If I buy the Numbers app will it automatically update my old '08 version?

I think I would like to buy the Numbers app as the old iWork version I still have with Mavericks, Numbers '08 version 1.0.3 is glitchy, especially the Find feature. Does Find work well in the new version. I am particularly concerned about editing updating Stock entries.

Is there a way to import the data into the new version. I couldn't face opening and closing two versions. This is where the old paper account books might be better.
Hi Ewan,
I agree that paper is often better!
No need to open and close each version. If Numbers '08 is still working for you, select the cells (or the whole table) and Menu > Edit > Copy.
Go to the new version of Numbers and Menu > Edit > Paste. The paste may lose all the formatting, but will retain the data.
This will be tedious if your original document has many tables on many sheets .
If you mean new version is Numbers '09, you will see that the Find feature is not glitchy.
If you mean new version is Numbers 3, you will see that the Find feature is (ahem) not very powerful.
Which new version are you thinking about?
Regards,
Ian.

From the iTunes Store, yes, all your iOS devices running on the same account will qualify.

TS1702 The Numbers App is showing an update but each time I attempt to update it fails.

The Numbers App does not install an update. I have tried by wifi and through the cell connection. Help?

Check to see if you can download or update other apps to narrow down the issue to either just numbers or with connecting to the store in general
you can also try a reset (hold power / home button together for 10-15s), reset network settings (settings > general > reset > reset network settings), or deleting the numbers app (tap and hold on it till it jiggles then hitting the x by it) then reinstalling it (appstore > purchased, or appstore > updates > purchased)
cheers

If I buy the Apple app. Numbers, will I then be able to open my spreadsheet documents marked cwk?

Many of my old documents were written on older systems which now won't open in Lion. Word processed docs will open with Pages, and I wonder whether I will be able to open old spreadsheets if I buy the Numbers app without loss of layout, etc.

Numbers '09 can open AppleWorks spreadsheets created with AppleWorks 6. It cannot open files created with earlier versions of AppleWorks (or ClarisWorks), nor can it open AW 6 files that are not spreadsheets.
Maintenance of layout/format depends on Numbers supporting the same format options as Appleworks. For example, Numbers (and other current Apple applications will not support bold or italic text in fonts that do not include these variations within the font set. AppleWorks (and other applications of that generation would also construct representation of bold and italic typefaces using added width or a slant to characters in the Regular font set.

I am going to buy a second Apple TV. When I turn on Apple TV with the remote app, will it activate both Apple TV boxes or will it allow me to select the one I want to operate?

The remote app will distinguish between the two Apple TV's, you won't need to pair it, it will only control one Apple TV at once.

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?

Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.
Apple - Up-to-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
I hope this helps ...

HT201272 will you get extra charge if you buy the same app in another device?

will you get extra charge if you buy the same app in another device?

Yes. Why would you buy it again, when you can redownload for free?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If I have iWork 09, will I have to buy the new app from the mac store?

I already have iWork 09 on my computers. Will I have to buy the new app from the App Store?

Larry,
After you install Mavericks, run Software Update. You should be offered the updates in the normal update mode. No charge.

After updating to iOS8, the Numbers app crashes every time I try to use my attendance sheet.

I have updated to iOS8.0.2 and I've updated the Numbers app. I generally use my iPad (4th gen, with retina display) to take attendance with the template in the Numbers app. However, every time I scroll through a page with check buttons, the app crashes. This did not happen before updating. Is there a way to get this on Apple's radar, as it seems to be an instability in iOS8? Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

I suggest you try another app.
All of the "Office" document editing applications on the iPad have limitations. Best try them out to see if they meet your needs.

How do i get a numbers spreadsheet from my mac to my iphone have the numbers app so

i have a numbers spreadsheet on my macbook and the numbers app on my iphone.How do i get the spreadsheet from the mac onto the app on the phone so it updates through icloud

Not according to Apple.
From the document you referred to:
iCloud makes it easy to move Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents between your computer and your iOS devices. Just sign in to icloud.com/iwork in any modern web browser, and all your iWork for iOS documents will be there — complete with your most recent edits.
Also, according to Ted Landau (emphasis mine):
To convert an iOS-formatted iWork document to a Mac-compatible format and transfer it from iCloud to your Mac, you must download the file from the iCloud website via a web browser.
Which makes the syncing hack he describes in the rest of the article, which I do not recommend, far less useful.

In the "Numbers" app can you paste "as values" as you can in excel?

In the "Numbers" app can you paste "as values" as you can in excel?

Hi volgc,
I am not currently using iCloud- I need to wait for the dust to settle over iCloud Drive. I would thnk that the default would be to paste values rather than formulas but again, I am on the Mac or iOS. What happens when you use control-c and control-v. Is control-v pasting the formulas?
Copy and paste in iOS Numbers on your iPad should not be any problem for you. When you tap the cell you want to copy the popup menu will offer you the choice to copy, when you tap on the cell you want to paste into you will be offered the choice to paste formulas or paste values.

Why can't I buy the pages app for my iPad?

I tried to buy the pages app for my ipad but it said it wasn't supported?

Pages requires iOS 5 now as indicated on the app description page under the Pages icon. You will have to download and install iTunes 10.5 first on your computer in order to download and install iOS 5 for the iPad. Your profile indicates that you are running iOS 5. If that is the case, try restarting the iPad or resetting it and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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 - let go of the buttons.

I am having trouble with the "numbers" app on my MacBook Air. I go to print my document and that works just fine. I cannot however return to the document after printing. What do I have to do?

RR,
Not to worry, you're not the first to expect Print to finish by returning you to the edit mode. The thing is that Printing is so hit and miss with this version of the app, you will probably want to stay in the Print window for more than one attempt.

I downloaded the numbers app but when I click on the icon it won't open on my iMac.

I downloaded the numbers app on my imac and it completed the download, but now when I click on the Icon it wont open. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help.

What a mess !
The app delivered for iOS can't run under OSX on a mac.
The app delivered for OSX on a mac can't run under iOS on iPhone or iPad.
They are different products.
I repeat that to run Numbers on you iMac you must buy Numbers for OSX delivered on Mac App Store or, if you are running an old operating system (older than 10.6.6) you may download the iWork's 30 days free trial version, install it, update it as iWork 9.0.4 and buy a registration code thru Apple Store.
