When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser.

When I try to share a Numbers spreadsheet with other Mac users, (via iMessages) it doesn't open on Numbers app but instead on Numbers for iCloud beta, on their browser. and worse all the letters appear out of format and unreadable.
Is there any option that i'm getting wrong
How can we solve this.
Usualy we use Google drive documents to share some spreadsheets, but we wanted to share the same document with numbers (that's much better) but it doesn't work as easily as in google drive and doesn't even remotely works how it was supposed.

Don't know why those letters wouldn't display properly; maybe something to do with their settings at Safari > Preferences > Advanced > Default Encoding or similar setting in whatever browser they are using. But it's really easy for them to download the document via the "wrench" in the Numbers for iCloud menu. Then they can open it in the Numbers app.
For "real-time" collaboration, I think you all need to be accessing Numbers for iCloud via the browser.

  • Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

    Dear fellow Apple owners,
    Is it normal that, when I try to share something on my iphone 5, be it via e-mail or textmessage, my keyboard is no longer touching the bottom of my screen, it 'floats' in the middle of my screen, making it impossible to choose the addressee?

    Has anybody seen this before?
    I had it in 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4
    All of them have the same problem...
    Does anybody have a solution?

    Hey StevenKusters,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities! First I would try backing up and erasing all content and settings, but if that doesn't resolve the issue you can use iTunes to restore your iOS device - part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.

  • Set defaults on a Numbers for iCloud beta spreadsheet?

    Hi Everyone,
    How can I set page defaults on a Numbers for iCloud beta spreadsheet?  I want to have the size set to 100% and the  Format panel hidden.  At present I have to re-set these values everytime I re-open the file.  I have loooked in help but can't see any relevant info.  I'm running Mavericks.
    Thanks, Dave. D.

    Further to my post on April 23, I have noticed that when I save a numbers file on my Mac, all the changes I have made to things like the size, whether the format panel is visible, even the window extents etc. are all saved with the file.  Of course this is what you would expect but in the iCloud Beta version there is no Save command so I assume that is why these things are not saved.  Does anyone know if this is correct or if there is a work around?
    Thanks,
    Dave. D.

  • I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

    I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

    I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes.  Now it's dad and husband, every time!  Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails. 
    And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered".  So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point.  I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions.  (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck.  I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

    It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

  • How do I add a comment to a cell in Numbers for iCloud beta like I can in Numbers for ios???

    I can't be the only person to find it incredibly frustrating that it seems impossible to add a comment to a cell in beta. I use this function a lot on my ipad - is it really not available in beta?? And if not, why not??

    Hey lolitajoon,
    Thanks for the question. You are correct, comments are hidden from all iWork apps when imported to iWork for iCloud beta. Please note that the current release of Numbers for iCloud is a beta version. Therefore, certain features aren’t yet supported.

  • Can I use Icloud to store and share other files, with other Mac users?

    Hello, I was just wondering if I could use iCloud to store and share files with other Mac users over the internet? Thanks!

    I would suggest re posting in the iCloud for Mac forum where all the people in here that are experts with that hang out.  Good luck.

  • Can i share certain photos with other iphone users via icloud

    Hey zubairl,
    Thanks for the question. For Privacy, you must be the original owner of the calendar to share with others. Because you are simply subscribed to the calendar, you do not see the option for sharing. To resolve your issue, have the owner of the calendar “share” it with the recipient, or have the recipient subscribe to the calendar just as you have done (if you have access to the public subscription link).

  • Share automator file with other MAC users

    I created an automator file to rename a group of files.
    It works correctly in my MAC
    If I transfer this file to other MAC users via DMG file will it work on their machines 10.6.8 and 10.7.5

    It really depends on what actions are compatable to theirs. Can you upload a screen shot of your workflow?
    I use Automator a lot and share with a lot of people with macs.

  • I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

    I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP iCal via WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete"

    When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP (OS 10.7) iCal via iTunes and WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete because the downloading never completes because I am not connected to the internet.
    Why does syncing iCal need Safari Safe Browsing Data?  How can I turn this off?

  • In iMovie when I try to share a project to a file on an external hard drive it will work the first time but subsequently it says it is sharing but gives no time and file name and in fact just sits there not sharing the file.

    I have iMovie 10.0.4.  I want to transfer some old DV tape videos to MPEG 4 files to be stored on a 4 TB external drive. I successfully imported the video to iMovie, created a project by moving all captured files into a project and the first time I shared the project to a file  it worked as expected.  Every subsequent try to transfer another video would fail to transfer.  When I clicked save it gives the warning that it is too big for iCloud, iso I click create on this computer.  The progress circle comes up with no indication of progress.  The show activity drop down just says sharing to "file" no file name as in the first one and indicates no time remaining.  In fact it just sits there apparently doing nothing.  I'v tried it a half dozen times, deleted everything and started over.  It transfers the first project to file and then nothing on additional tries.  What do I have wrong, am I missing something?

    In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

  • Share core 9iAS (Linux) with other local users?

    Finally set up core 9iAS on Red Hat. Now I'd like to know how to configure it to either start as a system service, be runnable by users other than 'oracle', or be persistent even after 'oracle' logs off. Bottom line: disassociate the 9iAS processes from the 'oracle' user session.
    Since I only have one dual-boot Linux box for dev purpose (no dedicated server here! :-)), what I want to do is to first start 9iAS, then connect to it from a regular user account via JDeveloper.
    Tried changing file permissions and using nohup - neither works.
    Thanks,
    Miles

    Creating new users for SMB access is way too complicated, because Apple has not really implemented the "sharing user" fully for SMB users. Thus, when you create a new user, and go to System Prefs -> Sharing -> File Sharing -> Options, the sharing user is NOT listed under the users to enable for access via SMB.
    However, there is a workaround that can get your "sharing user" up and going via SMB.
    1. Go to System Prefs -> Accounts. Click on the padlock to authenticate as admin.
    2. Then right click on your "sharing only" user (not Guest) and select "advanced...".
    3. There you will see that the Login Shell is set to a particular value (/usr/bin/false from memory). Take note of the value that is there.
    4. Change this value (from the drop down list) to "/bin/bash".
    5. Go to Sharing -> File Sharing -> Options... You will see that your sharing only user is now listed under SMB sharing.
    6. Tick the box for SMB sharing on the sharing only user and enter the password for that user.
    7. Go back to Accounts. Right click on your "sharing only" user and select "advanced..."
    8. Type in the value that you took note of in step 3 at "Login Shell" (and press ok).
    That's it! Now you can connect from Windows using the new sharing only user.
    In effect, this process temporarily enable the "sharing only" user for shell login to your Mac. By doing so, it enables the SMB password to be set. You then disable the shell login capability , and SMB sharing is enabled, whilst shell login is disabled.
    If you ever want to remove SMB access through that user, you will need to repeat the steps again, (although this time you will have to untick the box in step 6.
    Cheers,
    Rodney
    p.s. I have done this, and it works well for me. That said, you should back up your system before mucking around with advanced options. Just to be on the safe side.

  • Why is it that every time I try to connect to the Internet with my Mac the whole Wi-Fi system comes down and it's only when I turn on my Mac

    Every time I try to connect to the Internet my Mac always makes the Wi-Fi turned off and we have lots of iPads and iPhones and they are fine when we try to use them but as soon as I my Mac it doesn't work. When we have a PC try to connect to the Internet nothing happens but when I try to connect to the Internet with my Mac the Internet turns off

  • HT4059 CAN YOU SHARE IBOOK BOOKS WITH OTHER IBOOK USERS?

    Does anyone know if you can share books in ibook with other ibook users?

    No, not unless you give them access to your iTunes Store account (which would probably be a violation of the Store terms of use).
