Impossible to display a Numbers doc in my iPad or iPhone if the file was edited in Numbers for OSX

Hi,
I've created a Numbers spreadsheet in the Numbers app for iPhone.
Later, I've edited this file with Numbers for OS-X.
Since, I'm no more able to display this file in my iPhone or iPad. Indeed, in Numbers iOS, when I click on the file icon, there is a strange error message displayed (the original message is in French, So, excuse me if the translation is not perfect):
"The spreadsheet can not be imported. An unknowned error occured."
I've tried to duplicate the spreadsheet in Numbers OS-X, change some data, colors, ... but the pb is still there.
Does anyone have an idea ?
thanks, and regards
Marc

Hi Thierry09,
I see what you're doing. I just tried going through Dropbox here and I get the English version of your message: "Spreadsheet can't be imported."
I think this may be a Dropbox issue. Dropbox used to display Numbers documents, I think, before the recent Numbers iOS upgrade. They probably need to update their app.
I like Dropbox. But is there a reason you need to use Dropbox for Numbers? Numbers syncs very well now via iCloud (iCloud has gotten a lot better in my experience) so you don't have to fuss with Open in ... and all that, the way you do with Dropbox.
If you want to give iCloud sync a try then on your iOS device you need to make sure it is switched to On in two places:
   Settings>iCloud>Documents & Data>Numbers.
   Settings>Numbers>Use iCloud.
And on your Mac:
   System Preferences>iCloud>Documents & Data>Options>Numbers.app.
With iCloud sync enabled the Numbers documents appear automatically on iOS and you'll be able to see your documents online as well from any modern browser, should you ever need that.
You can still back up your documents outside iCloud. On the Mac they are located in a folder you can reach in Finder by option Go>Library>Mobile Documents>com~apple~Numbers. On iOS you can email them to yourself or send to iTunes.

HT1727 How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process). My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone

How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)? My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone. I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello mcegirl4,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please refer to the instructions in the following article to assist in downloading those previous purchases from iTunes and the App Store:

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

Can I see my PDF docs on my iPad and iPhone

I would like to know how to see PDF docs on multiple devices like iPad and iPhone. Also how can I see my photos on both devices?

If you upload your photos and PDF files in Dropbox, you'll be able to see them on your computer, iPad, iPhone and iPod.

I had the same problem the other day--my totals were listed, but all the other categories under "History" (Last Workout, Recent Workouts and Personal Best) were empty.
I figured everything was lost, but decided to plug my nano back into my MacBook and let it mount in iTunes, then unmount it. I checked the History again. The first time, nothing changed. So I plugged and mounted again. The second time after unmounting, I navigated to the History menu, and suddenly the nano screen displayed a "Loading History" and it slowly loaded all my workouts. A few minutes later, all the History data was available again.
Try that--plug and unplug several times, being sure to allow the nano to properly mount in iTunes before unmounting--to see if you can get the history to load.
(One more thing to note--my nano is set to NOT automatically sync with iTunes, as I prefer to manually manage my music. I don't know if this will make a difference in the handling of workout data, but figured I should mention it here just in case.)

How can I easily transfer file (pdf, doc , xls) from one iPad to another. The files are in iBooks collections?

I have just purchased a new iPad2. We have an iPad and would like to transfer files that are in iBooks as pdf and doc to the new iPad2 without e-mailing each as a attachment. Any ideas?

If you're syncing the documents from iBooks to your computer using iTunes, you can just sync them onto your new iPad the same way.
If you don't feel the need to use iBooks, you can use a cloud storage app like Dropbox or a file management app like Goodreader.

Is there any way to buy Numbers for OSX 10.8 now?

I can't upgrade to Mavricks yet because of issues with Junipers VPN client. Trying to buy Numbers via the appstore but it says it requires 10.9. Is there any way to buy the version from last week?

You will need to buy the retail box from a third party such as Amazon.com or eBay. Be sure to run Software Update after installing & before running any of the applications. You can also download the standalone updater from this page.

Your English is good.
You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

DeVry Dropbox will nort reconize word doc as attachments, it claims the file is empty.

While on DeVry using their website and attempting to use the drop box. I followed their instructions and tried several times to attach a word document to the dropbox but everytime I did it would claim that the file was empty. Had to use internet explorer.

When you call it the first time, it new Shell() constructs a new Display for you (the default).
The second time, it gets the default display, but you are in a different Thread now. Since you have to create your widgets in the UI thread, it gives you that error.
To run code in the UI thread, Display provides two methods:
display.syncexec(..)and
display.asyncexec(...)see

I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:

PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

Incorrect display of images in PDF on iPad

I have a problem with displaying images in a PDF on the iPad. The PDF is created from a MS-Word file on a PC.
On a PC, the images in the PDF display OK.
On an iMac, the images in the PDF display OK.
Only on the iPad, the images in the PDF display weird, see these pictures:
First the correct image as it is diplayed on PC and iMac:
And this is how it looks on my iPad:
The text in the PDF is OK, it just that (some) images display faulty.

it is possible that you transferred data to your ipod through my computer or something, that wuold not show up in the library or be accessable on your ipod but it would still take up space, for example i saved my whole cmoputer and all the files on my ipod drive for system recovery and it showed my ipod at full capacity with only 600 songs
