Saving Numbers spreadsheet with password.

How do I save a Numbers spreadsheet with a password to encrypt it? With Microsoft excel, it is quite easy and part of the "Save as" box, but I can't see how to do this in Numbers, and nothing in the help function either.

Hello
Welcome to the club.
The response was given many times in the forum.
So, use the search tool in the Numbers forum with the keywords "disk image" or "encrypted"

Numbers spreadsheet with a guage (speedometer-like) control

I'm new to the Apple world and need to create a Numbers spreadsheet with a guage (speedometer-like) control that reacts to a value changed by a slider in real-time. Are there any Numbers featrures or add-ons that provide this type of functionality? Eventually, I'd like to move this to an iOS app. Any suggestions on nice charting and guage controls for iOS apps?
Thanks,
Lisa

Here is an old thread dealing with something similar to this. There is no way in Numbers to make a needle unless you are will to use and X-Y graph and perform the rotation math on many points. Said another way you cannot insert an image of a needle, then rotat it based on the value of a cell.
You CAN enter points for the outline of a needle, then perform the math to rotate the points:
The formulas are:
columns D and E are the unrotate coordinates for the arrow
F2=SQRT(D2^2+E2^2)
G2=ATAN(D2/E2)
select F2 and G2, then fill down
B2=F2*SIN($A$1+G2)
C2=F2*COS($A$1+G2)
select B2 and C2, then fill down
make A1 a slider and set the range from 0 to 8 (that'l a little more than twice around, or 2*pi)
The graph is set so the limits (min and max for X and Y) are -1 to +1
I hope this is another option

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.

Sharing Numbers spreadsheet with others so they can make slight changes?

I created a Numbers spreadsheet and saved it to iCloud with a password. I want to share it with 2 other people and allow them to make simple changes to the spreadsheet.
1. Do they need to log in to iCloud to make changes to the spreadsheet that I shared?
2. How do they save their changes after making them? I just checked the link created when sharing the spreadsheet and I didn't see a save button in the browser.
3. Which browsers will others be able to view/edit the spreadsheet in? Will it also work on PC?
Thanks!

You can create a "master" path and then link all of the other paths to that one with an expression. You don't even need to write the expression yourself; you can just Alt-click the Mask Path property stopwatch for a child mask and drag the expression pick whip to the master Mask Path property. You can link the paths of shape layers the same way.

Saving Numbers Spreadsheet

Excel opens at the exact saved row and cell position, is there a way of saving Numbers to do this?

There lies a major problem.
OpenOffice spreadsheets and similar Office Software such as Neo exhibit the same erratic Apple Mighty Mouse behaviour, with unwanted cell moves etc my work was ruined when using these office suites.
Whereas the Apple Mighty Mouse is very stable and works very smoothly in iWorks 08 Numbers.
With the Neo Office suite installed, I was obliged to use two mice, a Microsoft mouse for Neo spreadsheet as this was stable when doing spreadsheet work and the Apple Mighty Mouse for Aperture. The Mighty Mouse is brilliant when viewing photo's in Aperture, the delicate touch of the scroll is a delight to use.
I was unable to adjust the Apple mouse operating characteristics when using the third party office software and loath to use the Microsoft mouse.
I am now free of Microsofts hardware and software, I much prefer the Apple product over all others.

Sharing a Numbers Spreadsheet with MacBook Pro

I just bought Numbers for MacBook Pro so I can share my iPad spreadsheets with the Mac via iCloud.
The Mac version found and seemlessly opened the iPad spreadsheet. I made a few simple edits on the Mac, clicked Save and saw the iPad version updated. All this is great except that the iPad version has lost its Form.
The iPad Numnbers did warn me the spreadsheet had been edited on a Mac but it didn't tell me I'd lose the Form.
Is this correct? If so it's a major omission and makes sharing between iPad and Mac pretty useless for anyone using an input form. Forms are obviously great on the iPad and even better on an iPhone
John.

John,
The Mac version of Numbers doesn't support Form View of a table. There has been no upgrade of the Mac version since the iOS version was released. I would expect the Mac to catch up on the next upgrade, but we have no idea when that might be.
So, when you reopen your Mac-modified document on your iPad, turn the Form view back on. That's all you can do for now, unless you want to make a duplicate for your work on the Mac, but then the Mac changes wouldn't be reflected on the iPad.
It's not a terribly big deal, but I understand why you are looking for that feature. Send Feedback to Apple via the Numbers menu on your Mac.

If I update one device to ios8 can I share numbers spreadsheets with other devices on ios7 and mavericks?

(I posted this in the Numbers forum but didn't get answers, I hope someone in this forum has the answer. Should be straightforward.)
I'm not yet ready to upgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS8 or my computer to Yosemite, but I would like to upgrade my iPad 3.
I have several Numbers spreadsheets that I modify on any of these devices and expect to see the new document on any of the others within a few minutes.
I have seen the warnings not to upgrade to iCloud Drive, and I'm cool with that, since I don't use iCloud on the web browser. But if I simply avoid iCloud Drive is that sufficient? Will I be able to continue syncing my documents among the three devices as before? This note on Apple's Developer pages seems to indicate it may not work:
Document-Related Data Migration
The iCloud infrastructure is more robust and reliable when documents and data are transferred between user devices and the server. When a user installs iOS 8 and logs into the device with an iCloud account, the iCloud server performs a one-time migration of the documents and data in that user’s account. This migration involves copying the documents and data to a new version of the app’s container directory. The new container is accessible only to devices running iOS 8 or OS X v10.10. Devices running older operating systems can continue to access to the original container, but changes made in that container do not appear in the new container and changes made in the new container do not appear in the original container.
In other words, I might be able to see the document on my iOS8 device but if I make any changes to it I won't be able to see them on the other devices. I'd like to know from someone who has actually tried this whether it will work or not.
Thanks.

Normal "documents in the cloud" syncing should still continue between devices running iOS 8 and devices running iOS 7 and Macs running Mavericks (or earlier) as long as you do not enable iCloud Drive on your iOS 8 device(s). As mentioned in the support document, migration to iCloud Drive breaks breaks documents in the cloud syncing as iCloud drive is a completely different system. (For a time I was running iOS 8 on my iOS devices without iCloud Drive enabled and had no problems syncing iWork documents between them just as they did when running iOS 7.)

Can I share a Numbers spreadsheet with someone else as a read

I am trying to share a spreadsheet with a collegue ... does anyone know how I can do this?

Easiest way is to Print to PDF and Mail the PDF. Everyone can read a PDF and it's read only for all practical purposes.

Can a numbers spreadsheet be password protected

Can anyone advise how a numbers spreadsheet can be protected on opening usingmiPad?

I have Numbers for iPad, but it is not handy at the moment ...
But I hope this can help. It's from Numbers for Mac. I'm hoping (though I'm not sure) the process is similar.

If you simply wish to protect it from being copied, no. Adding the password will prevent it from being opened.

IPhone 5 not syncing Numbers spreadsheet with iMac

Can't seem to get changes in spreadsheet in Numbers on iMac to sync across to iPhone 5. Anyone got any ideas on how to achieve this?

Thanks James, however I have tried that numerous times. Even tried to restore the phone to factory settings however I am getting an error that prevents the restore. I'm starting to believe there is something wrong with the phone.

Multiple sheet spreadsheet with multiple pages...open in sync?

I am new to Mac...in the second week of converting all of my home applications from my old PC's.
I have a multiple sheet Numbers spreadsheet with each sheet having multiple pages. When I save and the re-open the spreadsheet it opens to the last sheet/page I was using. However, when I move to any of the other sheets they open on first page....requiring me to page down on each one to get to the current page.
Does anyone know if there is a way to set up numbers to have all the sheets return to their last active page when opening? This is the default in Excel and would seem (at least to me) to be the much more logical option.

Hi JD,
That would be a good suggestion for you to make to Apple via the Numbers menu, Provide Numbers Feedback option.
For now, there are two ways to navigate that you may not be taking full advantage of. First is to expand the Sheet lists to show individual Tables that you can jump to by clicking on their names. The second is to use the Search window. Command-F will open a window and show matches to your criteria, and clicking on the match listing will take you to the cell where it is found.

How can I recover a numbers spreadsheet. When I saved as a template, my original file was replaced with the saved version.

I save a numbers spreadsheet as a template and I lost my original document. How can I recover the original spreadsheet?

If the file you saved as a template no longer contains any data then I have no more suggestions other than restoring a backup copy.
Have you looked for the original file? did you use spotlight?

Is there a way to password protect a numbers spreadsheet in ios5?

Hi,
I have created a numbers spreadsheet in my macbook and then i protected it with a password to open. Then i have uploaded it to icloud as i need to be able to access it from both my iphone4 and my ipad2. Although the spreadsheet is indeed accessible from all my devises, i don't get asked for a password neither on the iphone nor on the ipad and the spreadsheet opens right away without any protection (it actually asked for my password once, the first time i opened it in my ipad and tha was it. Since then it opens without asking for the password)
Why isn't the password i created in the macbook working everytime i open it in any of the other two devices?
Is there any way i can have it working everytime one tries to access it?
Thx
Ibro

This is an iOS question in an OSX app discussion, but I'll give an opinion. iOS devices are personal, and can be passcode protected themselves. It's reasonable to assume that once the file is opened on that personal device, it will always open on that device without further verification.

I can no longer access a password protected Numbers file with the correct password. Error message only says the file "cannot be opened."

I'm using Numbers version 3.2.2.
Suddenly I cannot access my password protected Numbers file with the correct password. I have the correct password written down so I know I haven't made a mistake.
The response box that pops up says that the file cannot be opened. There are no other options for me to choose from.

Also, I tried to open it through an older version of Numbers but it sent this error message.
