Shortcut using Numbers App

Is there a shortcut for entering today's date in Numbers spreadsheet?

THanks, but no go.
when I open spreadsheet attachment, only option is in lower right hand corner-- a box with arrow. When I touch this icon it gives me a choice to open in Safari or Cancel. No white dots.
PLs be really basic with your response to me. I thought I am pretty computer literate but this has be baffled.
THanks. I'm sure there is something "simple" that I'm missing.

I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

TS1702 Using Numbers app, can't copy excel spreadsheet into Numbers via an attached email document on gmail. Apple instructions state that an "open in" tab should be available. Can't locate this command. Only "open in Safari" appears. Using app on iPad.

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

What does the error say?
A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

Do you have both the OS X and iOS versions of each of them?

I purchased a IPad Air with Pages and Numbers included. I was told I could use these apps on my mac book and other devices. How do I sync or access these from my mac.

I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation. It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0. How can I get this to work?

Oaky, at least we got that far. Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers. Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number. Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
Here are some that will remain as strings:
+123
123 with a space after it.
.123

From the iTunes Store, yes, all your iOS devices running on the same account will qualify.

Cant use my app shortcuts to games any more help!!

i received my new iphone 4 today as an upgrade to my pay monthly contract. had a few speedbumps trying to figure things out though i got there in the end. I dont have a very good reception where i live but my wireless internet has been working fine, been downloading apps fine etc. so i went to bed taking my phone with me to play my new games and finally remembered to restart my phone to reset the simcard to my new phone. i restarted and got a signal no problem, received text messages fine etc, so, to get to the point, i went to use one of my games (shortcut on the main screen which had been working fine all day) and nothing happened :\ just wanted to know if this was a known thing or is it the phone or something to do with me resetting the phone. When i checked the app store (shortcut working fine) its saying the games etc are still installed, tried using the games through games centre, they dont work. the only non iphone app shortcut that seems to work is my Facebook one, even twitter isnt working should i reset my system setting and risk losing all the pics n vids ive taken or will it work again at some point?
Any help greatly appreciated thank you
(ps sorry for the long winded-ness its my first iphone)

I think by shortcuts you mean apps? Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

After updating to iOS8, the Numbers app crashes every time I try to use my attendance sheet.

I have updated to iOS8.0.2 and I've updated the Numbers app. I generally use my iPad (4th gen, with retina display) to take attendance with the template in the Numbers app. However, every time I scroll through a page with check buttons, the app crashes. This did not happen before updating. Is there a way to get this on Apple's radar, as it seems to be an instability in iOS8? Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

I suggest you try another app.
All of the "Office" document editing applications on the iPad have limitations. Best try them out to see if they meet your needs.

In the numbers app, using the "date and time" function, is it possible to remove the time? I need to put together a list of dates, but I don't need or want times.

When formatting your column to date/time, pick Date & time, and then pick the letter i in the circle to the right. Then scroll down and pick "No time"

I'm using numbers on my MacBook, do I need to get seperate app to sync with phone?

I'm using numbers on my MacBook, do I need to get seperate app to sync with phone? Or should it sync through iCloud.
Also does anyone know if numbers has a similar feature to auto sum on excel, where you can quickly add a row of numbers together?
Many thanks

You have to purchase Numbers for iOS devices separately.
To add a row of numbers select the range to add, then drag the quick functions from the left (lower) of the Numbers window to the destination cell:

Hello r253,
The following troubleshooting steps can help get your documents to reappear on your devices.
Documents I've updated on my Mac or uploaded from iCloud.com don't appear on my iOS device
If you're using an iWork for iOS app (Pages, Numbers, or Keynote), check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of iWork. For third party apps, check the documentation that came with the app, or check with the app developer to make sure the app supports iCloud. App Store application descriptions often indicate whether the app supports iCloud.
Go to Apple () menu > System Preferences on your Mac. Click iCloud and confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
After opening your iOS app, wait a few minutes for the documents to appear. Your iOS device may not have connected to iCloud since changes were made to the document at iCloud.com or on your other devices.
Try creating a new document on your iOS device, then check again for the documents from iCloud to appear.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and confirm that Use Cellular Data is turned on.
Confirm that you're connected to the Internet by checking for an Edge, 3G, 4G, LTE, or Wi-Fi icon in your device's status bar. Test your connection by opening apple.com in Safari.
Try resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

I am using numbers but I am not able to update numbers and I get error that you could not able to download this app.

I am using numbers but I am not able to update last version of numbers. When I try to update that I get error that you could not able to download this app. So what should I do?

Try running the combo update.
10.9.2
If that works and it still shows as an update, try re-indexing Spotlight.
