When I enter 2000 it formats it as a date (1/1/2000 00.00.00)

Hello,
I'm new to Numbers. I'm using the latest version.
But the problem is, when I enter 2000 which I would like to be a number, but it says in the lower left corner that it's: 1/1/2000 00.00.00. When I click in the format window, the dataformat is set to automatic. Have tried to change the dataformat to 'numbers', but it seems it changes it back to automatic, and I'm stuck again with the(1/1/2000 00.00.00.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, that worked.
Know I don't know what part you think is a bug. But is it supposed to be like this every time I enter certain numbers or is THAT the bug?
I would call that behavior a bug if you were pre-formatted as Automatic and a simple numeric entry turns into a Date value. It would be a failure of the compiler to properly detect the entry type.

  • I would like to format cells with time only.  when I enter a time of day the current date is still in the cell which is not necessarily so

    I would like to format cells with time only.  when I enter a time of day the current date is still in the cell which is not necessarily so.  THere are  no options for just  date .

    ... (this is a time worked by date and not always entered on the date worked)--
    "Time" in Numbers is always "Time of Day", and is always part of a Date and Time value. "Amount of Time" is a Duration value, which may be displayed in a similar format to "Time of Day," but is a different type of value.
    If you are entering the number of hours and minutes worked, format the column as Duration, set the units and the format in which you want to have the value appear.
    The Date column will still contain a Date and Time value (Jan 1, 2011 00:00:00 in the cell shown in the example), but the "Time Worked" cells will contain only a Duration value.
    Incidently, the Date in A2 was entered as "jan 1" (without the quotes). Numbers automatically adds the current year and the default time value, then displays the result in the closest format to what you've entered, or in the Date and Time format you have chosen.
    The Duration value in B2 was entered as 3:15 (as displayed). Note that in the entry bar the duration is displayed as 3h 15m, probably to distinguish it from a similarly formatted (Date and) Time value.

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
    Windows does not understand it is a guest on your Mac, and throws garabge wherever it pleases.

  • HT1918 When I enter my new card it still shows declined why is it doing this?

    When I enter my new card it still shows my card to be declined why?

    What are you trying to use as your payment method, credit card or debit card ? If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method in all countries - from this page :
    You may be able to use other payment types in your country, like debit and Maestro cards.
    which implies that they are not accepted in all countries, and there have been a number of posts about them being declined.
    For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined (but you might not be able to use a debit card) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management

  • When ever  enter the date start date up to next year same date between the days divided into 8 parts

    when ever  enter the date start date up to next year same date between the days divided into 8 parts
    Q1.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 1 for year YYYY
    Q1.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of Quarter1 for year YYYY
    Q2.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 2 for year YYYY
    Q2.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of Quarter 2 for year YYYY
    Q3.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 3 for year YYYY
    Q3.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of QuarterQ3 for year YYYY
    Q4.1 (YYYY) = 1st half of Quarter 4 for year YYYY
    Q4.2 (YYYY) = 2nd half of Quarter 4 for year YYYY
    Here YYYY depicts the year.
    e.g. Q1.2 (2014) depicts the 2nd half of Quarter 1 for year 2014.
    The description of these values are explained below.
    The table below provides the description about each value:
    Quarter     Quarter Range      Start Date
    Q1.1      1 Jan - 15 Feb         1st  Jan
    Q1.2      16 Feb-31 Mar         16th Feb
    Q2.1      1 Apr- 15 May          1st Apr
    Q2.2      16 May-30 June       16th May
    Q3.1      1 Jul-15 Aug             1th Jul
    Q3.2      16 Aug -30 Sep       16th Aug
    Q4.1      1 Oct -15 Nov           1st Oct
    Q4.2      16 Nov – 31 Dec      16th Nov
    The dropdown values in time window needs to be updated as per date entered by the user in the Audit Plan start date and
    should display the next four Quarter (each divided in 2 half  i.e. Eight values ) along with the year  from the selected Audit plan start date.
    for eg. If the Plan start date is given as August 10 2013 then the Time window will display the following options:                      
    Q3.2 (2013)                
    Q 4.1 (2013)               
    Q 4.2 (2013)               
    Q 1.1 (2014)               
    Q1.2 (2014)                
    Q2.1 (2014)                
    Q 2.2 (2014)               
    Q 3.1 (2014)               
    You can refer to the Table above and look that 10 Aug 2013 falls under the Q3.1 so Time window will display the next next 8 half Quarters ( Total 4 Quarter) till Q 3.1 for the year 2014.

    Q 2.2 (2014) 
    Q 3.1 (2014) 
    half_quarters generates the start dates of every half of a quarter, starting with the begin of the first quarter that contains the sample date.
    The next step is to order the dates and to select only those after the sample date.
    The last part formats the output and orders the data.

  • How do I view the photos ? I backed up with iPhoto closed as is recommended , when I enter time machine and click on iPhoto library is calculates there is 11gb so photos are there when I click on view using iPhoto nothing happens ????

    how do I view the photos ? I backed up with iPhoto closed as recommended but when I enter the Time Machine and click on iPhoto library it calculates there is 11gb in there so files must be present but when i click on open with iPhoto nothing happens ? any help welcome please !!??

    The external hard drive must connect to your Mac using a USB or FireWire connection.
    Note that the hard drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to work correctly with the iPhoto Library and be backed up to the Time Capsule and with the backups of your Mac.
    We are really talking about iPhoto uses here, so you should post in the iPhoto Support area for more details about this. The link is just below.

  • When i enter 2.322, it is rounded to 2.32, how do I stop this?

    You're still using Safari for Windows?!? They stopped updating that in 2012!
    You can change the region settings on an iPhone in Settings>Genera>Language and Region. However, you may still want to talk to the developers of the website and have them fix the formatting on their end.
    Best of luck.

  • TS1702 Cannot install apps at all in app store, even free. iPhone 4 says there is a billing issue and wants my security code which when I enter it, it claims it's invalid...

    Cannot install apps at all in app store. iPhone 4 says there is a billing issue and wants my  credit card secruity code which when I enter, it claims it's an invalid code...

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when i enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username

    Hi. I am using a time capsule for few PC s. I have made 5 different account to access time capsule. but in windows when I enter account name and password for one account, i cannot access other accounts, because windows saves username. how can i prevent this from happenning. I really need to access all my accounts and dont want it to save automaticlly.

    Why have 5 accounts if you need to access all of them.. just have one account?
    Sorry I cannot follow why you would even use the PC to control the Time Capsule. Apple have not kept the Windows version of the utility up to date.. so they keep making it harder and harder to run windows with apple routers.

    When sending email from the Mail App or through other Apps on my iPad, my default From: address will change when I enter a To: address.  This sometimes leads me to send the email from the wrong outgoing email account.  It is frustrating and poor design, especially since I had already checked the From: address.

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

  • My iPhone rejects my passcode when I enter it the first and the second time

    My iPhone rejects my passcode when I enter it the first and the second time. Why?

    Is it random? Does it occasionally accept the passcode, or does the passcode seem to be changed?

    UDPATE:
    Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated.  Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi).  Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
    After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in  iCloud.  Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
    Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync.  Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
    Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
    BOTTOM LINE workaround:
    1. Backup contacts
    2. Delete contacts in iCloud
    3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
    4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
    Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented.  This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and I cant get any apps even if they are free, and I just Deleted some apps to make room for my new upate!

    The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
    I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.
    And yes, I paid with the card a meal in Burguer King today. And nothing more.
