Numbers hangs when trying to move rows.

Numbers hangs with the comment 'Preparing to paste....' when I try to move rows. When I click on the screen it goes blank and nothing else happens.
I don't appear to have any  formulas or references in the spreadsheet that might 'upset' the program. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi T19,
Numbers does not handle large tables well.
up to GL in the columns is 194 columns (numbering the columns by adding 1 to the preceding column number, and hiding most columns to make the table fit into a smaller screen shot):
194 columns times 35 rows = 6790 cells.
Is there some way to reorganise your data into several small tables?
Regards,
Ian.

    Is there some kind of Bridge patch or update?
    Yes, if you recently reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge, you MUST update both, as well as the Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in.

  • Drag and drop not working.  When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program.  Happens in finder numbers and firefox

    Drag and drop not working.  When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program.  Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
    This is a serious pain.
    Please help.

    Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

  • Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iphone backup.

    Itunes hangs when trying to uncheck encryption for iPhone backup. The iTunes software becomes unusable and unresponsive after entering correct password (only set up today) All i want to do is backup my iPhone before trying update to the latest ios. I have tried uninstalling all Apple software and re-installing, all unsuccessfully - still have the same problem! Essentially i have to use ctr+alt+del to even close the iTunes program, so I'm assuming there must be some sort of corruption with the encryption / password setup - neither of which have been used at all, all previous backups are on iCloud and don't have encryption. I obviously don't want to attempt a backup with these sort of issues occurring as i don't think i could trust it. Can anyone suggest a way to fix the problem, Ive tried googling all afternoon without any success - most answers I can find relate to people who have lost their passwords but don't have the software issues i am having.

    Further to the issue - i thought I'd try and run an encrypted backup for fun (since that's the only option available atm) and the backup hangs as well - in fact it doesn't even technically start other than saying its backing up. The progress bar never moves at all?

  • A PDF file was filed in documents. when trying to move this file to trash i got response : operation can't be completed because the itempdf is in usen

    A PDF file was filed in DOCUMENTS, when trying to move this PDF file to trash I got the response: "Operation can't be completed because the item ..... is in use".
    How do I get this document deleted from the system?

    The suggestion to move items from documetns to desktop and then moving to trash is the one that worked.
    I have now one other question and that is that during my strugle with the original problem I called with Apple helpline and there they suggested to move the application "Preview" to trash and then the  issue would be solved. I did so but clearly the issue was not solved.
    Bottom line is that with your solution I got rid of the PDF files, but I still need to reinstall the Preview application. Do you have suggestions how to do that??

  • Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup

    Aperture 3.5.1 on OS X 10.9.2 hangs when trying to update the backup. I get the rotating beach ball cursor for hours but not get the confirmation dialog known from 3.4.2 aksing whether I really want to back up.
    On old Mac Mini with OS X 10.6.8 and Aperture 3.4.2 there was no such issue.

    Creating a new vault and populating it always works but then turning around and updating that vault hangs? The drive is formatted OS X Extended, correct?
    That is strange. Before abandoning vaults, they should and do work in 3.5.1, I'd try this
    Run a library repair on the library. I always do this now as it seems to cut down and hangs when updating a vault.
    Before starting the vault update open the Aperture activity window Aperture->Window->Show Activity.
    Now do the update.  I can't give you anything specific to look for, just try to get an idea of where the hang is happening (if it happens after the repair).
    As for rsync, it should work OK but keep in mind as a lot of the data now in 3.5 is in database files any change to Aperture will result in reync seeing a lot of files has having been changed so I'm not sure now much of a savings that will be over just copying the library. To be honest I've never tried rsync on an Aperture library so this may not be an issue but something to keep in mind. BTW do you have much rsync experience? It can be a bit of a bear to setup if you're not familiar with it.
    Another option is to look at one of the cloning programs Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They have the ability to make clones and then update only the changes since the last clone operation. In reality, I believe one or both actually use rsyn as the backend but give you a much nicer way to set it up and schedule it.

  • Using Lightroom 5.5 and Photoshop CC2014. Images no longer open in Photoshop when using "edit in" command. Photoshop opens but no image when trying to move between LR and PS. Any suggestions?

    1. You have allowed Apple to auto-upgrade your Mac
    Turn off auto-update here:
    Menu > Apple > System Preferences > App Store
    2. The Icons on your dock are Aliases not real apps
    They point to where the apps really are which is:
    For Pages 5.2.2 in your Applications folder
    For Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder
    3. You are alternately opening documents randomly with either version of Pages
    Both Pages have the same file extension .pages and there is no certainty as to which version opens them when you double click on a file.
    right click on the file and choose which version you want to open it
    4. Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files
    Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, and will convert and change Pages '09 and Word files.
    It will also auto save opened files into its own format.
    You can export these back to Pages '09 if you need to:
    Menu > File > Export > Pages '09
    5. Yes Pages 5.2.2 is a marked downgrade
    Pages 5.2.2 has a few improvements but has had over 110 features removed and is buggy.
    Sooner or later you will not be able to open a file or have it damaged in some way and it has a complex obscure file format largely incompatible with everything else, so you will not be able to rescue the contents of your file. If Pages or some third party server/eMail don't trash your file, eventually Apple will do it for you as it did when it released Pages 5 last September. I recommend using Pages '09 for the time being whilst you look for viable alternatives, some are here already and some are on the way.

    Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting.  Applies for any of the Save options.  "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding."  Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files.  Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved.  I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

    What makes a file unreadable or readable when trying to move it into the library

    Any more info? It could be many things including what you are doing - you do not "move" anything to the iPhoto library - you use iPhoto (or image capture) to "import" into iPhoto
    We know nothing except what you tell us so full information and correct terminology is critical to getting valid answers - the more that is left to one guessing and assuming the better the chance of a bad answer

    I hear 3rd Party, or HW Raid 0/1/5/10 are OK, but 6 months is the absolute most I got out of my many screaming RAID setups before they completely lost it!
    Bummer. I'm not really doing this for speed though, just for total storage volume and constant, worry-free, no-brainer back-up. I guess RIAD in general is something I need to study up on. Would a simple mirror of one 500GB drive to another (back-up) - and do that twice - be a better, more reliable way to go?
    I've used Tri-Backup3/4 for years for Backups, it's fast, automatic, reliable, works in the background if you wish...
    Back-up software always seemed to have some kind of a hiccup to it, but I'll certainly look into Tri-Backup3/4. I used to Retrospect years ago, a rather fussy thing if I recall.
    Now, on the Safe Mode boot - not a success BUT a different result!
    I got the -36 again, but this time it was the external drive FILE that errored, not the OS-resident drive.
    In other words, pre-Safe Mode the error said "...because some data in "ZillaHAL" could not be read or written." (ZillaHAL is my OS-X drive).
    In Safe, it read, "...because some data in "WinXP Pro.vmem" could not be read or written."
    "WinXP Pro.vmem" is the virtual machine file - which basically is a simple Mac volume (folder) containing all of the files to run my XP virtual machine.
    Also, this time, a file* did manage to remain on the external drive whereas before, after the error, no file at all remained.
    * a generic icon appears, but it shows a size of 16+GBs. The actual file is 18.13GB - I did manage to shrink it down the other day (from it's previous 25GB).
    Well, that's it for now. I'll be away for three days, so don't mind me if I cannot reply back for a spell.

  • My G3 is Hanging when trying to load Tiger

    My G3 is hanging when trying to load up tiger. It gets all the way up the progress bar and doesn't go any further? Any suggestions? Can I just erase my hard drive and start over. It's a computer that I'm trying to upgrade for my kids so there is really nothing important on the hard drive at this point. I can't even get to disk utility to do this.

    Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements for Tiger? [Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger system requirements|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301341] Note, these really are minimum and Tiger will run a lot better with more, especially RAM. Tiger on a 300MHz will probably be quite slow.
    Some B&W G3s do not respond well to larger drives and the best terms is "flaky". These are the Rev. 1 G3s. You can post in the G3 forum for more information about this. See Grant's comments in [this discussion|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7203272&#7203272]
    The firmware should have been updated on your computer before any OSX install but I'd make sure just in case [Mac OS X: Available firmware updates for upgrading from OS9 to OSX|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117]
