I have 2 computers and want to use iCloud with iWork docs, but my files don't show up. Software is up to date and iCloud turned on, but all I get is the intro screen like "Pages for iCloud" with buttons at the bottom "Get Pages for IOS" and "Learn More". My Contacts and email was working from moment go, but what do I need to do to to use iWork in iCloud?
Info:
MacBook 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.5.8), iMac 24-inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with OS 10.5.8
On my iMac and MacBookPro I cannot save .pages documents to iCloud iWork. They appear on the iWork screen, but I cannot retrieve them.
However, from my iPad it is no problem!. After editing in iPad and save the documents to iCloud back it is possible to download these on my iMac or MacBookPro without problem.
Do you think it's too much work with the conversions and stuff and possible formatting differences or do you think it wouldn't be a big deal? I'm talking about for like high school or college
I'm not sure why, but all my MS Word documents have the generic file icon and nothing that makes me think Pages '08 is going to open that file. This goes the same for .xls documents. Even though both file types are set to open in iWork, they retain the generic blank icon.
Is this normal? Shouldn't they have Pages/Numbers icons respectively, even if they were created in Word?
I have not upgraded my Microsoft Office to operate in OS 10.7.2.Thus to open a word or excel document I must first open Pages or Numbers then find the document and it will open.To move to another document I must start over.How can I set a default that always opens the Word or Excel document directly with Pages or Numbers?
I have iWork 08 and it is HARD to use because of not being able to send my documents or open up others - originally made on a PC. I just got an email about iWork 09 and while looking noticed it says we can now open up windows docs AND save our work as documents!? So does this kill the essentialness of anything windows for students?
Cant access iwork on icloud/ Clicking icon takes me to store to get program which I have done. No luck. Read the document but the computer is not doing what it says it should do. All the other modules work just fine.
I have heard that .mac and mobileme were supposed to be some unworkable system.But so far iCloud seems to be a practical joke, or a way around dropping the service entirely.There appears to be no way to create a document using the applications in iWork, on a Mac, and "share" them using the "Cloud", except for "iWork", which Apple is killing this summer. On an iPad, though, the only documents that can be accessed are copies from iTunes, iDisk (which I think dies this summer too) and webDav? So already, the supposed way of seamlessly syncing my documents depends on separate and apparently conflicting methods. Yet, all of Apple's literature would have me believe that all these apps are compatible, and use, this vaporware called "iCloud".
I would really prefer Apple saying they can't make it work.I can start using Microsoft Office 11 and set up something that approximates a webDav, but then will apple kill that on the iPads? This is starting to look like a worse mess than it was before. If you can edit a photograph, how much harder can it be to edit text?
as you are probably aware iWork is being shut down. But i still don't understand from the email, where to exactly store my documents. As iworks beta is part of icloud system.  where do you then store your documents in the cloud when this service is closed.Â
I have just switched to OS X Lion, in the hope of using iCloud with iWork apps.I have the latest Pages version ('09) and after spending two hours reading forums, I have just understood that:
1/ I cannot save docs to iCloud without buying the iOS app on one of my mobile devices.
2/ I will have to wait for the next Pages release, for iCloud support on OS X.
3/ Using a $2000 Apple laptop only enables to view docs created by iPad or iPhone devices.
I just wanted to save my Pages doc to iCloud, in order to have it ready on my Mac at the office on Monday.I sometimes wonder whether Apple is joking or not.In addition to this, the item "Trying iWork" is grayed, thus no way to try to push that damned doc to iCloud.I cannot believe there is such a poor iCloud support on OS X Lion.
I have just purchased a Macbook. I've been using iWork on my iPad for 5 months, and would like to see my pages, numbers and keynote files on my macbook. I'm wondering how I do this? If I change a documents contents, will it change on the macbook also?Â
How do I transfer iWork's files to icloud when iworks ends. I keep getting emails telling me to save documents. When I click on icloud from my browser, the files are still in iworks.
what to do to be able to still use Pages and Keynote on imac to save my work. I apparently cannot upgrade to Lion... So now what? Has anyone tried to add another 1 G ram to the machine and apply the Lion Upgrade ? Surely there is a way to manually save? work on i work
The iWork Public Beta allowed me to share Keynote presentations with anyone via the web. Now Apple tells me the Public Beta is being replaced by iCloud. How can I share a Keynote presentation online via iCloud? Must the presentation be downloaded to view?
I just purchased a new iPad and discovered that I needed to upgrade my Pages & Numbers to the '09 version to be compatible with the &pages & Numbers on the iPad. I did this and now when I attempt to save a document it asks if I want to save a Version but it doesn't give me an opportunity to save it to My iCloud Documents. My iMac shows several documents in the My iCloud Documents file butbmy iPad doesn't show these files. My iPad does see a couple of files from Numbers but when I try to open them I get a message sayingb that It can't open files that are not saved in Numbers '09 even though I thought they were converted to Numbers '09. I even created a new document in Numbers '09 but it doesn't show up in iCloud and I can't access it on my MacBook Pro or the iPad, obly on the iMac where it was created. My guess is the problem is somewhere in the coinversion to Pages & Numbers '09 from the '08 version but what is beyond me.  Should I completely remove the old Apps for Pages & Numbers? I have all of the settings, as specified, on all three devices and, interestingly, my calendar and contacts have synced on the iPad and both computers.
I must be really slow because I have no idea how to see documents from one computer to another or my devices using icloud. I have Lion and Pages on my home computer and my laptop. I have an iCloud account. So how do I get the pages documents that I create on my imac to sync to the cloud so that I can view and edit them on my laptop and ipad. And visa versa. I have the icloud documents option "on" from my preference menu on all devices. What else do I need to do. And where is the tutoria
How do I get my documents and data off of the iCloud? I lost my entire hard-rive, and I'm trying to get at least some of my papers and presentations back again...
