Sharing a numbers file with joint apple id

I want to share a numbers file between my iMac in my user account, my wifes mac mini in her user account and my wifes iPad.
I thought the way to accomplish this would be to create a second joint apple ID that is used for sync'g documents in iCloud. Niether of our existing Apple ID's use documents in iCloud.
I assumed that with the joint ID created I should sign out of my Primary ID on my iMac and sign back in using the joint ID.
However, it appears this doesn't work.
When I start to sign out, in system preferences, I'm asked if I want to keep the contacts - response "keep the contacts". The next dialog says that if I sign out then the Calendars and Reminders linked to iCloud will be deleted from this mac. Not good.
Can anyone suggest how I can get access to the Numbers file from the three accounts or educate me on what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do to get this working.
Thanks

There's an app for that

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.

Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

Can music be shared between two devices with different apple IDs?

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
iTunes content can be commingled in the iTunes library on a computer and synced to iOS devices. The computer must be authorized to use the content from the respective Apple IDs in the iTunes Store menu.

Sharing i cloud calendar with non apple users

Hi. I want to share my icloud calendar with non apple users. I went into i cloud settings clicked the calendars I wanted to share and sent the invites. All good so far. However, the people I have invited can find no way to access them as they do not have i cloud accounts (which it keeps asking for) and are not apple users. help?

Are you asking about the file format for non-Apple PC's or the best way to physically share the slideshow file or are you asking about sharing with people that don;t have a computer at all?
Once you create the slide show in Aperture you will need to export it. You can pick a number of formats and uses during export. The easiest way would be to export for YouTube. Once the export is finished you can upload the file to YouTube and give all your friends and family the URL to play it.
If you want to deliver a file depending on the software they have on the PC you could use the .mov file format. This requires Quick Time to play it but there is a free Quick Time player for windows available from Apple.
If you want to create a DVD to play on a standard DVD player you will need to get a hold of DVD aurhoring software. Apple use to include the software with iLife but stopped doing that a while back. If you're looking to make a video DVD post back.

Renaming files with Automator & Apple Spript

Hi there!
I need the help of an expert in Automator & Apple Spript....
I've got to rename 500 files with the following names:
001-001 firstfilename.jpg
104-095a otherfilename.jpg
Any idea on how to get rid of the second number (that is 3 or 4 characters long, but always followed by a space) so to have something like:
001 firstfilename.jpg
104 otherfilename.jpg
Thanks in advance & Ciao!

The following script should work.
IMPORTANT:
1) The files whose names you want to change must all be in the same folder. That folder must be open, and it must be the front finder window.
(Also, no other files should be in that folder)
2) Make a back-up of the files before you do this (just in case there is a problem. I hope the files are not too large)
3) This should work if the file names are consistent. I have presumed that there is always a hyphen and a space ( ) and that you wish to keep the characters before the hyphen and after the space.
4) Copy the script below into the script editor. When you have prepared 1 & 2 above then run the script. Good luck
--Start of Script
tell application "Finder"
set myFiles to every file of the front window
repeat with Cfile in myFiles
set WholeName to the name of Cfile
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "-"
set WNlist to every text item of WholeName
set WNpart1 to first item of WNlist
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
set WNlist2 to every text item of WholeName
set WNpart2 to last item of WNlist2
set NewName to WNpart1 & " " & WNpart2
set name of Cfile to NewName
end repeat
end tell
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
--End of Script

Sync numbers files with MAC?

Can I sync numbers files between my mac and my ipod touch?
Thinking of making a numbers time tracking sheet / invoicing sheet....

That is sadly correct, unlike the Docs to Go I originally had on the Palm. There is another app I have, called Spreadsheet which will allow this although the process of transfers is not as direct. Air Sharing like D to G, also allows only viewing. Files of Files Lite is also just a viewer.

Sharing Apps Not Contacts with Same Apple ID

Sharing a numbers file

I have a numbers file and I'd like to allow two or more people to make changes to it at the same time. Any suggestions?

If you share link via iCloud then the recipients can work on it simultaneously through their (PC or Mac browsers) at icloud.com.
They can also download the document through the Tools menu, but then they won't be able to all edit it at the same time.

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.

I am having trouble sharing my itunes library with my apple TV.

I can see my computer in the list on the apple TV however when i click on it I get an error message saying that it cannot connect to my library. I have a new mac book pro, new time capsule and a new apple TV 2. I had the apple TV working perfectly with my old windows PC and netgear router but since buying the mac book and the time capsule I have been unable to get it to work.
I have tried powering everything down and powering back up
I have turned all of the sharing off and set it all back up again
I have updated the apple TV software and reset the factory settings
I have updated the time capsule firmware
etc.
any help would be great - very frustrating

Sharing .dir/.cst files with mutiple users

We're having problems moving to a thin client.
I have a customer running a stub projector that loads the
main dir file. The dir file has multiple, dynamically-linked casts
(dozens that swap in and out depending on context). It has worked
great for years running off local hard drives - with updates loaded
via a lan.
Our customer wants to pull the harddrives from the local
machines and run everything from the network. The projector can
have many users, but the dir file & all the shared casts appear
to be single user only. Is there a way to have multiple instances
of a projector load multiple instances of linked .dir and .cst
files?

Set them to be read-only.

Exporting Numbers file with leading zeros as csv file

When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?

"When I export a list of mobile phone numbers with leading zeros (086* etc.) from Numbers as a csv file, the leading zeros are stripped out, although the cells are previously formatted as text. What can I do about this?"
Well, the first thing you could do would be to post your question in one of the forums for Numbers.
Click Discussions to get to the Discussions index page, then the section for the version of iWork you're using, then the Numbers forum in that section.
In AppleWorks (which doesn't offer an opportunity to Save as or Export as csv) I'd force the application to see the phone numbers as text by inserting some non-numeric characters into the string of digits.
Examples: 000-123-4567, 000 123 4567
It may also be a function of the application you are using to open the csv file.
When I did a brief test of the suggestion above with Numbers '09, I got this result on opening the file in Text Edit:
,1234567890,num
,123-456-7890,tex
,0123456789,num
,012-345-6789,tex
,0001234567,num
,000-123-4567,tex
Note that both the examples entered as a string of digits only (num) and those entered with inserted hyphens (tex) kept the leading zeroes. Cell format for the column containing the phone numbers was set to Text.

How do I transfer a Numbers file with different tabs to an excel file?

Hello
I am a teacher and for each class I have a file in numbers. In each file I have different tabs for each period. Now I want to tranfer my files to my Macbook to print them out but from each file there is only one tab tranfered. How can I transfer all the tabs from each file? I transfer my files trough ITunes.
help me please!

Looks like I should be more careful when reading. You did post in the iOS forum (in which case I expect most people here have iOS devices). I do apologize for not being more carfeul.
Here is a link to an APPLE web page that may help you transfer the document using iTunes:

I hope this helps!

How can I view a file with an *.apple extension?

Hi all,
I did a search and couldn't come up with any threads that may have discussed this. My apologies if I overlooked any results.
Anyway, I was doing some file recovery on my SD card and this f2754624.apple file popped up at around 600mb. I'm guessing it was some video shot with the digi. It's kind of old and I'm kind of curious what it is haha.
So any clue as to how I can open said file? Thanks in advance for any assistance I can obtain from you all.

"not supported, or might have been damaged."
That's key. If you're using Safari to download PDFs, it can do this.
Trash the SPD file. It can't be repaired.
Download the Adobe Reader FULL installer here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
Save the DMG to your downloads folder.
Go to: Mac HD/Library/Internet Plugins
Trash the AdobePDFViewer.plugin and AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin files.
Empty the trash.
Download AppZapper (it's a free trial) and install it.
Launch AppZapper, and drag the Adobe Reader app to the window.
"Zap" it and anything else in the window to the trash.
Empty the trash.
Install Reader from the downloaded DMG and re-download the SPD file.

Sharing Windows XP files with Mountain Lion Macs

We have a mixed network with a Windows XP PC acting as a file and application server (no choice the application is PC specific). Just introduced a new user with a new MacBook with 10.8.2 and some (but only some) of the folders in the main shared directory on the Windows XP have a no entry symbol. Is this something to do with 10.8.2 or have I just not set up the Windows permissions correctly?

Thanks for trying to help. I wish it were a domain but unfortunately not and the PC is XP as it supports an old shared program. I may have found a good enough answer in KB 304040 but that will have to wait for the MacBook Air that was showing the problem to visit again.
