Numbers entered data dissapears when spreadsheet opened at a latter date

data entries entered into the spread sheet dissapear.
We have a spreadsheet setup with formulas to manage our cash flow. When we update it. Close it and come back the next day yesterday's entries have dissapeared
any thoughts as to why

Update. We feel the source of the problem is from the iCloud Windows App on my computer. We do not use the computer on a daily bases. When we shut it down it holds the current spreadsheet update. When we reboot the computer it updates iCloud with the spreadsheet and eliminates any changes made to it From our iPads.
Interesting. So maybe iCloud for Windows is overwriting other changes. That sounds plausible. If it turns out that was indeed the problem, hope you will have time to stop by and leave a brief note.

Modification Date changes when updating Open With?!?!

Forgive me if this is mentioned elsewhere. I have been searching these forums and not seen this problem.
If I do a 'Get Info' on a file in the Finder and change the application it opens with, the Modification Date changes to 'now'. Why in the world would this happen? This is not how 10.3.x worked, and certainly doesn't make any sense since I am not actually modifying the file. I am simply changing the OS's metadata about which app to use. This info isn't even stored in the file itself, as evidenced by burning such an document to a CD or moving it through a network server then opening it on a machine with different default apps for certain extensions.
Is this just another wacky step backwards in the world of the Apple OS X Finder, or am I missing a way to avoid this?
PowerMac G5 2.5DP Mac OS X (10.4.3)

This is not how 10.3.x worked, and certainly doesn't make any sense since I am not actually modifying the file.
Actually, I am using "Panther" now, and can confirm that changing the application to be used to open an individual file through "Get Info" does in fact change the modification date.
When the "Change all" button is used, the modification date of other files of that type won't be affected by this change since that modification is presumably made somewhere in the "Launch Services" database to set the "default" application to be used for that file type. Perhaps this is what you were thinking of.
However, for that first file (or any file changed individually), the file is in fact modified, and the "Open with" information is stored with the file, in its "resource fork". Usually, a 'usro' resource (specifying the application) and an 'icns' resource (for the app's custom icon for that file type) are added. You can try this yourself - drag any image from Safari.app to the "Desktop" and open the info window for that image - such images usually don't have a "resource fork". Make note of the file's size, then change the "Open with" application. You should immediately see an increase in the file's size (to account for the addition of the "resource fork") accompanied by an update of the file's modification date to reflect this modification.

I am using iwork 09 on my Macbook and have a problem with all documents created in Pages, numbers and keynote. When I open and one of them every document that has ever been created, even attachements to emails that have long been deleted open up. Help!

If anyone can help with this I would be eternally grateful. I would like to be able to delete a document and not have it keep coming and asking me if I would like to save it. Even when I take the do not save option it still comes back. Is it me or the software?
Thanks
Bryan

You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
Two more questions:
1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

Modified date changes when just opening PM file

We use modified dates frequently at my business. We have lots of things that reoccur only once a year, and we'd like to keep the file dates listed as such in the folder views.
All the sudden, however, Pagemaker files have started updating the modified date to the moment you touch the file, even if you make no changes. If you open it, it now becomes today's date & current time. It's really messing up our method of doing things.
It's not happening with any of our CS4 files, or any Microsoft Office files. Also, it's only happening on files stored on the server. It doesn't happen when we do a test of saving a Pagemaker file locally. The problem is, we don't store anything locally. Everything is stored on the server so everyone can access the file and so it's backed up.
We have a Windows based computer environment but an Apple server with OS 10.3.8 (Tiger--- yeah, I know, old, but it's as far as we can update that server at this time and are looking at getting a new one sometime, but it might be a year or so.)
The "modified date" problem has taken place only in the past 2 weeks. We have not done anything significant for changes or updates for quite a while on either the local computer or server ends. We restarted the server recently just to refresh things, and also added another user to the server and set some permissions for that user in the past 2 weeks.
What could be causing this all of the sudden, and how can it be fixed?

Acrobat 9 makes PDF versions 4.0 and higher. You need a PDF version 5.0 to handle transparencies well. PDF version 4.0 doesn't handle transparency effects well at all.
Pagemaker needs Acrobat 5 to be able to directly export PDF's with custom job settings. It only generates a PDF version 4.0, but works for our needs in Pagemaker.
I choose to keep both Distiller versions to make our work easier. When you have 20 ads open in Pagemaker, and you send the first one as a postscript through the print window, it sets up the "File, Export" in Pagemaker to use the correct PDF job setting, and then you can just do "File, Export to PDF" for the next 19 ads and it makes perfect PDF's. Works slick instead of having to make postscripts of all 20 ads first and then run them through Distiller. If you only have Distiller 9 installed, it doesn't let you select any custom job settings from your Distiller. Crazy, I know, but that's what I've figured out we have to do to get it to work. Have to have Distiller 5.0 to control PDF settings in Pagemaker and still be able to export from the file menu directly to PDF.
Distiller 9 is used for all other more advanced design pieces created in InDesign or Photoshop that are saved as a postscript first and PDF's are made the long way in those cases (running postscript through Distiller 9 at the end).

Help! Text is dissapearing when re-opening pdf docs

I'm useing Windows XP- Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro version 8.1.4. When I export a document to a pdf and save it, then I go to the docuemt and open it for the first time- everything is fine. But as soon as I close it and re-open it- whether I make changes and save it or not. All text is gone. If I make any comments in it- they are still there- but no original text. This just started happening. I can open any pdf's before April without any problems. I just updated today from 8.1.2 to 8.1.4 hoping this would fix my problem- but to no availe(sp?). Can anybody please help me? This probelm is on all computers wiht Acrobat pro- not just mine.

I'm useing a program called topguard. There is an export to pdf on it. We've been useing it for over a year now without any problems. Here are the steps we take:
1- In the topguard program- export to pdf
2- Go to the saved pdf file and open it (Opens in Acrobat pro)
3- Everything is good- make a comment if necessary for gaps in time using the Sticky (comment) feature
4- Save the file.
5- Boss wants to view the file- so he goes and opens it up. No text is visible except the little sticky notes
I have no idea what has happened to the program. Hope this helps Thanks for everything!

Currently I am on 8.0.1 but still why I am getting "Your firefox is not upto date" message when I open firefox??

Do I need to do anything different? Why it is telling that my firefox is not upto date..
BTW, we love you guys. You do a very hard work. Keep it up guys we are with you on this project

What are you using for your Home Page?
This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

I open a calendar on a vendor website and when i try to change the date Firefox crashes.

I use a vendor's website to change retails on products that I sell. The default date for the changes is the next day. I can make the changes happen on a future date. When I open the calendar to change the date, Firefox immediately crashes when I click on a future date.

i have had a similar issue that u r describing with my ipad, but wirh a slight variation. my calendar is working fone, but if i try to use the search function, my calendar completely freezes, and the only way i have been able to resolve this is to go into my settinsgs tab, then go to set the date, and set the date to a prior date. for example, i was stuck on jan 7th 2014, and when i changed the date to a date in 2011, the calendar unfroze and allowed me to jump to any date i wanted. i was then able to go into the settings tab and enter and set my ipad to the correct date. there seems to be a defect on the ios i am using, 4.xx, with using the search function in the upper right hand corner. the only way to prevent this is to refrain from using the search function within the calendar.

APP-INV-05447: No open period found for date entered

Hi All
I try to do Inter-Organization Transfer in OPM. But I got this error "APP-INV-05447: No open period found for date entered".
What shall I do for this error?
I controlled Inventory Calendar. The period is open.
Thanks

Hi,
I got the same problem. Pleas tell me what's your solution?
Parts Requirement Order stuck in Transaction Interface with the error
" No open period found for date entered
No open period found for date entered
Transaction processor error
No open period found for date entered
No open period found for date entered
Transaction process".
Details are as follows:
Transaction is Done on 30-NOV-2009.
Source Org Period is open on 30-NOV-2009
Destination Org Period is closed on 30-NOV-2009.
Due to destination Org is closed, this transactions stuck in interface.
I have opened the Cost Periods (DEC Month) for both Source and Destination Org, and resubmitted all lines after updating Transaction date to 01-DEC-2009. Still transaction could not go through.
How should I handle this error?
Regards,
Chakry.

When I open numbers, my spreadsheet appears blank. yet, when I moveacrossa row, data appears in the formula bar. How can I fix it so I can see the sheet?

When I open numbers, my spreadsheet appears blank. yet, when I moveacrossa row, data appears in the formula bar. How can I fix it so I can see the sheet?

I had the same issue for several days (and several reboots). During that time I found I could print the spread sheet as a pdf, though I couldn't see it except cell by cell.
Suddenly the problem disappeared. I never did know why the problem appeared nor why it disappeared.
In the interim I ran the disk utility several times and repaired permissions twice. That may have helped, but I don't know.

Numbers for iPad crashes when entering data

I have the same issue as described in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2603291&tstart=0
Basically Numbers crashes almost every time I tap on a cell to input data. It doesn't seem to happen if the cell contains text, or a cell that is the output only of a formula, but it does crash (almost always) whenever I tap a number that's an input into a formula, or a cell with star-value. Sometimes Numbers crashes when I tap an empty cell (even if there is no formula attached to it), but not always.
This occurs in every spreadsheet that I use, including the default "Getting Started" spreadsheet, spreadsheets that I created using templates found in Numbers, and spreadsheets that I imported from my MacBook created in (the most recent version of) Numbers. It's my perception that it first occurred infrequently in Numbers 1.1, and got worse over time.
I use Numbers mostly for a single spreadsheet that keeps track of my invoices. I never use any graphics in the spreadsheets. The formulas are all pretty simple.
(The spreadsheet is used to track sales, so each line has a cell for the dates of order and payment, the number of items, the name of the item, the items total, and at the bottom there's the invoice total. Small stuff like that)
Right now there are about 12 invoices in the spreadsheet. Each invoice is a separate sheet on the same spreadsheet, and I periodically make a duplicate sheet in which I can change some of the values and text (btw, text boxes are unaffected). There are like on average 30 populated cells per sheet, so the total is like 400 populated cells on this spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, due to this bug, I cannot use Numbers for this purpose at all. I can make a duplicate of a (blank or filled-in) Spreadsheet, but as soon as I start adding values to the chart, the screen goes black and I am returned to the iPad home screen. This problem also occurs on my very first invoices, even though they were created just fine at the time (using Numbers 1.0).
I only have four other spreadsheet files in Numbers and they all suffer the same problem. One is the default Numbers "Getting Started" spreadsheet. It crashes on the "Table Basics" spreadsheet when I tap the pink box as instructed.
I created a "Budget" spreadsheet from Numbers's templates. It crashes when I enter data in the "Budget" column in the first ("Categories") chart, but not the "Actual" and "Difference" columns. It also crashes each time I enter data into the "Amount" column of the second ("Transactions") chat, but not any of the other columns ("Date," "Description," and "Category"). So, this spreadsheet is unusable on the iPad.
(I did export this sheet to Numbers on my Mac, and it worked fine.)
I created two other spreadsheets in Numbers about a month ago and I had no problems. They are just two-column charts that I printed out to display some information. One has 30 populated cells, the other has about 100. On both of them, I can edit a cell that has text-only, but I cannot enter any data into an empty cell! It crashes! Also, FYI, there are Japanese characters in the text-fields.
I hope this is not too much information or too little. Just trying to get some help for myself or to help whoever might work on this problem.
Any ideas? Any more info needed? This is on a 3G 32gb iPad using version 3.2.2, and Numbers 1.2.

The issues you describe have nothing to do with the other posting you are referencing. They state they have the following problem:
(numbers on ipad) drops several of the important features that I created in the laptop version such as headers and footers, fonts, steppers, sliders, etc.
It sounds like your having no data entry at all. There is a known issue with certain formulas causing crashes, but not every data entered like you seem to be stating.
I might have missed it, but did you delete and reinstall Numbers on your ipad?
If not, please write down EXACTLY the steps used to reproduce the problem, then go to http://www.apple.com/feedback and input this into a bug report for ipad numbers. Be very specific as to the steps involved to get to the crash point.
Thanks

I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel. When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes. How do I fix this?

I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel. When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes. How do I fix this?

If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers. You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively. If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.

When I open Numbers it displays every spreadsheet I've ever worked on. I have 100 windows displaying spreadsheets. What am I doing wrong? How to I turn this feature off?

When I open Numbers it displays every spreadsheet I have evr worked on! The screen fills with 100 windows showing different spreadsheets. How do I turn this feature off?

As Jerry said, if you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. If you don't want to have to close everything first try Lion Tweaks or the latest version of TinkerTool. Both have the option to turn off the resume feature for individual applications.

Why, when I launch Numbers, is the last-used spreadsheet automatically opened?

When I open Number, either by using the dock, by clicking the application icon or clicking a Numbers document, teh last document I used is always opened. Why is this? How do I prevent it?
Thanks

It is a new feature in Lion.
System Preferences >> General Tab >> Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - uncheck this box.
Did it help?
In fact, it doesn't help because, as I already wrote, when we quit, the app automatically re-activate the feature.
If we apply a real Quit, there is a checkbox in the quit dialog. We must uncheck it to really diasble the feature.
If we restart there is no such a checkox allowing to disable.
I will report this boring inconsistency but there is an alternate way to disable the feature :
press the option key during the quit process.
I used this one several times today and it behave flawlessly.

When i open numbers it opens all my spreadsheets cant work out why is it a Glitch ?

Hi when open my numbers programme it opens all my spredasheets I have to close around 70 and counting sheets before i create or edit a new one, can anybody make a suggestion on how to fix this ?

If you Close your sheets before Quitting Numbers they won't reopen the next time you start Numbers. If they are left open when you Quit, the will reopen.

HT1338 pdf attachments and excel spreadsheet attachments are opening as winmail.dat and the pages are blank when you open them.

All of a sudden the e-mail attachments I send to my MacBook Pro from my PC Laptop open up as winmail.dat as a blank sheet of paper. This only started happening within the last week. Before that everything was fine. I check my PC and confirmed the attachments are set up to be sent in HTML. Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue.
Luckily I have only migrated my own mailbox to office365.
Tried both true and false TNEFEnabled on both onpremise and office365 via powershell and confirmed that both have been applied.
If I send the email as a plain text then the attachment works ok. If I send it as HTML then I get winmail.dat.
The above KB doesnt really help me, sending plain text emails is like going back to the dark ages!
I am sending from outlook to outlook (I send from my external email address, to my work email address and visa-versa)
If someone with an onpremise mailbox sends me an email, the attachment works ok.
If someone sends me an attachment via hotmail, the attachment works ok.
It seems to only effect emails I send to myself through outlook, i am sending it through a POP3 account to our onpremise exchange 2010 which forwards the email to office365
