    iWork files won't open on iOS, but no problem on OS-X

    When I copy an iWork file (Pages or Numbers) from iCloud to a network share, I often can't open that file anymore in Numbers or Pages. On my iMac however I can open these files without any problem. I am already wrestling with this problem for a long time, but couldn't find a solution. I tried...

    Should I Update?

    I have a MacBook Air running El Capitan, which is what it came with. I know that there is now Sierra. I decided, based on no real knowledge, that I should stick with El Capitan because that is what the machine came with. And I am additionally reluctant to switch since I bought a copy of El...

    They Finally Nerfed Numbers

    ...the search for a new Spreadsheet Program begins? They, APPLE, nerfed Pages a couple of years ago. Honestly, I'm amazed Numbers lasted this long. I was pissed when I just opened a Numbers spreadsheet and all the nice orderlyness of a Numbers document just went poof with a recent update. After...

    Numbers (iWorks)

    I'm trying to use Numbers to maybe replace some of my Excel tasks. But wow, what kind of an embarrassment is Numbers? I have a rmbp 11,2 and my work with Excel goes moderately fast. Excel for mac 2016 is still 32bit which is slowing it down, but still manageable. I just imported 31000 lines...

    What is the CAUSE of the endless Updating (but not) Numbers spreadsheets over iCloud?

    You know what I'm talking about. You have a spreadsheet on both your iPhone and your iPad, and you blithely update on either device and watch it instantly update to the other device. 99% of the time. Oh but that 1% drives you crazy. The other device senses the change, starts to update the...
