How to open pages documents in icloud on macbook air

I have pages on my IPhone, IPad and new MacBook Air.  I have confirmed that my Pages documents are all in iCloud.  However, I dont know how to find them from the Pages app on my MacBook Air.  Any help?

You need to be using Mountain Lion to automatically have documents in iCloud visible on your Mac. You can go to iCloud.com in a web browser & download the files in an earlier OS.

    You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
    Your options:
    1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
    or, if that is impossible,
    2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

  • Problem open "pages" documents from icloud

    Hi,
    I have pages for MAC and IPAD.  Quite often I cannot open or save documents located on icloud drive. The same document can be opened if I transfer it to local disk or if I look to it using "preview" but when I try to point to the orginal idrive location I get the message "document cannot be opened" or "document cannot be saved" This is odd enough as in icloud settings have pages enabled. The all idea is making my documents on MAC and being able to read them using IPAD or MAC at my own convenience.
    Any clue?
    Thanks,

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

  • Cannot open Pages document in iCloud

    Hi all
    I recently had to factory reset my iPad2 after a corrupted Apple software update. Fortunately almost everything was recovered via iTunes and iCloud backups. However, I am unable to access a very important Pages document (Pages docs were recovered from iCloud after the reset). It shows in pages but is misted out a little and it won't let me open it. When I look into iCloud I can see that the document is there and has content as the file size is 11mb but I am still unable to open it. It is many, many hours of work and I am desperate to retrieve the file if I can.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you
    Ross

    Thank you for the reply Alfred.
    The document wouldn't open immediately after the iCloud recovery in the previous version of Pages and it still won't open in the most up to date version. I have tried accessing iWork via my PC (sorry all, planning a Mac!) but still cannot get into the app.
    In the previous version of Pages I couldn't even select the document for deletion or sharing. Is there any way I can try to recover the document again from iCloud? I guess that if I do delete the corrupted file from Pages, I cannot then try to recover it from iCloud?
    Thanks again Alfred.

  • How to retrieve pages documents from iCloud after the reset settings glitch deleted all of my files.

    Before all this news that resetting your device wpull delete all your pages documents, I discovered it first hand and lost many of my files for school! I need to recover my files and I cant go to an apple store as of right now. Would someone please contact me!??

    Apple is unlikely to read your post here as this is a user to user support forum.  You can contact Apple support here: Contact Apple for support and service. 
    If you happen to have a Mac that is signed into your iCloud account that you back up using Time Machine I can tell you how to restore them from your Time Machine backup.

    So iCloud just enables me to access my files from another mac?
    No, not just enables that.
    That (Back to my Mac) is only one of the features.
    think I need to study the link you sent me,
    Most definitely.

  • How to open the hidden files in the macbook air?

    Hi,
    I am not able to open the hidden files on my external disk. COuld you pleasee how to open?

    Thank you
    I deleted the whole disk. When I start the computer I press Command+R and appears the earth planet and all the networks detected by the computer. What I don´t understand is that I have a MacBook and an iPad beside the Macbook Air and both recognize the network, but the MacBook Air can´t.
    I tried to use an external drive with the Macbook leopard OS but the  MacBook Air didn´t recognize too.

  • Can't open Pages-Document in iCloud

    Hallo, wenn ich mit Pages auf meinem iMac versuche, die in der iCloud abgelegten Dokumente zu öffnen, bekomme ich die Meldung: >>Die Datei "XXX.pages" konnte nicht geöffnet werden. Wenn ich mich über iCloud anmelde, kann ich die Dokumente hingegen öffnen... Der Systemstatus von iCloud zeigt alles in "grün" an

    Tried to go to the source and the document can't be download on iCloud either.
    I made a copy of the problem document and am not able to open that one either.
    Hours of work lost.  This is not good.  Apple Support, please help us.

  • How do I save documents from iCloud into pages on my 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.

  • When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 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 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud 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 not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

    i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • How do I utilize the iCloud to view Pages documents created on my MacBook?

    I'm trying to figure out how to get pages documents from the iCloud to view on my iPad that were originally created on my MacBook. Do I need to download the pages app if I already have it on my MacBook? I guess I'm confused as to how to even find what's stored in my iCloud. When I save things on my MacBook are they automatically put in the iCloud?
    Thanks in advance for help.

    In which case you will need to upload and download documents to and from iCloud through the web portal at iCloud.com

  • Pages documents in iCloud can't be opened

    I stored some Pages documents in iCloud last fall, and now—even though they are visible in the Pages "open" window in Mountain Lion—I can't open them on either my Mac or iOS devices. When I click or tap on these documents, they appear to "zoom open" (in Mac OS) but never actually do.
    Has anyone else run into this issue, or does anyone have any advice?

    Restart fixed this, but still—not reassuring.

  • I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?iDocbackup

    I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?

    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...
