How will pages share docs on iCloud after iWork is discontinued?

Does this mean the money I paid for the pages app was wasted and pages no longer works after July?
Should I stop using pages now and migrate to new sharing solution?
I'm trying to work here. Please tell me if I am wasting my time on pages or if pages will support iCloud sharing after iWork is discontinued.
I don't have time to waste using pages anymore if it is going to be discontinued when iWork is discontinued.

So unless someone can clearly explain, in a way that non-engineers can understand, what that email meant when it said iWork was beng discontinued and that I have to download my pages files, and exactly how pages will support multi device file access after June, I am giving up and will stop using pages immediately.
Stop over-reacting and do some basic research. Apple have already answered your questions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5042
After July 31, 2012, you can no longer publish new documents to iWork.com from any iWork application on your Mac or iOS device. Documents already shared on iWork.com will not be available to you or to those you shared documents with.
Moving forward, you can use iCloud to share documents between your computer and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Learn more about or sign up for iCloud.
These are the first two paragraphs in the Apple Support document about the issue. Apple have clearly stated you will not be able to use the iWork.com service to share documents from 1 August. They did not say that the iWork products were being discontinued. They've also stated that you'll be able to use iCloud to share documents between your devices.
Note that Apple are a secretive company and usually don't pre-announce new or updated products or services. You'll find out more from Apple about using iCloud to replace iWork.com as 1 August approaches.
Note also that iCloud will not share documents with others - only between your devices. This is a key difference between iWork.com and iCloud. If you want to share documents with other people then you should migrate to another service like Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft Skydrive.

How do I share files on iCloud between different apps?

Hi,
how do I share files on iCloud between different apps?
I would like to edit simple plain text files on my Mac and my iPad using different apps. They don't see the content of each other. How do I fix this?
example:
when I create a .txt files:
Byword on Mac syncs nicely with Byword on iOS.
Ulysses 3 on Mac syncs nicely with Daedalus Touch.
BUT, cross-sync is not possible.... :/
How can I change this? - I would like to work with Byword on my Mac and Daedalus on the go.
Thanks in advance!

Cross-sync only works if an app on the iDevice allows it. For example, some apps (editors) sync with Dropbox (icloud usually isn't the thing to use) but only in their own folders.
If you save a file from the mac to it's own folder, A, on dropbox and on the device you use a different app that uses its own folder, B, then you won't be able to reach folder A on the device.
One thing to look for in editors that support Dropbox (most do, on a device - clearly all do on a mac) is whether they access dropbox using the root folder. From there you can drop down to any subfolder and reach the files you want.

How can I share photos on iCloud Drive?

I have a lot of photos shot with my DSLR camera.
How can I put all my photos in the iCloud Drive and view the photos from all my devices? And how can my wife view all these photos from her devices - that is .. how can she see all my iCloud Drive photos on her devices?
Thanks!
Mojo

I'm not sure understand you at this point.....
Have you set up a "shared photo stream" to share your photos with your wife? [System Preferences -> iCloud .. then check the box next to "Photos" and click on "Options" to the immediate right.... in the Options drop down make sure "iCloud Photo Sharing" is checked...
Then open iPhoto - select in the sidebar the album you want to share (if you only want to share individual photos select these in the main window)
Then click on the "Share" icon on the lower right of the iPhoto window - a little menu with icons will popup. Click on the iCloud icon in that menu... the next menu that pops up should be titled "Share"
Click on the first item (New Photo Stream --the one with the "+" sign) and create a "shared album" - a drop down window will appear at the top of iPhoto... just fill out the form (whom you want to share it with, the name of the shared album, etc. - if you want your wife to be able to add photos to the shared album, check off the box that says "Subscribers can post"
Your wife will have to agree to "subscribe" to this shared item (she will get "invite on her device - ) - once it is set up to see the shared photos in iPhoto click on "iCloud" in the sidebar under "Shared" and it will show you any shared albums in addition to your own Photo Stream... on devices, to see the shared album, open the Photos app... at the bottom one of your choices will be "shared" (a cloud icon) - touch that icon and you will get a list of all your shared iCloud albums as well as "activity"...
No need to "export" anything manual, etc.

How will you share to idvd with the new iMovie software?

after i updated my iMovie, sharing to idvd is gone, how will i transfer my movie to a dvd now? I bought my macbook in early 2011, still have the dvd drive.

The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

Cannot open docs in iCloud after update version 3.2

Hello folks,
today in the morning I take the suggested update for the iWork Suite on my MacBook Pro and my iPad mini. I use all the applications on both, so Numbers, Pages, Keynote. After the update my Mac programs show to me an error trying to open docs in iCloud. It says "doc xyz cannot be opened". If I move them to my local disk, everything is all right then. This is the same with Numbers, Pages and Keynote. If I move them back to iCloud, the problem appears once again. I didn't changed anything in settings on Mac and on my iPad mini, but the problem occurs just on my Mac. I have the latest updates of OS on both.
Thank you for every suggestion! Perhaps there are more like me out there?!
Michael

How do i share contacts on icloud between 2 iphones

I just updated my iphone 4s and want to share all the contacts on my wife's iphone 4s. How can this be done using iCloud?

It is difficult to reply to Winston Churchill, sir, but I feel compelled to pursue the question.
Your suggestion, which no doubtedly works, is not what I would call sharing.
I mean no disrespect: neither would you, if the matter was sharing of calendars.
In that case, you would say that we should mark any specific calendar and mention a different iCloud account and read-write rights. You need not know it's password. It is up to the email account of that iCloud account, to include these calendars or not. Since this is iCloud level privileges, it works like magic, on a desktop or when mobile.
Your suggestion cannot be easily used to share the contacts with a co-worker.
Knowing the password means you own the account, in my humble namespace this is not sharing.
I think there is no way to share contacts in iCloud, just yet, please correct me if I am wrong.
Sincerely yours,
Koray

HT201317 how do i share photos in icloud

How do I share photos to another icloud user via icloud?

You can't view your photos at icloud.com.
Photo Stream merely "pushes" your photos to your other devices (computer, Apple TV, ect). It pushes them for 30 days and has a 1,000 photo limit.

My iPhone will not automatically backup to iCloud after iOS7 install

My iPhone 5 will not automatically backup to icloud anymore now that iOS7 has been installed. Steps I have tried so far...
Installed iOS7 through Software Update - relazed three days later that the phone was not backing up
Did a manual backup
Erased the entire phone
Restored from iCloud backup
Then reset all phone settings
Signed out of iCloud, deleted all data and then signed back in
Is anyone else having this issue after updating to iOS7?

my dear friend i have like your problem before and when i see alot of solution i find the one it work with me and
come autmatic again
take the solution:
Note that a manual backup also factors into the automatic backup schedule, meaning the next automatic backup will not occur until 48 hours later.
Actually the iCloud backup process sounds a bit more complicated than it actually is in practical use. You can’t schedule iCloud backups manually, but you don’t need to do so as iOS takes care of this for you, and it’s designed to be pretty transparent.
Once enabled, iCloud backups will run automatically whenever the following conditions are met:
Your device is powered on,
Your device is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi,
Your device is connected to a power source,
Your device has the screen locked (i.e. turned off), and
It has been at least 24 hours since the last successful backup occurred.
In other words, your device may not be backed up to iCloud at the same time every day, but once 24 hours has elapsed the iPhone will make a backup as soon as it is plugged in and on Wi-Fi with the screen off. For example, if your iPhone backs up to iCloud at 10:00 pm tonight, but you don’t plug it in while on a Wi-Fi connection until midnight tomorrow night, the next backup will occur at midnight—basically as soon as you plug it in—and future backups will continue to run at midnight on subsequent days as long as the iPhone is plugged in, connected to Wi-Fi, and has the screen off at that time. If you’re working an irregular schedule and coming home at different hours, this may gradually push the backups to later at night, but the backup won’t be skipped if you miss the time window—it will still occur as soon as possible once all of the other conditions are met.
This does of course mean that sometimes backups can get pushed to the point where they may be delayed until the next night; come home at 10 a.m. on a Sunday morning and plug in your iPhone and that’s when your next backup will occur, but if you leave for work on Monday morning at 9:00 am and your phone isn’t plugged in and on Wi-Fi while at work, you won’t get another automatic backup until you get home and plug it in later that night.
You can check the time of the last successful iCloud backup by going into the Settings app on your iPhone and choosing Storage & Backup from the iCloud section.
You can also tap the “Back Up Now” button from this screen to create a manual iCloud backup at any time. To create a manual iCloud backup, your iPhone only needs to be on Wi-Fi, it does not need to be plugged in or have the screen off.
Note that a manual backup also factors into the automatic backup schedule, meaning the next automatic backup will not occur until 48 hours later.
This can be one method for adjusting to a specific backup time if you really feel the need to, but it’s largely unnecessary as iOS should naturally settle into a standard backup routine as long as your iPhone is regularly plugged in and on Wi-Fi for at least a few hours each day, such as while you’re sleeping.
As one last note, it’s also worth keeping in mind that the iPhone only needs to be connected to power with the screen off to start an iCloud backup; once the automatic backup has started, it will continue as long as the iPhone remains on a Wi-Fi connection, even if you unplug the iPhone or begin using it.

How will account/email change for iCloud

I tried to change my iCloud acct in viewing my iCloud messages in the settings from short cut icon.it picked up my child email acct...please help..thanks!

If you need to change the iCloud ID on your devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

Pages/Numbers docs on iCloud but not on iOS devices?

Hello,
I had been using Pages and Numbers for some time and when iCloud came out I synced all my existing documents from both. Currently, they reside normally in iCloud (since I can access them from iCloud.com) but they are no longer on either my iPhone or iPad. I cannot figure out how to get them back either.
My workaround so far has been to download them onto my Macbook from iCloud.com and then put them into iTunes...But everytime I do this the setting for using iCloud (Settings - Apps - Numbers/Pages) changes from Yes to No automatically.
I'm kind of stuck at this point. I've even tried redownloading Pages to see if I would get prompted to pull stuff from iCloud back onto the iOS device.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Same issue here.
My workaround:
Email the documents/spreadsheets to myself
Open email on the other device.
Click the attachment.
Select "Open with Numbers (or Pages)".
I would prefer that they sync automagically.

How do I share documents on iCloud across my apple device

I would like documents on my iMac to be available on my macbook. I have just upgraded to OS X Yosemite.

And both are logged into the same iCloud account I assume.
Go to www.icloud.com and look in the drive there.

How do I share a Keynote presentation when iWork ceases?

My keynote presentation is enormous so e-mailing is not really an option, the recipient is new to all things iPad, so what is the easiest way to share a presentation?
I know I can upload it to my computer but that seems unweildy.
If they are ditching iWork they should have a solution, but iCloud only seems to work with your own documents and devices....

Not done, sorry.
so sending by mail didn't work either, because the Keynote 13 file could not be attached to a mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keynote 09 can as can PowerPoint). This is ridiculus. This is Apple trying really hard to make it impossible for people to work with their software

How do i share a numbers (v.09) spread sheet on iCloud to my iPod or other Mac (both Macs os10.7.5)

I want to share Numbers/Pages v.09 using iCloud since iWork.com no longer exists.
I create files on my Macbook os 10.7.5 and want to share via iCloud to my iMAC os 10.7.5 and used to use iWork.com on iCloud before.
in Numbers 09, there is no drop down for iCloud under the Share tab.

Mountain Lion, OS 10.8, & the iWork 9.2 update are required for automatic syncing of iWork documents between your devices using iCloud. You can use iCloud.com in a web browser to manually sync documents if you're using an earlier OS.
