How do i upload Pages documents and folders to iCloud and make sure they sync on all my devices?

Hi,
I'm new to iCloud and don't really know how to use it yet.  I have a desktop Mac, a Macbook Pro laptop and an iPad.  Currently all my Pages documents are on my desktop computer.  I would like to upload them to iCloud and then have it set so that they automatically sync and I can access them on all my devices.  I want to make sure I always have the most up to date version of a document when I open it on any device, without having to update manually.  Can anyone tell me please how I do this?  Can I keep them in folders (there are a lot of documents!). 
Also, because I just upgraded Pages and was previously using Pages 09 it keeps asking me each time I open a document if I want to upgrade it to the current Pages.  Can I somehow set this as default now so I won't keep having to say yes?
Thanks for any help!

To use icloud,  enable it (using the same Apple ID) on all your devices. If you move a document that already exists to iCloud, it will automatically be available to all your devices. Ditto on new doc: if you save it to icloud when you name it, it will automatically be available to all your devices.  If you make a change on one device, you'll be prompted on other devices to pick the one you want to keep,
One BIG proviso: pages 5.1, and Pages for icloud,  are VERY BUGGY. Users here complain of corrupted files, lost data, the program hanging, etc. DO NOT user them for anything you care about.
Also, Pages 5.1, as exhaustively documented here, is a pale shadow of Pages 4.3. Nearly a hundred features present in 4.3 are not present in Pages 5.1, including such basic things as mail merge, bookmarks, meaningful Applescript and Services support. You cannot even set the default zoom, reliably export documents with links to a PDF, or view comments while editing (nor can you print comments).  It is useless for page layout since you can no longer view a page spread, nor set alernating left/right margins and headers and footers.  A lot of advance typographical support has gone missing, too. Non contgious text selection? Gone. How many pages in your document?  You have to dig down in the little "word count" bubble (after turning it on) to find out. Why?  As an early review put it, Pages 5 is an "unmitigated disaster."
To stop being promted to update, go to system preferences and uncheck "automatically check for updates."

  • HT4858 My iphone5 was stolen (second time) :( How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back

    My iphone5 was stolen (second time) How can I recover my photos and videos on icloud? Last time they did not all come back. Specifically I need photos I took 1 day before it was stolen.

    If they are in photo stream and your computer meets the minimum system requirements (OS X 10.7.2 or higher and iPhoto '11 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later; or Vista SP2 or later if you have a PC), set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.  You'll get any photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
    Camera roll photos are stored in your iCloud backup, and can only be recovered by restoring the entire backup to another iPhone or iPod Touch that is running the same or higher version of iOS as the phone you backed up.

  • How do I organize pages documents into folders on iPad?

    I'm both an author and a student and could greatly benefit from using this program for my documents, and if you look at the top of the screen, there is an icon of a folder there, but how the heck do I organize my documents into the folders?
    I can't imagine having to scroll through hundreds of documents to find the one I want... but this seems to be the only way to find things. Is it possible that we can put a man on the moon but can't organize our documents in pages?
    I think not.
    So please, somebody tell me how to deal with this mess.
    Thanks!!

    The iPad Pages discussions are here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1370
    You are in the Mac iWork area. Better to ask the iPad folks.

  • HT3702 How do I get details of what charges were for to make sure they are mine?

    There are many charges on my latest credit card bill for iTunes NZ Cork IRL for 07 September, 09 September , 15 September , 18th September, 19 & 20 September, 24 25 & 26 September.
    How donI find out what these were for?

    If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases (the most recent purchase is above the list). I'm not sure if auto-renewing subscriptions show on there. If you can't find the charge or don't recognise it then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • How do I upload pages docs from my mac to iCloud?

    How do I upload pages documents from my mac to iCloud? Is it something I have to turn on through Pages or do I drag and drop them in the cloud?  When I try to drag and drop them in the cloud, they instantaneously get downloaded to my computer.  iCloud is turned on in my preferences and I have an iCloud account.

    You put them in your Dropbox folder and then open them from your Dropbox app on iOS into your iOS iWork apps. That's puts them into iCloud, including the icloud.com webpage.
    That certainly is not the official solution but the official Apple is silent on how to achieve this.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • I am having the same problem I think.  With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch.  I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore.  Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF file

    Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
    Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
    , so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
    No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
    Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
    Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
    Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
    They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice.

  • How to save a Pages document so that it can be uploaded to Facebook as a graphic?

    Hi,
    I need to make event posters for my job and I use Pages as the layout program to do this.  But when I try to upload a Pages poster design to our Facebook page it will not upload the file.  I am using the "attach photo" option to try to upload the posters but have not been able to do it.  To circumvent this problem I have had to print out the poster, then scan it as a jpeg and then upload it.  A lot of trouble and wasted ink.  Is there a way to upload pages documents to Facebook that I am unaware of?
    I am using Pages '08.
    Thank you for any help.

    Other than a PDF, you can't save as an image directly from Pages, but you can do it with the software on your Mac. Export or Print your Pages document as a PDF & open that PDF in Preview. Use the selection tool to select the area you want. You can crop & save as .jpg, but I recommend going to the File menu in Preview & choosing New From Clipboard to make a new file. This is because some programs, Pages in particular, will always "see" the unselected area & paste the whole thing. I also suggest using .png rather than .jpg. .jpg is a "lossy" format, .png will be much clearer. TIFF is also clear but usually a large file.

  • How do i upload a document from my MacBook Pro to iCloud?

    How do i upload a document from my MacBook Pro to iCloud?

    To get Pages Documents (and Word) to iCloud from your computer, log into iCloud.com and go to the iWork tab. Then copy that file to the page. Works with Numbers and, I think, Excel files too. But you can't copy any type of file you want to iCloud, it has to be one of the supported formats. Also, you need to have Pages/Numbers app on a device to allow syncing from iCloud to the device and to copy from Mac to iCloud.

    If you have a Mac that is signed into your account and you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover the deleted document using Time Machine.  Otherwise, without a backup souce there is no way to recover it.

    Here is some information on how to get a document from your iDevice to iCloud (which means you need to have the iOS version of Pages installed on your iPad or iPhone:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/documents/
    And here is a slew of other help articles:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.psp.more&locale=e n_US&q=Documents%20in%20the%20Cloud
    And, icloud is not really "storage" - it is meant to "push" a document you create on one iDevice to another.
    FWIW, I assume you are on Lion? Please change your profile - it still shows 10.5.8...
