File hung on download from iCloud (pages, keynote, mac, iOS)

I've got two files, one in Pages and one in Keynote, that are hanging on the download from iCloud. No matter what device (mac, ipad, iphone) I use to view iCloud it shows the file partially downloaded and "updating." I can't select it and I can't delete it. Unfortunately, for both files, they're the only version of them I have. Other files come and go no problem.
I've tried reseting iCloud on all devices, restarting, reinstalling apps… no change. Would love to know what could be done about this.

Hi Weaverj,
You may have more luck in the iWork for iOS forum. In OSX it is easy to store the file locally.

  • When I download a Numbers file from iCloud to my Mac, it isn't the latest version.

    Today I worked on a Numbers file on my iPad 2 from 4:40 pm to 6:30 pm. A few hours later, when I tried to download the file from iCloud to my Mac, none of today's changes appeared. When I looked at it again on the iPad, on the main Numbers page where you choose the file you want, it showed a time of 4:43 pm associated with the file. However, when I opened it, the two hours of work was still there even though the time was off. I tried sending the file as an email and when I opened the email attachment on my Mac, all of today's changes were there. So the new changes are captured when emailing a file but not when downloading it.
    It almost seems as if the file hasn't made it off the iPad and into iCloud, but I can't find any information on ways to force that or know if it's been done.

    Two possible problems. <br />
    1. BlackBoard never supports the latest version of Firefox, for a few reasons. Some schools don't run the latest version of BlackBoard Vista or Campus Edition. Also, BlackBoard upgrades seem to be tied to the "school year" cycle, the changes they make to improve and update their software seem to be rolled out for the fall term so that changes aren't being made during the normal "school year" and possibly causing problems for the schools. That also may be a function of their contract / payment cycles with the schools that use their programs.
    http://www2.blackboard.com/tuneup/viewpage?name=tuneup_browser_tuneup_windows_firefox <br />
    Select the link for the version of WebCT Vista or Campus Edition ''(version info is usually at the bottom of each page, in the footer)'' that your school is using, then see which version of Firefox is compatible.
    Depending upon which version of WebCT your school is using, you will have to use Firefox 3.6.x, Firefox 3.5.x, or Firefox 3.0.x when accessing the Blackboard site.
    My advice is to install the Firefox Portable version that you need for Blackboard on your computer, and use that installation only for Blackboard. Continue to use 4.0.1 for all other web browsing. <br />
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy
    2. Firefox uses a Plugin ( you have Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator installed) to open files that aren't "internet files", like word processing documents. <br />
    I can't help you directly with Office, as I use Open Office, but there should be a preference for that Plugin within your Office preferences or options under something like Internet, to have those files '''Display documents in browser'''. <br />
    Or see this to make sure you have your "file type" set correctly. <br />

  • How do I retrieve my deleted Pages files or get them from iCloud on iPad2

    Hi,
    This is actually two questions but they are kinda related.
    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.1
    Pages deleted all my documents when I opened it and it told me there was an update. I clicked the update button, but when I saw the update was 250 MB I thought I would wait to update. I returned to Pages and all my documents were gone.
    How do I get them back?
    If I go to the settings I can see several of my Pages documents (maybe all of them) are stored in my iCloud. That's great, but how do I get them back on my iPad 2 in my Pages App?
    All the Best

    If you started the update, you may have rendered the app useless until you finish the update. That's simply a guess o n my part, though. Are you able launch the app? If so, can you create a new document?
    Something else to consider ....I  have deleted the Pages app from my iPad several times in the past for troubleshooting purposes. When I deleted the app, the documents were also deleted from the device, but they still remained in iCloud as they should. When I reinstalled the app, all of my Page documents downloaded from iCloud onto my iPad again, which is the normal and expected behavior. If your files are still in iCloud, that might be worth a try.

  • Pages documents very slow to download from icloud

    Purchased a new MacBook Pro. Now some Pages documents have stalled downloading from iCloud.
    How do I restart the downloads?

    Resolved!  Disabled BT Home Hub as wireless. Removed Devolo wireless plugs from house. Removed TP link powerline adapters (Apple TV was connected to ethernet). Set Time Capsule as the only wireless point in the house. Interestingly, if you have more than 1 access point in the house, BT Home Hub can get a little confused - so removing its wireless capability via the admin function via advanced settings basically set Time Capsule as only access point in the house). Changed DNS on Windows 7 machine to Open DNS.....(FYI, outside of US & Canada, Google DNS is pretty much useless and won't speed up your download speeds on Apple TV).  Restored Apple TV to factory settings and started again. Downloads from iCloud almost instant; downloads from shared computer almost instant; streaming from YouTube and Netflix almost instant. Happy days....

  • File cannot be opened from iCloud

    Hi,
    so I have multiple documents in my iCloud for all iWorks programs.
    One numbers file however will no longer open or download.
    If I try to open it on my MBPr I get the following error
    "The document could not be opened"
    If I try to copy it onto my desktop I get the following error
    "cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork."
    * mind you all my software is up to date.
    If I try to open it on my iOS device I get the following error
    "Spreadsheet can't be opened."
    And last but not least if I try to open it via iCloud.com
    no matter what format I choose to download
    I can see the thumbnail, but I just cannot get the damned thing to open.
    any other ideas what I might try? anyone?

    My girlfriend's sister is having the same problem. We managed to get the pages file onto a PC to have a look and it's a folder called "name.pages-tef"
    Inside the folder are the following:
    If I open the index.db file with a text editor, I can see the text but it's surrounded by gobbledygook code.
    Any help would be much appreciated as it's 3 months worth of notes apparently. If you try and share it as Pages file, PDF or Word from the Pages app on iPad where it is or from iCloud, it fails. Literally just need to be able to print this so she can get her notes back.

  • Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

    Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Ipod Nano won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages...

    My first generation Nano was initially sent back to Apple due to the battery losing it's charge to quickly. They sent me back what appears to be a replacement Nano and now this one won't play any songs downloaded from MySpace pages of bands, shared from friends (unprotected mp3 files) or otherwise downloaded from the internet.
    Whats unusual is that any songs imported from a CD to the Nano play fine as do any songs purchased from iTunes. I know Apple has stated that any files the user wishes to play on their iPods will play as long as the format is compatible. (All of these songs in question played on the original Nano and the problems started when they said they fixed it and sent it back (although it is missing the engraving which to me indicates they gave me a refurbished Nano). My Applecare runs out in mid-October so I need to figure out what is wrong. I sent it back a second time and they told me they couldn't recreate the problem so they just updated the software and sent it back.
    Someone suggested that some iPods have a part of the firmware activated (which Apple may have been testing) that prevents any non-ITunes store music or music no t off an original CD to fail to play.
    When attempting to play downloaded songs from sites like Purevolume and MySpace the iPod plays for a few seconds then shuts down and restarts itself, all of these songs worked fine before Apple took it in for service.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello,
    I have exactly the same problem. It`s so annoying.
    I did a little bit research on this discussion board and this problem seems to be known for quite a long time. It`s confusing me Apple is not able to fix that prob or give customers quick introduction to resolve the prob.
    I am currently on vacation in Florida and just bought the new iPod 30 Gig. I transfered already songs from my music cd. That worked fine.
    I bought 2 music video files, synced them with no error to the iPod, but it only shows me a black screen when I want to start the video on the iPod itself. itunes plays the files with no problem.
    Any ideas how to fix it??

  • HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
    Thanks

    I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
    Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

  • Why do some songs re-download from iCloud in 256 Variable?

    Some songs will download from iCloud in 256-bit, others in 256 Variable. Why that? All were uploaded/matched from Apple Lossless (ALAC).

    I don't know this for sure, since I have not seen this behavior, but this is my speculation.
    Songs that are matched will download from the iTunes Store in straight 256 Kbps, since that is how they are encoded. The VBR downloads are probably coming from tracks that are uploaded, and this is how you've got your import settings set up. Any ALAC files that are not matched will have a copy made of them and that will be uploaded so I'm guessing that whatever your import settings are is how the files will be encoded.

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

    That's possible if he didn't connect to a WiFi hotspot after taking them.  I don't think the "Personal" Photo Stream uploads over Cellular, unless they changed it since the last time I used it.
    If that's the case, then the photos likely didn't upload to Photo Stream and are stuck on the phone.
    And you're not going to be able to get them back, either.
