Save changes to numbers file to iCloud

How do I save a numbers file into the cloud from my mac? Downloading the file (from iCloud) editing and then Save a Version does not update the iCloud file.

So a two step process? They already exist in iCloud, I just want to save changes back to the iCloud.
This is seamless from my devices. But a cumbersome process from my mac?

When I download a Numbers file from iCloud to my Mac, it isn't the latest version.

Today I worked on a Numbers file on my iPad 2 from 4:40 pm to 6:30 pm. A few hours later, when I tried to download the file from iCloud to my Mac, none of today's changes appeared. When I looked at it again on the iPad, on the main Numbers page where you choose the file you want, it showed a time of 4:43 pm associated with the file. However, when I opened it, the two hours of work was still there even though the time was off. I tried sending the file as an email and when I opened the email attachment on my Mac, all of today's changes were there. So the new changes are captured when emailing a file but not when downloading it.
It almost seems as if the file hasn't made it off the iPad and into iCloud, but I can't find any information on ways to force that or know if it's been done.

Two possible problems. 
1. BlackBoard never supports the latest version of Firefox, for a few reasons. Some schools don't run the latest version of BlackBoard Vista or Campus Edition. Also, BlackBoard upgrades seem to be tied to the "school year" cycle, the changes they make to improve and update their software seem to be rolled out for the fall term so that changes aren't being made during the normal "school year" and possibly causing problems for the schools. That also may be a function of their contract / payment cycles with the schools that use their programs.

Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition ''(version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer)'' that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.
Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.
My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 4.0.1 for all other web browsing.

2. Firefox uses a Plugin ( you have Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator installed) to open files that aren't "internet files", like word processing documents. 
I can't help you directly with Office, as I use Open Office, but there should be a preference for that Plugin within your Office preferences or options under something like Internet, to have those files '''Display documents in browser'''. 
Or see this to make sure you have your "file type" set correctly.

How many sheets can you save in a Numbers file?

Hi folks. I am desperate for help. I have a very important Numbers file that I am working with, where I need to add 289 "sheets" to a single file. Everythign was fine, until I am trying to add my 146th sheet. When I add that next sheet, It will no longer auto save or let me manually save!
I can't find any file size or number of sheet limits.
What can I do? I really must have each sheet on the same file.
Please advise.
Drew

Drew,
According to the following discussion, Yvan Koenig states that you can have 255 Tables per Sheet and 255 Sheets per Document:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7813797#7813797
In my opinion, anything approaching this order of magnitude belongs in an Office or Office-clone app. Numbers is bound to choke sooner or later with this much data.
If you are certain that you haven't hit one of these limits, there may be other reasons you can't save that we can't guess with the information that you provided.

Unable to open Numbers file in iCloud using Numbers 2.3 (iWorks 09)

Using my iMac (OS 10.8.5) and Numbers (2.3), I am unable to open a Numbers file built on my iPad2 (7.1.1) and stored on iCloud. I get an error message indicating that I need to upgrade Numbers on the iMac. The version available to download on the App Store is 3.2.2 and seems to require Maverick to run. i don't really want to spend the money on either, but will if I have to obviously. (DISLIKE). Are there other options? And will the upgrade also force me into iOS 8?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Reefkeeper,
You will need Mavericks to use Numbers 3. I don't use iCloud right now but it seems some users are experiencing difficulties at the moment with the iOS 8 upgrade. To Use Numbers in iCloud you will need iCloud Drive which requires iOS 8 and Yosemite on the Mac. Yosemite is not out yet.
I sync my Numbers files between my iPod and Mac using iTunes and file sharing. It is a little clunky but gets the job done. You can also email files.
It has been said on these forums that Numbers 3 is a free upgrade- I can't remember. I don't do a lot of printing or find and replace and Numbrs 3 has suited me very well. It is said to be more applescript friendly and of course that whole cloud thing. '09 will still be on your computer.

Camera RAW does not save changes to original file

I am making some basic edits to some photos in Bridge CS5 camera raw. For some of them I want to save over the original file with the new changes. To do this, I have been pushing "done", which shows the changes to the original file in the bridge preview... BUT, when I go to view them in the original file folder (housed on the desktop), the changes have not been made to the original file. Changes are only shown in Bridge.
I have rebooted Bridge and the computer.
What's going on?

That's the way Bridge works. The original file is untouched. All your changes are saved in a separate .xmp file.
To open a copy of the image with the changes applied, click the Open Image button in Camera Raw.

How do I duplicate sheets within a Numbers file on iCloud?

I need to create several sheets within a Numbers file within the iCloud iWork portal. I can create a new sheet by clicking the plus button but that just gives me an additional blank sheet. I've attempted to copy the sheets by pressing highlighting all data in the first sheet and copy and pasting it into the newly created blank sheet but the way the pasting transfers over is mumbled and disorganized. The font is even styled differently too. Is this possible yet?

After creating a new sheet with a default table but before pasting the data, press Command-A and hit Delete. You now have a completely blank sheet. Now press Command-V to paste the new table.
Alternatively, after pasting the new table it will be at the front. Select (say) cell A1, and then click on the Table Select icon (nine dots at the top-left). At this point you have the new table selected. Then click on the Arrange tab and click on Back to send the new table behind the default table. Now reselect cell A1 and then the Table Select icon again. Now you have the default table selected and can press Delete.

How do I stop Photoshop CS6 from asking to save changes to a file when closing the file, after "savi

I save a lot of files to "save for web". After saving PS asks if I want to save changes to the original file. I never want to save the changes to the original. Since the default is to change the file I am afraid I will accidentally OK the change without wanting to. I would like it to stop asking and just not save it. Is there a way?

Then don't work on the original open the file using Photoshop menu file>open once its in Photoshop as a document dupe the document and close the original document. Photoshop will just close the original and not ask it you want to save the original document for no changes were made to it. You could easily record an action to automate this process. The first step in the action would be an inserted menu item menu File>Open. The second step Duplicate Document, third step select previous document the fourth and final step close. The action would look like this recorded Work in the dupe and save it under the name you want to where you want it saved. The First step is an interactive you will be able to open any file Photoshop has support for that you have access to.

Numbers App On MacBook Pro Cannot See Numbers Files on iCloud ......

I am running a MacBook Pro (8 GB) OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10) with Numbers (Version 3.5). When I upgraded to this latest version, Numbers worked fine for few weeks, then I could not access my Numbers files on the iCloud. I can access my iCloud files on my iPhone, iPad, and Safari. However, Numbers on my MacBook Pro does not show any files on iCloud,
Please assist ........

Often when people think they've deleted an application, what's really happened is that they deleted its icon from the Dock. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. If the application is in that folder, drag it to the Dock (not to the Desktop or anywhere else.) The other Dock icons will move out of the way to make a place for it.

How to make/save changes to the file - /etc/httpd/httpd.conf - in Terminal

I'm new to Unix/Terminal and am attempting to make changes in the Apache Web server's configuation file - /etc/httpd/httpd.conf - so that I can use PHP locally. (The "LoadModule php4" has a "#" mark in front of it which I am attempting to remove.) This approach is suggested in the book "Dreamweaver MX 2004 with asp, coldfusion, and php." The book includes instructions on how to adjust the files using pico in Terminal. But the book doesn't explain how to work with Unix/Terminal to enable the right access permission to save the changes in Terminal. I've been able to make the changes in pico the book recommends, but I'm not able to save the changes. I'm the only user of the computer.
Please advise how to be able to save the changes. Thank you!

jamesk,
httpd.conf is owned by 'root'. therefore, to save your changes you need to use 'sudo' when editing the file. before you do that, you should type in
man sudo
and read about what sudo actually does. be aware that it can give you all-encompassing power to do many things - including messing things up.
once you have read about sudo, first do (substitute full paths, if necessary - e.g. /etc/httpd/httpd.conf for httpd.conf)
sudo cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.bak
to backup your httpd.conf file (in case you make an error), then do
sudo nano httpd.conf
to make your changes, then save the file.
then do
sudo apachectl configtest
to test changes to the server config (it should let you know if there is an error).
finally do
sudo apachectl graceful
to restart the server and re-read the config file.
cheers,

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):

Open excel files in icloud

I have just changed from windows to mac. I can open my .xls (excel) files in numbers, but they won't open in Icloud, and I can only save them in Icloud under the numbers umbrella. Can anyone help. Thanks

I'm not sure if I fully understand your question because it is not too complete. I'm assuming you have setup iCloud on your iMac, if not then you need to following Apple's instructions in:
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
In order to acess your Numbers files in iCloud you need to navigate to
https://beta.icloud.com/
Then open your files and edit as needed.
If this isn't complete please advise.

Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

Hi,
Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
Files that were created earlear also not opened.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
SSL yes
port 587
SMTP Authentification Yes
Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
I'll try and use the old passwords later.
