I just switched from EXCEL to numbers and have a lot of problems

Problem1. I converted an excel spread sheet to Numbers. The excel sheet subracted two dates to determine if date 1 was earlier or equal or later than date 2. The result was used in an IF statement to take various actions in either of the three cases. Numbers tells me I can't compare "durations" to other data types, and I can't subtract a date from a number. Hmmm?! In Excel dates are numbers so this is not a problem. How can I avoid this, or convert the duration to a number?
Problem 2. In reading the Numbers help manuals, I can't find the operation that corresponds to "fill down" in Excel, such as when you install a formula on a column and want the same formula in each cell down below. Numbers seems to take great pains to show me how to install various colors and styles, but not a simple formula.
Help Please.

Jerry,
1. A Date is a particular data type, distinct from Numeric values. Hard to say why you are getting that message without seeing your data. I suggest this approach:
If one date is in Column A and the other date is in Column B, you could write:
=IF(A>B, "A is later", "B is later")
There is no reason to do a subtraction unless you want to use the difference in a calculaiton.
2. Yes, Numbers supports Fill
Write your expression in the first calculation cell. Select that cell and all the ones below it that you want to Fill to.
Choose Insert > Fill > Fill Down
Regards,
(also) Jerry

I just switched from Aperture to Lightroom and PS CC. My images exported from LR and PS suffer color loss. Where do I begin to correct this problem?

I just switched from Aperture to LR and PS CC. My exported images suffer color loss? How do I correct the issue?
I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark III in Adobe 1998 Color Space. I've been exporting JPEGS for web with Color Space sRGB.

Does your issue have anything to do with switching from Aperture?
In other words, if you take a new photograph with your camera, and import it in Lightroom, then export it, is there still a problem?
Or is the problem somehow tied to transition from Aperture, or photos migrated from Aperture...?
I'm guessing the reason you brought up Aperture is that you did not have export "color loss" issues in Aperture, like you are having in Lightroom, but since you didn't say... (just want to be sure).

I am looking to make the switch from pc to mac and have been eyeing the MBP 13". I would like to know whether it is fine to add RAM and SSD myself? any compatibility or warranty problems? what brand/type of RAM and SSD is the best fit? thank you.

I'm possibly wrong here but I suspect opening a brand new MBP to add parts yourself will void the warranty. It is probably in the small print. I certainly would not risk it for an expensive Apple product.
Some (Windows) laptops have easy access to memory and disk slots that do not necessitate taking the complete back cover off. However, Apple does not make life easy for you.
However, if you are going for a 'used' machine it is probably worth a try.
Not possibly, definitely wrong, Ram and Hard Drive are considered user replaceable and will not void the warranty if changed.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iphone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Just switched from verizon to comcast and need help with me wireless.

Im on my basic setup page but i dont know how to configure it to work. if there is a step by step instuction page for this that would be great

You need to configure the router first as per the ISP settings.
Open the set up page of the router by launching an Internet Explorer Browser and type the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field empty and provide password as admin and click on ok.On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone""... Click on enable>>>Click Clone & click save settings ...Check WAN Ip on Status page of router .... If getting Valid Ip .... try going online...If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address ..... and try to go Online.

Switched from pop3 to imap and have hundreds of duplicate emails; V31.6 won't allow use of duplicate cleaner add-ons

Can one go back temporarily to an earlier version of Tbird or Firefox in order to make use of a duplicate cleaner add-on? When I attempt to make use of the 0.1.14 version of Duplicate Cleaner, I get a message that the add-on is not compatible with Firefox v.37.0.1.

<blockquote>
the add-on is not compatible with Firefox v.37.0.1.
</blockquote>
Of course it isn't, the add-on is for Thunderbird, not Firefox.

Switched from DSL to cable and now can't find apple tv in itunesdevice list

I just switched from DSL to Cable and now for whatever reason I cannot find my apple tv in the itunes device list on my desktop computer. If I use another laptop through the same wireless router I can see the apple tv no problem. My apple tv can see my wireless router and connect to the internet and watch youtube/trailers/etc.
I have tried restoring the apple tv, and have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the itunes on the desktop. I also reset the wireless router...none of the above seem to work. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this has been crazy frustrating...thanks in advance.

If you have an AirPort Extreme or a Time Capsule, you need to use the AirPort utility to access it. Otherwise, your router has a control panel that you can access by entering the router's IP address into your web browser. You'll have to check your router's documentation for the default login name and password, but it's often admin admin or root root (which is why you should at least change the password as soon as possible).

I just switched from a PC and am installing googlemail on my macbook. it has successfully connected my calendar and contacts. But my mail is not linking. i get a unable to connect to the server message. any ideas wise ones pls

i have just switched from a PC and installing my googlemail account onto my Macbook pro. I can successfully see my calendar and contacts but my mail will not connect. i get an error message - can not connect to the server. Any ideas please?

Neil,
I don't use Apple's Mail client (I use MS Outlook) but setting up your Gmail account should be fairly straightforward. Just make certain that you have your settings correct.
For your incoming server, be sure to use the "map.gmail.com" server, using SSL, using port "993" (usually the default).
For your outgoing server, be sure to use the "smtp.gmail.com" server, override the default port and use port "465" and use SSL to connect and make sure that you enter your email address and password to access the SMTP server.
If you've already set up your account with these settings, you may need to Google "gmail setup apple mail" and find the Google document relating to same.
Good luck,
Clinton

Hi, Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am used to using ACR in CS6 with it's preview checkbox in the upper right-hand corner. I do not see that checkbox in PS CC. I see that they have added side-by-side, right and left and top and bottom before and after

Hi,
Just switched from CS6 to PS CC. I am very comfortable using ACR in previous versions. I liked to use the preview checkbox located in the upper right-hand corner to see before and afters. That checkbox is no longer in my version of PS CC. I see that they have side-by-side, top and bottom and right and left before and after options in the lower right-hand corner in this version. Is there anyway to get that legacy preview checkbox back so that I can use it?

Hi Warunicorn,
Thank you very much. I just could not find it on my own. I will have more questions as I get into it.
Jim
