Will iWork apps ever be updated for Apple's 'Open In...' API?

I use Apple's 'Open In...' feature from DropBox to send documents to Pages/Numbers. Then, Apple doesn't support their own 'Open In...' API feature to send back to DropBox, Adobe or other.
Feedback submitted at apple.com/feedback but still =(
So I email edited documents to myself, and then from Mail.app open back into DropBox. So unnecessary.
Really? Or am I missing something.

1) I don't use drop box, does it actually open numbers files? Or just store them? If its storing them, then open in would not make sense.
2) You would have to make a good business case for apple to want to open their proprietary iWork formats in other competitors applications for editing. They want you to use their app to do it.

Will iWork / Numbers ever get updated to '12 or '13?

We're still on Numbers '09 and Apple just had another event which did not announce anything for iWork!
Numbers has been updated for iCloud and Retina, but the core functionality has not been touched in year.
The UI needs a total overall. The number of keystrokes required to basic things (e.g., add a border) compared to Excel is horrible. The UI constantly wants to change row size when I'm trying to select a cell. Formula entry with the cursor is very challenging. There is no way to get stock quotes directly into Numbers. The list goes on and on.
Excel for Windows is still so far superior so I have to keep running parallels. This is 2012, time for Apple to produce a decent spreadshet!

Hi Boat Guy,
As Peggy mentioned while I was re-reading teh terms of use, Apple does not actively monitor these forums, and Apple employees generally do not post here. Monitoring that is done is almost entirely concerned with compliance with the terms of use.
You might want to take a look at these again, with particular attention to section 2, regarding submissions. There's a link at the bottom of most (all?) windows, or you could simply click this one: Apple Support Communities Terms of Use

My ipod touch will no longer download new apps after i updated via apple store.How can i get the updates deleted or correct the problem moving forward?

My ipod touch will no longer download new apps after I updated via apple store.It freezes now when I attempt to download and blanks the app off entirely . How can I reverse the updates or correct the problem moving forward?

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try those

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status. I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps. I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together. Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail. Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Is there a way to remove installed updates from the App Store update window? I keep getting an alert that I have an update for Apple Remote Desktop. It says its installed, but the alert and the app keep showing up. Annoying!!

No, sorry. It's Only for the 5 gen. But you can always trade in your old iPod Touch into apple and use that money towards the new iPod Touch

Apple Introduces New Apple TV Software & Lowers Price to $229
Rent High Definition Movies Directly from Your Widescreen TV
MACWORLD SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Apple(R) today unveiled all new software for Apple TV(R) that allows movie fans to rent movies on the iTunes(R) Store directly from their widescreen TV, and lowered the price of Apple TV to just $229. With iTunes Movie Rentals and Apple TV, users can just click a button on their remote to effortlessly rent movies from a catalog of over 1,000 titles by the end of February, including over 100 titles in stunning high definition video with 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, with no computer required. DVD-quality iTunes Movie Rentals are $2.99 for library titles and $3.99 for new releases, and high definition versions are just one dollar more with library titles at $3.99 and new releases at $4.99. Apple will provide the new Apple TV software free of charge to existing Apple TV owners when it releases the new Apple TV priced at $229 in about two weeks.
"With the new Apple TV and iTunes Movie Rentals, movie lovers can rent DVD-quality or stunning HD movies from their couch with just a click of a button," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "No more driving to the video store or waiting for DVDs to arrive in the mail."
iTunes Movie Rentals feature iTunes' legendary ease of use, which makes discovering and enjoying movie rentals as simple and easy as buying music on iTunes. Once a movie is rented, it starts downloading from the iTunes Store directly to Apple TV, and users with a fast Internet connection can start viewing the movie in seconds. Customers have up to 30 days to start watching it, and once a movie has been started customers have 24 hours to finish it -- or watch it multiple times.
With Apple TV, users can also view photos from their computers, Flickr and .Mac Web Galleries on their widescreen TV as slideshows or screen savers, and anytime photos are updated on Flickr or .Mac, they are automatically updated on Apple TV. Apple TV users can now browse and enjoy the iTunes Store podcast directory of over 125,000 video and audio podcasts, view over 50 million originally created videos from YouTube or choose from a selection of six million songs, over 600 TV shows and 10,000 music videos to purchase directly from their Apple TV. Purchases downloaded to Apple TV are automatically synced back to iTunes on the user's computer for enjoyment on their computer, all current generation iPods* or iPhone(TM).
Apple TV easily connects to a broad range of widescreen TVs and home theater systems and comes standard with HDMI, component video, analog and optical audio ports. Using high-speed AirPort(R) 802.11 wireless networking, Apple TV now automatically plays all of your iTunes content without setup or management**.
Pricing & Availability
The new Apple TV software will be available as a free automatic download to all Apple TV customers later this month. Apple TV, which includes the Apple Remote, is available from the Apple Store(R) (http://www.apple.com), Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers for a suggested retail price of $229 (US) for the 40GB model and $329 (US) for the 160GB model (US and Canada). Apple TV requires an 802.11g/n wireless network or 10/100 Base-T Ethernet networking, a broadband Internet connection and a high definition widescreen TV. iPod(R) games will not play on Apple TV. iTunes Movie Rentals are available in the US only.
*Movie rentals work on iPod classic, iPod nano with video and iPod touch.
**Compatible with 802.11b/g/n. Based on an IEEE 802.11n draft
specification. Wireless video streaming requires an 802.11g/n network.

Yup, updated my Apple TV and got sky news and a couple of other new apps I will never use. I am growing increasingly fed up with looking at all the good stuff there is on offer in America and nothing in the UK..... I know I shouldn't look :)
And it's not just Apple I suppose, checking out the apple and Microsoft US movie stores and they have a much better selection. Wish we all had the willpower to stop giving these companies money until they fulfil customer needs...
Ok rant over, I've been building up to that since I found all the films I love on the US site and can't get them here :(

Iwork apps do not update after Yosemite

I have a 13 inch 2013 MacBook Air. I got iWork bundled in with the device at purchase. I recently updated to OS X Yosemite and somehow the iWork apps fail to update through the app store. Updating all the other apps works (Xcode, iMovie etc).
While trying to update the iWork apps, it shows waiting for a long time and then exits saying 'An error has occured'.
Any suggestions?

Will there be an ios update for ipod 2 gen ?

will there be an ios update for ipod 2 gen ?

I doubt it since it has been over a year since Apple released an update for the 2G iPod. A 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1
A 1G to iOS 3.1.3.

Hello Ken C.,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Apple Mobile Device Service is included in the installation of iTunes. As long as you have the most up to date version of iTunes on your computer, you will have the most up to date driver. Are you having any issues with iTunes and syncing your devices?

Is there a software update for Apple's Lion OS and my Officejet 6500A Plus?

Has HP released a software update for Apple's new Lion OS (10.7.2)? My HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus can't find my computer most of the time. scan to computer no longer works since I installed Lion. Now the printer is not recognizing an HP-brand yellow ink cartridge--I've installed TWO new ones already! What a waste. HELP!
Thanks,

Had a text from Nokia on my 3 N8 today saying keep your N8 up to date.
Couldn't find an update through 3, but went to the UK Nokia website and managed to update from software version 011.012 to 013.016 which takes the release from PR1.0 to PR1.1
Update went very smoothly.
Still trying to track down specific details of the fixes and improvements in this update.
However, I have read that in April 2011 there will be a Release PR2.0
I am particularly interested in this as I understand that it will allow user-defined bookmarks to be added to the Home Screen with their particular "icon" rather than the generic icon, so that you can see in a sort of (dare I say it here?) iPhone way which webpage you are going to access...
We'll see.

When it will be the camera raw update for the nikon d750 in Lightroom 4?

Never. You'll need to upgrade to Lr 5.7, or convert your D750 files to DNG for Lr 4 to use.
As a site search would amply have indicated.

Yes, I had the same problem and resolved by the method suggested by Toccolo...... thanks.

Does this mean that ios 6.0.1 will be the last ios update for ipad 2 and iphone 4s?

With the release of ios 6.0.2, which is only available for the iphone 5 (and ipad mini) does this mean that ios 6.0.1 will be the last software update for the 4s?

As that was only a bugfix update specific to those devices, no.

Software Updates for Apple TV (tried everything in community)

Software updates for Apple TV using HDMI. My MacBook Pro 2013 does not recognize the Apple TV as a device. I've tried plugging in HDMI first then AC; AC then HDMI; re-start, etc. The Apple TV doesn't update through TV and ethernet cable. Apple TV is 2012 but I can't see it anywhere in order to see for sure.

If you have an AppleTV 2 it does not need a power lead at all when connected over USB.
Ceryain USB to microUSB leads are power only not data, so it could bethe lead.
Also if having issues remove all non-essential USB peripherals/hubs.
