Michael Baggett 2009-10-17T15:23:10Z 2010-03-08T11:24:45Z <p>A little self-serving, but I'm curious if I am missing other sites on the interwebs.</p> <p>Given that Apple ships a limited number of templates with Numbers, what are you favorite sites for finding new templates?</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/74/saved-file-location Saved File Location Bob Saniszlo 2009-12-12T05:20:57Z 2010-03-08T08:25:35Z <p>Hi there folks.

Sometimes just after starting the machine and other times after using it for hours (or less... or more), there will be no response at all from keyboard or trackpad. If I plug in a mouse, that works, but the keyboard is still "dead" (as is the trackpad), so eventually I have to restart. </p> <p>The power button works.</p> <p>I have rebuilt permissions often on the early advice of someone who knows a lot about these things, but this doesn't appear to have any positive result because it has happened a few times right after rebuilding permissions (but not always after that). I don't think it has anything to do with a particular program running or something I've installed because it has happened a number of times just after starting the machine without running any programs other than those that run in the background at startup and, since it happened early in the life of the machine (before I really installed anything), it wouldn't make a lot of sense that a program I have installed is causing the issue.</p> <p>Has anyone ever seen anything like this before or have any idea what might be causing the machine to sporadically put the keyboard and trackpad to sleep like this? If you need further details, please ask!</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>Shawn</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/71/using-hoursminutes-in-numbers Using hours:minutes in Numbers Caryn 2009-12-07T15:25:44Z 2010-03-07T00:24:43Z <p>I need to create a timesheet that will display my time worked in 00:00 format.

I have manually identified a couple dozen faces in a large number of photos. However, iPhoto has only tentatively identified 3 or 4 photos.</p> <p>If I select "Faces" in the sidebar and then double-click on a set of pictures from the corkboard -- for example, my wife -- iPhoto will put, at the top of the window, all of the pictures that I have manually identified. Below those, there is a horizontal divider with a down-pointing triangle, the text <i>wifesname may also be in the photos below</i>, followed by a blue circle in which there are two arrows "chasing each other" as if iPhoto is searching through its photo database for additional pictures that have my wife. However, it seems that no matter how long I leave iPhoto processing, it never finds additional pictures and the two arrows continue to endlessly chase each other.</p> <p>I wonder if I've done something wrong or if there's a bug or if my photos are of such a low quality that iPhoto just cannot recognize faces.</p> <p>Do I need to either erase a Preference file(s) and start over or even uninstall and reinstall iPhoto?</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/41/iwork-numbers-borders iWork Numbers Borders Jim 2009-10-21T15:05:30Z 2010-02-26T01:24:32Z <p>I cannot make the borders in a Numbers table stay in the table nor print?</p> <p>Frustrated,</p> <p>Jim.....</p> <p>Thanks Michael for the vidio.</p> <p>I neglected to tell you that I did select the entire table, then apply the "Inside Borders" selection and the borders appeared. I also selected "Apply Border Selection" from the "Borders" menu. Then if I click anywhere within the table or outside of the table the borders disappear. Also after applying the borders and then going to print the borders do not print. I even went so far to reload the Numbers application from disc.</p> <p>Thanks again for the updated video. I noticed the step that I was not doing - after selecting the border type, select the line type. That did the trick.</p> <p>Thanks again,</p> <p>Jim......</p> <p>Jim.....</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/106/if-then-formula IF THEN FORMULA Dean 2010-02-19T15:08:20Z 2010-02-19T15:08:20Z <p>I am trying to do a formula in Numbers 08 that will return a value based on a letter.

I'm thinking that a pencil and calculator is so 1980. Maybe Numbers can be used?</p> <p>I made a very simple template and listed the expense categories going down the left and have each row showing a total on the far right. Then all of the totals are added up to a grand total on the bottom. If I do it right, I enter each charge manually in the correct category and Numbers does the math for me.</p> <p>But I have a hunch that I'm not doing it the best way. This is my first time really using Numbers or any spreadsheet. I'm afraid that printing this out can be a real pain. For example if I enter each auto fuel charge for the month the spreadsheet will have to get very wide. Printing will be a challenge.</p> <p>Does anyone have suggestions? Has anyone made a template to consolidate their credit card charges by category? This has to be a common task that someone has figured out. I hate reading manuals...</p> <p>Thanks.</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/101/sort-street-numbers-and-names sort street numbers and names David Zuk 2010-01-23T16:02:48Z 2010-01-23T16:02:48Z <p>Is there a way to sort a column of street numbers/names alphabetically AND then numerically? I have a spreadsheet of businesses that I need to sort addresses so I can easily go to each one in order instead of trying to jump all over the sheet to find the ones in the same area. When I download the list it has the street numbers and the names in the same column.</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/100/how-do-i-change-a-field-in-numbers How do I change a field in Numbers?

This is great to add uniform set of colors to a chart, BUT there's only a handful of possible color combinations. Is there any way to add more color combinations or hack the ones that are in there to 'improve' them?</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/8/os-x-terminal-tips OS X Terminal Tips Michael Baggett 2009-10-13T23:51:16Z 2010-01-08T21:49:12Z <p>What are some of your favorite tips/hacks for the Terminal in OS X?</p> http://appleinquiry.com/questions/39/how-do-i-resize-a-bootcamp-partition How do I resize a bootcamp partition?
