Still learning Numbers; want to create a "macro"

I'm using an iMac 27, running the most current update of OS X Mavericks.  Having crossed over from 20 years of Excel, I need help learning how to accomplish the following in Numbers (most current update, running on said iMac, OS X Mavericks):
I have a spreadsheet in Numbers where I have codified my library item activities.
For example, I have columns capturing STATUS, LOCATION, TITLE, AUTHOR, DUE DATE, with data in them like this:
100     ASC     Numbers for Idiots     Author, Name     Due date 06/30/14
What Numbers functionality do I need to research in order to create a function that when activated creates a Reminder item so that will get a reminder when the item is due?
I'd have created a Macro or whatever the Excel programming language is for this kind of cross-over, but I have had difficulty figuring out what Numbers can do in this regard and what I need to study in order to create this function.
Thanks.
Darrell

As far as I know, you can use AppleScript Editor to create macros. I'm not sure if it will work the way you need.
Another solution is to use conditional highlight for change style of items close to due date. But you won't have a reminder. Just a different visual style.

  • How do I create a new account for an iPod that is on an existing account?  My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased.

    My brother and I have shared an account for five years, and now that I'm moving out, I want to create my own separate account but still want to be able to play the music I've purchased over five years. 

    In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so.  You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
    That's all you should need to.  Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

    I recommend reaching out to Citrix via their support system -
    http://www.citrix.com/products/receiver/resources-and-support.html
    The receiver app has a specific list of servers it's compatible with, if the server is not on the list the app won't work in OS X.

  • Want to create a InDesign document that is Interactive as a PDF

    I want to create an InDesign form that is made into a PDF that can be filled out (populated with their answers) and returned via email to someone.
    Can I make the document in InDesign or do I have to do it in Acrobat? I am running CS2.
    If you can point me into the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Barb

    Just started doing interactive PDFs so I'm learning as I go. Been using Sandee's VQS and Scott Citron's Professional Design Techniques to learn the mechanics. Scott's book is my current favorite. Sure hope he gets well soon.
    I rushed through most of the books to get the first issue out but I have a week or so to smooth out my template. Main concern is navigation. I don't want page numbers on the pages but I do want people to click on nav guide and be taken to a specific page. Here's an example of what I mean (note how the page you're on is indicated in red):
    layout template
    I can't upload the entire PDF since it's proprietary material. Not even sure there is still an Adobe magazine. Is that now called Layers?
    Reading up on bookmarks, buttons and hyperlinks this morning. If I complete my template today, I'll put it up later.

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

  • One account with two skype numbers, want to forwar...

    that's it. i have one skype account that had one skype number forwarding to one land number. works fine. bought another skype number in order to forward to a 2nd land number. but cant find any way to do this on skype.  skype just wants all forwarding for both skype number to go to the same land number (or numbers).
    other than creating a 2nd account for the second number/forwarding, is there a way to do what i want to do here?
    or, if i need to set up a 2nd account for the 2nd number, is there any way to get skype to apply the 2nd skype number and the payment (that has already been processed) for that number to the 2nd account?
    pls let me know, thanks for help.

    the Skype client cannot distinguish between incoming calls that were placed to each Skype Number
    Skype Numbers are for incoming calls only, and that's all the Skype client sees . . . an incoming call
    unfortunately, you also cannot transfer a Skype Number from one account to another
    sorry that's not what you wanted to hear

  • How do I remove iMessage "sign in" box from my IPad "messages" screen. I don't want to create a new Apple ID but I can't close this box.

    When selecting the "Messages" sceen on my IPad, the iMessage "Sign in" box appears on the screen. I don't want to create a new Apple ID but I can't close this box which is preventing me using the normal text message screen. How do I get rid of this sign-in box?

    I made my apple id today on my ipad 2 ios 6 update and i went straight to logging in on iMessage, i logged in, after reading i clicked next, i got the email to verify on my ipod so i verified but as it was still verifying on the ipad it went right back to the log in box. this repeated itself over and over, help?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then seeRecover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • I want to create for the first time ever an iPhoto library on my Mac Mini from all of my seperate external hard drives over the years. Instead of filling my Mac Mini hard drive space with all of the pics can I import it to a seperate Apple hard drive.

    I want to creat for the first time on my Mac Mini an iPhoto library. I have many seperate hard drives with pics I want to import but are concerned I will fill the hard drive with pics alone. Can I install the pics on one larg (1TB) external apple hard drive and use iPhoto functions still with the pics being installed on a seperate drive from the iPhoto OS?

    This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice:
    You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    Once that is done you can import directly into the iPhoto library on the external HD.

    I have a photo of an ice surface and another of a flower. Now I want to create a merged photo with the flower lying under the ice. I understand that I shall use the function "Layer" and have even read in the manual and looked on a video, but that information is not sufficiently detailed for me. I have tried several options, but I come now way. Generally it seems that your information is only for the ones who can, not for the people who can´t although it is we who really need to learn. Please give me a step by step (click by click) information on how I can get the ice above the flower and then make the ice partly transparent so the flower is seen underneath. Please send me an e-mail Erik Solbu [email protected]

    Open a new document big enough for your image. Then additional open your ice and flower image as well. Copy each and paste it into your blank document. They will be placed on their own separate layers.
    Make sure in your layers panel. (Bottom right) the ice is above the flower, by dragging it in place. In that same layers panel click the ice layer to select in and find the opacity meter above. Drag to the left until you get the effect you desire.
