Numbers app is stuck updating, can't access important files. Any suggestions?

I transferred all of my NECESSARY & IMPORTANT client files to Numbers from Excel, I've been using it for about 1-1/2 years, after the last update of iOS 7 it started acting up. Then 3-1/2 weeks ago I opened it and while accessing a file it got stuck, some files are white and I can open them. Other files are gray and I can't open them. The page goes white when opening it up instead of just opening, there us a delay the nut opens.
I have tried various things. 1) Rebooting, 2) hard reboot (holding down the off button and home key until the apple icon appears), 3) tried putting it in Airplane mode-reboot-then connect to computer & iTunes-then rebooted. None of those things worked.
I use these files for my business & I am self-employed, some files I can't access. I think iOS 7.0.4 stinks it has been nothing but problems for me.

You need to be on OS X Lion 10.7 to use icloud, and if your Word and Excel are older, like Microsoft Office 2004 or earlier, they won't work on Lion, because OS X Lion no longer supports PowerPC code. Snow Leopard, for example, included the Rosetta emulator to run PowerPC code on Intel systems. Rosetta isn't available with Lion.
You can buy the Apple programs Pages and Numbers, to replace Word and Excel, from the App store for $19.95 each. They will read Word and Excel formats. Or you can buy a more recent version of Microsoft Office, with Office 2011 being the current version. You can also install NeoOffice or OpenOffice which are common-source office software suites, available in free and pay versions (typically newest is pay, one level back is free).

Can't access import file in mail

i recently lost my hard drive and after recovering everything from time machine, i can't get at old email in the import folder in mail. it shows almost 3000 messages in it, but the folder is not highlighted and i can't get into it.
any thoughts anyone???
thanks.....jay

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

All of a sudden, after upgrading to lion, i can't view wmv files, any suggestions?

can't view wmv as a result of upgrading to lion , any suggestions?

Alas, http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/tech-specs.htm says support for Lion coming soon. They are even Microsoft's own recommendation for WMV. Thankfully several virtualization engines are already Lion compatible. See my FAQ*:

and this page for Lion compatible applications:

I'm on Vacation with no access to my Mac. But had tried Sync. My software update is iOS 6.0.1. I've tried another WiFi network. I read your comment of deleting Apps for stuck update. So removed all Apps! Can't even install Free Apps. Now using my Kindle

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

My iphone4s can not update the apps while it could download the apps. It shows that the update can not access to itune store.

Many people (including me) are having the same problem at present. There are other threads in the message board with the same complaint.
There is nothing you can do about it except wait for Apple to fix the problem.

My PC can see the laptop in question but it can't access the files.
I've updated iTunes to and ATV2 to the lastest version. My laptop is running Windows7 64bit.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume you taken the step of restarting the laptop.
Have you checked your security software is allowing access for iTunes, which security software are you using.

During restore my 3GS has been stuck in Apps loading for over 30 minutes now.. Any suggestions? Thanks

During restore my 3GS has been stuck in Apps loading for over 30 minutes now.. Any suggestions? Thanks ps.. I am holding off buying 4S until bugs worked out..

The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity

Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when I am away? how?

Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can.
You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

Can I access local files?

I am writing an application using Adobe Air that will have to utilize and store media files locally on a user's computer. My marketing team now believes that a downloadable application that will be installed on a user's computer will be a dealbreaker for some users due to the fear of a virus, so now they are suggesting that we will have better sales numbers if people just need to log into a website to use the application. No problem, Air applications can be embedded into a website. But can an Air application embedded in a browser still store and manipulate files on a user's computer? Storing media files for a large number of individuals can become cost prohibitive, so rather than store them online, we would like to create a folder on a user's system to organize their files. Is this possible with a web-embedded Air application?
Thanks.

AIR applications are always installed on the user's computer. You cannot run an AIR application on a website. On a web page, you can include a link to download or install an AIR application.
AIR applications can access local files.
Flash Player applications can also access local files, but the user first grants permission. For example, see the FileReference.load() and FileReference.save() methods (added in Flash Player 10):

InDesign CC, can't export to html, can't access unneeded file

In the latest build of InDesign CC (July 2014), the export process to HTML has changed. You used to be able to export a book directly to filtered HTML files. Now the option is no longer in the Book menu, and you must go through the main menu, which does not allow filtered HTML option. I keep getting a crash when I open the resulting HTML file, "Can't access .jar file from SiteBuilder,"--a Yahoo HTML creation program, which I formerly used. The book file contains only embedded jpg photo files and InDesign documents for chapters, but it calls for this unrelated and unconnected .jar file. Also, It is impossible to choose the "From Selection" option, only the "From Document" option, so I can't export the whole book into HTML, which previous versions enabled me to do.I'm stuck, and now Adobe has stopped offering phone support to subscribers. After wasting a whole day on this single issue, I'm fed up. Is it time to scrap InDesign? Also, how do you edit an e-pub file created by InDesign? (It misplaces the photo captions) Dreamwdeavce should be able to do it, but I can't figure out how. Any help would be appreciated. Peter

Export the file from ID as an .idml file and open that resaving as an.indd file with a new name. That should strip out the reference to the unused file.

HT1145 I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.

I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac. How do I see them? I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.

You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300?locale=en_US
Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.
