Is this a bug in Numbers?

Hi,
I have recently finished my spreadsheet for personal finance tracking, and have just encountered what may be a bug in numbers.
I have a few sheets in which i collect the relevant data to be used by the appropriate functions.
This is what I have noticed.
In one sheet I have spending categories in column 1, and the relevant months in the top row. I have used the SUMIFS function to total transactions by category and month. I wrote the first row of functions and when I was done I merely copied and pasted the functions into the adjacent rows since they are exactly the same, the only variable being the spending category, which I allowed for.
I have about 10 categories and they all work perfect except for two rows. I find this very unusual since I have copied and pasted the functions, so no room for error, and not only that, all the other rows work perfect - just these two rows don't do the job. Also, it does not give the error sign (the red triangle with the exclamation mark), but the cells simply return the value $0.00. I even re-wrote the functions to try a different method other than and copied version of the function, but I can't get the values to display correctly in the cells.
Anyways, I just thought that if there is someone else that is encountering the same problem it would be nice to know.
Thanks
ST

Hello
At last I have responded to the 50 mails received and finished what I had to do in the garden.
I wish to add that when something doesn't behave as we wish, 99.99% of times, it's because we made a typo.
Here is a list of common ones :
(1) Extraneous spaces
(2) Unwanted duplicated chars
(3) unwanted or missing parenthesis (or double quotes)
(4) Error with the parameters separator (semi-colon versus comma)
(5) add you own common ones
Case 3 is quite easy to identify because most of the times, it generates a syntax error.
Case 4 is easier to identify because, as far as I know, it always generates a syntax error.
I apologizes but I can't describe Case 5's behaviour
Case 1 and 2 are the more annoying because they may give a formula returning a wrong value without any kind of error message.
It may be a good idea to keep this list near your machine.

In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

In iOS 7 you can still make calls from the locked screen. Just swipe the missed call numbers to the right. Is this a bug?

How is it a security breach? You're free to turn off lock screen notifications for the phone app so that no one can do that.... even if they can, they can only call the number that called you... nothing else. (well, except for 900 or whatever the emergency services number is where you are, but that's required by law).

Creating an alias - is this a bug or what??

Please let me know if this is a bug or a "feature"!!! As I understand things (a few changes since OS 6.0.4 in 1989...) there are 4 ways to create an alias when one is in a folder. For example, I'm in my Applications folder with 300 items in that folder. Generally I put my aps into a folder with the name of that app and the word folder. (I used to use ƒ but read that Unix doesn't appreciate that symbol)-- OK back to the main point: ALIAS creation - 4 ways I know to do this:
1. I right-click and choose Make Alias with the folder or icon selected
2. I hold down the option and command keys and select the folder or icon, then drag it just a bit and voilà - an alias.
3. I choose the folder or icon I want and then do cmd-L to create the alias.
4. I go to the file menu after selecting the folder and choose Make Alias
GREAT all 4 work (is there a 5th way?)--
BUT when I do choices 3 or 4, then instead of everything staying in place, the alias is created and then the screen jumps to the very top - to the "A" or numbered labeled folders / apps!
NOTE: My apps folder has the view choice to ARRANGE BY NAME. If I change this to none - then cmd-L or Make Alias just makes the alias in-place!
BUT choices 1 and 2 also keep the window of my apps folder in the same location EVEN WHEN IN THE ARRANGE BY NAME mode.
Again - is this a bug or a feature? Certainly annoying to make an alias and then have to go back and search for the alias... And note: If arrangement is SNAP TO GRID then choices 3 and 4 for creating an alias also have the screen jump to the "A" folders, i.e. the BUG!
Any comments appreciated - this is a real pain as I keep many of my folders organized by SNAP TO GRID or ORGANIZE BY NAME.
Best regards,

Thanks for your fast reply! There are 3 issues and I'm mainly concerned with #3- but I likely confused everyone with my long post - so let me try this:
1. Moving Apps out of the Applications folder: You are right, it is best to keep the apps in the Applications folder. Especially Apple's applications - for the update and maybe other reasons and I do that.
2. Creating an alias and where does the alias go: That's right, it has the same name and just the word alias added to the end so YES it stays right next to the original (especially when the folder is in the Arrange by Name view). So no problem there - mine is the same.
3. Third issue is really my only concern: The act of creating an alias by cmd-L or the menu: In a window that scrolls, i.e. with many apps or several apps with large icon size (I should mention I'm talking in ICON view here)-- when you make an alias, the window automatically scrolls to the very top. So if you have a folder with 300 apps in it and you make an alias of ZEBRA FOLDER, then the alias is in the correct place but the window scrolls to the top (AARDVARK Folder or whatever).
*ADDITIONAL INFO:* After several restarts - yup, this is now NOT happening very often. Mostly the window is NOT scrolling so perhaps I'm wasting your time and others with this post. Let me recheck the next few days and then post again- especially if the problem has disappeared... which it seems is the case... (I should remember to restart 2x when anything unusual before posting!)

Autofill bug using Numbers in Leopard when assigned to a Space

Has anyone else seen this bug?
I found a weird bug in Numbers. I have set Numbers to automatically load in Space #3. I wanted to cut and paste some information from a window in Space#2 so I moved the Numbers window to Space #2.
When I tab between cells and start typing, based on what the autofill options are it switches out the Numbers window, moving me to Space #3, leaving only the just the drop down menu with the autofill choices. For instance, if I type a 1 and the autofill choices are 150, 120, etc then it flips me to Spaces #3. It does the same thing regardless if I am entering a letter or digit.
If I move the Numbers window back to Space #3 it will display the autofill menu correctly.
Here are two images of the bug.
Image 1 shows the numbers window correctly. http://web.mac.com/bloetel/image1.png
Image 2 shows how the autofill window is the only thing showing when it switches to Space #3. http://web.mac.com/bloetel/image2.png

I encountered this problem too. As a 'solution', I turned auto-fill off, but that can't be the great idea of Apple. Also, the preferences window is in another spaces than the document I'm working in. That isn't a big problem, you can move the preferences window to a different space. I found that via the spaces overview (standard shortcut is F8, I think) you can move the autofill popup, just by dragging it. It disappears in the overview, but it's there when you go back to your original window.

Pages 5.5.1: When opening a document created with Pages '09 (Version 4.0) with Pages 5.5.1 the page header and the page footer are deleted. How can this be prevented? Or is this a bug in Pages 5.5.1?

Same problem here (no graphics in header or footer) and the problem has been reported months ago. It is another bug/feature lost when Apple moves from 09 to the iCloud-compatible versions. Complain to Apple, you may have better chance than me and they may finally listen to their users....

Is this a bug in OWB 11.2 - importing table metadata for character columns

The Oracle® Warehouse Builder Data Modeling, ETL, and Data Quality Guide provides an overview of the data types supported.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10935/orcl_data_objx.htm
It says that for VARCHAR2 data type it saws (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/owb.112/e10935/orcl_data_objx.htm#CHDFIADI )
"Stores variable-length character data. How the data is represented internally depends on the database character set. The VARCHAR2 data type takes a required parameter that specifies a maximum size up to 4,000 characters"
That means , I guess, it says that when I import a table, any columns of type VARCHAR2(10) in the database should have its length show as characters in OWB, so a column of type Varchar2(10) in the Oracle database, should be shown as Varchar2(10) when imported into OWB table metadata via the OWB import function.
However, if I have a database that set-up as a single-byte and import a table using the OWB import function a column that has a size of e.g. 10 in the database, is imported as OWB table metadata and the size is 10. Correct, I am happy.
However, if the database is modified to support multi-byte characters, ALTUF16 encoding with the semantics set to "CHAR", then when I import the same table into OWB, OWB reports the size as 40, I guess its 40 bytes as in 10 characters @ 4 bytes per character.
Is this a bug in OWB, as the datatype in the Oracle DB is varchar2(10), should OWB after importing a table not also report the column as VARCHAR2(10) ? Currently, is shows the column as varchar2(40).

I noticed that myself in our project.
Our varchars2 are defined as VARCHAR2(xxx CHAR) - OWB puts the size*4
In fact if you have special characters like umlauts (ü,ä,ö,...) it will use 4 bytes per character.
You can try it yourself. Define a Varchar2(1 CHAR) and manually change the size of the Column in your mapping inside OWB (in filters, joins or your target table).
Then shoot an umlaut through the mapping and will end up with a "too small" error.
Dont mind the size*4 issue - we totally ignored it and run without error since 4 years now.

Iphone 6 tells me that "Item not available" in my country UK, when i click on the itunes store icon for the app to open the music, movies or tv shows section of the app. is this a bug?

I am based in the UK and have just got a new iphone 6, everything works well except when i try to turn on the itunes store app - i can do a search and buy music etc that way, within the app, however, if i go to Music, Movies or the TV shows section within the Store app, i get a message come up saying "Item Not Available" - This item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store, but it is available in the US store. Tap Change Store to view this item". I therefore cannot browse the music, movies or tv shows sections at all, nothing shows up except that message. All my previous itunes purchases have downloaded ok, and i can access them. My apple ID works fine and restrictions on the iphone are turned OFF. The App Store app works normally. Connection etc is all fine and I can access itunes in the normal way on my ipad and laptop, so this is just an iphone problem. Any ideas? is this a bug? I cant find anyone else with exactly the same problem. By the way, the same message comes up when i click on the red Music icon, on the iphone (situated next to the Safari icon) and then go to the "Store" via that app. my playlists are in tact, but as soon as i click that Store button, I am told that the Item is unavailable - not that i have chosen any Item lol, I just want to access the store in the normal way. Thank you in advance for any suggestions you can give

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

Open Cursor Issue because of file browse Item - Is this a Bug in APEX 3.2

Hi All,
I am using file browse Item to upload file into the database at two places in my application, but it seems whenever I am submitting those two pages, with file path or without file path, its opening an cursor which remains open after that, because of this open cursor count in the application is getting exceeding every time.
For testing this I have made an dummy page containing just file browse item and submit button, and still it is increasing the open cursor count.
Is this a bug in Apex file browse item or there is some other way to handle this.
Please kindly help me in the above issue as this is affecting the production application.
Thanks & Regards
Sanjay

Hi,
One observation, Apex is switching the Session ID after one got killed ? I was working on Apex page with browse Item to test open cursor count,
after killing the SID (227) on which the open cursor count was getting increase, it APEX automatically switches to new SID(149) for that session.
Now the problem is even if I have two SID's and one hits the maximum open cursor count, It is not switching to other SID instead the whole application becomes unavailable.
STATNAME SID VALUE USER
opened cursors current 20 14 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 149 74 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 194 71 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 211 5 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 227 325 APEX_PUBLIC_USER Killed
opened cursors current 244 15 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 20 14 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 149 76 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 194 71 APEX_PUBLIC_USER
opened cursors current 211 5 APEX_PUBLIC_USER

Please kindly help in this.

Is this a bug with BoEdge3.1?

Can anyone help me on the issue which my customer is facing for BoEdge3.1
Concerning Error Message: You do not have enough Named User Licenses to make this user a named user. You have 55 Named User Licenses. (FWB 00013)
This is the error message she was receiving when trying to change an
existing user from Concurrent to Named under the Connection Type on the
Properties panel.
The current workaround was to delete the existing Concurrent user, then re-add the same user as Named.
She have been going through this process of deleting existing users, and then
re-adding them as Named and it was working okay. Then, it stopped
working and she started getting the same FWB 00013 error message again.
She was not able to create any Named users now. Basically, the workaround
worked for a while - then stopped working.
She currently has a total of 88 users. 21 of them are named. 67 of them
are Concurrent. She is licensed for 55 Named.
Once again, the system thinks she has 55 users marked as Named. But
there are only 21 marked as Named.
She did notice that as she was going through all of her existing list of
users, in alphabetical order, she was opening the Properties tab and
checking the Named/Concurrent status - as she got to the 55th user in the
list that is when she started getting the error message again.
Is this a bug with BoEdge3.1?
And I got an ADAPT01194692.
I am not sure that Is the ADAPT related to this issue.
Please help me its very critical.

JDev 9.0.3, Business comp wizard, is this a bug?

Howdy,
Found something that perhaps is a bug, hoping you guys have fixed for the real release.
1) Create a database connection, but don't fill in username/password. Don't check deploy password.
2) Create new workspace and project.
3) create new business component package in the project. On step 2, point Connection name to username/password-less connection. Alert says prompt will ask for credentials. No matter what I put in, with valid username/password entries, a Connect Error pops saying invalid arguments in call. Exception: oracle.jdeveloper.cm.CMException.
Is this a bug? We're using dynamic credentials in our app with data sources, so username/password is left off.

Emulator on OSX don't support capturing audio, is this a BUG?? SDK 3.0

Hello all,
well i'm trying to capture audio with the emulator on OSX. When i test the System Properties for capturing audio i always get FALSE.
I tried the same application on Windows XP with the SDK 3.0 and it works, i'm getting True and can capture the audio with my microphone.
Now i want to know if this is only a Bug and could be fixed or is the support for capturing audio on Mac OSX not implemented yet?
Thanks

Is this a bug of Outlook 2007 about images displaying in signature?

I've done many tests and researched on website or MS KB. But still got no solution.
My issue is:
I make a signature with images linking from website which can be easily accessed.
I setup this signature in Outlook 2007, when I compose a new mail, and choose the signature I set. It won't show the images with a high percentage rate, meanwhile, I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...",
Outlook2007 gets stuck, then you can not close Outlook or open Internet Explorer unless you kill the process of OUTLOOK.exe.
1. Test are done under a clean XP system and Office 2007 standard fresh installed. Also there are some other staffs who help me test the signature that report the same issue on Office 2007.
2. Images are rendered in 96dpi. They are all in very small size stored on website, can be easily accessed without network connctivity problem.
3. The signature is made by simple HTML language not by Outlook signature setup wizard. but in this case, you can ignore which method I use to create the signature. The images in signature can be displayed well in Outlook 2003 &
2010. Also I have tried insert images using "link to file" in Outlook signature setup wizard, got same issue.
4. Don't suggest me to store the images locally. These images should be updated after a period. You can not ask the company staffs to update these images manually by themselves. and even if the images are stored locally, the images won't be shown
in Outlook 2007 with a high percentage rate.
5. I've tried setup signature with or without an account profile, got same issue.
6. I 've tried without an accout profile, just copy the signature file to Outlook signature folder, unplug the network cable, and "new mail" then load the signature, of course, the images won't be shown because network connection doesn't exist,
and then when I try to get into "Signature"-"Signature...", the Outlook interface also gets stuck. So I think Outlook 2007 may have some problem on detecting the network connectivity.
7. It is not possible to upgrate the version of Office. Since Office 2007 isn't out of date and is powerful enough for us, no one want to pay more money just to avoid this issue.
I don't know why I cannot upload a screenshot for troubleshooting. If needed. I can send a mail with screenshot attached.
So far to now, I still get no solution, I think this is a bug of Outlook 2007, because the same signature, there is no problem on Outlook 2003 & 2010. Hope someone of MS staff can see this article and report to technical support center.
I would appriciate anyone's kindly help but please consider that you understand what I am talking about. I don't want to waste time for each of us.
thanks in advanced.

Hallo,
if I understand your problem correctly, you are trying to call MS Word on your server from Java code in your server. This is not to be recommended!
I have seen references to this problem elsewhere in the Sun forums but cannot at the moment find them. There is also something in MSDN. As far as I remember, the story goes like this:
1. Word is a program for client PCs.
2. Word expects to have a GUI available for it to display messages and so on.
3. Although you can control Word over OLE, 1 and 2 above still apply.
4. If you still want to use Word in your server, then on your own head be it.
