XLSM files and Numbers '09
Ooooh... I hope you can help me.
I have to work on an XLSM file from MS Office 2010. It clearly states on the Numbers '09 description that it will open Excel files. So I bought Numbers '09 without hesitation. However, now that I open my file in Numbers a large number of errors come up making the project totally unusable. All the formulas and visuals have gone somewhere and nothing works.
What am I doing wrong? I have tried to search for updates but my version is the newest.
Any help is welcome.
Thank you,
Mr. Max

iWork '09 specs were delivered in january 2009, long before the delivery of Office 2010.
So it's really not surprising that Numbers '09 which was just updated on small details can't open new Excel file format.

FM12: Crashes when opening files and numbering pages
My FM12 is running on a VM with Windows 7 and 6Gb of Memory - it's a pretty large book, 750+ pages. When I get more than 700 files open, it crashes. Then it will crash while numbering.
What should be a straight forward publishing of the book is taking two days due to crashes. I have to save the files after I open a batch and apply numbering or I lose the entire book.
Also, when I select a few files in a folder, FM opens the entire folder of files which is really weird.
It's version 12.0.2.89Reboot solves it. Duh.

Read .txt file of numbers and draw
Hello.
I am trying to utlize BufferedReader and g.drawline to read numbers from a text file and output to the screen as a "line".
I know I still need a while loop and some error checking, but, am having trouble finishing the more 'basic' portion of the code.
The GUI class is already taken care of. I am just trying to open the file, read, turn to int, produce lines, then close file.
I have commented out some of the code that was provided with the assignment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
* DrawingPanel creates a panel used for drawing

* Numbers stored in text file, usa.txt.

/** Graphics object used for drawing on the panel */
private Graphics g;
/** Tells if it is time to draw */
private boolean timeToDrawPath;
/** The filename of the hurricane path */
//private String pathFile;
private String usa.txt;

//Open the file
String inFile = ("usa.txt");
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader (inFile);
//BufferedReader bufReader = newBufferedReader (fileReader);
BufferedReader bufReader=newBufferedReader (new fileReader ("usa.txt"));
//Insert beginning of while loop here????
//read data from the file
String str=bufReader.readLine();
g.drawLine(x1,y1,x2,y2);
}Yep, you are right in deciding the positioning of the while loop.
But the folly you are committing is while creating object of BufferedReader ... It is to be created by passing to the constructor, the reference of the FileReader object you have created.
so the line of code shud look like ...
BufferedReader bufReader = new BufferedReader(FileReaderObject);
And then you can go ahead with readLine() as per your requirement in the while loop. -
When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
There is something to be said for clarity.
You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
That is all.When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
File > Duplicate
File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
I posted several times a script editing this resource.
This morning I'm not in a mood allowing me to do your duty.

How can I lock Pages and Numbers files on my desktop?
I have a Numbers spreadsheet and some documents in Pages that I'd like to 'lock' or password protect. The old Appleworks program used to allow me to 'lock' files. Is there a way to do this using Lion or is there a simple app I can use?
There is a way to do that in both Pages and Numbers in Snow Leopard; I don;t have Lion available to see if that was carried forward to it.
In SL, with the document open click the Inspector button in the toolbar for the document. In the Inspector window, click the leftmost icon in its toolbar ("document inspector" in the popup tooltip), If a Pages document, also then click the Document button below that icon.
Then, at the bottom of the window look for an item "Require password to open" - checkmark that, and you'll be prompted to set a password. -
Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions. -
My storage was getting low on my iCloud, so I decided to delete my files from numbers and pages on my iPhone and delete the apps on my phone because i did not really use it on my phone. When I got to work and clicked on pages and numbers on my iPad the files were gone. I assume the files were deleted through iCloud. I did not want the files deleted on the iPad and would like to know how to get them back?
If you also backed up to your computer - you can restore from that backup - to retrieve the files. As far as I know- that should have no bearing on deleting them from iCloud - they should still be in that backup.
If you used iOS file sharing with your computer - and saved the files to your computer - you can retrieve them from there.
if the only place that the files were saved to was iCloud, I know of no way to get them back. -
Pages and numbers files won't open in ANY version
Apple, what have you done? I made the sad mistake of upgrading to the newest versions of Pages, Numbers and Keynote on the one Mac in our personal and work ecosystem that can run Mavericks. Not only can I not open any existing files in the '09 version of these products once I open them and save in the newest version. Now, I cannot open ANY of these documents in ANY version of these applications. Pleas tell me how to fix this. We have important work and personal files now that we are unable to open at all.
Very disappointed, Apple. These are the sorts of user-experience and quality issues that motivated me to abondon Microsoft...Well the problem "fixed itself". I logged out, logged in to an other user, opened and saved a few pages files and it worked fine. I logged back out, and back in to the user with the Pages problems, and voila! It works fine - no problems. THis software is far to flaky for me. Unfortunately, my colleague in the last two weeks since upgrading has updraded nearly ALL of our current working Pages files. We now have the very unhappy and uprofitable task of exporting and reverting ALL of those documents so we can revert to Pages 09 - a program that actually iWorks.
Apple, this is really buggy software and it's getting deep-sixed. You've really messed up with this latest set of OS and software "upgrades". -

Mike,
Any document left open when you Quit the application reopens when you restart the application. Rather like the jacket that I neglected to hang up when I came home last night. It's still lying on the chair by the door.

Can I view, edit and save microsoft documents such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint using iWork applications such as Pages, Keynote and Numbers on my iPad Mini (16GB Wi-Fi)? If Yes, then can I directly load these files to my iPad mini using iTunes? Also, once I finish working on these documents, can I download these back to my Computer.
Sorry, forgot to say:
Thank you so much to EVERYBODY/ANYBODY who may reply with helpful information,

IWork export to Office error "The file format is invalid" in pages, keynote and numbers.
I am running iWork 09 (latest versions in all cases)*. When I try to export files from all three of the applications Pages, Keynote and Numbers into the relevant Office formats, I get the error "The file format is invalid." It works fine with PDF or RTF export.
I am able to open the same files in the iPad versions of thess iWork apps, and then export them. While this workaround will do for now, I'd like to be able to just export correctly.
Anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Iarla

* Note that I needed to manually remove iWorks as the For_iWork:iWork '09:iWork9Update5.dmg.zip file wouldn't work on the latest version of iWorks. This involved deleting the iWork folders in the Applications and Library directories. -
How do I convert my Adobe PDF files to Numbers and Pages
I use Adobe and i am having issues converting their PDF files to Numbers and or Pages.......
If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, it can export to Word .doc and from that you can open the file in Pages.
Otherwise open the pdf in Preview app and manually select and copy the text over to Pages.

CAN AN EXCEL XLSM FILE READ FROM A CSV AND WRITE BACK TO THE SAME XLSM -VBA
Hey Carlos- Here's the repost.
Could an XLSM file read a line from a CSV file in "A1" and depending on what was in the first column in the XLSM, search the CSV file and find the indexed item in the second column or third? I've done it before with standard VLookup functions and it was cumbersome and very slow, and for some reason, everytime I would save the file it would take forever although the xls file was a single sheet.
i've attacthed a sketch of what I'm talking about, because it's hard to explain and I think the sketch explains it better. Here it is, sorry if it is blurry, it looked fine before I posted:ok, use this version, I changed it a bit. To accommodate the issue with the single cell, I moved the main procedures to a function for a more efficient use.
Sub xlsmCsvLookup()
'have both your xlsm and your csv files open
'in the xlsm file, select a range of cells to look up
'run the script to search all selected cells and get the values from the csv file
Dim csvDataRange As Range 'csv file data column
Dim selRange As Range 'to hold selected cells
Dim foundRange As Range
'get the source range
Set csvDataRange = Workbooks("Book2.csv").Sheets(1).Range("a:a") ' replace "Book2" with yourCSVfile.csv
'check for selection, only one cell, ceck that cell and exit, otherwise loop thru selection
If Selection.Count > 1 Then
'loop thru all selected cells, ignore empty cells
For Each selRange In Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants)
findSelection selRange, csvDataRange
Next
Else
findSelection ActiveCell, csvDataRange
End If
Set foundRange = Nothing
Set selRange = Nothing
Set csvDataRange = Nothing
End Sub
Function findSelection(selRange, csvDataRange)
'try to find it in the csv file
Set foundRange = csvDataRange.Find(selRange) 'if found, assign it to foundRange
'if no match highligh cut
If foundRange Is Nothing Then
selRange.Interior.ColorIndex = 34
Else
'if found, get the value in next cell
selRange.Offset(0, 1) = foundRange.Offset(0, 1)
End If
