UITableView can´t reload cell contents

Hi,
I´m trying to reload the table view using [tableView reloadData]; and it works fine, the table view reloads its data. The problema is that the cell contents don´t change.
When I create the cells at cellForRowAtIndexPath, I use:
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];
if(cell == nil){
cell = [self reuseTableViewCellWithIdentifier:identifier];
When I reload the data, the cells keep the same identifier, but it shouldn´t. Is there anyway to complete clear all the references between the cells and its identifiers and then reload the table view?
Thanks,
Pitteri

Hi, the identifier is not ment to identify a single cell but a specific type of cell. Each cell of the same type should have the same identifier. So even a cell is reused, you still have to set it's content to be displayed correctly.
It's absolute correct that the identifier stays the same on reload.

There appear to be big problems with Mavericks Mail, particularly if it's used for Gmail. Have other users noticed that it slows to a crawl and can't reload the contents of a folder instantly....Is there a fix coming?

There is a large thread relating to Gmail, but nothing that sounds like that.

Can InDesing flow cell contents across pages?

I'm working in InDesign CS5 on a book project that contains a very long table (3 columns by 300+ rows over about 120 pages). The cell contents is all text and the center columns' cells contain some very long passages (the left column contains dates and the right column is short source citations). The table was originally created in Word Perfect -- I coverted it to an MS Word document, checked it and saved it, then imported it into ID using the Place command. All goes along very smoothly until I get to a row where the text in the center cell is very long indeed -- too long to fit on less than one whole page, so ID forces it to the next whole page (see the screen shot below). Problem is, this is intended to be a continuous table. In MS Word, the text in the cell happily flows to the next page. I need to do that in ID, but HOW? Any advise is gratefully appreicated. Thanks. Kirk

ID will not break a cell across a column or page boundary. About the only thing I can think of to do waht you want would be to add a row to the table, then adjust the height of the tall row manually so the cell goes overset and cut the excess, then paste into the new row.

Can you protect cell contents? Say, if I have this great formula I don't want changed.

I have multiple spreadsheets that I use formulas in. MOST of them were created in Excel, and I"m migrating over.
In Excel, I could lock a cell from being changed. Can the same thing be accomplished in Numbers?
Thanks!

No guarantee because happily, the list of feature is defined by Apple, not by us. In the other case, the result is the awful gas factory named Excel.

I recently had to install a new hard drive in my computer. This caused me to have to reload all content back to my iTunes and iPod. I have many apps on my iPod and i don't know how to transfer those back to my iTunes. Can anyone help?

Right clicking on your ipod in the device list an d choosing "transfer purchases" will copy apps and bought media from iTunes to your computer. Due to the new iTunes library on your new HD, iTunes will erase your ipod during the first sync. To save your data to the computer take a look at this article about saving data from your device to a computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Basically it's backing up manually, transferring her purchases (apps and bought music), letting iTunes erase the ipod due to the new iTunes library, and restoring from the manual backup again, to get all the data and settings back.
Make sure your new computer account is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Why can't I see cell contents in transfered excel for mac spreadsheet?

I had my old mac data migrated to my new mac. The cell contents in the excel for mac files do not appear - not does anything I type in a cell. the contents do appear in the fomula bar. I checked the font color and its on automatic. What am I missing??

Post on the Microsoft Mac forums, as it's their software you're having issues with:

Is it possible to use wildcards to match cell contents in an if statement?

I need to return a ID along with some other information on a page by page basis, so that the information comes out linked by position. I use a couple of loops and if statements to navigate through the document. I am able to use exact matches of cell contents which is fine when the contents doesn't vary. But the IDs, though they have a similar pattern, are all different. In a menu driven search, I am able to find what I need with '150^9^9^9^9^9-^9^9^9' But when I try putting this (or any number of [0-9], *, ? combinations) it fails. Is it possible to use wildcards? The symbol used for the match (==) makes me suspect that it is not possible and that only literal, exact matches will work. But I wanted to check with the experts before giving up.
Thanks
pcbaz

Thanks for the input. You're right, a GREP search is much more efficient. But what I'm trying to do and the circumstances here don't allow me, I think, to go that route. I am trying to generate a list of values coming from several textframes on a single page and have them come out so that I can tell which values belong together.
I'm using an inherited document with masters that were created 'manually'; the index numbering for textframes and tables is random. I navigate through the pages, looping through textframe indices asking ' does this textframe exist?' If so, I ask if it is a table -- if no, it is a simple textframe and I ask about the ID, if yes, I ask if the contents of cell (0,0) (invariant position and contents) are equal to the table I want.. I am sending the ID and other pieces of information from the table to one row of a new table on a new page. So the ID and other information from a single page are linked by being in the same row.
I know this a little 'off-normal' -- I'm using the search to navigate through the document and find things by location the way you do with a spreadsheet. I have devised a work-around that helps me get around the fact that the ID is not invariant. I create a list of the (exact) IDs from another document, equating them to a variable ('a'). I then loop through the list of IDs and ask if the contents of the textframe is equal to 'a'..This works o.k, unless there happens to be an extra space, a different kind of hyphen, etc. It would be so much easier if I could use the wildcards that work in a menu-driven text or GREP search in script just to ask about the contents of the textframe.
Thanks again
pcbaz (Peter BIerly)
P.S. we have since rewritten the masters so this problem will not exist in the future -- we now know exactly which textframe and/or table indices to refer to to get any particular bits of information and don't need to ask questions about the contents.

Drag and Drop of cell content between 2 tables

Hi Guys,
Iam into implementing drag and drop of cell contents between 2 different tables,say Table1 and Table2.(Iam not dragging and dropping rows or cells,Just copying the content of one cell to another).
Have extended the java tutorial class "TableTransferHandler" and "StringTransferHandler" under http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo to satisfy my needs.
The drag is enabled for Table1 and table2 as follows.
jTable1.setDragEnabled(true);
jTable1.setTransferHandler(new TableTransferHandler());
jTable2.setDragEnabled(true);
jTable2.setTransferHandler(new TableTransferHandler());
Dont be taken aback with the code I have put.It just to show what I have done..
My questions are put at the end of the post..
//String Transfer Handler class.
public abstract class StringTransferHandler extends TransferHandler {
    protected abstract String exportString(JComponent c);
    protected abstract void importString(JComponent c, String str);
    protected abstract void cleanup(JComponent c, boolean remove);
    protected Transferable createTransferable(JComponent c) {
        return new StringSelection(exportString(c));
    public int getSourceActions(JComponent c) {
        return COPY_OR_MOVE;
    public boolean importData(JComponent c, Transferable t) {
        if (canImport(c, t.getTransferDataFlavors())) {
            try {
                String str = (String)t.getTransferData(DataFlavor.stringFlavor);
                importString(c, str);
                return true;

}Now I want to put in the following functionality into my program...
[1]prevent dragging and dropping text in to the same table.That means I dont want to drag a cell content from Table1 and drop to another cell in Table1. Want to drag and drop cell content only from Table1 to Table2.
[2]Change cursor on a un-defined Target. That means how to prevent a drag from a particular column in Table1.Also how to prevent a drop to a particular column in Table2. How to change the cursor to a "NO-DRAG" cursoror "NO-DROP" cursor.
Could it be done using Drag Source Listener and drop Target Listener?.
If yes,How can these listeners attached to the table and how to do it?
If No,How Could it be done?
[3]Want to change the background colour of the cell being dragged and also the background colour of the target cell where the drop is made...
[4]Is there any out of the box way to make an undo in the target cell(where drop was made) so that the old cell value is brought back.
How can I extend my code to take care of the above said things.
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.....

Space in table cell content

Hi,
I want to add some space before and after the table cell content. I am using setIntercellSpacing() method to achieve that and I could get the required functionality. But its adding space in the Table Header also which looks odd. Is there any way to set the spacing only for the cell and not for the table header.
Let me know if anyone has solution for this.
Thanks and Regards,
R.Vishnu Varadhan.

I find this behaviour of setIntercellSpacing() very annoying, too. Why the hell did the Swing developers implement it that way?
Nevertheless, you can create the desired effect by writing a custom cell renderer, but that is if course more work than that single method call.

Display cell contents as text instead of evaluating as a numeric expression

If I enter a value such as 21/27 in a cell, Numbers interprets it as 21 divided by 27 and displays the result, but that's not what I want. I want 21/27 to be displayed. How can I do that?
Thanks,
Pete

1) You can format the cell as text only
2) or you can leave the formatting as "Automatic" and precede the contents of the cell with a single quote " ' "

Centering table cell content in panel grid

How can I center the content of the cells in a table grid so it would end up something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">

You can do that using stylesheet. You can look at the
repeater demo example for ideas. The corresponding
stylesheet class is components/web/stylesheet.css .
Hope this helps.
-JayashriI think we need more powerfull layout oriented components.
XAML, XUL, ADF all of them have powerfull layout components library.
Maybe it's time start working in this direction.
I'm sure that JSF must provide in near future more powerfull layout related components library, no doubt here!
After that it will be possible to remove from styles classes and jsp code everything that was used for layout.
Layout components will take care about align components, preferred size and etc.
We need minimize number of style classes.
That possible if you will make them more universal.
But no way to make universal style classes with layout related attributes inside them.
Take a look on simple layout case:
<s:row align="opposite" styleClass="footerPage">
<h:outputText value="#{bundle.copyright}"/>
<h:outputText value="#{bundle.terms}"/>
</s:row>
public class RowRenderer extends HtmlBasicRenderer {
public RowRenderer() {
super();
public boolean getRendersChildren() {
return true;
public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context, UIComponent component) throws IOException {
if (!component.isRendered())
return;
ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
writer.startElement("div", component);
writeIdAttributeIfNecessary(context, writer, component);
String styleClass = (String) component.getAttributes().get("styleClass");
if (styleClass != null) {
writer.writeAttribute("class", styleClass, "styleClass");
Util.renderPassThruAttributes(writer, component);
public void encodeChildren(FacesContext context, UIComponent component) throws IOException {
if (!component.isRendered())
return;
Iterator kids = null;
String style = null;
int i = 0;
String align = (String) component.getAttributes().get("align");
if (align == null) align = "start";
if (null != (kids = getChildren(component))) {
while (kids.hasNext()) {
UIComponent child = (UIComponent) kids.next();
if (!child.isRendered())continue;
style = (String) child.getAttributes().get("style");
style = (style != null) ? style + ";" : "";
if ( (align == "start") || (align == "left"))
style += "float: left;";
else
if ( (align == "end") || (align == "right"))
style += "float: right;";
else
if (align == "opposite") {
if ((i % 2) == 0)
style += "float: left;";
else
style += "float: right;";
child.getAttributes().put("style", style);
encodeRecursive(context, child);
i++;
public void encodeEnd(FacesContext context, UIComponent component) throws IOException {
if (context == null || component == null) {
throw new NullPointerException(Util.getExceptionMessageString(
Util.NULL_PARAMETERS_ERROR_MESSAGE_ID));
if (!component.isRendered())
return;
ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
writer.endElement("div");
It's good idea in many layout situations to use tableless layout.
Row component just simple demonstration how it work.
There are some problems with implementation and using tableless layout
but at least in some cases it's good choise.
I'm ready to provide plenty suggestions in area of creating and using layout components.
Just don't know if you have interest to discuss that matter.

How can I reload previous purchases that are lost of iPod

How can I reload itunes purchases that are lost of both my ipod and my computer?

Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.

Cell contents in the condition of SUMIFS

the function SUMIFS(sum-values, test-values, condition, test-values..., condition...) i am not able to use cell contents for the "condition" (=C2) because it says syntax error.
anyone can help on this?
best regards, Paulo

A condition that includes a cell reference would be like this:
"operator"&C2 where you replace the word operator (keeping the quotes) with a less than, greater than or equals symbol or any valid combination of those operators. I would provide examples but the parser for this forum messes up my examples.
The exception is "equals" which does not require the operator, it would simply be C2

How to extract characters or digits from cell content

Hi,
I'm trying to find out how I can grab a part of a cell content. Example: The cell has the content "1.22.333".
Now, I need to just grab the last part of that (and sometimes also the middle part). I tried to use the FIND and RIGHT function but the problem is that they need the amount of digits which can be different (1.2.3 or 1.22.333).
How can I grab/calculate just the "1" or "22" or "333" from that?
p.

Hi papa,
Here is a workaround, but it involves a word processor such as Pages or Word.
Copy your cells and paste into a blank word processor document.
In Pages, go to:
Menu > Edit > Find > Find...
Click on the Advanced button.
Type a full stop ('period' in AmericanSpeak) in the Find box.
In the Replace box, use the 'Insert' Pop-up menu to insert a Tab.
Replace All.
Copy and paste into blank cells in Numbers:
How can I grab/calculate just the "1" or "22" or "333" from that?
Grab what you want!

Re-name worksheet tabs from cell contents?

Is is possible to re-name worksheet tabs automatically from cell contents in another sheet within the same workbook?
I have a workbook with 30 sheets all feeding data into sheet 31 - the Master Worksheet where all the data is collated etc.
There are occasions when I'll need to rename the individual sheets, but is there a way to change this in my 'master worksheet' without having to go back and individually re-name all the other sheets?

General,
At this time there is no way to do what you want. If you can formulate a clear feature request you can post your idea to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback".
There is a way, however, to use a function called indirect() that can take input from a table to construct a cell reference. Not know your specific setup it is hard to provide a specific suggestion.
