Is there a way to lock rows together?

I need a way to lock cells together so that when I sort one column certain groups of rows stay together. Is there a way to link or lock rows together? Creating a separate category isn't really feasible as I will have thousands of rows, and each one may only be linked to 3 or four rows.
Here is a screen shot of sample of the inventory:

I basically need to be able to sort by title without losing the organization below each blue row. Any ideas?

As separate records, your column titled "# of reels" will no longer be applicable. Instead, that column would be titled "Reel" and each reel will have a number. For example, the reels in 5/24/77A will have the numbers 1 through 9.
As separate records, the rows that are in blue will not be applicable and should be deleted. All rows will have the title and location. You can create your blue rows by using the Category feature, categorizing by Title, and using COUNT (also part of the categorize feature) for summing up how many reels are contained in each title. Also select "show function name" and it will display as "Count: #".
To find duplicate titles, you could create a column that concatenates the title and the reel number and use it to find duplicates. =A&C. There may be a 5/24/771 and 5/24/772, etc. but there should be only one of each unless you have a duplicate title. Ensure there are no duplicates before categorizing or they will get categorized together (which means they will also be sorted together).
I'm not sure what kinds of sorts you are planning to do. Some may require turning off the categories, some may not. Note that turning on categories will sort the table and it remains sorted even after turning categories off. If you keep the Reorganization panel open you can categorize, sort and filter the table in different ways without much difficulty. Option-clicking on a disclosure triangle in a categorized table will collapse the categories; in this case it would collapse it so that you have one row per title and a count of the number of reels in the title. Option-click again to reveal all rows.
Also, I recommend making a copy of your document before doing all this. Just in case.

Is there a way to lock the phone's touch screen during a phone call?

I just purhased my iPhone and I noticed that during a phone call I may accidentally tap Mute or Speakerphone with my cheak, depending on which hand I hold the phone in. Also when I hand the phone over to someone they may accidentally tap a button, and in the worst scenerios they will accidentally end the call.
Is there a way to lock the screen or something to prevent any of the above from occuring?

Their currently isent a way to disable the buttons but what you can do is click the home button during a call after pressing loud speaker and that will separate you from the call options and take you to the home screen and on the top it will have say call active and you can click that to renter the call note the call will still be active but when you hold it next to your face the screen should temporally go dark. Steve jobs was the one who came up with when the top sensor is active the screen will go dark and disable on screen button pressing when it is press against your face

TS1702 Is there a way to lock out or restore original settings on an iPad used in a school lab setting. We need something like the program cornerstone, which will allow the iPad to revert back to its original setup.

We setup iPads for a mobile lab and students change the settings or set up a pass code on the iPad. Is there a way to lock the settings folder or an app to revert any changes back to the original set up like the program cornerstone (for a pc)?

Is there a way of locking app folders in iphone?

I have found a lot of app fro locking pictures and files, contacts, etc, Is there a way of locking down a folder that contains apps? Say i don't want someone opening my facebook app or other apps I have. Any help is appreciated.

Unless the app has some sort of passcode written into it, no, you can't lock it. You can't lock folders.
If you don't want someone using your Facebook app, you can log out of it.

Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

Is There A Way To LOCK Items To The Dock (to prevent accidental drag off)

Is there a way to lock items to the dock to prevent accidentally dragging them off? Every now and then, I'll accidentally drag something I just meant to click (really, I click too hard while moving my mouse) and I'll see a POOF as the icon disappears... which means I have to dig for it in the finder and replace it. D'oh!

run the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; killall Dock
to unlock it change true to false in the command.

Is there a way too lock the iphone history on safari

my history keeps getting erased and i dont know whos doing it i wanna know if theres a way to lock the clear history button

No.
Unless you or someone else using the phone is clearing the history, resting data, or restoring the phone, the Safari history doesn't get deleted. If someone else may be doing this, you can enable a restriction on Safari:
Settings > General > Restrictions > Enable Restrictions > Safari > On

This may help: iOS: Understanding multitasking.
If you turn OFF multi-taskng, your toddler won't be able to "swipe" between Apps.
I don't know of any way to disable the "Home" button though.

Not really. You can hide an app in restrictions, but iPad is a single user device, so there is no real way to lock an active app from others if you let them use your iPad.

This means you and your children are sharing the same Apple ID for iMessage.
You need to get your own Apple ID to be used for iMessage on your iPhone. You can continue using your existing Apple ID for iTunes store purchases.

I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing so that my kids can not have this option?

There is no way to reliably disable private browsing or keep a user from deleting history. Use a program such as netnanny to keep track of history and sites visited.
