Some numbers suddenly formatted weirdly

The last few days, seemingly without me having changed anything that I am aware of, iTunes has started displaying some numbers as either ^1, ^2 and so forth, or in some sort of scientific format (such as -1.98828e). It seems to be calculated numbers (such as number of artists in the Artist column when using the column browser, or the size of the iTunes library) that get this treatment.
I have tried to delete the library and recreate it from the XML file, but that did not help. I also tried to delete the plist files - no lock, either.
Any other ideas? It does look rather silly...

  • How do I get my contact phone numbers to format properly?

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 4S on Verizon.  The majority of my contact phone numbers are now in the format: 1234567890.  On my old iPhone 4 (AT&T) they were displayed as (123) 456-7890.
    This is causing several problems.
    When I try to dial from contacts, Verizon keeps insisting the numbers are international, and I don't have international service.
    When a call from a contact comes in, it shows the number, not the name (it cannot correlate the caller ID number with the name in my contact list).  The same with text messages.
    I cannot get Siri to dial any of these contacts.
    I am syncing via iCloud, and was on my last phone.  In Address Book on my Macintosh the numbers are formatted properly, and show as US numbers.
    I've searched through settings, but I don't see any way to change how Contacts on the iPhone displays numbers.
    Is there some way to convince my phone that these are US numbers, format them correctly, and stop giving me trouble dialing them please?

    I had this problem also and did the same thing. I dialed *228, chose option 1 and it worked. My question is that my phone, which is a 4S and on Verizon, is the only iPhone I've ever had. The format of my numbers just changed. I didn't realize it until I noticed that I was getting calls from people on my contact list and the number, not the name, was coming up. Is there a reason that this happened? I'd like to know in case it was something I did so I can be sure not to do it again.

  • HT3350 what can you do when you get this warning? "Scouting Book  Collection Index" could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the "Numbers Document" format.

    “Scouting Book  Collection Index” could not be handled because Numbers cannot open files in the “Numbers Document” format.

    This file was created in 2002 in MSword but this had been forgotten.
    When I went to open it.... (MSword) was not a program option on my laptop. For some reason, I assumed that either Pages or Numbers wouild open the file. How the file was created was forgotten and had no file Info, but I new that it was a table of valuable information.
    The warning threw me off, because it led me to believe that it was a Numbers file. which Numbers would not open. A paradox.
    I took the file to a laptop in OSXpanther with MSoffice and it opened in MSword. Problem Solved.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Can't connect to some numbers on iPhone 4s after updating to iOS 8

    Since updating to iOS 8, I can successfully call some numbers, but for some I  get a message such as "Welcome to Verizon Wireless. Your call cannot be completed as dialed. Please check the number and dial again."  There's also a mention of "switch 18-2". But I can make the call from a landline. Any fixes?

    Try a reset of network settings. To do so, tap on Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This will not delete your personal data.

  • I'm having a problem sending photos to some numbers via messages.

    I'm having problems sending pictures via messages. Some numbers (where the people have IPhones ) they go though where others as soon as I hit send they comeback Not delivered. Help?

    You may be transmitting to Apple users using iMessage.  But to transmit to non-Apple users, you must rely on your cellular carrier's MMS.
    First, you must have Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging set "On".  Second, you must have an MMS arrangement with your cellular carrier.

  • I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel.  When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes.  How do I fix this?

    I created a spreadsheet using Microsoft office 2010 Excel.  When I open the sheet using Numbers, the formatting changes.  How do I fix this?

    If you plan to share or work with people who regulary use MS Excel you should not try to use this in Numbers.  You will have constant problems with how each program translates the formatting.
    If you want to use Numbers, use it exclusively.  If it is for your job use the tool your company uses.

  • Print out some numbers

    Hello:
    At the movement I got array nums[]={"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"},
    Please tell me how to print out some numbers from the array by using for loop, and the result exactly like System.out.println( " 1 2 3 4 "); System.out.println(" 5 6 7 8);
    Please run my codeing first, I'd like the result exactly same as my coding showing.
    Thanks
    import java.awt.*;
    public class Test{
    private static Test t;
    private static String nums[]={"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7","8"};
    public static void main(String [] args){
         t=new Test();
    private Test(){
         print();
    private void print(){
         System.out.println(" 1 2 3 4 ");
         System.out.println(" 5 6 7 8 ");
    }

    Ugh!
    I didn't see that you wanted 1,2,3,4 and 5,6,7,8 on new lines. This will do the trick. It's ugly but it works.
    public class Test
        private static Test t;
        private static String nums[] = {"1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8"};
        public static void main( String[] args )
            new Test();
        private Test()
            print();
        private void print()
            for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
                if (i == 4) {
                    // Print a Blank Line
                    System.out.println("");
                String num = nums;
    System.out.print(num + " ");

    Sounds like the app is having issues starting. Maybe choking on a file that didn't close correctly?
    Suggest going to System Preferences, General, place a check next to "Close windows when quitting the application".
    Then follow the direction in the link above. Namely, Force Quit that app and restart the computer.

  • I cant send messages to some numbers

    Hi there,
    I'm sorry if this is in the wrong topic thread,can anyone help please. I recently got an Iphone4s. It will not let me text certain numbers. I can receive messages from them and make calls to them. When I reply to their SMS I get Not delivered alert on my phone. I have tried deleting them as contacts and adding their numbers again. I have restored phone setting but no joy. I sent a message to one number fine earlier and just tried to send them another and got a not delivered alert. It is only some numbers not all that I am having this problem with. It makes no difference if I select the number from contacts or if I input number manually.
    I have also checked softwear updates and it is up to date.
    Thanks

  • Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone will not send text messages to some numbers.

    Does anyone have a clear solution as to why my new iPhone 5 will not send text messages to some numbers?

    I had problems the first few days with text messaging on my new cell. I checked my new contract service thru AT&T online, and it turned out the guy who set up my phone didn't sign me up for the unlimited texting I told him I HAD to have!  I just had to add texting back into my contract.....problem solved.  I hope your problem is solved this easily.

  • Texts refusing to go through to some numbers only

    I am at my wits' end. I have recently moved to australia. I have switched over to pre-paid for the time being. But now my imessage won't activate, whatsapp says my new number is not a valid australian mobile number, and some of my texts won't go through. Only some numbers are affected, the ones i used to use whatsapp for. Nothing i do is fixing it. I did a sim swap, i toggled the flight mode, i deleted and reloaded whatsapp, i restarted a million times. The guys at the local telstra is shrugging. They have no idea why. Neither have i. Can someone help? Please? Pretty please? I have an iphone 5.

    Hi Berven, 
    Welcome to Crowdsupport. 
    Can you tell me what iOS version you are using? If you're using iOS7, we've been working with Apple to investigate delays some people are having and hope to have more info soon. 
    With regards to apps, you may need to install and uninstall the app or reset the phone. Before resetting, be sure to back your device up.

  • Spa500s place some numbers before dialing

    Hi,
    Can I use spa500s buttons to put some numbers before dial?
    For exemple, I want to use one route in my asterisk server, but I don't want to digit some numbers to identify the route, I want that the numbers which do that are placed before I start dialing
    Thank you

    I don't know about what you are referring to when you refer to a "pause/comma comma feature can be found on the dialer". I haven't found one.
    The only way I found to successfully get commas/pauses in a phone number is to put the number in my address book and then sync that to the iPhone. It works great. I believe that each comma is about a 2 second pause (don't quote me on that part).
