I have a spreadsheet file in apple's numbers that I use as a grade sheet. I can generate an individual student's report and email a pdf version of this report to the student. Is there anyway to automate this process to the entire spreadsheet?
?
Hi Matt,
Similar answer, as well. My first thought on reading the question was 'mail merge', as it was with Ed's question.
But since you're already generating the individual reports using Numbers, 'printing' those to a PDF file and attaching the file to an email message would seem a better route to go.
That should be doable using either Automator or AppleScript, but my expertise with either of those is about the same level as is was when I responded to Ed's question. I'll wish you luck, and leave this to the Automator or AppleScript experts.
Regards,
Barry
PS: I'd suggest you prepare a copy of the document with the names (and perhaps the marks/grades) replaced with anonymous ones. I suspect a look at the actual file will be necessary to get a handle on its structure.

This is an open letter to Apple and I hope this issue is addressed soon I know I am not the first to complain and bring this to light but it is very dissappointing, because a product that markets itself as something the "Just Works" is doing the opposite of this. And I believe the blame lies in the Lion OS.
My keyboard just stops working, and it's not all the keys, specifically it is the alphabet keys and the space bar. all the other keys around the keyboard work fine. Also once this happens the J key on my keyboard acts as a single mouse key and controls the mouse by scrolling it down. It happens on either my keyboard on the laptop or my wireless keyboard. This problem is very frustratng as it impedes on my productivity at work and I keep having to restart the computer because it seems to be the only thing that will correct the issue... temporarly. I don't know how high on your priorty list this is but, until this is fixed I don't think I will recommend Apple computers to anyone.
Sicerely,

I have multiple email accounts. How can I keep them completely seperate in Outlook?? Right now ALL incoming emails come up all at the same time. HELP!!
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
Changing the rescue email address requires supplying two of the answers. They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Everytime I check my email and switch websites the program will become unresponsive and freeze, then it will say "Not Responding". After waiting a while it will work again but with it freezing up for every time a page changes or refreshes it's a waste of time for me to use this browser.

I have an Iphone 4 and the IOS app was downloaded. I HATE it it will not allow me to group text. i do a prayer chain for my church and it will not let me type any messages...is there anyway to delete this app or upgrade
As major software releases go iOS 7 is amazing? Many requests for support found on these boards are solved via advice related to How To Do Something. Many times the advice is right out of the User Documentation provided by Apple. If someone were to compare the number of critical issues reflected across these posts vs. most other major releases from any major vendor ...iOS 7 is excellent.

Products Affected
iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 8 for Mac, iTunes 9 for Mac
This article has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple.
Symptoms
After installing the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update, iTunes may be unable to properly authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases.
Resolution
The following steps will delete your network preferences. Most broadband connections do not require any special settings to connect, but if your connection does or if you are not sure, please contact your ISP or network administrator for further assistance.
Important: You must be logged in as an Administrator.
Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
Choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go.
In the Finder window, locate the file named NetworkInterfaces.plist.
Drag this file to the Trash.
Restart the computer.
Once your computer has restarted. You will not be able to connect to the Internet. Now you will need to refresh your network settings to be able to connect again.
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
To refresh your network settings, from the Location pop-up menu, choose New Location.
Type a name for your location and click OK.
Click the Apply Now at the bottom right to accept the changes.
If your network connection requires any special settings, you will need to put them back in at this point. Once you have made these changes you should be able to connect to the Internet again and authorize your computer to play your iTunes Store purchases. -

Hi, both my husband and I have iphones synced to my apple id. It seems that we can't facetime due to this as it's like my email address is calling my email address! Is there anyway to fix this or will we need to create a new id for my husband's phone?
settings - facetime - remove the apple id, on your husband phone.
He should create his own id for imessage and facetime. -
My ipad has stopped updating apps. It doesn't even ask for password, it just oges to the apps screen showing empty progress bars. I've re-synced account and restarted but with no luck. Other than deleting the apps is there anyway around this?
OK. I will work backwards.
You certainly don't want to have to delete apps every time that they need an update, for any number of reasons. Losing data first and foremost would be a drag, but the overall hassle would be absurd. All things being equal, you should be able to update apps in the future after you delete them and reinstall them. I delete and reinstall apps all the time and I am also able to update them when updates are available for the apps. I just wanted to know if you had any success in any fashion installing apps.
Resyncing/refreshing the Apple ID/iTunes account wouldn't seem to be the issue either if you can download apps or other content from the iStores. Your ID is being accepted.
That leaves us with I'm not sure what. But I think I would try this trick fix and see if it helps.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again. -
I've had a fault with the hard drive on my laptop, it's been replaced and now my iphone and ipod can not sync unpurchased items with itunes. Is there anyway of sorting this without uploading all of my CD's again?
If your CDs are on your iPod/iPhone, they can be recovered from there,see this post:

Your problem shows the importance of making backups. -

Hello. I tried backing up my 4th gen. iPod touch to the 10/21/2014 settings, but when I tried that, it backed me up to the June 2014 settings, even though I back my iPod up everyday. Is there anyway to back it up to the Oct. settings? Thank you.
If a restore to factory settings did not resolve the issue, it's a likely indicator of a hardware fault, meaning you'll need to or want to set up an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar.
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Okay My Aunt has given me her old updated iPhone 5c where she has lost her password to her icloud account and doesnt know her sercurity questions to reset it is there anyway to bypass this with the iOS 8.1.3
You cannot bypass this security measure. You need to recover your AppleID from appleID.apple.com
If you can't send the password recovery to a secondary email, contact Apple Support. -
