Numbers Doc stuck on updating

I have a numbers document that I created on an IPAD1 (IOS 5.01) and synced to ICLOUD. I've been using my IPHONE 4 (no S) to update the sheet but today it refused to upload the updated copy. I reset all settings on both devices, same but now the document appears to be trying to update on the IPHONE and IPAD both.
I logged onto the ICLOUD web site and the document is there, but stuck on 'updating' and wont change. Since its updating, I cant download it. The only option it gives me is to delete it.
Any ideas on how I can get this file to sync or allow me to download it? The document itself isnt very large.... it has 5 sheets and 4 forms in it. Not alot of data entered in it.
Thanks,

This is happening to me on my iPhone 4 using numbers and iCloud as well. The first time it happened I tried several times resetting, rebooting, relaunching etc. I discovered as Winston states I could get it out via iTunes. But I also discovered weirdly enough that I could continue to open, edit and close and duplicate the spreadsheet the whole time. I was also able to email the spreadsheet just fine from numbers while it was open too. It just seams stuck updating the changes. I ultimately deleted the spreadsheet and reuploaded like Winston described. Problem is now its doing it for the second time this week with the same spreadsheet. I am suspecting some sort of iCloud iFail. Since I've been using iOS 5, numbers, this spreadsheet, iCloud and this iPhone all for months with no changes till this week.

  • Numbers doc on my iPhone does not update on my iPad and vice versa.  Why?

    I have the same Numbers doc on my iPhone and my iPad.  iCloud backup is turned "on" for both devices.  Whenever I update the document on one device, it does not update on the other device.  Is there something else that I need to do to make automatic updates happen?  Many thanks, Mark

    This solved the problem.  "Use iCloud" was turned on in one device but not in the other.   Many, many, thanks!!!

  • Problem reopening numbers Docs after HD change

    Hey guys - I just updated my Macbook HD to a SSD and when I re-open any numbers docs they are illegible, totally white and impossible to edit by colour. Yet when I do q quick preview (press 'space' over document in finder) they look normal and I can export them as normal-looking PDFs. Any ideas? I'm in the middle of my taxes!

    it could, but doubtful.
    it's simply known and accepted that 7200rpm drives generally are louder and present more vibration than the slower spinning drives.
    plus you have 250GB more weight inside that drive spinning around when going from a 250GB to a 500GB drive. more weight spinning will create more vibration.
    geez, do ya think you get gigglebytes out of thin air or something? those suckers are heavy.
    kidding aside, 7200rpm drives will generally be louder and vibrate more.

  • When downloading a numbers doc from iCloud it opens as a pdf in Preview...am i missing something? i need it to open in Numbers

    Are changes I make to iWork documents on my iOS device automatically made available on my other mobile devices and computer?
    Once you set-up iCloud on your mobile devices, the changes you make to iWork documents on one device are automatically made available on your other mobile devices. For the changes to appear on your computer, you must manually download the updated document(s) from icloud.com/iwork. The reverse is also true: for changes made to iWork documents on your computer to appear on your iOS device, you must upload the updated document(s) toicloud.com/iwork using your computer’s web browser.
    Are you using this scheme ?
    I guess that the answer is : NO

  • How do I keep a numbers doc in iCloud as well as on my desktop?

    I created a numbers doc on my macbook air and then decided to save it on icloud. But now I have lost it from my documents. Is there any way of keeping a copy of it on my computer such that when I make any changes, it will also update the copy which is on icloud?

    Files stored in iCloud are stored locally as well as on some remote Apple server - just not on the desktop. You cannot keep the file on the desktop but you should be able to locate it in your Mobile Documents folder, make an alias, and put the alias on your desktop.
    The Mobile Documents folder is in your Library folder (hold option while selecting the Go menu in the Finder) and your Numbers documents are located in com~apple~Numbers

  • Why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?

    why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?  I have downloaded Maverick.  I had the same problem with Pages at first.  Is there any way to get my spreadsheets back?  I'm nervous about upgrades anymore.

    If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to  3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
    Numbers 2.3                              Numbers 3.0
    Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files.  If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
    If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

  • Having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this

    having a problem with dates when I send my numbers doc to excel. dates are all out and that they have to cut and paste individual entries onto their spreadsheet. Any idea how I can prevent this.
    I'm using Lion on an MBP and Numbers is the latest version

    May you give more details about what is wrong with your dates ?
    M…oSoft products aren't allowed on my machines but I use LibreOffice which is a clone of Office.
    When I export from Numbers to Excel and open the result with LibreOffice, the dates are correctly treated.
    To be precise, dates after 01/01/1904 are correctly treated. dates before 01/01/1904 are exported as strings but, as it's flagged during the export process, it's not surprising.

  • How can I insert a number of photos in a numbers doc without the file becoming too large?

    How can I insert a number of photos into a numbers doc without the file becoming too large?

    Use smaller photos.
    Seriously, reduce the file size of the photos in Preview, PhotoShop, iPhoto or other application before inserting tehem into the Numbers document.

  • I have updated to IOS 6, the App store won't work, is stuck in update mode for 1 day and the battery now goes flat in 3 hrs without use. Can I go back to IOS 5?

    Hi, I was forced to upgrade to IOS 6 due to a restore.
    Since the upgrade, I have lost information, the App store is stuck in update mode, my battery drains in hours and many more problems.
    Is there a way to go back to the VERY RELIABLE IOS 5? This phone is nearly useless now.
    Thanks

    Just FYI - the situation is resolved.  I downloaded the new snow leopard 10.6.8 update for safari and now itunes works.  I have no idea what that has to do with anything - but I saw it on another forum and it actually worked.

  • How can I include the document name/path in my printed Numbers doc?

    Hello, Apple gurus...
    So here's my (hopefully) easy question: is it possible to insert (and then print) a document's filename/path into the footer (or anywhere)? I want to be able to easily see where the file lives in the printed version of my Numbers doc. I've found discussions that recommend using menu INSERT > FILENAME, but I don't have those options.
    Thanks!
    Erik

    In the new version of Numbers this option is not available.  You will have to type the file name into the header yourself.  You can post feedback to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"
    or use Numbers2.3 which should be in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09" if you previously had it installed

  • How do I remove e-mail addresses from a csv file referencing a numbers doc

    Greetings! I hope someone out there can help me. I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to numbers...
    My Issue:
    I'm attempting to sending out a large e-mail blast via software called hoolie, it seems to be working amazingly well except for the fact that I've reached our Gmail accounts daily limit which I had zero idea existed.
    So about 1100 emails were sent and I still have to send about 1500 emails left to be sent. The software has no ability to resend to the failed e-mail addresses, so I'm left to my own devices...
    My Goal:
    I want to be able to subtract out the 1100 e-mail address from the csv file I have with all the addresses. Once I subtract out the e-mail addresses I can then resend the blast and throttle it so it takes a day or so and won't freak out google gmail...
    How can I accomplish this? I have the orginal CSV file with all the names and e-mail addresses and I have a new numbers doc in which I pasted the e-mails that were succesfully sent...
    Thoughts? Suggetsions?
    thanks in advance!

    Are you suggesting that it sent it to a random sample of the email addresses, that it did not start at the beginning and go row by row until it failed?  If that is the case, you can import the CSV file into Numbers, paste your list of sent addresses in another column or another table of that document, then use COUNTIF to look for duplicates.
    The best I can do is an example.Your table will no doubt be different so you'll have to rejigger the formula.
    Importing your CSV file will create column B
    Insert two new columns, C and D
    Use Copy/Paste to copy/paste your list of sent addresses from your other document into column D
    The formula in column C is =IF(COUNTIF(D,B)>0,"Was Sent","")
    Once it has done its thing, sort by column C to get all the "Was Sent" rows together. Delete them. Delete column C, Delete column D. Share as a CSV.

    Messages stuck in updating after Yosemite install.  Tried re-install of Yosemite and quit messages, still unable to access.

    Hi,
    Go to the ~/Library/Attachments folder.  (well it should be a folder).
    If it is not a Folder then rename it and create a New folder with the same name.
    restart Messages.
    Or if you have a Time Machine backup replace the Non folder item with an Original from just before the update.

  • Numbers spreadsheets won't update...

    Numbers spreadsheets won't update to iCloud from iPad2. Anyone know the solution to this problem?

    I have upgraded my Ipad to IOS 6 and now I cannot open my spreadsheet on Numbers. This is very annoying as my last back-up of this spreadsheet is rather old. I would appreciate any advice. I tried to email the spreadsheet and I also tried to open it in iCloud - can't do anything there either.

  • Can I send a numbers doc to someone who does not have numbers

    can I send a numbers doc to someone who only has Excel or anyone who does not have numbers?

    You can email the document but it is not likely they will be able to open it.  There are export options from Numbers:

    I hope this helps

  • Stuck in "Updating Assets" window

    Stuck in "Updating 3 assets" window when opening site. I have to force close. Done that numerous times.   I've restarted computer, same thing.   Tried opening a recent backup version, still "updating".  ( My Muse is not up to date... waiting for xmas for new computer to update to necessary OSX, etc.).  Help?

    Running v7.4 build 30.
    Well that worked!! Yeah!! Great solution ----  Except, when I went to relink the first asset, it got hung up trying to update them all:
    Sooo, I force-quit, renamed my source folder again, restarted.  It worked, I got in. 
    I deleted what I thought might be a corrupted file (from what I was working on last week).  Then went to relink an asset.  It got hung again, this time with slightly less assets:
    Is there anyway to stop Muse from trying to Relink automatically?  I can't delete them all!  Do you think it is a corrupted file? 
    (Fortunately, this is my own personal website (I am a part-time graphic designer), which I just launched after procrastinating for about a year. I do use Muse for about 7 client's websites.  This one: www.grayrockgraphics.com.  There are some things I really need to change, but at least it's finally up.... )
