Numbers: how can i set an alias to a file in icloud?

Hi,
I moved a table into the iCloud so I can sync it across my devices. That works just fine.
BUT: Since I work with this file quite frequently, I would like to place an alias on my desktop. I am absolutely clueless on how to do this....any suggestions?
Thanks!
Peter

I think Jerry's suggestion is the best practice.  But if for some reason you don't like opening Numbers first and then opening the document, but always want to just click on an alias on the Desktop, then in Finder while holding down the option key you can Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and find your document, create an alias, and drag the alias to the Desktop (ignoring the warning about removing the alias from iCloud).  Thereafter you can click the alias to open the document synced to iCloud.  It might be best to try this with a test document to make sure you really want that approach.

  • How can i import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    How can I import contacts from a csv file to "iCloud Contacts"?

    The only way I know of to import cells from a csv file is by creating a new file.  But then you can select the desired cells and copy them to the other file.  I just did it to be sure it works.
    1. Create the new spreadsheet file via the upload command.
    2. Select the cells (table) that you want to move to the other file and press command+C (copy).
    3. Close the new file and open the existing file.
    4. Select the top/right cell of the area to receive the copied "table" and press commant+V (paste).
    I hope this is what you're trying to do!

  • Using numbers, how can you set percentage to show decimals?

    When using numbers, how do you set the format to allow for decimals in a quotient formula with the cell formatted for percentages?

    It would be 'View' > 'Sidebar' > 'Bookmarks'. Shortcut 'Ctrl' + 'B' on the keyboard.
    If the 'View' menu is not visible please try pressing 'Alt' + 'V'.

  • How can I delete an alias of a file that has been deleted already?

    A couple of days ago I took a screen shot of my flight's itinerary for this summer vacations. Without noticing I created an alias of the file...I deleted the screen shot and now I just have the alias and i can not delete it nor dragg it anywhere .... it gives me the option to delete it or fix it but nothing of that works ... I tried to hold command and dragg it but it wont go anywhere and i also tried dragging it to the terminal but it wouldn't go there either...the file just won't go anywhere!!
    Help please!

    1. Consider using a Database.
    If this option is bit "too heavy"
    1. Using a BufferedReader read the whole line.
    2. Use StringTokenizer to split into tokens .
    You would get name and age.
    3. If thereare more attributes of person consider creating an Object to represent this person.
    class Person{
      private String name;
      private int age;
      Person( String name , int age ){
      public int getAge(){
       return this.age ;
    }4. Put these entries in Hashtable using name as key
    HashTable  h = new HashTable();
    // ... somewhere  later in code
      Person p = new Person( name , age );
      h.put( p.getName() , p ) ;
    // Somewhere later
      String name = "xyz" ; // or read from somewhere
    ((Person)h.get(name)).getAge();

  • How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

    Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
    Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

    I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
    QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
    1) Half Size,
    2) Actual Size,
    3) Double Size,
    4) Fit to Screen,
    5) Fill Screen,
    6) Panoramic, or
    7) Current Size
    The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

  • How can I set the location of the files for My Digital Editions?

    When I installed REader for PC it set up as its file location  a location which makes no sense to me and I want to move it nto My Documents.  How do I do this without REader for PC "losing" its files?

    Adding location data is not yet supported in Photos.
    And we do not know, if future updates will  support this feature. It might help, if you send back feedback to Apple with a feature request. You can use this form:  Apple - Photos - Feedback
    As a work-around, use third party apps to add location data before you import the photos to Photos.
    You could, for example, first import to iPhoto, add the locations, batch change the titles and captions, do all the things that are not yet supported in the new Photos, then export the photos from iPhoto and import them to Photos.
    Or use the free exiftool, if you like the Terminal.
    See:  http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#geotagging_exampl es
    To install exiftool: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/%7Ephil/exiftool/install.html
    Other convenient apps are Jetphoto Studio, Geotagalog, there are many more ..
    I use Jetphoto Studio, but it is not free.

    Usually, we don't speak of "receive" when using FTP, since the file is transferred from server to client, so it's more of a case of "download".
    At your end, it's simple. You use an FTP client; under SL, that includes Finder and Safari, so you don't even need to get any additional software.
    At the other end, it's more complicated; the 'sender' must set up an FTP server on his machine.
    Alternatively, you can set up your own Mac as an FTP server, and have the 'sender' connect to you with an FTP client and upload the file; but, if your Mac lives behind a router, then you have more work to do with the router settings.
    That's why it's much easier to use the file sharing services mentioned above -- if they are available in both sender's and receiver's locations. (Keep in mind that some countries block access to all those mentioned -- except perhaps <www.transfer.ro>, of which I know absolutely nothing.)

  • How can we set default value within html:file

    Hai,
    To set default value to text box i use the following code. It works well.
    <html:text property="modifyserverdesc" value="<%= serverDesc%>" styleClass="text" size="38"/>But for file i use the code
    <html:file styleClass="file" property="modifyserverimgfile" value="<%= serverImage%>" size="40"/>It doesn't display value. What is problem here?

    Hi,
    guess that one option in a RowImpl would be to check if the attribute is null or if the attribute value can be found in the VO that populates the list. If first is true or seconds false (cannot be found) you return the first value of the VO, making it the current attribute value

  • How can I set button colors from xml file data?

    I am reading an xml file to create a group of buttons. I am
    also using repeater to create the group of buttons.
    I am getting the buttons created, but am unable to set the
    fill color properly. I keep getting the error "Implicit coercion of
    a value of type String to an unrelated type Array" if I try to plug
    in r.currentItem.value, even when I used an Actionscript function
    to convert from a String to an array of 2 uints. Is there a simple
    type casting solution to this I'm just not getting?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    The xml file has the following format:
    <colors>
    <color>
    <name>Canteloupe</name>
    <value>0xFFCC66</value>
    </color>
    <color>

    Thanks atta707!
    If I send an array of 2 uints via a function call that
    converts from String to Number to uint in an Actionscript function
    and try to feed that into fillColors via:
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    public function fillcolors (_colorvalue:String):uint {
    return uint(Number(_colorvalue));
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Button height="15" width="15"
    toolTip="{r.currentItem.name}" x="10" y="10"
    fillColors="[fillcolors({r.currentItem.value}),fillcolors({r.currentItem.value})]"
    I still get the "Implicit coercion of a value of type String
    to an unrelated type Array." on the line that creates the button. I
    have tried returning an Array of two uints with the Actionscript
    funtion and get the same result.
    <mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
    public function fillcolors (_colorvalue:String):Array {
    return new Array(uint(Number(_colorvalue)),
    uint(Number(_colorvalue)));
    ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:Button toolTip="{r.currentItem.name}" height="15"
    width="15" x="10" y="10"
    fillColors="[fillcolors({r.currentItem.value})]"/>
    Am I mistaken in my conversion of r.currentItem.value to
    fillColors as arguments? Sorry about the newbie question - the
    error I get makes me think it is a type conversion issue, but I
    can't seem to get this to work/compile. If fillColors is expecting
    an Array, should the Actionscript function returning an Array at
    least get this to compile?

  • How can I set my y-intercept (b) equal to zero retina macbook 2014

    Hello everyone,
    I hope you can reply to my question before 11:55p.m. today because that is when my report is due. I graphed my scatter plot and got my trend line, but my professor wants the class to set the y-intercept, the (b) from y=mx+b to zero. Can you guide me step by step on how to do that? I tried clicking on the Data section, then x-value, typed zero, but my graph disappeared. I am supposed to be using Excel for this, but I only have numbers. Can you set the y-int equal to zero using Numbers as well?

    Hi Theonlymary,
    The LINEST function returns an array of the statistics for a straight line that best fits the given data using the least squares method.
    LINEST(known-y-values, known-x-values, nonzero-y-intercept, more-stats)
    Type = in a spare cell to bring up the Function Panel. Type LINEST in the search box to see help on that function.
    I don't use LINEST but it seems you can get extra stats from an array that it returns.
    It won't change your graph (it doesn't  need a graph).
    Regards,
    Ian.
