IOS 7.0.3 upgrade hoses Numbers Spreadsheets

I got a notice that IOS 7.0.3 was available for my iPad. I read the details of what the upgrade does, and decided to install it. Then when I went to open a Numbers spreadsheet, a message was displayed saying that after I open the spreadsheet on the iPad, I will not be able to open it on a Mac until and unless I install Mavericks on the Mac as well as a new version of Numbers.
BE WARNED. I myself do not have Mavericks because upgrading is a major pain. I am holding off pending the possible purchase of a new MacBook Pro. If that is your situation as well, DO NOT install IOS7.0.3.

I took my phone in to the Apple store. It turns out my Exchange and iCloud accounts were screwing each other up, so I couldn't connect to both servers. To get around it, I had to delete my Exchange account, and now it works like a charm.
If you go this route, you may want to take screen shots of your Exchange server info and email them to yourself before deleting the account.

Moving Numbers Spreadsheet to IOS

How does one move Numbers spreadsheets from a MacBook Pro (Numbers) to an iPad?
The iPad has Pages but I cannot locate an IOS Numbers application on the iPad. Does something have to be purchased or added to the iPad?
Thank you.

You can use file sharing.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4088
You can also use iCloud to sync files between the two apps on your computer and iPad.

Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so? Help?

Can't open old Numbers spreadsheet after upgrading Mac to Yosemite. Error message says it should first be upgraded to Numbers 09 but doesn't provide method to do so? Help?

There is a chance the spreadsheets were made with a Numbers or AppleWorks version so old that it's not compatible anymore with the latest Numbers version (yes this can happen)

I can no longer open a Numbers spreadsheet.

I have a Numbers spreasheet that I use all the time, in fact even earlier today. But when I try to open it now, I get an alert that says: "2013 Current status" can't be opened.
The file started out years ago as a Numbers 2 file. Recently I upgraded to Mavericks a few weeks ago and upgraded Numbers to Version 3.0.
I've been using this file with no problems since the upgrades.
I started walking through my backups and found a version from about 10 days ago that I can open in Numbers 3. None of the intervening versions can be opend in Numbers 3 anymore.
I did a Get Info on the file and I can see its preview and it looks like I expect and even a preview with cmd+space shows me the first page as I left it.
If I drop the file on iWork 2.3 I get what I would expect, an alert telling me I need a newer version of numbers to open it.
So, I had an old Numbers file, I opened it and used it with no problems in Numbers 3 for a while, and now I can't open it.
Does anyone know what I might try?

Hi Rick,
Sometimes you see problems like that if the document is stored in Dropbox, which so far doesn't play nicely with Numbers 3 documents. If it does happen to be in Dropbox try moving it elsewhere.
You also sometimes see that if you have it in iCloud and are syncing with other Macs or with iOS devices and a sync "conflict" didn't resolve properly (i.e. it wasn't closed on one machine and was changed on another).
If you have the document in iCloud (which with Numbers 3 is now a good option) then on your Mac you may be able to recover it via Finder by holding down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers.
Also, if you haven't already, it may help to update to Numbers 3.0.1 (released yesterday). It is supposed to have squashed some bugs.
My experience with 3.0 is a little different from Jerry's. It was clearly a rushed product. But I don't have a lot of complex legacy Numbers spreadsheets that would get messed up on import (which seems pretty buggy) and generally find that simple and clear (not simplistic) spreadsheets more often than not are the most effective spreadsheets. I like the fact that many "nice but not necessary" features no longer clutter up the interface and make syncing a nightmare, and that Apple will reinstate some really crucial ones. And the fact that Numbers finally works well on mobile, a big productivity enhancement (think data entry) that MS can't match (yet).

Numbers spreadsheets won't update...

Numbers spreadsheets won't update to iCloud from iPad2. Anyone know the solution to this problem?

I have upgraded my Ipad to IOS 6 and now I cannot open my spreadsheet on Numbers. This is very annoying as my last back-up of this spreadsheet is rather old. I would appreciate any advice. I tried to email the spreadsheet and I also tried to open it in iCloud - can't do anything there either.

If I update one device to ios8 can I share numbers spreadsheets with other devices on ios7 and mavericks?

(I posted this in the Numbers forum but didn't get answers, I hope someone in this forum has the answer. Should be straightforward.)
I'm not yet ready to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS8 or my computer to Yosemite, but I would like to upgrade my iPad 3.
I have several Numbers spreadsheets that I modify on any of these devices and expect to see the new document on any of the others within a few minutes.
I have seen the warnings not to upgrade to iCloud Drive, and I'm cool with that, since I don't use iCloud on the web browser. But if I simply avoid iCloud Drive is that sufficient? Will I be able to continue syncing my documents among the three devices as before? This note on Apple's Developer pages seems to indicate it may not work:
Document-Related Data Migration
The iCloud infrastructure is more robust and reliable when documents and data are transferred between user devices and the server. When a user installs iOS 8 and logs into the device with an iCloud account, the iCloud server performs a one-time migration of the documents and data in that user’s account. This migration involves copying the documents and data to a new version of the app’s container directory. The new container is accessible only to devices running iOS 8 or OS X v10.10. Devices running older operating systems can continue to access to the original container, but changes made in that container do not appear in the new container and changes made in the new container do not appear in the original container.
In other words, I might be able to see the document on my iOS8 device but if I make any changes to it I won't be able to see them on the other devices. I'd like to know from someone who has actually tried this whether it will work or not.
Thanks.

Normal "documents in the cloud" syncing should still continue between devices running iOS 8 and devices running iOS 7 and Macs running Mavericks (or earlier) as long as you do not enable iCloud Drive on your iOS 8 device(s). As mentioned in the support document, migration to iCloud Drive breaks breaks documents in the cloud syncing as iCloud drive is a completely different system. (For a time I was running iOS 8 on my iOS devices without iCloud Drive enabled and had no problems syncing iWork documents between them just as they did when running iOS 7.)

I can't open my numbers spreadsheet on my Mac, from iCloud

I save my numbers spreadsheets to icloud as I need to access them on the go.
Now that I have turned my Mac off and back on, I can't access any of my numbers spreadsheets from icloud.
When I try to open one I get an error message that says "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet."
I have the latest version.
This happened a few weeks ago, and was eventually sorted when another update came through for numbers for my Mac.
But this time I waited for the updated to catch up with Australia, but I still can't open them.
I can however access then by sharing the document via icloud, but I can't use it in numbers on my Mac, and I cant save it to my Mac.
Does anyone have any tips?

It sounds like you may have mre than one version of Numbers installed on your Mac. and that the older one is attempting to open these files.
If you were previously using Numbers '09, and upgraded to Numbers 3, the older version will still be on the Mac, enclosed in a folder named iWork '09, found in your Applications folder.
Numbers 3 will also be in the Applications folder, but not enclosed in another folder.
The two versions have different feature sets, and I would caution against removing the earlier version before ensuring that any features you have been using and that you need are supported in Numbers 3. Both versions can coexist on the same machine (and according to reports, can both be running at the same time).
To ensure that you are launching the newer version, make sure you have it's icon on the Dock, and that you use that icon to start the launch. The icons for the two versions are similar—both are vertical bar graphs in 3D format. The difference is in the number of bars—three for Numbers '09 and four for Numbers 3. Once you ahve launched the needed version, use File > Open (or File > Recent items) to locte and open the file.

Is there a way to password protect a numbers spreadsheet in ios5?

Hi,
I have created a numbers spreadsheet in my macbook and then i protected it with a password to open. Then i have uploaded it to icloud as i need to be able to access it from both my iphone4 and my ipad2. Although the spreadsheet is indeed accessible from all my devises, i don't get asked for a password neither on the iphone nor on the ipad and the spreadsheet opens right away without any protection (it actually asked for my password once, the first time i opened it in my ipad and tha was it. Since then it opens without asking for the password)
Why isn't the password i created in the macbook working everytime i open it in any of the other two devices?
Is there any way i can have it working everytime one tries to access it?
Thx
Ibro

This is an iOS question in an OSX app discussion, but I'll give an opinion. iOS devices are personal, and can be passcode protected themselves. It's reasonable to assume that once the file is opened on that personal device, it will always open on that device without further verification.

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.

Numbers spreadsheet with a guage (speedometer-like) control

I'm new to the Apple world and need to create a Numbers spreadsheet with a guage (speedometer-like) control that reacts to a value changed by a slider in real-time. Are there any Numbers featrures or add-ons that provide this type of functionality? Eventually, I'd like to move this to an iOS app. Any suggestions on nice charting and guage controls for iOS apps?
Thanks,
Lisa

Here is an old thread dealing with something similar to this. There is no way in Numbers to make a needle unless you are will to use and X-Y graph and perform the rotation math on many points. Said another way you cannot insert an image of a needle, then rotat it based on the value of a cell.
You CAN enter points for the outline of a needle, then perform the math to rotate the points:
The formulas are:
columns D and E are the unrotate coordinates for the arrow
F2=SQRT(D2^2+E2^2)
G2=ATAN(D2/E2)
select F2 and G2, then fill down
B2=F2*SIN($A$1+G2)
C2=F2*COS($A$1+G2)
select B2 and C2, then fill down
make A1 a slider and set the range from 0 to 8 (that'l a little more than twice around, or 2*pi)
The graph is set so the limits (min and max for X and Y) are -1 to +1
I hope this is another option

I just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 but can´t open files of Numbers 9 version, help...!!!!!!

I just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 but can´t open files of Numbers 9, help...!!!!!!
Can someone please help me, because those files in Numbers 9 version, are for my work and now I can´t open them

Hi rabg,
I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.
Regards,
Ian.

Why can't I edit this Numbers spreadsheet?

I have a Numbers spreadsheet which I created on my Mac. My problem is that when I open it, it will not allow me to make any edits. I can see all the rows, columns, etc. including the content of each cell.... but I cannot select any of these cells.
All of the header items such as Function, Table, etc., are present but they are dimmed and I'm unable to select them.
I have other Numbers spreadsheets which allow me to edit just fine. My problem is with this one particular spreadsheet.
Is there some type of setting that I have unknowingly set whch has locked this particulare spreadsheet?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks for your suggestion. It did not fix my problem but I continued poking around and fortunately I discovered this solution:
File > Export to> Numbers '09
The new file opened ans I was asked if I wanted to upgrade it.
I answered YES and I now have a fully funtional spreadsheet.

My numbers spreadsheets won't save on my Macbook Airsince updating to iOS8. How do I fix this?

My numbers spreadsheets will no longer save on my MacBook Air since I updated to iOS8. How do I fix this?

If the reset does not work
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
"Sorry, something went wrong.
This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
Thanks.

How can I get contacts into Numbers spreadsheet

How can I get my contacts into a Numbers spreadsheet, please help since the OS X mavericks upgrade I cant drag them and I dont know how to get them into the spreadsheet now can anyone help

And here's a way to get some actual information from Contacts into Numbers 3.0.
1. Copy/paste the script below into AppleScript Editor.
2. Select the cards in Contacts that you want.
3. Click the green run button in AppleScript Editor.
4. Click a cell in Numbers and command-v to paste the data in.
That should result in something like this:
Here is the script:
--Places tab-separated Contacts data on the system clipboard for pasting into a table
--usage: select one or more contacts in Contacts, run, select a cell in a table and paste
tell application "Contacts"
          set {tsvData, contacts} to {"", selection}
          if selection is not {} then
                    set tsvData to "Name" & tab & "Phones" & tab & "Street" & tab & "City" & tab & "Zip" & tab & "Emails" & return --header row
                    repeat with thisPerson in contacts
                              set {thisPhone, thisEmail} to {"", ""}
                              set {thisName, thisID} to {name, id} of thisPerson
                              set {thisStreet, thisCity, thisZip} to {street, city, zip} of the first address of thisPerson
                              set phoneProperties to properties of phones of thisPerson
                              repeat with j from 1 to (count of phoneProperties)
                                        set thisPhone to thisPhone & value of item j of phoneProperties & " "
                              end repeat
                              set emailProperties to properties of emails of thisPerson
                              repeat with j from 1 to (count of emailProperties)
                                        set thisEmail to thisEmail & value of item j of emailProperties & "   "
                              end repeat
                              set tsvData to tsvData & thisName & tab & thisPhone & tab & thisStreet & tab & thisCity & tab & thisZip & tab & thisEmail & return
                    end repeat
set the clipboard to text 1 thru -2 of tsvData -- remove trailing return
                    tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Click in cell and <command-v>" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
          else
                    tell application "System Events" to display dialog "Select at least one card in Contacts and run again" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
          end if
end tell
This is not as nice as the old vcard drag and drop import. It's a simple example and probably needs some customizing because there are so many different ways people store information in Contacts. But this approach can meet most needs, if it's not convenient to leave the data in Contacts and link to it.
