Why does the sum function not work when I try to add a column of decimal numbers? The value is always returned as 0. No problem with whole numbers but decimals do not work!

just bought a MacBook Air and using Numbers to make a spreadsheet for financial purposes. The sum function is working ok for whole numbers but when I try to sum a column of 2 decimal place numbers the result always comes back as 0. Can anyone help?

Hi laura,
I suspect that your 2 decimal place numbers are formatted as text. Change the format of the column to currency and see it that works.
Also You might want to update your profile to reflect your current systems!

Why does it say "unsupported language/platform" when I try to download Adobe Standard? I have the latest updates of IE and Google Chrome and have tried both.

Why does it say "unsupported language/platform" when I try to download Acrobat Standard? I have the latest updates of IE and Google Chrome and have tired both.

The message doesn't mention IE or Chrome - it mentions language/platform.
So...what is the language of your system?
And what is your platform - by which we mean for example Windows Vista or Mac OS Lion.

Hi I'm a total novice, as you will see. But Iam trying to use template of an employee schedule but when I try to add extra columns it does not add the preset formula with it, so it works out total hours and total pay?   If any one can help please.

Hi Grum,
If the formulas aren't filling to the new column, you must have changed something in the template since you first opened it. Numbers is rather fussy about filling row content in columns as they are added. Only rows with the same expression in every Body Column will fill when a column is added. Just as an experiment, start a new Employee Schedule document from the Template Chooser and then add a column by clicking the Add Column handle in the upper right corner of the table. If that works, as it should, then think about what might have changed in your working document to disconnect that feature. Maybe we can figure it out together.

If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my orders from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.

Last summer I bought a music album from iTunes. I've already transferred all my purchases from my units, but somehow iTunes wants me to pay for the same album again. When I try to add it to my wish list it simply tells me that I've already bought that item.
And I've already tried to search for downloadable purchases.
So fact is established, I've purchased this album before but iTunes does not recognize it.
What to do?

Hey sorry for the late response but I've been out of town. I can copy and paste the email responses if necessary or desired, and if it's fixed already this is a moot point anyway, but basically they kept asking me for the order numbers for the two songs I already bought from the specific album I was trying to complete, which I eventually gave them - along with telling them multiple times that the Complete My Album feature wasn't working for ANY album. They gave me two free song codes to compensate me for the two songs I bought, and then told me to go and buy the album at full price, but the ENTIRE TIME they COMPLETELY ignored that I was telling them that this wasn't an issue with one album but was a larger, seemingly systematic issue that other people were experiencing. Even after I got the song codes I emailed them back and said AGAIN that this wasn't an isolated feature, and they just sent me the link to the apple Feedback page (http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html) and told me to submit my complaint there. So, technically, my issue was never really "resolved," in that they never fixed the Complete My Album feature that I am aware of - or even acknowledged that anything needed fixing, but I haven't tested it since Sunday.
If it's working for you, then hopefully they fixed it! I've noticed they've updated to 10.4.1, but the notes don't indicate they're fixing anything about the Complete My Album feature, so I don't know.
