Numbers spreadsheets via iCloud?

Hi - any tips on how I get numbers spreadsheets from my mac to my iPad. I've uploaded them to icloud and have my iPad set to receive docs and data under the iCloud setting, but nothing happens.
Any help would be appreciated

I don't have Numbers but I use Pages. I suspect that only files that you load into Nunbers and then save will be sent to the cloud, I don't believe it will scan through all available files on your drive.

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 ......

Can't Open Numbers spreadsheets in iCloud

I'm hoping someone can help me ... I have some numbers spreadsheets saved in iCloud. When I go to open them, it says that the file can't be opened, whether I try to access it from my Mac or from the Icloud website. I was able to get a preview of some of the documents so at least i can start over, but one document is password protected and I can't get it to open. I've tried saving it to my desktop, changing the extension, looking at the permissions, and no luck. This is so frustrating! I do have a time machine back up but since this is stored on the cloud I'm not sure if it would have saved a file on the machine.
Any advice appreciated, I saved things on iCloud to ensure that if my computer crashed I'd still have access and it seems that was not the right thing to do!
Thanks much.

Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers normally wouldn't show up in a Spotlight search. But you should be able to find it in Finder by holding down the option key and choosing Library from the Go menu.
If it's not there then that suggests you haven't been successful in activating iCloud sync on your Mac. You might check setttings in two places in System Preferences > iCloud.
Documents and Data must be checked:
AND, after clicking 'Option...', this Numbers.app must be checked:
If these two boxes are both checked and you're still having trouble then try signing out of iCloud and back in.

How to upload numbers spreadsheet to icloud

Trouble uploading current numbers spreadsheet to cloud. How do I upload spreadsheet to cloud to access it on all of my devices

Hi CowGirl, are you really a cowgirl from Southern Dixie ? LOL.
Ok i have now learned a lot more about this saving a Numbers file to the cloud, in the version of Numbers i have, there is not a Save As option, i looked in the Help File and to do anything like Save As you have to first File/Duplicate and Save as from there, but this idea does not give access to the LIBRARY.
However through searching around more diligently i found that to get a Numbers file (and a Pages file as well no doubt) up onto the Cloud, so it can be edited by any of your devices, you simply need to drag the file, from the finder window onto the iiCloud/iWork/Numbers web page !, it really is as easy as that.
Thanks for helping young lady.

HEY I CANNOT GIVE YOU A "CORRECT ANSWER" ???? where is it ?

Problem viewing Numbers spreadsheet via VNC

When I connect to an Intel Mac Mini running 10.5.6 using a VNC client and launch Numbers (2.0.2) on the Mini, a valid spreadsheet opens but it looks blank (no cells visible, no data visible). The program is fully functional and if the arrow keys are used to scroll around the spreadsheet, each cell's data is displayed, one cell at a time, in the entry field (at the top of the spreadsheet).
The spreadsheet display normal, as expected, on a monitor connected to the Mini. The spreadsheet can be printed and saved as PDF. These both show a complete, normal spreadsheet with data in each cell.
This issue occurs when using either Chicken Of The VNC and JollyFastVNC. Changing display resolution nor number of colors fixes the problem. Changing window size in the VNC client (full-screen mode vs. window mode) does not fix the problem.
Other applications running on the Mini show no problems when viewed & controlled from the VNC client.
The VNC client runs on a PowerBook G3/400 running OS X 10.4.11. These computers are connected via a LAN and 10/100 ethernet switch. Personal filesharing is enabled on the Mini; no firewalls are used.
How can I fix the remote viewing problem with Numbers? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
iX

Hi Gretchen,
I talked to R&D and they said this is expected behavior. The min/max from the properties from the hypertrend properties reflect what is considered as true and false on the chart.
Is there a reason you cannot set these to 0 and 1?

Unable to save Numbers spreadsheets to iCloud or Mac

I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers '09 version 2.3 and every time I try and save it I get a message that says "The file "Untitled.numbers-tef" couldn't be opened".
Does anybody know what I'm missing?
Thanks,
DJ

I had tried that too and it didn't work either. I ended up starting from scratch and it seems to be working now. Not sure what happened but it looked like it auto-saved with some long temp file name and then wouldn't let me do anything to it. Thanks for the help anyways.

Can I family share a numbers spreadsheet in icloud?

I would like to share and collaborate with members of my family sharing group. This was easily achieved in the previous version prior to iCloud drive update, I could share with another apple id. iCloud drive only seems to allow the sharing of a link. An option similar to Google drive sharing would be a much better option in my opinion. Any ideas?

There is no Numbers -> Some Application path.
It may not be too hard to make an app in XCode. if the spreasheet is not too complicated

I can't open my numbers spreadsheet on my Mac, from iCloud

I save my numbers spreadsheets to icloud as I need to access them on the go.
Now that I have turned my Mac off and back on, I can't access any of my numbers spreadsheets from icloud.
When I try to open one I get an error message that says "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet."
I have the latest version.
This happened a few weeks ago, and was eventually sorted when another update came through for numbers for my Mac.
But this time I waited for the updated to catch up with Australia, but I still can't open them.
I can however access then by sharing the document via icloud, but I can't use it in numbers on my Mac, and I cant save it to my Mac.
Does anyone have any tips?

It sounds like you may have mre than one version of Numbers installed on your Mac. and that the older one is attempting to open these files.
If you were previously using Numbers '09, and upgraded to Numbers 3, the older version will still be on the Mac, enclosed in a folder named iWork '09, found in your Applications folder.
Numbers 3 will also be in the Applications folder, but not enclosed in another folder.
The two versions have different feature sets, and I would caution against removing the earlier version before ensuring that any features you have been using and that you need are supported in Numbers 3. Both versions can coexist on the same machine (and according to reports, can both be running at the same time).
To ensure that you are launching the newer version, make sure you have it's icon on the Dock, and that you use that icon to start the launch. The icons for the two versions are similar—both are vertical bar graphs in 3D format. The difference is in the number of bars—three for Numbers '09 and four for Numbers 3. Once you ahve launched the needed version, use File > Open (or File > Recent items) to locte and open the file.

Barry

HELP !?! Numbers spreadsheet on iPad in iCloud : "can't be opened"

Been travelling for the past 2 weeks, only have my iPad with me. Have been working on a Numbers spreadsheet in iCloud, and today at some point for no apparent reason Numbers closes and I am directed back to Home Screen. Numbers app seems still open, but spreadsheet (although still showing in list of documents) won't open anymore.
Anyone can help me please with re-opening the document ? (I have made lots of changes over the past 2 weeks, and won't be back home at my MacBook Air for another week. I hope I have not lost weeks of work ...)
Thanks
P.S. I have tried to reset the iPad, didn't work ...

Restart fixed this, but still—not reassuring.

Ipad numbers spreadsheet corrupted by iMac numbers - help!!

I have a numbers spreadsheet set up on iPad and used drop down lists to enter simple values. The tables are linked across my ipad. When i opened my spreadsheet via icloud on my iMac, the tables had auto inserted values and or column headers in the empty cells! this affects a number of linked tables and has caused the sum value column to be corrupt please help!!

Toffee,
I've had no problems like that, so without more information it will be difficult to help you. You could post a screen shot of your layout. If you turn on the Formula List and take a shot of that too, it may help to determine what is happening.

Floating Numbers Spreadsheet on PC

No.At least not in the current version.

Edit numbers spreadsheet pn ipad

I imported a Numbers spreadsheet via Itunes to my Ipad. I can open it but I cannot figure out how to edit it.

Do you have the iOS version of Numbers on your iPad? If not, then you can only view the spreadsheet, not edit it.
Regards.

When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser.

When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser. and worse all the letters appear out of format and unreadable.
Is there any option that i'm getting wrong
How can we solve this.
Usualy we use Google drive documents to share some spreadsheets, but we wanted to share the same document with numbers (that's much better) but it doesn't work as easily as in google drive and doesn't even remotely works how it was supposed.

Don't know why those letters wouldn't display properly; maybe something to do with their settings at Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Default Encoding or similar setting in whatever browser they are using. But it's really easy for them to download the document via the "wrench" in the Numbers for iCloud menu. Then they can open it in the Numbers app.
For "real-time" collaboration, I think you all need to be accessing Numbers for iCloud via the browser.

I updated my Mac to Osxmaverickx and numbers to the newest version. I change a numbers page on the mac. Try to open this doc via icloud on the ipad 1. Apple suggest me to update to the new numbers software. This is not aviable for the ipad 1.

I installed the new numbers on the imac.
I updated a simple spreadsheat.
Tried to open via icloud on ipad-
Apple suggest to update to the new numbers. This is not aviable for the ipad 1.
1) Why Can Ipad 1 users not open icloud docs created by the new numbers on the mac ?
2) What's the use of mobile devices when they don't work
3) Can I open this docs via a google application ?

Drag...
Where did you get your copy of numbers on the mac? You best go back to your old version of numbers on your mac.
Perhaps it's something to do with icloud. try dropbox. Try running the spreadsheet through NeoOffice calc on the Mac.
It's the world of software. When you use vintage stuff, you need to get more creative or spend money on an upgrade. Apple is lacking in the legacy world.
Now you be the time to come up with a backup plan for your mac.

In Icloud I can't see my "numbers" icon which i need to select "tick" to transfer data to my other devices via icloud. any ideas why it's not showing up?

You have to do it app wise, which means that the icon won't show up in settings, but you will be able to move files from your local drive to iCloud via the Numbers app (move... > choose the iCloud option).
It requires that you set up the same iCloud account on all your devices and that you have the latest version of Numbers on all your devices as well.
