Documents in the cloud, search all

Can anybody (Developers) who has had experience with the beta of documents in the cloud (Mountain Lion) tell me if you can search all files without opening each seperate application within Moutain Lion? Say you couldn't remember what application you wrote some notes in.

Nobody here will have any information about that here since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.

(Documents in the Cloud) Not all the docs to all the devices

I guess the answer is no, but I would like to ask anyway...
Is there any way to stop the automatically download of certain synced documents in one of my devices?
i have some documents in the cloud and I want all of them in one device but I don't want all of them in another. But if I delete one document this is deleted in icloud and in all the devices.
It will be valid too to be able to hide documents or be able to save some in iCloud and some on the devices itself (don't sync at all), same way I can configure a calendar in iCloud and others on the ipad.
Thanks

It depends on which app you're using. Some apps let you save a local file to iCloud and at the other end (on another device), you have the choice to download it or not. Other apps save all files to iCloud and sync them all to other devices.

Searching all documents in the cloud with Mountain Lion

Does anybody know if you can search all your documents in the cloud, without opening each seperate application within Moutain Lion? Say you couldn't remember what application you wrote some notes in.

ML is not officially released. No one who can answer your question is allowed to speak in this forum. There is a developer's forum (admission costs $99 per year to register as a developer) that can answer.

How do i get my team to all see the same say, ID, document using the cloud?

how do i get my team to all see the same say, ID, document using the cloud?

Adobe Max was a smoke and mirror show and they demonstrated "Folder Sharing" so we bought into it. Myself and 7 of my clients. After the Max show they turned it off like nobody would notice. Two weeks after they stopped the folder sharing feature they put a little notice that they had did this. Nice how they treat their loyal customers. Every month they charged us an extra $20 over a single account without the folder sharing. What good is "team work" if you can't share a folder of files. Sharing a single file at a time is a waste of time.
After a year still no folder sharing but the same old story of "soon". Adobe is using the extra money they are "stealing" from paying clients to pay for this development. We are being forced to pay the extra money again for another year as there is no way to downgrade to a single user account. Adobe likes to use this as an excuse to continue to rob and steal from loyal user that have no choice but to deal with these crooks.
My only suggestion is for new users not to buy the team account package. There marketing material is filled with misleading statements that gives the potential new customer the impression that they can work in teams, as if a team can work sharing single files. This is a sign that Adobe is about the cash grab and not about the quality of software and the end user experience.

"Documents in the Cloud" vs iCloud---lost docs

I put in a new SSD and upgraded my MBP to Yosemite. All good---except some docs I had written using Text Editor are now somehow just gone. Evidently these were saved to Documents in the Cloud, which is now just gone...??
What has Apple done with my docs that were saved in Mountain Lion to (what it called anyway) the Cloud?
In Snow Leopard, my last OS, my Text Edit offered an option to save and open docs either to/from On This Mac, or onto Cloud. Some I had saved to Cloud, they are now in some unknown domain of cyberspace, or annihilated.
Apple says iCloud Drive now doesn't offer saving of text docs written in Text Edit. The Text Edit app used to offer saving/opening docs from what it called "Cloud"---evidently that was Apple's Documents in the Cloud, which is now deprecated---?
Apple told me that "the docs might be saved in Pages format" on iCloud Drive, but I thought I would inquire here if anyone had any experience with this, it looks like once you upgrade to iCloud Drive there's no going back, so I'm afraid to upgrade and then find the docs still aren't there and have been annihilated.
How to find my previous Documents in the Cloud folder, now that I'm on Yosemite with a new hard drive? I tried searching the old hard drive for .txt docs, it doesn't seem to see them. I have not searched Time Machine, but if I can't find the .txt files on the old hard drive, how would I find them in Time Machine?
I was a fool not to save the Documents in the Cloud docs separately---hoping someone can help me figure out if they still exist.

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.

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 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...

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" 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.

"Documents in the Cloud" and Mountain Lion workflow??

I haven't yet upgraded to Moutain Lion but before I do I'm wondering if anyone can help answer a workflow question related to Documets in the Cloud and how it runs on Mountain Lion: Has Apple solve/simplified/streamlined the use of Documents in the Cloud beyond what is a significant hassle in Lion?
To better undertsand the context of my question, it may help to explain how it's working for me with Lion. I currently have all of the '09 version of the iWork Suite of apps (Pages, Numbes, Keynote), as well as the iOS versions of each. Although Lion has iCloud connectivity, there doesn't appear to be any ability for Page (or the other apps) to share/save/open documents directly to and from iCloud itself. Beyond the fact that there is no readably folder structure to iCloud, the current situation recquires me to manually drag/drop a file from my local HDD to the iWork interface on iCloud.com. Only then can I see and open the document on my iPad, iPhone, etc. Then, in order to back to my desktop, I have to manually download the file from the iCloud.com interface and reopen it locally. This means that unless I've taken the extra step of modifying the filename at some point in the process I now have two documents on my local drive with the exact same filename.
So, again, my question is: has Mountain Lion simplified/solved/steamlined the currently ridiculous process, or whill I still have to instead opt for Dropbox, Google Drive, or Box, all of which have user navigable directory structures and avoid the duplicate file issues?

Yes, it is simpler to work with iCloud files in Mountain Lion, assuming you have the latest version of each of the iWork '09 applications. You can open documents directly from iCloud in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, and you can choose whether a new document is saved into iCloud or on the normal Finder file system.

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.

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?

Documents in the cloud seems to be dead after update

After the latest update (Mac and iOS) iCloud Documents is no longer working. icloud with calender and contacts is working but not documents in the cloud.
I use iwork on all my devices (iPad/iPhone/Mac) and it worked well in the last year. Now all functions are dead.
No up/download from/to Mac. Tried log out/log on to iCloud no change. Tried to connect via browser, but after selecting Pages or any other iWork app i'm always asked to give in my apple ID again. (This was working for weeks without any problem)
Any idea?

iCloud IS a disappointment. I am more than frustrated by the iCloud document service and sync. I teach and use a Numbers spreadsheet to keep track of my projects, grading and classroom attendance. I used to carry around a flash drive or use my wifi to exchange the latest updates to and from my laptop and desktop. When iCloud began I was excited about the possibility of accessing one file from two devices. But I am getting only upload failures and errors every time I try to access the shared document. It appears that the file is saved from the laptop and is accessible there. But if I go onto the iCloud web site or try to open the document from another computer, the document isn't there or, more than likely, the saved document was uploaded incompletely. So now I have a local backup on my laptop, another on my desktop, one incomplete document on the cloud and the original saved on the cloud on my laptop. The whole system is unreliable.
My fear is that since Mtn Lion saves 'local' documents to the cloud (unless you manually change the save to the hard drive), any document left up there will not be accessible by a new replacement machine or even a correctly inputted id and pw.
I'm going back to local save, copy and replace method of keeping one file up-to-date on multiple computers and talk to the iCloud geniuses to find out what's going on. I'll report back.

Documents in the Cloud isn't downloading and uploading files

Hello!
I'm with a very annoying bug on my iCloud, actually, in Documents in the Cloud.
The problem is so strange that's very hard to explain that in words. But let's give it a try: iCloud isn't uploading my files to the cloud at all. I already did everything like: enable/disable iCloud, delete my iWork apps and install it all again, delete all my iWork apps data from iCloud... but really NOTHING solves this. I even recorded a little video, it's more simple to show you what's happening here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpQ6wbFm6hM
(the text is in portuguese but I think you guys will get the idea)
Do anyone know what's happening and how to solve this? I called the brazilian AppleCare and the guys doesn't know what's happening too :/
Thanks!
Samuel Silva

I tried viewing the video on my computer, it turns out it's a flash video and I was unable to watch it on my iPod.
The problem with your documents are that they have become corrupt, you should delete them and start again. Of interest I note that you are not allowing the documents to fully upload before trying to open them on another device, once you have deleted all the documents from iCloud, I suggest leaving them until uploaded before trying to open them again.
