WARNING before relying on Number for iPad

Warning - I have recently built a detailed new spreadsheet directly in numbers on iPad. Everything was working fine last night as I made some adjustments to it.
This morning I go to open the spreadsheet again and halfway through loading all I get is... "Spreadsheet can't be opened"
WHAT! - I built it all in the app! I've tried exporting it to iWork or iDisk but because it wont open the file it refuses to export the file.
This ***** - If you cannot even rely on the app to open a previous document that was already running with no new software updates or anything then this App cannot be relied upon to use in any serious way.
How helpful for it to just tell me "Spreadsheet can't be opened"
Has anyone else suffered this problem recently?

I have to agree with MauiDude - the exact same thing happened to me.  I had just purchased this app and spent two days creating a spreadsheet and entering data.  I was working in the spreadsheet and went to the web to check on a number and I got the "can't open spreadsheet" message.  I was using the spreadsheet 5 minutes earlier !!!  I created it on the iPad and only used it there since I was on vacation.
For those who say Excel and other programs have bugs -- really, that's the best you can say?  This has been a bug for over a year now and Apple still hasn't fixed a known issue with their software.  This is horrible !!  I did contact Apple support by phone and provided feedback on the support web site.  The online folks also said that ALL software has bugs.  Yet most good programers fix CRITICAL bugs in far less than a YEAR !!!  I also put a WARNING on the app store reviews. People need to know that they need to wait for this HORRIBLE BUG to be fixed.
I really did expect more from Apple.  I guess they have gotten so big now that they are no better than any other companies -- and with this program, THEY ARE FAR WORSE !!!

  • After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer  for iPods ?

    After updating to iOS 6 my iPod Touch 4th.Gen is virtually unusable ... does anyone know how to sue Apple since they gave no warning about iOS 6 being for iPad optimisation and a killer for iPods ?  Before I throw away my iPod Touch does anyone know if Apple intends to rectify their obnoxious disregard for iPod users by issuing another 'upgrade' which will allow iPods to work without the constant system crashes that iOS 6 has caused ?

    Contact a lawyer if you want to sue.
    Otherwise try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • A warning before delete all responses for your form.

    It would be nice if there was a warning that a person is going to delete all responses of there form..
    I had a person right click and left click and all responses were gone. I think he selected the upper left hand corner cell.
    He didn't know about the "redo" the could have save him loosing all response from form.

    You can recover your responses by clicking on the History widget in the bottom right corner of the View Responses Tab. Then just copy and paste the responses deleted into the latest version of the table.
    Hope this fixes your issue

    how to retrive my ipads serial numbers with out my ipad

    You may be able to if you have the original receipt and the iPad was bought from an Apple retail store or accredited dealer.   In which case it should feature on the receipt and the store can then probably trace the sale.   Where did you buy it and how long ago.

  • How do I set up a new phone number for messaging and facetime on my iPad?

    My iPad has it's own phone number through Verizon.  Before I knew this, I had already set up messages to use my iPhone number.  Now I can't figure out how to set up the iPad phone number for messages and facetime on the iPad.

  • How can I find the serial number for my stolen iPad that's associated with my apple ID ?

    How can I find the serial number for my stolen iPad that's associated with my apple ID ?

    If you registered it with Apple check your registered items at Your Support Profile for Registered Purchases. Also, see iOS- How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number.
    What To Do If Your iDevice Is Lost Or Stolen
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:
    This link, Re: Help! I misplaced / lost my iPhone 5 today morning in delta Chelsea hotel downtown an I am not able to track it. Please help!, has some good advice regarding your options when your iDevice is lost or stolen.

  • Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

    Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

  • When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs..

    When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!

    This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
    Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly.

  • How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

    Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

    Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.
