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.

    I have 2 macs at home; the imac (latest 10.8.2) works fine, but my rMBP will not update pages documents in the cloud.  anything that is opened/modified will show a dotted outline cloud and will say that it's pending the update, but it never happens.  Any thoughts?

  • 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" 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.

  • Documents in the Cloud not working (impossible!)

    I am encountering the most strange difficulty with iCloud, particularly Documents in the Cloud and the syncing of Numbers and Pages documents between iPad and iPhone. I do not use Keynote.
    I will try and describe the problem in as much detail as possible and explain everything I have tried to do.
    My goal is for documents I create on iPad to sync to iPhone, and vice versa, with changes appearing on both, and on iCloud.com. To clarify I'm not involving the Mac in anyway, I am aware this is a current limitation of Documents in the Cloud. Unless I'm missing something, what I want to do is what is advertised.
    - I am running the latest version of iOS on both iPad and iPhone.
    - I have the latest versions of Keynote and Pages on both.
    - I am logged in to iCloud on both iPad and iPhone with the same account
    - iCloud is working fine for all other purposes (Bookmark sync, PhotoStream etc)
    - Documents and Data is switched on, as is the option for Using Cellular Data
    - Use iCloud is set to ON under Pages and Keynote preferences
    - The arrow indicating a cloud document is on every document on both iPad and iPhone's icon, in the top right of each icon
    - In iCloud -> Storage & Backup -> Manage Storage -> Documents & Data -> Numbers it displays all the expected documents.
    The current behaviour appears to be that I create a document on either device, and the document is PARTIALLY uploaded to iCloud. That is, it appears on iCloud.com under iWork, but when I click on any file it either says "Upload failed" or "Waiting" for each file.
    If I try and delete a document on iWork.com, it crashes the web app and does not delete the documents.
    Things I have tried to resolve:
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling Numbers and Pages on both devices
    - Soft resetting both devices
    - Disabling and re enabling Documents in the Cloud on both devices
    - Disabling and re enabling iCloud toggle in the individual app preferences on both devices
    - Deleting and readding iCloud account on both devices
    - A full restore then restoring from iCloud backup on both devices (yes, I actually did that)
    - A combination of the above in various sequence orders, none of which made any difference
    More information... one solution on the web pointed to the problem involving a duplicate account which could be deleted from the Mail settings, however I only have one configured account - my iCloud account. Just in case it matters, my iCloud email is an @mac.com address.
    I think I have covered everything. Any help would be appreciated since Apple themselves seemed pretty stumped on the phone, suggesting another restore, or setting the phone and iPad up as brand new devices. I'd really rather not until I've exhausted every possible outcome.
    Any help massively appreciated!!!

    I don't see it mentioned above, but when you remove the apps from your devices, have you been to system preferences > iCloud and checked that all your pages and numbers documents have been deleted from your storage, deleting them if necessary.
    Also when you add things back, avoid adding documents with the same names as those you have been having problems with.

  • Mountain lion not loading documents in the cloud

    Issues with documents in the cloud not loading in mountain lion??

    Daniel,
    The only thing I have seen is that loading times vary when I add stuff. It seems that it does not refresh my list as fast or is a little lagging from time to time. I have seen this with documents in the cloud and notes, some times takes a few minutes to "update"
    Could be the amount of users in iCloud now just slowing the servers and im sure they will get it sorted out.

  • 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.
    Aloha

    If no joy, choose View menu > Customize Toolbar and re-choose the default or set it manually to your liking.

  • 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.

  • How to recover deleted documents in the cloud

    I am using the windows phone app. I made sure my files were saved to the cloud at adobe.com I then updated my phone and reset it. After reinstalling the adobe app by files were intact. The next day I opened the app again and it requested I sign in again. Which was odd and once I did all my files with the exception of one were gone. I don't know how this happened. I assume the cloud made an error an synced my phone to the cloud by deleting everything in the cloud except one local file. I need to know how to recover them. What's the point of this feature if my documents are so volatile?

    Can you please ensure that you are viewing the documents in 'Document Cloud' tab and not 'Recent' tab?
    Thanks.

    I have a pc and downloaded a trial version of Adobe Acrobat DC to create pdfs. I have followed the simple instructions but what I get is an entire screen shot saved instead of just my document. The instructions seem so simple. I can't imagine what I am doing wrong. Have project I need to submit today. Please help.

    Unfortunately, what you describe isn't a common problem. It is pretty surprising, but hopefully it's a simple as clicking or pressing the wrong thing. So, to find this out we need to know, step by step, at the most basic level, what you click or type EXACTLY and what you see. That should let us get to the cause.

  • 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".

  • 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...
