    In the "Print Setup" mode (after selecting menu item "File > Print..."): you can change the page orientation:
    This will not change how you see things on the screen while it will affect how the content is paginated at print time

  • Tonight opening Numbers caused a free update available box advising me to install the latest version of OS X and then download the latest version of numbers. 'OK' is the only choice. Can't even shutdown. Don't want to lose task or upgrade to Yosemite

    Tonight opening Numbers caused a 'free update available box' advising me to install the latest version of OS X and then download the latest version of numbers. 'OK' is the only choice.
    I can't force quit Numbers or even shutdown the iMac.
    I don't want to lose the spreadsheet (90% completed so far) or upgrade to Yosemite.
    I have OS X 10.9.5 running on a 2014 iMac.
    What to do?
    Thanks.

    NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
    They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.
    *32-bit uninstaller: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_32bit.exe
    *64-bit uninstaller: download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player_64bit.exe

    Can you share any information regarding what you have tried?  To create a new document select the menu item "File > New..."

  • When using time machine with external hardrive to backup, some music items from iTunes and some photos from iPhoto do not transfer to backup hardrive.  What am I ding wrong?  Using latest version of mountain lion.

    When I use time machine with my external harddrive to back up computer, some music from iTunes library, and some photos from iPhoto library are missing when I check backup disk.  I am using latest version of mountain lion.  Am I doing something wrong?

    First, Time Machine doesn't completely back up the iPhoto library while iPhoto is running. Make sure you quit iPhoto after making any changes to allow a backup to take place.
    This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including both overt and hidden exclusions. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.
