Numbers+ on Mac iCloud NA after iOS8

Using 10.9.5 & iCloud on my MacBook Air.
Since updating the iPhone & iPads to OS8 I am told I cannot access Numbers_Pages_Keynote etc till I update my MBA to 10.10. & iCloud Drive.
Don't really want to update my main Mac to Yosemite till GM. and there doesn't seem to be a way to access the numbers spreadsheets etc put on iCloud via the iPads and phones without just using them which really negates the reason for using iCloud in the first place.
Options? ideas ? or just forget iCloud till October..

I am experiencing the same problems and tried using dropbox as a temporary solution. It doesn't work so well. I will use google drive but only people who have the iworks apps on Mac and iOS will be able to access it. The web app for beta numbers, etc for collaboration I thought was great even for non Mac users until I talked with Apple Support. They told me its a beta so they don't need to support it and can get rid of it anytime. Not sure I would want to invest time on something that the company doesn't support. I loved using Numbers but this iCloud Drive and Beta Web apps limitations is a concern when solid and dependable business applications is a must. I think you are better off with Google Drive...much less limitations than iCloud Drive.

Numbers for Mac does not show all stored Numbers files in iCloud that are already in use on iPhone and ipad

I have been using Numbers on both iPhone and iPad for a while and have about 8 files stored on iCloud. I have just purchased Numbers for Mac but I do not see any of my files stored in iCloud. I have created a test spreadsheet on my Mac which says it is stored on iCloud when I choose File - Open on my Mac but this test file does not appear on Numbers on iPhone or iPad.

I have tried all what you have suggested but still no luck. I am unable to locate the file Mobile Documents in either the Library folder under Mac HD or Mac HD - System - Library.
If you've set up iCloud properly on the Mac then in your Library there will be a Mobile Documents folder with documents in it:
Everything else syncs absolutley fine such as contacts, mail, notes, pictures etc etc.
Contacts, Mail, etc. sync via another iCloud protocol. For Numbers you need 'Documents & Data' turned on, per the screenshot upthread.
Numbers appears twice under iCloud for some reason though -
Numbers doesn't appear "under iCloud". Numbers uses iCloud to sync. Not sure what your screenshot is showing. On the Mac your Numbers will be here (in Finder):

How do I avoid continuous Autosave errors in Numbers for MAC 03?

When I start a new spreadsheet in Numbers for MAC 03, after a few keystrokes, I get the error message 'The document "mySpreadsheet" could not be autosaved. It has been changed by another application.' Of course I click "Save Anyway", but the message reappears after a few more keystrokes. There is no other application involved with this document.This is extremely annoying and impedes progress. I saw a discussion about the same problem occuring with Pages. The thread mentioned something about iCloud, but there was no resolution suggested. I do have iCloud enabled on my system, but I don't specify saving to iCloud - I specify to save it on my Deskltop. I have an iMAC with OS X 10.9.1. Help!!

Jeff,
Thanks for responding to my question. As is often the case when one iss attempting to demonstrate an issue, today I can't repeat the problem. Even with files that were previously exhibiting it. So what changed? I was having problems witth my Carbonite backup because of Kaspersky Internet Security for MAC. I eliminated Kaspersky from my login startup apps, rebooted my machine, and reinstalled Carbonite (it couldn't find its server before). Now Carbonite is working, and I don't have the Numbers autosave problem. After my backup completes, I will restart Kaspersky and see I can reproduce the autosave problem. The strange thing is the autosave problem occured before I installed Kaspersky in the first place. I don't understand how any of this had anything to do with autosave, but I am thankful that my machine is better behaved for now.
I don't have Stuffit Expander installed, but why did you suspect it?
I will continue, and if the problem re-occurs, I will try the Save to Documents instead of Desktop and let you know. Thanks again.

Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

I have a PC computer and an i-phone 4S. I set up an i-tunes acct online w/ icloud. After a recent update my PC started receiving an error message on start up. It says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found". It also says, " The procedure entry point smlTextreaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll". I click on OK and it moves on. It doesn't seem to affect my computer, but it's annoying. Any ideas on correcting this?

UPDATE - (Made a second post so it'd be clearer)
I uninstalled Office 2003, then iTunes, then all of the associated software (Mobile Device Support, Apple Update, Quicktime, EVERYTHING)
Reinstalled Office 2003, then Office 2003's Service Pack 3, then all Microsoft Updates for Office 2003. Then I configured a blank Outlook profile, no data other than the IMAP info for my .Mac/Me account. Then I downloaded (didn't used my existing copy) of iTunes 7.7 and reinstalled. Sync'd phone. Changed MobileMe settings. Told it to sync contacts and calendar with Outlook. It warned me because it was the first sync. Told it to take ALL of the MobileMe data and replace the data on the computer (which was blank.) NOTHING showed up in Outlook. When I tell it to sync Contacts with the Windows Address Book, it works fine.
In Conclusion, it still won't sync with Outlook, when it's set to Sync with Outlook I still get the annoying MAPI errors. So I switched to to Sync the Contacts with the Windows Address Book, and I'm backing up my WAB file now with my nightly backups.
I suppose we'll see if it gets fixed when I format/reinstall on Vista Ultimate in the next month or two. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open and willing to try them.
On a completely unproductive note: Despite my love for Exchange, I hate MAPI.

Saving an updated numbers spreadsheet to icloud

Hi Everybody!
I'm trying to learn how to use the icloud and numbers to seamlessly move between i-devices.
I use Numbers a lot on my ipad, and have installed it on my desktop as well.
I would like it if I could create a spreadsheet on my ipad and then update it on my laptop--and then save that updated version back to numbers in the icloud so that I can work on that same spreadsheet again on my ipad--just like on the commericials!!
How do I do that??? I cannot seem to find what is "home base" and keep ending up with various versions of the same document in different, confusing places.
How do i save that updated spreadsheet on my laptop back to the icloud???? There must be a simple solution for this that I'm just not seeing...
Thanks!!!

What a mess it all is too! We have Numbers only to find you can't save spreadsheets to iCloud.
So - unbelievably for having paid a fortune for i-Pads we send them via e-mail (in Excel form nobody else but Apple understands Numbers) to our computers (also Macs but that may change if this stupidity is going to continue with Apple)
On arrival - Save to where ever - THEN we open Google Docs (who understand how to make these things simple) - drag and drop into browser of Google Docs - it is there in seconds and you can work on it in a browser both from ANY computer and the iPad (but it makes it less enjoyable because unlike Googledocs, the iPad insists YOU must click 'submit' for each line or entry you put in or edit.
Hope that helps you.
Just to say, it is beyond belief that the iPad won't just connect to the ether and work simply through a browser like Google Docs does. Believe there are plans somewhere for a tablet with no apps just a connection to the ether ......

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 to install Numbers for Mac (iWork 9.0.3)

On my iMac running under Mavericks, i want to install the previous version of Numbers.
The current version which came with the computer, is 3.0.1. I suppose the previous version is Numbers for Mac 2.0. I cannot find this version for download.
I do own iWork 9.0.3 on cd which includes Numbers 9 (installed on my MacBook with Mountain Lion) but I am reluctant to install the cd on the iMac. I have a SuperDrive .
What happens if I run the cd installer and click the "Install" button (after the licence agreement)? Will the complete iWorks package be installed automatically including Pages and Keynote? Or will I get a choice to select Numbers only? Or is there an option to select Numbers only by hitting a key on my keyboard (this option was available with the Option key in previous OS versions but I cannot find it now).
My data are protected using Time Machine, but I feel insecure whether installing the complete iWorks cd will produce unwanted effects.

OK to install from CD. After you complete the install, immediately check for updates using the Menu item:
" > Software Update…"
The installer will install Keynote, Pages and Numbers. iWork '09 apps can co-exist with the latest version.
The Latest version of iWork Apps are stored in the folder "/Applications" and the previous version (which you are installing from the DVD) are stored in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"

IBooks problem after iOS8 download

My iBooks is not functioning correctly after iOS8 download. Keeps looping trying to download books, so cannot select to transfer to iCloud. Also while reading book shuts down & closes.

I have been having the iBooks crashing problem in iOS 8.x since I installed it on my iPad Air. I tried bunches of different things but it would only work without crashing in Airplane mode.
Today I did a complete restore via iTunes and set it up as a new iPad. I did not restore my backup to it. I simply set it to sync all my books, music, apps and photos in iTunes and when it finished syncing iBooks is no longer crashing on me.
I don’t know if this will work for everyone/anyone else. I’m also using Yosemite and iTunes 12, so that might also make a difference.

Missing photostream pictures after ios8 upgrade!

I just upgraded from Ios7 to ios8 on my iPhone 5 and many of my photostream pictures just disappeared!!!! These pictures mean a lot to me. Why did you guys not check this bug!? How do I get those pictures back?
To those who insist that photo stream just stores pictures up to 30-day old. I assure you prior to the ios8 upgrade, I had pictures in the photostream folder that were older than 30 days.
I am sure many have such a problem. Apple needs to fix this to avoid a huge backlash. This is teh

iOS 8 changes how it organizes photos. So make sure you look for the pictures first, they may not have disappeared. Just moved.
iOS 8 does away with the Camera Roll and My Photostream folders. Now, all photos are merged into the Collections section. Any pictures recent taken/saved/synced with Photostream appear in the Recently Added folder in the Folder view. This is a shortcut to the same photo in Collections, like any album on the iPhone. From what I understand, they will stay in Recently Added for 30 days before disappearing, though the actual photo is still in Collections. Hence, any photo you have from Photostream that are older than 30 days should be in Collections. This is what I found when I panicked.
As to Photostream holding photos, Apple changed how it worked ages ago. Photostream now stores the most recent 1000 photos in a First In, First Out method. They will stay there indefinitely until more than 1000 photos are in the stream, then the oldest ones delete to make room. If you use Photostream on your computer (iPhoto/Photos on Mac, iCloud Photos on PC), the pics will stay there even if older ones delete.
Now if you check Collections and still cannot find the photos, then check other Apple Devices or your computer. If not there, then contact AppleCare.

I've seen others having problems with a server being down, but I've had no problems yet. And all email providers have problems from time to time. I expect Apple is having minor problems with the transition from MMe to iCloud and I expect it to become stable, even though I've seen few problems.
From my experience, it's been more stable than gmail or att.net. Do what makes you comfortable and no reason not to have both in case one fails.
Unless you're a very unlucky person on a bad server, it may just be a setup issue. Try signing out of iCloud, delete iCloud accounts left in Mail. Delete any password associated with iCloud or MMe or .mac in Keychain for applications, not the website password. Verify your Keychain is OK after with Keychain First Aid.
Then sign back into iCloud and let the server set up the Mail account. The only thing you have to do is check the box to use Mail and iCloud does the account setup. If it doesn't work, then it's a server issue.
As of right now, iCloud system status reports no trouble in the US.

'On My Mac' and Yahoo calendars won't sync to iCloud. You can move them to iCloud, but then Yahoo will lose contact with its calendars. if you are happy to sync onlly with iCloud, and thus to your iPhone, you can move the calendars: you will have to do it one at a time, and the process is just a trifle convoluted - it's described in the first set of numbered instructions here:

OK. If you believe that.
When the disk is starting to die it can be bad for a moment and then be good for a while. If there was no problem while you were checking it of course it shows up good.
I tell you those are the signs of a disk that is about to die.

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

Can't open file from Numbers iWork08 in Numbers for Mac

I am unable to open Numbers files created in iWork08 (Numbers 1.0.3) in the new Numbers for Mac. I keep getting a message that says I need to save the file in Numbers 09 first. I don't have Numbers 09. Is there a way to do this? It doesn't seem right I would need to go back and buy Numbers 09 to save these files in the new Numbers for Mac app which I've already purchased.
Thank you.

Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations. You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default. Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it. It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it. Also save the serial number in safe place. Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year. HD can fail.
There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version. Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions. So it is safest to leave them be.
If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed. Can really foul it up.
