With the file open in Numbers, you may be able to select a drop down arrow to the right of the title. Select Browse All Versions and you might be able to revert the change. This feature was introduced with Mac OS 10.7. Let us know if you have further questions.

    Hi Ron,
    On the right side of the Toolbar click the Sort and Filter button, then select Sort.
    You can then set up a multiple column sort.

  • Why won't one or more letters/numbers type on my iPod touch?

    Why won't one or more letters/numbers type on my iPod touch?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Likely a bad digitizer.

  • Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)?

    Why won't some of my numbers spreadsheets from my iPad open with iCloud on my Mac (Yosemite)? When I look at the files in FiNader there's a grey bar next to the files that won't open.

    I am having the same problem. Created new spreadsheet on iPad with fresh iOS and Numbers installs (3/2015) and am unable to open this spreadsheet in iCloud in Safari on MacBook Air (all current). I get the following message:
    "Sorry, something went wrong.
    This spreadsheet can't be opened right now. Please try again later."
    Tried reopening on Mac from iCloud and resaving; still cannot open.
    Quick fix: Copying the spreadsheet content from the iPad spreadsheet to one created on the desktop recovers the ability to open it in iCloud in Safari.
    Thanks.

  • I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted

    I have itunes directory on an external hard drive and want to direct a new installation of itunes on windows 8 to use it. I tried holding down ctrl and clicking itunes and after many tries got it to work one time. When I went back in later it had reverted back to a blank version of itunes and I cant get ctrl to work again. Any other ideas?

    This is sometimes caused by a problem with the iTunesPrefs.xml file, normally found at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunesPrefs.xml. Try dragging this to the desktop and trying again.
    Alternatively the problem may be that you have McAfee AV and it is preventing iTunes from updating the same file and thus causing the problem. See Why does iTunes delete my itunesprefs.xml? for details.

    "Ellie,
    The first thing you need to do is to read your file in as a spreadsheet file. Then, you display it in a chart.
    That sounds simple, but looking at your dataset, there's a few things you should know. First, the "read from spreadsheet VI" is looking for data in columns, like your data set, but columns separated by tabs. Therefore, your data must be saved that way; currently, it doesn't seem that it is. Another thing; you must skip the header portion (labels) of your file when reading.
    Next, it would be easier if your time was first, and your data was second in your columns, but that can be overcome. In the VI I am including, I have copied your data set into a file called data.txt, and I've removed the header and separated the columns with a tab. Then, I read in the data, and I break out each column so I can put the time first, and then I combine them again into a cluster so it can be displayed on an XY chart.
    Take a look!

    Here is one way of doing it. Take a look at this example (compatible with LabVIEW 4.1 and up) and post comments if you need further help. Basically, I read your file as text; split it; and make use of the Spread sheet string to Array function before I plot your data. Hope this helps./ Mikael"

    I intend to read from a .txt file that contains a column of numbers. After reading I want to display it as a waveform. In fact the numbers represent points along a waveform/graph of Flow vs. time. Thus I want to have this info in the chart or graph with flow in the y0axis and time in the x-axis. Can someone give me some detailed help please? Thank you in advance.

    All you have to do is use Read From Spreadsheet File.vi that's on the File I/O palette. For your example .txt, set the Transpose input to true and wire the First Row output to a waveform graph. The only problem I see is that since your file doesn't contain any sampling info, the time axis will be relative. If have that information elsewhere, then you can put a build waveform function between the read and the graph. Wire the First Row output to the Y input Build Waveform and add t0 and dt values. I've attached an example.

  • Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
    First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
    Next restart the printer and the Router.
    I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

  • How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells?  In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly.  When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up.  How can I do this?

    How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells?  In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly.  When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up.  How can I do this?
    For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
    If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted...  How can I do this without distorting the formula?

    Thanks for the feedback.
    If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because  a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.

    Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
    Searching infos in the  iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.

    You have not formatted your code properly so we cannot see the query you're executing. Please put some line breaks in.
    Secondly, how fresh are the statistics on those tables? Are you really returning one record out of twenty million?

  • How do I select the end of a row or column in Numbers?

    I am trying to select to the end of a column in Numbers. In Excel, I simply hold down the shift+command+arrow keys and I can select the entire row or column int he arrow direction. How do I do this in Numbers?

    Here two other scripts :
    Select-to-top and select-to-left.
    Both of them take care of possible headers.
    --{code}
    --[SCRIPT select-to-top]
    Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : select-to-top.scpt
    déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
    Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
    Sélectionner une ou plusieurs cellules d'une ligne dans une table de Numbers
    Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “select-to-top”
    Il étendra la sélection jusqu'à la première ligne standard de la colonne (ne sélectionne pas les rangs d’en tête).
    Bien entendu, ce script sera plus intéressant si vous le dotez d'un raccourci clavier à l’aide, par exemple, de FastScripts.
    --=====
    L’aide du Finder explique:
    L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
    Sous 10.6.x,
    aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
    puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
    --=====
    Save the script as a Script: select-to-top.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    Select one or several cells in a row of a Numbers table.
    Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “select-to-top”
    It will expand the selection to the first standard row of the table (minus header rows).
    Of course, it would be more useful if you attach a shortcut thanks to a tool like FastScripts.
    --=====
    The Finder’s Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
    Under 10.6.x,
    go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
    and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

    Bien entendu, ce script sera plus intéressant si vous le dotez d'un raccourci clavier à l’aide, par exemple, de FastScripts.
    --=====
    L’aide du Finder explique:
    L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
    Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
    Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
    Sous 10.6.x,
    aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
    puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
    --=====
    Save the script as a Script: select-to-left.scpt
    Move the newly created file into the folder:
    <startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
    Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
    Select one or several cells in a column of a Numbers table.
    Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “select-to-left”
    It will expand the selection to the first standard colomn of the table (minus fheader columns).
    Of course, it would be more useful if you attach a shortcut thanks to a tool like FastScripts.
    --=====
    The Finder’s Help explains:
    To make the Script menu appear:
    Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
    Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
    Under 10.6.x,
    go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
    and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

  • Slow delete on a table with one CLOB column

    Hi,
    I have a table which has one CLOB column and even if I delete one row from it, it takes approx. 16 seconds. Since UNDO isn't generated for CLOBs (at least not in the UNDO tablespace), I can't figure out why this is so? The CLOB has defined a RETENTION clause, so it depends upon UNDO_RETENTION which is set to 900. There wasn't any lock from another session present on this table.
    The table currently contains only 6 rows but it used to be bigger in the past, so I thought that maybe a full table scan is going on when deleting. But even if I limit the DELETE statement with an ROWID (to avoid a FTS), it doesn't help:

    Elapsed: 00:00:15.64From another session I monitored v$session.event for the session performing the DELETE and the reported wait event was 'db file scattered read'.
    Someone asked Jonathan Lewis a similar looking question (under comment #5) here: http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2007/05/11/lob-sizing/ but unfortunately I couldn't find if he wrote any answer/note about that.
    So if anyone has any suggestion, I'll appreciate it very much.

    After reviewing the tkprof as suggested by user503699, I noticed that the DELETE itself is instantaneous. The problem is another statement:

As soon as I created an index on SCOTT.MESSAGES.PACKET_ID the DELETE executed immediately. The "funny" thing is that, the table SCOTT.MESSAGES is empty, but it has allocated 984MB of extents (since it wasn't truncated), so a time consuming full tablescan was occurring on it.
    Thanks for pointing me to the 10046 trace which solved the problem.

  • Rules under columns of numbers in financials?

    I am laying out columns of numbers in a financial section of a report...the columns are created with tabs. how do I make rules underneath each individual column. Underlining won't do it...I need to be able to control color, offset, etc. When I use paragraph rules, it makes a rule under the whole group of columns, not under each individual column.

    I have done a lot of financial statements. Used to work in-house in an investment company. Tables are not an option unless you're doing something very minor: generally text needs to flow from column to column, and from page to page. It is possible that a single portfolio could run on for 10 pages. The other problem is that a typical layout can have several styles of ruling depending upon which row they're associated with: single rule under the left column; single rule under left two columns; double rule under the middle column; double rule under the right column. This makes regular paragraph ruling useless.
    The best way I've found to handle this is to make your own custom rules with stroke styles (in the flyout of the stroke palette). Essentially, you make dashed rules that correspond to each different situation and apply them as paragraph rules in the appropriate style sheet. The gaps will be the columns without ruling and spaces between columns; the dashes will be the rules under the appropriate columns. Set up both single and double rules this way. (The rule weight of double rules includes both rules: if you want two half-point rules with a half point gap, you use a one-and-a-half point rule. Thick-thick is based on 33.3%,33.3%,33.3%, but the weights and spacing are as customizable as the dashes.)
    With some planning you may be able to cut down on the number of strokes sytles you have to define. Generally the left column is text, the rightmost columns are figures, and only figure columns will ever have rules beneath them. A little tip is to use the paragraph rule indent to set the postion of the first dash. If you have equal columns you may be able to use one custom dash in different situations. For instance, you can use your three dash rule for just the last two columns by increasing the left indent. Increase it more and it's only applied to the last column. These indents can be defined in your paragraph styles.

  • Convert a column in Numbers that is currently in HH:MM format to decimal format.

    I need to Convert a column in Numbers that is currently in HH:MM format to decimal format.  IE 6:30 to 6.5

    Rj,
    There are two possibilities here. Your HH:MM could be a Date/Time value or a Duration.
    Let's assume your data is in Column A.
    If it's a Date/Time value, do the conversion with the expression:
    =TIMEVALUE(A) * 24
    If it's a Duration value, do the conversion with the expression:
    =DUR2HOURS(A)
    In both cases, remember to Format the result to Number with at least one decimal place.
    Regareds,
    Jerry
