Keyboard failing intermittently using Numbers '09 in Lion

Since upgrading to Lion today, my keyboard is cutting out in Numbers. It has become completely unusable. I have reinstalled and deleted plists to no avail. I have updated the iWork Suite through Software Update to get the newest update released yesterday. I hope that someone will be able to help me and I will note that this is also happening in both Keynote and Pages. It is also an issue on creating new documents and not just ones that have been migrated to OS X Lion. I appreciate  and thank everyone for any help that is offered.

What you get is the 'normal' behavior.
When you leve the keyboard for some microseconds, the app start its AutoSave task.
As iWork apps are badly coded, the task eat every cycles available in on eprocessor core so you can't do anything just wait for the save achievement.
I delivered a script allowing us to get rid of that.
Save_As#3 :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16810268
Open a document,
File > Duplicate
close the original document
This way, the open document is a 'never saved' one.
Work on it, Autosave will not apply.
From time to time, trigger the script.
It will :
(a) duplicate the work in progress
(b) save the replicate
(c) close the replicate
You will be able to continue to work in the original duplicate without AutoSave action.

  • Keyboard Issues Intermittent Use of Keys & Tracker Mouse

    Hello All,
    Look forward to some help please.
    Not sure what is wrong, seems there are a number of weridy things going on. Nothing dramatic, but all very annoying.
    About a month ago replaced the HD myself, re-installed, everything seemed fine. Then had the following problems.
    1 - 'U, J, M' keys stopped working. After PRAM zap were ok.
    2 - At a later date the directional 'up & right' keys and the 'Return' stopped working, no explanation just sometimes works with a restart or a complete power down and reboot.
    3 - Tracker pad stops working completely then plug in a PC USB mouse and might start working again, might not.
    4 - Screen goes black and I have to press the power button to get the machine up again. This is with the power cable plugged in and power on.
    I appreciate this machine is oldish but these are strange enough problems, with no consistent reasons for happening that I can think of.
    Lastly I got the following message when it went completely south on me.
    I'd appreciate any help possible, other forums have not been able to even post a response. Many thanks again.
    This morning I had points 2 & 4 happening and had to power down reboot.

    Mike:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Your, apparently, random keyboard issues may be due to either faulty connection of the keyboard ribbon cable to the logic board, or a defective/damaged ribbon cable. I suggest you go back in and make sure the connection of the ribbon cable to the logic board is secure. If necessary place a new piece of kapton tape on it to secure it.
    I further suggest that you boot the computer from the Apple Hardware Test disk that came with your computer, and run the extended tests in a loop (hold down Ctrl + L during tests) and let is run for a while, as intermittent issues may take up to several hours to show up.

  • Targus Bluetooth keyboard failing intermittently

    I bought an external keyboard for easier typing when needed. For some reason it stops working intermittently, and then reconnects after a minute or so.  Is there any reason for this, or is it just a poor choice for the Playbook?
    Is the Verbatim folding keyboard any better?

    i hear in OS 2 this should be resolved, let us know when it is released

  • After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?

    Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
    If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12.

  • Using Numbers with Lion and iOS

    Hi,
    I'm interested in using Numbers to share and update documents across my Apple devices (iMac, Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad) via iCloud.
    I have Numbers 09 installed on my iMac and Macbook.
    I get that I will need to install Numbers on my iPhone and iPad.
    My questions are the following:
    Do I need to update my Numbers to the '11 version in order to share any documents generated on my iMac/Macbook via iCloud?
    If so, do I need to purchase separate copies of Numbers for the Lion machines and for the iOS machines, or will the same copy of the software be usable among the four machines?
    Thanks!

    V.G.,
    The iOS and OSX versions are sold separately. There is no '11 version of iWork, if that's what you are asking about. iWork '09 is the most recent, but there have been many free updates along the way.
    A single iOS purchase will be good for all your iOS devices. For OSX, if you used the MacAppStore, you purchase only once for all computers on your account. If you purchased from the Apple store onlne or from a retailer, it's a single user license or a family license, so you that would determine if one copy would be enough.

  • CS5: Magic Wand fails intermittently; cannot use Channel Mixer on selection

    Hello,
    Using CS5 / Photoshop on Mac OS 10.6.4. 4GB RAM.
    The Magic Wand tool fails intermittently.  Quitting PS and rebooting seems to re-enable use of the Magic Wand.
    However, even when the Magic Wand tool does "work", for some reason I can no longer use any of the items in Image -> Adjustments, such as the Channel Mixer.  This functionality was working just 20 minutes ago, and now even with multiple reboots I cannot seem to get it working again.
    Googling came up with no relevant articles on this errant behavior.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Could you post a screenshot?

  • HT6312 How do I use Numbers, Mavericks, and sharing to collaborate with others who have PCs/Macs like I did last week?

    Last week I used numbers in a very efficient way to collaborate with colleagues.
    Yesterday I was required to upgrade to iCloud Drive in order for others to view my documents and edit them.
    Now I cannot use the Numbers application on my mac to update these documents and publish them back to the cloud until Yosemite.
    (not all Numbers functionality is available via the web app) (Yosemite Beta not available at work)
    How is a decision made to eliminate a top line collaboration feature a month before folks can update?
    My work flow is shot and I must resort to Google Docs and ridicule for trying to make Apple "business" apps work.
    From the iWork Support Document:
    ***You’ll be prompted to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive when you install iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite, or launch Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on iCloud.com.
    ***Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.
    BUT
    ***You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature on iOS 8 and iCloud.com. You’ll be able to use it on OS X Yosemite later this year.
    Thanks Apple!

    A SIMPLE METHOD FOR REVERTING FROM MAVERICKS BACK TO AN EARLIER OS X VERSION
    There were so many caveats and side issues included on various instructions that didn't apply to me that I thought it was a bit confusing. However, I got the idea that restarting while pressing down the option key would give me access to the Recovery drive. I tried it and it gave me several choices. The top one was irresistible. It says "Restore From Time Machine Backup." I had done full backups using Time Machine to both an internal hard drive on my MacPro and an external hard drive just before installing Mavericks. I clicked on "Restore From Time Machine Backup" and selected the external drive since I wasn't sure that the internal drive would work. The internal backup drive is faster, but I felt the external drive was a safer bet. A window came up asking me to choose which backup I wanted to use. I picked the one I made just before installing Mavericks and it went to work. It took a couple of hours to finish, but as it restarted and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 appeared on the screen, I was totally relieved. I feel liberated. Everything works. No wacky glitches to say "gotcha!"
    When you consider all of the written instructions, many of which are very difficult to follow, this very simple method of restoration is amazingly easy. I hope it helps others who are considering moving to OS X 10.9. Just get a good external Time Machine backup of your present system before you venture.

  • I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also

    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • Intermittently using Time Machine with an External Hard Drive

    Ok, Kappy answered some questions I had about how Time Machine works with an external hard drive.
    After doing more reading about Time Machine, I found out that a person can, for example, leave the drive powered-off for a couple of weeks and only periodically or intermittently use Time Machine for back up. However, in the online article I read dated 2009, the author suggested that he didn't know how well Time Machine would work making up for the two weeks, or however long, no files had been backed up.
    Specific questions: I have 10.6.3 SL (I have not yet been brave enough to download 10.6.4) and a 4 month old iMac. 1) Have any of you had experience with only periodically using Time Machine for back up and 2) with my current system would you think I might run into some trouble if I only intermittently backed-up using Time Machine?
    Thanks for reading this and thanks if you feel my questions warrant answering.
    Note: I do have another external hard drive where I occasionally manually back-up photos, gifs, music, etc.

    If you go several days between backups, Time Machine may have to do a "deep traversal," comparing every folder on your system to the backups, to determine what's changed and needs to be backed-up. This depends on the volume of changes, so can happen after an OSX update, but in other circumstances might be after several days. This isn't a big problem, but it does take longer, and the more data you have, the longer it takes.
    Worse, after an extended period, Time Machine may do a new, full backup of your entire system, rapidly filling-up your TM drive.
    If that's the way you want to back up, Time Machine is not the backup app for you. One of it's main features is the way it can do quick hourly backups of what's changed, so you have an excellent chance of recovering a previous version (or versions) when you change or delete something in error, or a file comes up corrupted, or your Mac fails.
    Why don't you want to just leave the drive connected and Time Machine running, to protect you best, as it was designed to do?
    For alternatives designed to do less frequent backups, see Kappy's post on Basic Backup.

  • Thunderbolt display-connected keyboard fails to wake MacBook Pro

    I'm having intermittent problems with my keyboard when I use my rMacBook Pro in clamshell mode attached to an Apple Thunderbolt Display. With increasing frequency, when I sleep the Mac, close it and attach it to the display, I cannot wake up the computer using the Apple keyboard that is attached (USB) to the display. Unplugging and repluggin the keyboard does nothing.
    I can wake up the computer with a Bluetooth keyboard & login (screensaver), and the Bluetooth keyboard continues to work fine. Nut the wired keyboard never works.
    However, if I simply restart the Mac, the display-connected keyboard always begins working again.
    I belive this rules out a hardware problem, but I'm open to suggestions. (It's happened repeatedly—maybe ten times over the last several months. But with increasing frequency.)
    I can post console logs if that would help.
    Any ideas?

    Clinton,
    Thanks for your interest in my question. I actually own a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display, which works with other Retina Display Macbook Pro, but not mine anymore... That's why I suppose the problem comes from my laptop's thunderbolt ports.
    Any clue?
    Thanks very much in advance.
    Dominic

  • Publications fail intermittently on XI 3.1

    Hello,
    We have publications that fail intermittently with the error:
    An exception was caught while scheduling the publication. (FBE60203) or
    Unable to find the infostore service.  Is your CMS running and configured properly? (FBE60002)

    The publications are scheduled as follows:
    1. A program object is scheduled to kick off the publication. This program object passes values to the prompts in the publication at run time.

    We schedule a lot of reports using a similar process flow. It is only the publications that fail.
    We have a case open too. I was hoping someone had seen something like this before.
    The entire publication log from the last time one of the publications failed is below:

    Once a publication fails, the only method to ensure success is to:
    1. Restart the CMS, Publication Job Server and Webi Processing Server
    2. Recreate the publication (remove the source, add it again)
    As an aside, I've had cases open twice before for the same issue. I closed them both because I can't replicate on demand (we were on XI3.0 RTM at that point).
    I'd appreciate any help.
    Thanks.
    Srinivas

    Mike,
    I still have the case open with support on this. While I am (still) unsure as to which session has logged off, support suggested that I do the following:
    Add
    -requesttimeout 3600000 on following servers.
    1.CMS
    2.Webi Processing Server.
    3.Adaptive job Server.
    4.Publication Job server.
    5.Input Server.
    This seems to have done the job, at least for now. I am still testing though.
    If your publication does fail with such an error, restarting the SIA could be a temporary solution.
    Let me know if you need anything else.
    Best,
    Srinivas

  • I am trying to add a note in numbers when I can link an action required to my calendar... Is this possible? For example I am using numbers like a CRM and I would like to be able to have my next action required for a customer link to my calendar

    I am using numbers as a CRM and one of my columns is called 'Next Action Required' i.e
    Next Action Required
    Email Douglas on the 02-12-14 about information needed for tour
    Call Thomas 0446 393 about booking trip
    Thank you in anticipation
    Doug

    Utterly bizarre. I can't see your two follow-up posts when I'm logged in. However...
    Things would be simple if Apple implemented Data Detectors for dates in Numbers, as they have in applications like TextEdit and Script Editor. Then you’d have a system-level means of quickly moving from a selected date in your CRM spreadsheet to Calendar.
    Until that happy day arrives, though, we can approximate it with AppleScript and Automator.
    First, make sure your Numbers table is called CRM and your column has the header Next action required. (You can change these if you want but you’ll also have to modify the script.) This is the basic setup:
    Then, launch Automator and create a new workflow. From the Choose a type… dialog, specify Service.
    At the top of the workflow, “Services receives selected…” should be set to text in Numbers.app. (You'll need to choose Other... from the pop-up and then navigate to Numbers.)
    In the Library menu at the left, click on Utilities, then drag a Run AppleScript action into the main Automator pane. Delete all the boilerplate text from the script.
    It should look like this:
    Now copy and paste the script below into the Run AppleScript action.
    on run {date_string}
      tell application "Numbers"
      tell document 1
      tell active sheet
      try
      set crm_table to (item 1 of (every table whose name is "CRM"))
      on error
      display dialog "No CRM table in this sheet"
      return
      end try
      tell crm_table
      try
      set the_selection to selection range
      set the_row to row 1 of the_selection
      on error
      display dialog "Select some text in a cell"
      return
      end try
      set the_col to item 1 of (column of the_selection)
      set header_cell to cell 1 of the_col
      if value of header_cell is "Next action required" then my run_calendar(date_string)
      end tell
      end tell
      end tell
      end tell
    end run
    on run_calendar(date_string)
      try
      set date_string to date_string as string
      set real_date to date (date_string)
      on error
      set real_date to (current date)
      end try
      tell application "Calendar"
      activate
      switch view to day view
      try
      view calendar at real_date
      on error the_err
      display dialog the_err
      end try
      end tell
    end run_calendar
    Click the little hammer at the top to make sure that the script compiles (indents and colours in). If it doesn’t, you may need to sort out some line breaks in the copied and pasted script.
    Now save the workflow as Go to date in Calendar. Quit Automator.
    So what does the script do? Basically, it looks at the selected text in a Numbers cell and checks to see that the table name is “CRM” and the column header is “Next Action Required”. It then tries to convert the selected text into a valid date. If it can, it takes you to that date in Calendar. If it can’t, it takes you to today’s date. In both cases it switches Calendar to day view. You have to bear in mind that if you select all of “10/10/14 Call John re contract” it won’t understand that part of this is a date, and won’t go to October 10.  You'd have to select just "10/10/14"
    To run the Service, right-click or control-click on the selected text and go down to Services, then choose Go to date in Calendar:
    Alternatively, run it from Services in the main Numbers menu.
    You can set up a keyboard shortcut for any Service in System Preferences - Keyboard - Shortcuts. Post back if you need more info about this.
    Tested with Numbers 3.5 (2109). This will not work with Numbers '09.
    Hope this works for you, let us know how you get on.

    Well heres my story. I tried kde4 from extra the last 3 weeks and I like it. I have used xfce for the past 3 years, previous to that gnome. Tried kde but never really liked it. Now I am only using workspace, base, mutimedia and graphics.
    Here is what I like.
    1- Dolphin, awesome I have used thunar a while and it is great but I love splitview, and fish for ssh (which has been around a while I know), and the ability to mount other partitions on my hdd with a click no fstab entry or nothin'.
    2-Pretty, I've used xfce with built in compositor an love the snappiness. But I like desktop grid with kde4 and flipswitch. Compiz-fusion is cool but I prefer not to use I'll take what the DE gives. Plasmoid are cool too.
    3- Gwenview is nice too. Use to use gqview, but thumnails are nice.
    Looking forward to or lacking
    1- Keyboard shortcuts, Yes xbindkeys is there but if I have a DE I want it to do it. They just don't work now.
    2- kde4 has windows specific settings, but I can't set the opacity for particular windows , doesn't work.
    3- Ram of course is much higher in kde4, but maybe I'm getting old I just don't care as much.
