  • I cannot open any spreadsheets on my iPad

    I cannot open any spreadsheets in Numbers on my iPad.  I can create new spreadsheets.  If I try to delete a spreadsheet I get a message that I have to wait for the spreadsheet to finish updating.  This has been going on for a few days now.  Does anybody know how to fix this.  I have thought maybe if I uninstalled and reinstalled Numbers, but I dont want to lose the spreadsheets that I have.

    Try clearing Safari, close all apps on the iPad, reset the iPad and then try everything again.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data.
    In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT3350 what can you do when you get this warning? "Scouting Book  Collection Index" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "Numbers Document" format.

    “Scouting Book  Collection Index” could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the “Numbers Document” format.

    This file was created in 2002 in MSword but this had been forgotten.
    When I went to open it.... (MSword) was not a program option on my laptop. For some reason, I assumed that either Pages or Numbers wouild open the file. How the file was created was forgotten and had no file Info, but I new that it was a table of valuable information.
    The warning threw me off, because it led me to believe that it was a Numbers file. which Numbers would not open. A paradox.
    I took the file to a laptop in OSXpanther with MSoffice and it opened in MSword. Problem Solved.
    Thank you for your help.

  • I can't open a spreadsheet on numbers

    I can't open a spreadsheet on Numbers.

    I did all the things you mentioned but none has helped...
    The others spreadsheets opens normally so I think I'll have to start another one...

  • Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad).

    Numbers cannot open an excel file (in my ipad) sent from an email. I get this message: "the document can't be opened because it contains cells outside the boundaries of Numbers"...what this means?

    If you have Numbers for the iPad, that will be one of the options to open in (besides, or from, Quick Look) if you don't have one of the PDF  / printing apps. Numbers handles Excel files quite nicely on the iPad, in my experience--one more reason to have it.
    One reason I like the Save2PDF app is that it gives me lots of options on the iPad for how I want to save or process email attachments.

  • I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

    I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
    iselect the customer?

    Hi bazza,
    We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
    First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
    Here is the formula in G2
    =CONCATENATE(B2&"
    ",C2&"
    ",D2&"
    ",E2)
    It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
    This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
    Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
    base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
    row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
    What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
    column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
    we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
    If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

  • TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    When I try to open a pages document on my mac book pro it says "The file 'thesis.pages' couldn't be opened." But i can open the same file on my iPad and iPhone without a problem.

    Thanks very much for the instructions.  I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately.  When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

  • HT1349 I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

    I purchased pages and numbers for Ipad and Iphone, now I have a MacBook Air and I would like to use both softwares in my computer. Do I need to purchase them again ?

    Yes. Air runs OS X, iPad and iPhone run iOS - different operating systems
    that required different versions of Pages, Numbers, & Keynote to run. Like
    the iOS version, once you purchase the version for your Air, you may install
    it on as many OS X desktops/laptops that you own.

  • Automatically open excel spreadsheets with numbers

    can anyone tell me is it possible to set numbers as the default application to ALWAYS open excel spreadsheets? each time i try to open an excel spreadsheet the computer starts up the trial office software. I then have to cancel and choose "open with" and then set "always open with" numbers.
    Having just converted from Windows, I was able to set certain programs to always handle specific file formats, e.g. .jpg, mpeg, avi so I did not have to choose the program every single time i wanted to open a file.
    thx., same goes for pages ,in lieu of word?

    Select an Excel file and option-select (Right Mouse Button) and select Get "Info". See attachment below to set "Open With."
    Regards,

  • How to open Excel spreadsheet in Numbers.

    Hey Kids:
    I have trouble opening imported Excel spreadsheets in Numbers on my iMac.  I have Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  Previously I tried a demo of Office Mac that has expired.  When I try to open an Excel spreadsheet I get a message to buy Office Mac.  I've tried to put the demo application in the trash but I still can't open the Excel spreaddsheet and get a message that Excel is in the trash and can't open the spreadsheet. 
    HELP!

    In addition to what Niel said...
    In the Finder, click on an Excel file (.xls) to select it, press command-I to Get Info.
    In the Info window, expand the Open with...section.
    Click the pop-up menu bar in that section and choose Numbers '09.
    Click the Change All button below the menu.
    Repeat with a current version (.xlsx) file.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: Unless you have something vital that you're storing in the Trash, you might also want to Empty the Trash to get rid of the Excel trial that's expired.

  • TS3991 I cannot open a spreadsheet stored on Icloud on my mac or Ipad. Any help???

    I can not open a spreadsheet document that is stored on ICloud. Get message The document “filename.numbers-tef” could not be opened.

    It sounds to me as though the document has become corrupt. You can try and download it from one device or another, however this may be unsuccessful.
    Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

  • Cannot open documents in new pages for iPad

    cannot open any documents in new pages for iPad

    Currently I'm quite disappointed about the update of Pages. I have realised that it happens after I've edited a Pages Document in iCloud and safed the new version, then I'm not able to edit the document on my iPad anymore. I don't even have to change anything in the document. It's just enough to open the document in iCloud then close it again and "ups", it's not possible to open anymore on the iPad. After that my document doesn't show the impression of the document anymore. The document has only the inkpot as symbol for it.
    Where is the benfit of the cloud, when I can't use my documents after editing in the iCloud on my iPad anymore?
    Even the suggested update (information of the message) doesn't bring a success. After starting the update nothing else happens.
