How do i save documents to iCloud on my mac

I have put Lion on my iMac and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad. The problem I have is where do I save things on my iMac so they will appear in iCloud? iDisk used to be an option within my folders...

Unfortunately iCloud doesn't allow this type of syncing. The only way to actually sync your Mac iWork files with iCloud is by going to the iCloud website and then dragging the file into the window to upload it.
So if you want to edit a file you have on iCloud you have to go to teh icloud wbsite. Download it to your mac. Edit it. Then drag it back to iCloud.
Hopefully in a not to distant upgrade to iWork the ability to directly sync from the mac (like iDisk and dropbox allows) will be implemented.
If you want to be able to sync like your asking your best bet woudl be to use dropbox. It makes thigns a little tricker on the ipad end. For one you'd need to get a secondary app called iSMEStorage. This app allows you to download via Webdav to dropbox. Essentially you just need to pay for it to set it up but don't use that app directly.
Then rather than directly opening the file you want to edit from numbers (or pages or whatever) you'd have to use the drop box app, find the file, open it in numbers. Once your finished editing it in Numbers youd had to export it via Webdav to dopbox.
So currently the only way to sync ipad and mac iWork files is to use icloud and download then re-upload on your mac, or use dropbox and have to download and re-upload on your ipad.

    HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

    Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

  • How do I save documents in iCloud?

    I create documents on my iPad using iNumbers.  When I sign in to iCloud on my PC the documents are not in iNumbers.  How do I save the documents that I create on my iPad in iCloud so that I can review/modify them on my PC?  Thank you.

    If you're not planning on saving to iCloud, do this:

    System Preferences > iCloud > uncheck "Documents & Data"
    Unfortunately this will not be helpful if you happen to use iCloud for Documents at times, but with the option unchecked Pages, Keynote, & Numbers remember the last folder saved to again.
    Cheers.

  • HT204053 how do i see documents in icloud

    How do I setup Icloud to view documents.
    I checked it in the preferences box but do not see an icon nor know where to store documents in order to be seen

    Hi,
    In fact, document can only be seen from within apps.  On your Mac, it will be from within Pages, Numbers, etc. and from your iOS device, it will be again from the related apps.  These updated apps for Mountain Lions have a feature to select where to open/save document; on iCloud or on Mac.
    From iCloud.com, you can go on the iWork icon to see all your documents.
    Again, this only work with Mountain Lion.

    You can't.  iCloud doesn't support general file/document storage.  Try a different cloud service like Dropbox.

  • How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

    How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

    Thank you so much - so simple!  I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options.  I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it.  Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
    I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
    Thanks again

  • How do i save games to icloud

    how do i save games to icloud using my macbook?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot save games in iCloud. That's not the iCloud purpose.
    Instead, if you have "Documents & Data" enabled in System Preferences > iCloud, your iCloud-compatible games may save your progresses and settings in iCloud, but nothing else.

    how do I put documents on iCloud?

    You would have to turn on iCloud first (Mac: System Preferences > iCloud > Documents & Data; iOS: Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data). Then you could use the latest version of apps like Pages, Numbers and Keynote to store documents on iCloud and sync it between devices.

    I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    You can't use iCloud like that.  It isn't a general file storage service; it's designed to sync data across your devices. 
    Some options are to sync all your music or other media off your device, then sync it back on after you update.  Another is to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them back to your phone after you update by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • How do I save documents on iwork/pages on my ipad?, How do I save documents on iwork/pages on my ipad?

    How do I save documents on iwork/pages on my ipad?

    Many images from the web can be saved to the iPad's camera roll by tapping and holding on the image itself. A dialog box pops up with "Save Image" as one of the options.
    Facebook handles some images slightly differently, since it's trying to respect its users' privacy preferences. If the tap and hold trick doesn't work, the image may have a "Download" link beneath it and to the right. If you tap the "Download" link, you'll then see a bare version of the image in Safari. You can then tap and hold *that* image to save it to the iPad's camera roll.
    If there's no "Download" link either, it means the user has set up their privacy settings such that you can't download the image. At that point your only workaround would be to snap a screenshot by clicking the home and power buttons simultaenously. That saves the current screen to the camera roll.

  • How do i sync my iWork documents to iCloud from my Mac?

    I can't seem to sync my documents with iCloud from my mac. I've installed the latest update for Lion and there are no updates avaiable from any of the iWork applications. The Douments I create on my iPad are there but I can't seem to sync them with my mac.
    This is a really important for me as i am a part time student and i work too, so i have to squeeze whatever time i can whenever i can to produce work. I can't always carry my macbook pro so i need to work from my iPad too and i dont have time to keep copying all my files across. I have used dropbox and google documents until now.
    Thanks,

    It would appear that there's no direct way to synchronize iWork document between a Mac and iCloud the way there was with iDisk, or at least I haven't found mention of it anywhere, and I've been searching for it as I juggle between my iPhone and my Mac all the time. The iDisk sync wasn't automatic on iPhone, whereas iCloud is, which is great, but if you want the files on your Mac, you need to log on to iCloud from a browser, download the files you want, work on them and reupload them. Not exactly what I call seemless.
    Hopefully Apple will make iCloud more easily accessible from Finder soon.

    You can't instal iCloud, it is part of the operating system (OSX 10.7.2 and above) if you have iCloud, you'll find it in system preferences.
