Is there a way to preserve interactivity within a table so that users of an iBook can enter new values in selected cells and have formulas recalculated with that input?

I would like to include interactive tables that would recalculate using formulas I have written and values that the reader/user has entered into selected cells. The tables I've made in iBooks Author do contain formulas that work as expected...until exported to an iPad, then they look and act just like a static table. I am not looking for serious number crunching or high-end mathematics, although others might find great value in such capability.
To work without a reader/user accidentally (or otherwise) altering formulas or formatting it would be necessary to lock some or most cells of the table. At present all cells are locked after export. Apple doesn't seem to envision or value the functionality of such a feature; it appears to me missing from Numbers as well.

Should be near trivial to execute on with an app...
As welll, I wouldn't be surprised if a dashcode widget would fit the bill.
As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

  • Is there any way to download the Photoshop Elements 10 tutorials to my laptop so I can work from them when I don't have access to a Wi-Fi connection?

    Hello, I finally have time to learn how to use my Photoshop Elements 10 program.  However, I want to be able to use it while we travel and I seldom have access to a Wi-Fi connection.  I was wondering if there's any way to download the Adobe website's tutorials to my laptop so I'm not dependent on that Wi-Fi connection?
    Thanks so much!

    Yes. You can download the Firefox installer and copy the file to an USB stick or other medium and install Firefox from that drive.
    You can find all Firefox versions here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

  • Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?

    Is there a way to increase the number of layers in PS touch for iPad? Can Adobe do something about this?  I have been using PS touch for iPad for a few years and ALWAYS end up with a message that I have reached the maximum allowable number of layers.  not to mention of course a simple tool for drawing straight lines which is a must.  I may be missing something.  I would have imagined that a respectable company like Adobe would have added over the years a small upgrade to solve these issues.
    thanks. 

    Hi Patrick,
    I'm working on a 30" monitor, so it's effectively 2560x1600.  It only seems to be showing 2 tracks at a time, unless there is a preference or setting I'm missing that I can't seem to find in the documentation.  Here is a screenshot:
    I don't see any areas for expanding the timeline.  I can scroll vertically in the timeline, but I can't seem to actually get a larger static vertical area for showing more tracks at once.  The only vertical resizing widget is to expand the bottom or top panels, not the timeline.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • With Firefox, whenever I drag a URL icon to the desktop, it morphs into a generic Firefox logo. The specialized icons would be better....is there a way to preserve them?

    if this is a duplicate post - I apologize- new here

    Hi!
    It seems that you are looking to customize the icons in your desktops with the Favicons of an specific site (the small logos next to the URL as you call them).
    I'm not sure if any add-on exists but by default it's not possible to do what you are looking for.
    I hope it help, at least a little bit.

    Hello Serenity99.   In my rather limited experience with this, I have had much success with just copying and pasting the project from within FCP X.  All of the properties (retiming, themes, effects, music, sound effects etc.) copy over exactly between the two, which is great.  The only thing is that while the transitions and retiming copy over in the one go, you may have to go back and copy and paste any titles seperately as they are placed above the clips (well in my case they have been) but they will copy over nicely and as previously configured.  I have not found this to be a big hassle at all.  I was releaved to find that the process was as easy as it was.  Mind you, I have not has as hiccup free a time with copy and pasting from other applications like iMovie to FCP X.  Although I can select and copy the projects, all the other editing and rejiging has been jumbled and required much reworking.  But if you stick to within FCP X it is easy as pie and works wonderfully.

    Did you try Parental Controls?

    See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.

  • I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with outlook to get all contacts.  I've also set up my earthlink mail account and it sends/receives fine.  IS there a way to sync it so I get all of the legacy emails sitting in the OUtlook inbox?

    I've just purchased an ipad2 and have synced it with Outlook to get all contacts, etc.  I've set up the mail account and it is working just fine.  The sync doesn't pull over legacy emails from Outlook and my Outlook has been set up to remove them from the webmail server therefore they aren't available from webmail anymore.  Is there anyway to pull them over to the iPad? 

    But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
    out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
    timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
    project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
    I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
    never finding it again.)
    I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
    something) of every single file.
    There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
    and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
    Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
    If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
    From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
    Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
    Peace

  • Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

    I have a MacBook. In previous versions of Firefox I could zoom in or out using my trackpad. Is there a way to set my settings in the latest version of Firefox so I can still zoom using the trackpad?

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />

    No, it is not possible. When upgrading the iOS on the phone, the only one you can install is the latest version, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 7.0.4.

  • Is there a way to use a namespace, such as "Library", and have a program with a different namespace include the Library namespace?

    For many years, I have maintained a library of often used functions for C++.  This has become more challenging with the required namespace for C#.

    You could create a class X in a namspace Y in a C# class library project. You can then add a reference to this class library project/assembly from every application in which you intend to use the class X in namespace Y.
    You don't add references to namespace, you add references to assemblies in .NET. You can then use a class in namespace Y of any referenced assembly by adding a using directive at the top of the code file in which you reference the class:
    using Y;

    Is there a way to back your phone up to iCloud if you cannot access your device? My screen is completely shot and will not me let unlock my phone to access anything!

    If you think your phone is working even though the screen is broken, you might try backing it up to iTunes on your computer.
    If you can't do this you could take it to an Apple store and see if they can back it up for you.
