Ipad numbers: programming options

Hi, we are currently testing ways for our reps to work with ipads in-field, using pre-generated data. Is there a way to automate / programme numbers in order to automatically import a specific data set and do some operations like filtering etc with these data? We have several complex applications in Excel and look for a way to somehow transfer these modules to ipads.
Thanks
Gert

currently there is no way to "automate" ipad numbers. this would be done on the desktop using Applescript (the equivalent of using VBA in Excel to write your automation).

My numbers program created on my mac version 3.0 won't work on my ipad version 2.0. It says I have to save the file with preview option but there is no such option in preferences. Any thoughts?

For the update to run Aperture must be installed in the system Application folder and named simply Aperture, not Aperture3.2.2 or anything else.
I don't know if this would also affect photo stream but if your Aperture is misnamed or installed in an incorrect location fixing that to see if it clears up the problem would be a good first step.

Using SUMIFS on iPad Numbers has anyone had trouble using the keypad relational symbols in the "conditions" field?

The iPad Numbers has a very nice data entry keyboard for expressing conditions. They have the usual =, <, > but also have the single symbol version of >=, <= and <> (as an equals with a slash through it), however, if you try to use these keypad keys in the conditions field of the SUMIFS, it returns a syntax error. After seeing some examples of Numbers '09 I discovered I had to express a relation inside double quotes, " ", which means the text keyboard is displayed and the very nice data entry keyboard is gone along with the nice symbols. Has anyone seen this and am I doing something wrong or is this another bug? Thanks.

The xxxIF functions have (for as long as I have used them) required a text string as the argument unless it was equal to a value of a cell, with no logical operators. so it is not something new, its been that way for decades and I personally think Apple might have done it differently if they didnt have to maintain compatiability with older spreadsheet programs.
i.e. not a bug, ensures backward compatability.

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I attempted to "cancel" and "delete draft" but it is still on my screen even after shutting down and restarting. How do I exit so that I can use other mail functions?

Using iPad mail program I have a draft of an email. I have attempted to "cancel" this and "delete draft" but the email stays on my screen. How can I exit this so that I can use other email functions?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available

How can I log onto iCloud from my iPad when the option is in grey and therefore not available. I deleted my account as it was showing up with an old Id ( I'd changed my email) but now I've done that it won't give me the option of logging back on. Do I have to do this on another device Or computer linked to iTunes first?
THanks

Hi Kate, have you perchance enabled restrictions on your device. (Settings > General > Restrictions)

Upgraded my Living Room Apple TV to 5.2 and now it no longer shows up on my iPads as an option

Upgraded my Living Room Apple TV to 5.2 and now it no longer shows up on my iPads as an option to play back my iTunes rented movies. Any idea why or how to get it to reappear? I did not update my bedroom Apple TV and it still appears as an option. Many thanks in advance.

Did you check to see if AirPlay was still eneabled on ATV after the update? Was the iPad/iPhone updated to iOS 6.1?

How do i add a timestamp in ipad numbers

I cant find any where better to post this so I hope it is ok here if not please feel free to remove to a better section
As the title states really I need to enter a number in D2 and then D3 needs to show the time of the entry in D2.
I assume it goes down the lines of if D2 > 0 and D3 = "" then D3 = Time. But I have never used spread sheets at all, this is my first encounter and the Ipad numbers syntax is pretty confusing for a nuube.
Any advice would be great

@ SG111 Thanks for the reply but I dont think you understand the question my friend, your answer is not relevant to what i was asking at all
@ T quinn
1 it seems ludicrous that it is impossible to simply add a time stamp it seems a very important yet simple task to use a timestamp in a spread sheet so why not have it in numbers?
It seems it is impossible from what i gather yet it seems so easy to do with the logic after all many applications use a very simple time for input criteria.
I see no issue with the logic that if D3 ="" and D2>0 then Time stamp D3. Once D3="NOW" it no longer ="" and should not alter the time when the calcs are made.....
My main issue is actually getting the syntax right in the numbers logic functions
Maybe Numbers simply does not allow it in which case it is a pretty useless piece of software indeed!
Any way thanks for the help

Unfortunately, Toshiba USA doesn't ship there, and it's not available to download. You'd have to see if there's a third-party that could sell you it or have someone you know in the US order it and then ship it to you. Sorry.

How can I add the iPad cover lock option to the iPad 2?

The iPad cover lock option doesn't come up on my settings on my iPad 2. How can I add it?

Hi Sven,
You can't. GC does not support the monitoring of standalone HTTP server installs. Only HTTP servers which have been setup through an iAS install can be monitored.
I have had a SR raised with Oracle regarding this and a enhancement request has now been raised, but how long this will take is anyone's guess.

Change Start page numbering to Auto Page numbering in the Numbering & Section Options using script

1. I have many documents to add into a book. After adding the documents, all file page numbers should be continued from the previous file. Now I am doing manually for all files at all time. Numbering & Section Options => Start Page Numbering at: to Automatic Page Numbering.
2. And also I need to add the Chapter number with the page number (Ex: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 … , 2/2, 2/3, 2/4 …., 3/2, 3/3, 3/4 ….). Here also I am doing manually like. Numbering & Section Options => Page Numbering => Section Prefix: 1 and Include Prefix When Numbering Pages. (The page number should start from 2).
Note: In Every chapter opening there will be a file name called S… (Ex: Ch 1: S3391.indd, Ch 2: S3392.indd, Ch 3: S3393.indd). So after every S(S3391, S3392 …) file the next file page number should starts from 1/2, 1/3. 2/2, 2/2 ….
Ex:
Chapter 1          Pages
S3391.indd
32457.indd       1/2 … 1/5
32617.indd       1/6 ….. 1/9
32217.indd       1/10 … 1/13
Chapter 2
S3392.indd
42457.indd       2/2 … 2/3
52617.indd       2/4 ….. 2/9
33217.indd       2/10 … 2/13
Could anyone give me an idea or script, please? At least for First one, could anyone suggest me ASAP.
P.S: I have some more questions regarding this, I will post that after some time...
Thanks in Advance,
Thiru

var openedDocs = app.documents;
var chapterPrefix = prompt ("Enter the chapter prefix", "1/", "Prefix");
for (var doc=0; doc<openedDocs.length; doc++){
    openedDocs[doc].sections[0].continueNumbering = true;
    openedDocs[doc].sections[0].sectionPrefix = chapterPrefix;
    openedDocs[doc].sections[0].includeSectionPrefix = true;
alert("Done");
Chapter 1, contains 10 files (Each file 6 pages)… (1/1, 1/2, … 1/60) – prefix 1
Open all 10 files of one chapter and run it....
and then for another 10 files....

How can I duplicate a photo in the Ipad photo program?

HOw can I duplicate photos in the original ipad photo program? I wanted to blow up a part of a picture, but also keep the original.

The Photos App keeps the original with editing added as changes to the original. You can always revert back to the original.
Other photo editing Apps may also provide the capability to save the modified version with the changes incorporated. For example, Photo Editor

I used the drawing option in AppleWorks. What is an equivalent program/option for Lion?

I used the drawing option in AppleWorks. What is an equivalent program/option in Lion? I use it to design quilts.

Nothing that comes with Lion.
Just put, "osx drawing program free," in Google and take your pick.
First one on the list is one called Paintbrush: http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/
You could also just search the App Store.

I have an excel spreadsheet that needs to be transferred from a PC computer to my imac. I downloaded the numbers program, but when I transferred the spreadsheet using numbers, it didn't appear the same. Do I need to buy the mac office software?

I have an excel spreadsheet that needs to be transferred from a PC to my imac. I downloaded the numbers app, but the spreadsheet isn't appearing like the original in the numbers program. Drop boxes aren't working the same and things are moved around. Will I need to now purchase the mac office software or will I still have the same problem?

More compatible are OpenOffice or NeoOffice. Also if you are using a PowerPC Mac you may not be able to use the most recent Office anyway. Make sure the version of Office you get is compatible with your Mac. PPC indicates PowerPC, which was only found on Macs early 2006 and older. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine which CPU is on your Mac. If it says G3, G4, or G5 it is PowerPC. If it says Intel Core you can upgrade to Snow Leopard minimum and possibly the latest Office, if it says Intel Core2Duo (with the 2 in the middle) or Core i with some number you may be able to upgrade to Lion, but certainly no trouble wiht the latest Office.

Ipad numbers

Column will not sum on ipad numbers. I have three numbers in a column and when I try to sum the column I get zero for the results. I can't see what I am doing wrong.

If the numbers are being stored as numbers it will not sum. Check your formatting and verify that it is stored in some numerical format.
That's the first thing i always check when I get that error.
