Is there a way of automatically synching an Excel document with Numbers on an iPhone?

I have Numbers on my iPhone.   I have placed a couple of Excel files into the File Sharing window for Numbers in iTunes.  I sync the iPhone and then I can open up and view the files on the phone.
Now, what I can't figure out is how to have Numbers automatically update the files when I've changed them on my MacBook Pro.
Is that even possible?

No, that is not possible at this time (at least from my own experience). Currently, you can make changes on your iPhone, but in order for you to make changes to the same document on your Mac, you first have to:
     -1) Download the file from your iCloud account
     -2) Make the changes from Excel or Numbers app on Mac
     -3) Save the document in Excel or Numbers
     -4) Then, go back to your iCloud account online (on your Mac), and drag & drop the updated file to iCloud
I know I just said a mouthful, but I agree, that is a lot of extra steps for making a document sync on both your Mac and iPhone.... Hopefully Apple will have a solution for this in the future (where, for instance, a document can be accessed via iCloud directly from an iWork application (like Pages, Numbers, Keynote), and then we are able to make changes to the document, and as changes are made, it automatically updates in iCloud without us making any additional steps, if this makes any sense)....
Hope this helps....

  • Is there a way to automatically display a Word document in Print Layout view?

    I am using Report Generation Toolkit (v.1.0.1). After displaying the report, the view in Microsoft Word is always "Normal." It would be really nice to automatically show it in "Print Layout" view. (i.e. in Word, go to View >> Print Layout) Is there a way to do this programmatically through the vi? I'm using LV 7.1 and Windows 2000. Thanks,

    Hey dj143
    The best way to do something like that is with property nodes.You can do this the easy, by going into word and recording a macro. Then look at the macro and duplicate it using property nodes.here is a vi that I did for you that answer your question

  • Is there a way to automatically populate a text-box with target object's colour values (CMYK, RGB, HEX, etc.)?

    I know there's image metatext, but I'd like to know if it's exclusive for images. When I set up my branding colour scheme I usually come up with about 25 different colours, so it's kind of a chore to go ahead and fill in the Pantone, CMYK, RGB and HEX values for each one of them. Is there an easy way to do this? If not in InDesign, is there a way to do it in Illustrator?
    Thank you on advance!

    The only problem is it only fills in the RGB values
    Looks like the script label is the swatch's actual color values, which can be Lab, CMYK, or RGB (not Hex). The problem with equivalents is which flavor? If you want the RGB equivalent of a CMYK swatch do you mean sRGB, AdobeRGB, ProPhoto RGB, etc., they would all be different.

  • Is there a way to automatically populate a text box with its text's colour values (RGB, CMYK, etc)?

    I'm trying to work a little faster and since Kuler now syncs into CC, I'd like to know if there is a way to colour text from a text box and have this text change automatically depending on the values of the swatch I selected.
    It should work more or less like metadata, or variable text: you can customise what value will appear
    I'm almost 100% sure the answer is no, but it can't hurt to ask.

    The short answer is No. But I see that Ray has given you an option.

  • Can I synch Word/Excel documents?

    I'm running OS X 10.9.5 on both a iMac and a Macbook Air.  I'm new to the use of iCloud, so bear with me.  I'd like to synch Word and/or Excel documents between my two Macs (i.e., edit the file on either Mac and then have the latest version of the file available on the other Mac), but it appears I'll need to wait for Yosemite to do that, right?
    If I log on to iCloud.com and click on the "Pages" icon, I get the following message:
    "To use Pages, you'll need to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive.  iCloud Drive will allow you to store any file in iCloud and access it any time, on any device."
    BUT, the message goes on to say:  "Important:  If you upgrade, you won't be able to access documents in iCloud from devices with IOS 7 or OS X Mavericks.  You'll need to install iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite on the following devices..."
    This sounds a bit like a "Catch22".  Since Yosemite is not yet available, the message seems to be saying, in effect:  "to use Pages (to store a document) you need to upgrade.  If you upgrade you won't be able to use Pages"
    I'm confused.  Any help is appreciated.

    With MacOS X Mavericks on your MacBook Air and iMac, you should be able to use "Documents in The Cloud".
    But it works only with iCloud-enabled apps. You would need to open your Word Documents with Pages and the Excel documents with Numbers.  Pages and Numbers can store documents in the cloud and they would be synced to your other Mac.
    If you want to keep the Office documents as Word documents, but still sync them in the cloud, try Winston Churchill's user tip. You can create your own iCloud drive, see this link:   Using iCloud to sync multiple document types.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac/content?filterID =contentstatus%5Bpublished%5D~objecttype~objecttype%5Bdocument%5D
    This will only work, if you did not upgrade a mobile device to iOS 8 and enabled iCloud Drive on that device. In that case you will have to wait till Yosemite will be released.

  • Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

    Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps?  I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

    I have a two-page form of which the second page is essentially a spreadsheet analog.  Often, there is need for for more lines than are available on the page.  Is there a way in which to add another or even multiple copies of the second page?

    You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

  • Is there a way to automatically insert the filename in the footer of a spreadsheet using iWork's numbers 3.2?

    Is there a way to automatically insert the filename of a spreadsheet into the footer when using iworks numbers 3.2?  iworks 09 had this feature and I can't find this feature in the new version of numbers.

    Hi rhyolite,
    In Numbers 3.x, The Print View and Layout View have gone (for now at least). Page Headers and Footers can only be reached under Menu > File > Print... to open Print Preview. Hover the cursor to reveal the Page Header and Footer fields.
    The only inserts that I can get to work in Print Preview are Page Number, Page Count and Date & Time. Filename is no longer in the Insert menu.

  • Is there a way to automate the CFX tags installation?

    Hello,
    I'm currently in the process of re-installing a web farm of ColdFusion 8 servers (W2K8, IIS 7.5).
    I have to install a number of CFX tags (C++) on each server to get the code running.
    Is there a way to automate the installation of the CFX tags (regedit imports, VBS, PowerShell...)?
    I found some link indicating that keys should be imported in the registry at: HKLM\Software\Allaire, but Allaire does not even exist in this branch (I believe that the instructions were true of older versions of CF).
    I installed one of the tags manually and noticed that the file neo-runtime.xml was updated with:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <wddxPacket version="1.0">
      <header/>
      <data>
        <array length="18">

    Can I simply add the XML node to get it running?
    Thanks in advance for any lead to the solution.

    This is great! but I'm not there yet. I figured how to assign little midi triggered melodies to a touch track. I used to do stuff like this on an old Buchla years ago. How do I get the automation on the midi track to control the filter on an audio track? I created regions with the automation I want on a midi track, then I assigned those regions to keys with touch tracks. How do I get that to control the filter on the audio track?
    thanks,

  • HT202299 Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes on icloud ?

    I saw that icloud has a limitation of 5 minutes on the videos :
    Is there a way to automatically upload videos that last more than 5 minutes from iphoto/photos ?
    I'm trying to find a way to store my photo library on the cloud, AND keep to acces to each photos/videos from the net (not just storing the .iphotolibrary on the icloud folder) but i cant do it for the videos of more than 5min ...

    I believe you are probably referring to iCloud photo sharing. If you wait a while, the next version of Yosemite will include the new Photos application which will sync video through the iCloud photo library feature.

  • Is there a way to automatically detect and delete duplicate photos in a library

    I just imported a load of photos into my main iPhoto '11 Library from several older MAC's Photo Libraries. Despite repeatedly using the "Don't Import Duplicate Photos" dialogue box, I have many duplicate photos. Is there a way to automatically detect and delete Duplicate Photos?
    I also have iPhoto Library Manager installed on my MAC, but cannot seem to locate on it anything that would do this.
    I have over 4,000 photos, so would really appreciate some help here! Thanks in advance...

    duplicate annihilator - http://www.brattoo.com/propaganda/
    And NEVER import an iPhoto library into another iPhoto library - doing so des not work and creates massive duplication
    if you still have all of the original iPhoto libraries I recommend you drag the bad one you created to the desktop (delete it later when everythin has successfully been completed) and start over usin iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to merge the libraries

  • Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig)?

    Is there a way to automatically backup the Airport Extreme Configuration file (.baseconfig).
    I know (in hindsight) that I can manually export it from the Airport Utility, but ideally I would like to include it in my Time Machine backup. I had a situation where my Airport Extreme (3rd generation) just stopped working (no lights, no power). I had not exported the config file. I bought a new Airport Extreme (5th generation) and had to manually configure the new router.
    Thanks

    One option would be to use Automator and record the actions to run the AirPort Utility; save the configuration file to the desktop (or any other location you want), and then, close the utility. You can then either make this a part of your login startup programs. Time Machine then should be able to make backups.

    I did not use istore to buy the music - but imported from my cd collection.
    Thanks.
    What a great system - simple and no hassles. Thanks Apple. Goodbye PC.

    If you are using AlbumArt widget you can do this with the widget interface.

    I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
    Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.
