Documents in the Cloud - Need an easy answer

I have OS X Mountain Lion on a 27 inch iMac and 13 inch MacBook Pro, iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. I am trying to use iCloud to sync documents such as Pages Keynote and Numbers between them seamlessly. I have documents in the cloud turned on on all of my devices. I can upload documents into the cloud from my Mac computers, and they automatically upload into the cloud on my iOS devices. Any changes I make to the document on my iOS devices (ipad and iphone) automatically appear on my desktop and MacBook almost instantly which is awesome.I just can't get it to work in reverse. What I mean is when I make changes on my imac or MacBook Pro the changes do not appear automatically on the iOS devices. Is there anyway to sync or save the changes made on my Macbook pro or imac directly to my iOS devices without saving the document and re-uploading the document onto iCloud after making changes or editing the document. This only adds another version of the document in the cloud which doesn't seem logical. having more than one copy of the document and iCloud seems ridiculous. I thought this was the reason to buy mountain lion so that all devices would seamlessly work together, and keeps your documents in sync across all devces.
I know someone in this community knows the answer. It's a yes or no answer, as it's either possible or it can't be done. I don't want to hear maybe a future update may fix the problem. Thank you for any advice

Try this...
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Documents & Data then reselect it.
On the iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Documents & Data off then back on.
Give it a minute or two for edits to sync between your Macs and iOS devices.

Pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help

pop up window says need to upgrade to newer version to work on document from the cloud. go to app store and it says already installed...help. Am trying to work on document from office computer at home on laptop.
This is what the pop up says:
You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.
You can download the latest version of Numbers from the Mac App Store.
Thanks,

WS,
At first, it can be difficult to determine which version of Numbers you are using. The user interfaces are different, but if you are new to the apps you may think you are using the new version when if fact you have launched the older version. Make sure you are using Version 3.x. Then you won't get the message that you need a newer version.
Use Spotlight to launch Numbers. After typing Numbers into the search field, pick the result that says "Numbers -- Applications".

Documents in the Cloud a one-way street?

I was really looking forward to the Documents in the Cloud feature so that my Numbers spreadsheets would stay in sync between my Mac, iPad, and iPhone. However, currently any documents I save to iCloud from my Mac never become visible to Numbers running on my iOS devices. However, if I create a new document on iOS, the Mac version eventually sees it and also changes made on the Mac are synced to the iOS versions, albeit with quite a delay. The Mac is running Mountain Lion and all apps are patched to their latest versions. However, my iWork on the Mac is a boxed copy as I bought it before the MAS versions came out.
Does anyone have ideas on how to make this work properly? In the current form it's not quite what the feature description promised.

Actually, I found this:
Documents in the Cloud. And on your Mac or PC.
iCloud makes it easy to move Pages, Keynote, and Numbers documents between your computer and your iOS devices. Just sign in to icloud.com/iwork in any modern web browser, and all your iWork for iOS documents will be there — complete with your most recent edits. Click a document to download it in iWork ’09, Microsoft Office, or PDF format. You can also drag and drop any iWork ’09 or Microsoft Office document from your computer into one of the iWork apps on icloud.com, and it automatically appears on all your iOS devices, ready for you to review, edit, or present.
BUT - it states that the document will be downloaded. I am assuming then, that the document will need to be reuploaded after editing.
Can anyone confirm?

Documents in the Cloud with a PC?

I am thinking of using Pages & Numbers to manage some documents on my devices --> iPhone 4 & iPad2, MBP, but I sometimes want to edit these on my work laptop as well...which is a PC.
If I use documents in the cloud, will I be able to open anything on my PC with the appropriate Office apps?
I currently use Dropbox, which works great, but is limited in my ability to edit anything on my iPad...unless I pay for DropDAV...which I would prefer not to do.
If I instead move my documents to iCloud, I know this will sync things across my apple products, but what about modifying things on my PC??
Has anyone tried this?

Pages deleted a document in the cloud? please help

I was working with a pages document from the cloud this morning and it unexpectedly said "this document cannot be read, it must be closed" and since then I've been unable to open it. I was using pages on my Mac computer, with the occasional edit from my iPad (this wasn't the case when the document closed, however). Now the cloud is showing the document as containing Zero bytes, which is a bummer. Giant Bummer. Is there any way to open a previously edited version? I need help recovering this document from the cloud.

Documents in the Cloud - Syncing from mac to iOS devices

I can upload documents into the cloud on my imac
the documents show up on my ipad
I can edit the documents on my ipad and they automatically appear on my imac
When I edit documents on my imac they do not automatically appear on my ipad
Is there a way to save changes made on my imac in icloud to show up on my iOS devices without uploading the docuemnt?

Syncing of documents should be bidirectional to your iMac. Try some basic OS X troubleshooting:
Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair permissions, verify disk (repair from Utility partition if needed).
Otherwise, wait for 10.8.1....

Trouble loading documents into the cloud

I am trying to store word documents in the cloud and I keep getting error messages. Anyone know what is going wrong or what I need to do to be able to store word documents from my mac on the cloud?

You need the iCloud compatible version of iWork for Mac or iOS before you can upload documents to iCloud.
I just saved a Word .doc directly from Pages on my Mountain Lion Mac to iCloud and it was there at the http://www.icloud.com/ website when I logged in, plus the option to upload other documents through the website.

How do I duplicate a pdf document in the cloud?

How do I duplicate a pdf document in the cloud?

Hi marting82944462,
As mentioned above by Bernd Alheit you will have to download the file on the local disc from the cloud & then upload it again, however you will have to rename the file as the architecture does not support two or more files with a similar name.
In case if you still have any query, please let us know. We will be more than happy to help you.

IWork-documents in the cloud

Anyone else having trouble with iWork-documents in the cloud today? I cannot connect to the thru my iOS-devices, neither upload new from my mac.

I have the same problem:
I can only see "Get iWork for iOS" on my iCloud page. Yes, everything is up to date and Documents & Data is set to on both in the iCloud pane and the iWork apps panes.
Did you solve it?
How?

Documents in the Cloud not working

I'm having issues with the Documents in the cloud feature for a couple of days now, first I thought my restore fixed it but as I was working with some documents in iWork for iOS I ran into the exact same problem again.
All my documents display the arrow going up badge or occasionally a progress bar that doesn't fill, and other apps that support iCloud for storing documents just refuse to let me access them.
I checked the logs for my iOS devices (an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) and they both exhibit a particular line when I try to sync my files with iCloud
librariand[1208] <Error>: client connection is invalid: Connection invalid
I have no clue what's going on, going to icloud.com on my Mac and entering the iWork webapp doesn't show any documents either, even thgough I succesfully synced all of my Pages documents across my iOS devices yesterday and they are still on sync.

I'm having weirdness in Numbers and Pages too. Just upgraded an iPad 4 to 8.1.1, and now neither Numbers or Pages will load the iCloud documents. In fact, when I turn on "Use iCloud" in Settings and go to either of the Apps, nothing changes, but when I go back to Settings the "Use iCloud" has been switched back off. Both Apps load very slowly. When they finally do open and I click the + sign in the upper left of title bar, a blank cartoon-like bubble opens, then the App crashes. Interestingly a new iPhone 6 running the same software works just fine... both Apps load quickly and retrieve the iCloud documents instantly. I haven't got a clue...

After the last update I lost a lot of documents I had edited and saved in my tablet. Any option to recover them? Now I can only access the documents of the cloud.

Documents in the Cloud

I can't access my documents in the cloud on any iOS devices. I can't access iWork for iCloud on the web. Did someone have the same issue??

It is a very common problem happening right now. Unfortunately unless you have a device that is less than 90 days old, you cannot call into support to report it as a problem and then Apple does not know the extent of this issue.
Liked the idea of storing and syncing multiple device to the cloud, but without support, it is losing it appeal.

"Documents in the Cloud" NOT syncing between devices.

I am terribly confused about DOCUMENTS IN THE CLOUD.
My whole understanding was that your documents would SYNC between your devices, iMac/iPhone/iPad.
I have PAGES installed on all my devices. But nothing is syncing. If I make changes to one of the documents it remains on that particular device and does not effect my other devices.
And YES I have iCloud enabled on all my devices.
I THOUGHT that if I edited a document on my iMac it was supposed to send the edit to the cloud where it would then be sent to my other devices, iphone and ipad?
Am I missing something? Did I misunderstand the keynote?

For the avoidance of doubt in addition to settings> iCloud> documents & data being enabled, have you checked that settings> keynote> iCloud is also set to on.

"Documents In The Cloud" lost after restore

Hey,
My Safari was acting up so I decided to restore my Air to a Time Machine copy that was like 2 weeks old. After doing this my Pages documents have been restored to the date the backup was made! This is horrible, I had some important work in there. Guess with all this smart cloud technology it's still important to keep backups :/
Anyway, is there ANY way I can get my Documents In The Cloud items back to what they we like yesterday, before the restore?
Any help is MUCH appreciated.

Documents stored in iWork (e.g. Pages docs) on icloud also have a copy stored locally. When you restored from a TM backup, you got back the old iwork files. Whether viewing the older files has put those copies in icloud, in place of the new ones, I'm not sure. But if you log into icloud.com and go to the iwork page, you'll find those files there. You can then download them to the mac. Whether they will be the recent, new versions or the old versions, I don't know.
