IWork Numbers and Documents to Go

I have a Blackberry and am trying to use a spreadsheet with it. I used to do it with my Palm and HanDBase, it worked great, but it is not compatible with the BB.
When I transfer the Numbers file and try to open I get an "Internal Error Has Occurred (2004)"I have no idea what this means. Here's what DataViz says.
"You said the files are created in iWork; this seems to be the issue. Other apps that save in MS Office formats can do things slightly differently than Office itself, which our app may not always handle properly. After resaving your file in MS Office, it worked on the handheld. Sorry for the inconvenience".
Does this make sense? If so, anyone know of an app for Blackberry that will handle a Numers SS?
Thanks

This is a perennial problem with import/export of non-native file formats and a perennial problem of finger pointing by the respective companies when something does not work correctly. It is part of the larger problem of independent hardware and software companies trying to get their stuff working together properly. This is part of the reason I tend to stick with Apple products and tend to stick with Apple software. Apple designed the hardware, they designed the operating systems that run on the hardware and they designed the applications that run on the operating system. When there is a problem, there is no finger pointing because it is all Apple. With a PC it was always the computer manufacturer versus the video (or other) hardware card manufacturer versus Microsoft versus the company that developed the application versus.... with finger pointing in every direction.
If I was to take Apple's point of view, I would say Numbers is working correctly. It exports Excel files that are readable by Microsoft Excel; the intended target for the exported files. If a non-Microsoft product cannot read the same files, it is an issue with that company's application. As Apple, I would say DataViz is not correctly implementing the import/read function for Excel files because it is choking on files that are readable by Excel. DataViz obviously takes a different stand on this issue because it is able to correctly read files saved by Excel; the intended file source. And the users (you included) are stuck in the middle of all the finger pointing.

  • I heard about that when you update to mavericks, the Iwork, Numbers and Keynotes are for free, aren't they?

    I want to know if Iwork, Numbers and Keynote are for free when you update to Mavericks?

    Only if you purchased iWork or a new Mac from October 2013 onwards.

  • Opening additional tabs on iWorks Numbers

    I converted an Excel spreadsheet to iWorks Numbers and I cannot find the additional tabs and worksheets that are on the bottom of Excel. How can I use the other tabs(worksheets) from the Excel document in Numbers. I basically had mutliple worksheets in one Excel spreadsheet. However, when I open that Excel spreadsheet in Numbers, I only see the main worksheet. How do I access the other worksheets that are part of the same file. Thanks for your kind assistance. I am sure the answer is very simple.

    This forum is dedicated to the productivity application, AppleWorks. It is not a "catch-all" for how Apple computers work. For your Pages 3/'08 questions, post in the Pages ‘08 forum. For your Numbers questions, post in the Pages ‘08 forum. Both are located in the iWork '08 sub-category of the iWork category.

  • Pages, Numbers and Keynotes doesn't allow me to save documents

    I created a new document in pages, numbers or keynote and, when trying to save it to my documents folder, it shows me "Couldn't auto-save document".
    I've tried with different folders with the same results.
    There's no problem when saving to iCloud.
    I had installed iWork'09 and moved it to another folder.
    Versions are: Pages 5.2.2, Numbers 3.2.2 with OSX 10.9.5 Mavericks in a iMac 27-inch late 2009

    Are you running any anti-virus, anti-malware on your Mac? If so, disable this a/v software.
    If not, I would suggest the following:
    Boot into Recovery (hold command+R at the chime)
    Run Disk Utility (verify/repair permissions, and verify drive) on your boot drive
    Reboot normally
    Boot into safe mode ( you can do this during the above reboot)
    At boot chime, press and hold shift key until horizontal progress bar appears
    At login prompt, press and hold shift key, after your password, but before clicking right arrow to log in.Press and hold shift key until your Desktop appears
    Reboot normally
    Re-evaluate if Pages auto-save failure dialog gone.

  • Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

    Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

  • I purchased iWork apps for iPad (pages, numbers and keynote). How do I use MobileMe to upload docs from my PC to iPad?  Janet Frustrated

    I purchased iWork apps for iPad (pages, numbers and keynote).  How do I transfer files from my Laptop PC to the cloud for my iPad?  Thanks!  Frustrated Janet

    Greetings Janet,
    Read here: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/news/2010/09/iwork-for-ipad-apps-now-support-mobil eme-idisk.html
    Login to your iDisk on the windows machine and then click on the Home on the left.
    Upload whatever documents you want access to on your iPad to your iDisk.
    Once you have the desired files on your iDisk you go to the app on your iPad you wish to work with tap the sharing button (little arrow going down into a box) which will give you an "iDisk" option and you'll see the files there.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit between both.

    How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

    Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
    If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.
    Regarsd.

  • How to initiate numbers? I have iwork 08 screen coming each time and asking for the serial number even if I just bought Numbers and no serial number have been sent to me

    I have just bought Numbers and while initiating, a iWork 08 screen is appearing asking for a serial number. I did not get a serial number and I can't work on it... Somebody knows how to go ahead?

    Are you planning to continue to use Pages and Keynote from iWork '08 trial ?
    If you don't,
    Go to my iDisk (address below)
    Download :
    For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Unpack it and run the script to uninstall completely iWork components (it don't delete the documents which you created).
    It would also be a good idea to use a maintenance tool like the free Onyx to to clean the LaunchService databases.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
    Take care to download the stable version dedicated to Lion ( it's Onyx 2.4.2)
    Then, reinstall Numbers '09 from the MAS. You will not have to pay. The protocol is described in :

    my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud.  Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.

  • Figure numbering AND paragraph numbering in the same document

    Hi everyone,
    I have a document with both figure numbering and paragraph numbering. So let say I am in section 4, then the first paragraph would be "4.1. Introduction" and the first picture would be "Figure 4.1: Cool pics".
    I created two different lists, one for the figure and another one for the text so that figure numbers and paragraph number don't conflict. However I cannot add the section number in the figure numbering since it's on the other list... I tried to have the figure numbering and paragraph numbering in the same list, but then the numbers conflict (e.g it gives 4.1 Introduction and Figure 4.2: Cool pics).
    Can anyone help me, doing what I want (which is "4.1. Introduction" and "Figure 4.1: Cool pics")? Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    ps: I am using Indesign CS5.5 on a pc

    Thanks for your answer Jump_Over, but my project is already divided into chapters (themselves divided in sections) in a book.
    I found a way around by having the figure numbering in the same list as the paragraph numbering, the twist : while I use level 1 to 4 in paragraph numbering, I use level 5 for figure numbering with a numbering definition like ^1.^#, so no more conflict between numbers.
    It's working fine so far...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • Only F keys work in Numbers and Pages after iWorks Update 6

    Within Numbers and Pages only the F keys work. Is anyone else having this problem since installing iWorks update 6? What can be done to regain use of the keyboard?

    Update - I am using Better Touch Tool (BTT) which provides additional gestures for my Magic Mouse. Disabling BTT for Numbers and Pages restored the keyboard functionality. If you experience similar problems, open BTT and add Numbers and Pages to the program list and select the option to disable BTT completely for these two programs.
