Taking info from Column and Pasting to another Column without losing content?

Hi Numbers Masters,
I am working on an e-commerce store CSV spreadsheet.
For instance:
I have column "A" which is a description of a product and column "B" which is a SKU Number. I want the SKU number column info to be added to Column "A" without deleting the description content in Column "A". There is different values for each SKU number in column B and different content for info in Column "A".
If I copy and paste I lose the info in Column "A" and am just left with info from Column "B".
THANK YOU

In Excel I would do this
Save a copy of the file.
Concatenate the text by creating a formula in a third column that "adds" the contents of A and B.
Then inspect the column
I expect Numbers works similarly.
Use the & function to add strings (Descriptions or SKU)
Something like this
A1 & B1
A1 & " " & B1
gives you a space
A1 & " -" & B1
gives you a dash
Description
SKU
Combine

TS4002 How to sign out from iCloud and move to another one without deleting the fist one?

I need to get out from iCloud account to get in to another but without deleting the first one. It's a long story and it's pretty messed up. I really need your help guys. IF it's possible to sign out from iCloud and move to another PLEASE tell me ! Thanks in advice!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can sign into more than one account at once, providing you only need one primary account, what exactly are you trying to do.

Can I copy and paste into word doc without losing formatting (ie., charts and columns, etc.)

We were recently given the opportunity to have our office files scanned to searchable PDF. Now that we have an opportunity to work with the PDFs, we are interested to know if we can take text and formatting of an existing document, copy and paste it into word for editing. So far I have only been able to copy and paste the text, which I then have to reformat, space and enter into a chart, etc. We are currently using Adobe Reader. Is this a possibility if we upgrade or install a different program, such as, Adobe Acrobat?
Thank you for any and all help!

"Formattng" per se does not exist in PDF.

Move iPad from one iTunes acct to another w/o losing content?

I got a new iPad and my wife is taking over the older one. I have an iTunes account, in my name, on my computer. She has her own account on a separate machine, which she's previously used mostly to manage music on a shuffle -- in other words, there are no apps in that library. Is there any way she can associate this iPad with her account, on her computer, without forfeiting the apps that I've bought and installed? We'd hate to have to buy them again, but we really do prefer each having our separate account and library.

Bearskate,
As I (mis)understand it, from other tools to the Type Tool, you can just press the T key.
Unfortunately, you cannot press the relevant other key with any kind of Type object selected because that will just add that letter somewhere.
You can see the keystrokes for the different tools when you hover over them.

I live in a home with two other people, and one housemate tried to sync up his content from iTunes and iCloud onto another housemate's new iPad. the iTunes library only contains my content. is there any way to retrieve the there person's iCloud?

Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

With computer running Windows 7 using the curser can select an item, then right click and select copy. With computer running Windows 8 there is a hand instead of a curser therefore unable to select an item, therefore unable to copy. Is there a way to have a curser rather than the hand?
Eureka!!! Just found by right clicking on the hand can then select “Select Tool” and then copy. Hurray!!!

After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.

After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages. I used to be able to select multipule cells in a row (such as company name, address, etc.) then paste and match style on to a pages letter. I found the paste and match style option in the edit menu, however it will only work one cell at a time. Before the update is was working great.

For diagnosing purpose thy the procedure in a new user account and see if it works there. You create a new user account in the System Preferences > Accounts. If it works in the new account it is probably a corrupt plist file that needs to be deleted.

How do I copy a color theme from Kuler and paste it to a word document?

Unless there is something unusual about the table, it should copy in by selecting in Pages, selecting Copy, moving to Keynote, tapping, seelcing paste.
If the table structure is copying in, but you can't see the text (is that what is happening?), you might try selecting ghe table and changing the text color using the formatting tool.

Why when I copy a cell and paste into another it pastes into the middle of three cells?

Why when I copy a cell and paste into another it pastes into the middle of three cells? I was very fond of using numbers as it was straightforward and much better than Excel. But I made the mistake of installing Mavericks and Numbers 3.0. Now it is worse than Word at doing what it thinks it wants to do rather than what you want to do. I can no longer copy a cell and paste it into another. For some reason on pasting, instead of pasting into just one other cell it pastes into the middle of three cells - what the ****?

Thanks Badunit for your quick response
I have found the answer - it is a incompatabilty between CopyPaste Pro and Numbers: -
Thanks dbg1596 - solved my problem with which I wasted a good couple of hours getting more and more frustrated with numbers 3.0
I had the same problem - copy a cell - paste into another cell and it created three vertical cells with the pasted data in the middle
Definitely a problem between CopyPaste Pro - one of the most useful aps on my Mac for the last many years
Once I quit CopyPaste Pro - no problem with pasting in Numbers 3.0
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time
Have the folks responded to your query?
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time - hope that it can be sorted sooner rather than later

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview
