Numbers '08 - Why can't I put a formula in the header row? i.e. in cell H1  =SUM(H2:H46)

When I try to add the SUM formula to H1 and press ENTER, the formula automatically moves to every cell within column H and disappears from H1. If I instead press the Function icon then SUM, while in the H1 cell, the formula automatically moves to the last cell in the H column.

It seems that you discovere the wonderful feature which was dropped by iWork '09.
Applying a Formula Once to Cells in a Column or Row
When a table has header cells, you can use them to quickly apply a formula to all the
cells in a row or column. The values in the cells are recomputed using the formula. This
formula is called a header formula.
To apply a header formula to cells in a column or row:
1 Select the header cell for the column or row.
2 Open the Formula Editor. For example, type the equal sign (=).
3 Type the formula you want to apply to each cell in the column or row.
For example, to assign values to the cells of column C that are five times greater than
the corresponding cell in column B, you’d use the formula B*5 or B:B*5.
The formula is duplicated in all the cells in the column or row. In this example, cell C4
would contain the value computed by using the formula B4*5.
4 Click the Accept button or press Return or Enter to save the formula.

  • Why can't I insert a table in the header?

    This is possible in Word... why not in Pages?

    Because Microsoft did not write Pages, and Pages was never designed to be an MS Word clone. Totally different application intentions, and customer requirements listening commitment.
    Peter's advice, or use the free LibreOffice (MS Office replacement), or Word in Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.7.

  • Why can't I insert an image into the header in Pages 5.0.1?

    In previouis versions of Pages, I was able to insert an image into a Header or Footer.
    This action does not appear an option in Pages 5.0.1.
    Am I missing something?
    I must say, I do not like the NEW interface. Much has been lost with the transition to the Cloud.
    I like the concept of using my iPad Air and my desktop, however functionality has been tossed out for deference to the Tablet.

    KT,
    Use a "Floating Graphic" and send it to the Section Master in the Arrange > Section Master menu. Floating is called Stays With Page now. Don't worry about it not being in the Header field. It will serve the purpose.

  • Why can't apple put a simple audible low battery indicator on the iphone?

    I get so tired of having my iphone shut down on me mid-conversation. My screen is black and up to my ear; my phone is in my purse while I'm talking on my blue tooth and also has a black screen; or my phone is on my hip with a black screen while I talk with my earphones. How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen? That information would be very helpful if I weren't on my blue tooth. Actually, that 2% low battery notification would very helpful to me if my phone weren't up to my ear with a black screen. Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?

    " How in the heck I am going to READ a low batter indicator on my phone behind a black screen?"
    You cannot.
    " Why can't they put a simple audible low battery indicator on the phone?"
    They can.  They have simply chosen not to do so.

  • Why can I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

    Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

    I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.

  • Why can't i put my emails into folders

    why can't i put my emails into folders

    You must have an IMAP email accounts in order to create additional folders in the mail app on the iPad. There is now way to create folders locally like you can on a computer if you are using a POP email account.
    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • Why Can't I put whatever photos I want on my IPAD?

    That's it. That is my question. Why can't I put more photos on my ipad from whatever computer I feel like it without having to delete the photos on there? It is incredibly frustrating.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • If the Airport card is removable... why can't we put a new "N" version in?

    Why can't we put a new card that supports "N" in our recently bougth (under a year old) computers?
    What I dispise is that I personally own 15 Macs and not all of them are the latest models. So this leaves me with a "mixed" network with many of them using "G" cards.
    This slows things down, and in the case of my home network (5 macs including a trusty G4 imac that is in the kitchen serving up music throughout the house) I feel that I will never be able to use the abilities of the "N" networks
    This could lead to the failure of the iTV / Apple TV product for many of us. I am a Mac addict from day one and buy the latest models of everything, but held back on this because it would not work well on a mixed network.
    I hope someone at Apple reads this or realizes this. We need to be able to pop out the Airport card, pay for a new one and pop in the "N" one. This allows us to stay current with the new technology.
    It is not like we don't already know how to install them.
    Does anyone out there sell an aftermarket version? I had heard that Belkin might offer one, but had not seen anything yet.

  • Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

    why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

    Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
    I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
    Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
    Go To the Artwork tab
    Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
    you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

  • Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone?

    Why can I no longer text message on the larger format by turning my phone on its side?

    Hi,
    Since iChat 6 the SMS option in the Menus has disappeared.
    However if you add the number to a Buddy List as if it were  Screen Name but with the leading +1 (as in +1234567890) it will work over AIM.
    It only works to US phones on some Carriers.

  • This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I click and find things at an instance like I could with the Google Toolbar?

    This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I can click and find things at an instance, like I could with the Google Toolbar?
    Example:- I've just spent 20 minutes looking how to 'translate' after I installed that add-on, there it was! A tiny little icon in the bottom right of the screen, I find the new set up very messy and very hard to navigate. Why can't I have the same set up on my toolbar that I've had for the last ten years? It's that bad that I'm even considering going back to I.E.
    Jon T

    Thanks but you're only telling me stuff I already know, that dosen't explain how I get the new version of Firefox to look neat and tidy like it always used to. I can no longer have all my icons that I use, I can no longer access things as easily as I could and the whole thing looks very bare and basic now! A bigger mess than even Google Chrome.
    I've spent most of this evening trying to get stuff back that is now lost because of this 'upgrade' and I'm now giving up with it. Well done! You've totally ruined what was the best browser for years.

  • Why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?

    I love the thumbnail idea, but why can't I just right click on the thumbnails and set the websites I want?
    Why do i have to wait for a recent one to come up?
    Of the 9 available, I would like to set 6 to website i can input by right clicking it and leave the rest for the recently visited.
    I ho[e you include that feature in your next update.
    Thank you
    P.S. 2 more issues
    1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
    2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
    I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
    *browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
    *browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
    So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.
