HT202879 Pages on Mac and Pages on IPad

With up grade in pages last fall all my docs in Mac were lost......luckly they were in pages on Ipad where they remain.
Is there anyway to sync them back into Mac?

Pages for iPad understands documents stored in iCloud, or locally on the iPad. If you use the former, both your iPad and Mac must be using the same Apple ID, and be signed into iCloud. Additionally, you will need to enable Documents & Data under iCloud on each device. This is in Settings > iCloud on IOS, and System Preferences > iCloud on OS X. Note on the latter, that there is an options category under Documents & Data. Check the Pages item in that sublist.
In Pages on your Mac, from the open dialog, choose the iCloud tab, and the documents that display there can be option+drag/drop to copy to your Mac, or simply drag/drop to move to your Mac. Bear in mind that if these are Pages ’09, or IOS Pages v1.7.2 documents, that you probably want a backup of them before opening in any release of Pages v5, due to irretrievable conversion into the v5 document architecture.
For documents local on your iPad, connect the device to iTunes with a USB cable. When your iPad appears under DEVICES in the left iTunes panel, select it. For the associated tabs for your iPad, click on Apps, and then scroll to the bottom where applications that can share documents is located. Pages will appear in this location, and any local files on your iPad will too. You can simply drag them from the panel to where you want them on your Mac.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.

I have Word for Mac and Pages. I can't find a "to do list" template in either.

I have Word for Mac and Pages. I'm looking for a "to do list" template. I don't really want to make one.

My apologies. Yesterday that link worked fine in Chrome under Lion, today
it crashed Safari and Lion. Here is another link to try (non microsoft) which
just worked in Chrome and Safari: http://www.printabletodolist.com/
Sorry for the first link - don't know what happened. I did get a warning
that it was an untrusted site in Chrome, but warning flashed up and went
away - maybe Microsoft is/was under attack.

Pages on Mac and iPad reported different

On my iMac I am using: OSX 10.7.5 with Pages '09 v 4.2 (Part of iWork package originally bought for loads of money on DVD - and subsequently updated through Mac update) Now offered at a more modest but additional price as a separate application to the same version level.
On the iPad 2: I bought the iPages App recently updated to iOS 6
When I upload a file to the iPad through iCloud I get a Pages icon on the iPad which when opened it says this may be different so open another copy.
My questions:
Do I need to keep both copies of the Pages document on the iPad 2?
Will they still sync through iCloud?
Are there any other problems if I delete the original uploaded document?
By The Way
Why doesnt Apple treat the original copy of Pages as the initial copy of the App? Is this the incompatibility?
Thanks

I have the exact same setup and I can tell you you're in for frustration. iWork for Mac and iWork for iOS are similar but completely different applications that use different incompatible files. iWork for iOS doesn't support a myriad of features from the Mac version. The main thing is fonts... iOS only has a few fonts so it will convert any font not supported. I've also encountered problems with tables, headers, footers, floating graphics, floating text boxes, and imported Numbers charts.
Then there's the file size bug. Any file from iOS downloaded from iCloud or emailed to your Mac will expand by 5Mb when converted to the Mac version. Looking inside the files, iWork Mac added 13 background color files, each weighing in at 400Kb. A simple totally blank Pages iOS file will grow from 28Kb to 5.1Mb on the Mac when converted. I've dug through the program and can't seem to find a fix, other than cut-n-paste to a new document and trash the iOS file.
I agree with Peter. The Mac version is the full blown iWork and the iOS version is just a subset. Personally, I avoid docs on iCloud and opt instead for DropBox to sync files between my Mac and Macbook. That works flawlessly. I treat the iPad version as a separate app and export to Word and Excel and email the files to my Mac. That gets around the 5Mb file issue but then I have to reformat everything again.
All of this has lead me back to using Office for stuff I need mobile access to. With the new SkyDrive and online Office apps, it's a much more fluid workflow and I haven't had any compatibility issues either. But that's another thread.

Pages 09 on Mac and Pages 5 on iPad AAAAGHHHH!!!

I was away from home when Pages 5 came out and, rather naively, I installed it on my iPad. It was only when I got home today thatr I found out how genuinely useless to me Pages 5 is on the Mac. I had been used to minor problems in sharing beween Mac and iPad before. They were irritating. Now I can't share at all because Pages 5 reformats the damned file! Is there any way at all I can go back to the old Pages on my iPad?

So, since I do not have access to the new version of Pages for mac, there is absolutely nothing I can do? I am stuck with the incompatibility of Pages v2 on my iPad and Pages 09 on my Mac OSX 10.8.5.
I'm glad to see they gave Pages 5.0 for mac the ability to export to Pages 09, but why not for the ios version? Is exporting to Pages 09 format that much more complicated than exporting to .doc? Very, very frustrating. At this point, Pages for iOS is forcing me to use MS Word because it is more compatible with previous and current versions of Word than with Apple's own Pages 09.

Can we edit simultaneously in Pages for iCloud and Pages for OS X?

I know that it's possible for multiple users to edit a document in Pages for iCloud (beta). But what happens if one user is using Pages for iCloud, and another person is editing the same document in Pages for OS X? Will the changes be updated in real time? Is there a danger of creating two different documents, as sometimes happens in Dropbox?
I ask because Pages for Mac still offers more features and tools than Pages for iCloud. So some users may be able to work in the iCloud version, but at least one of wants to use the OS X version to make the final graphic tweaks and edits. Is this possible, or are we asking for trouble by using two different editions of Pages?

Well... it looks like you were right. While Pages for iCloud theoretically supports simultaneous editing, in actual practice it's very difficult. There's no way to add comments or chat (as Google Docs allows), so it's hard to discuss what each of us is doing. And certain UI elements work differently in the OS X vs. iCloud versions, so results can be unpredictable.
iWork for iCloud will only succeed when all versions of the iCloud apps (OS X, iOS and iCloud) are 100% compatible with each other. Fingers crossed.

Add iWeb pages to .mac main page

Hi all,
I've just created two new pages with iWeb; I've put a photo with a link in my .mac main homepage and it works fine; however, I don't know how to add those two pages at the top of the main homepage menu where all the names of my .mac pages appear one next to the other.
Is there a way to add the page title with its link?
Thanks,
Antonio

You probably need to make a new page in homepage and then edit its html so it is just the code to redirect to your iWeb.

Buying a new mac and syncing old ipad.

Here goes.
So I want to buy a new Mac, and sync by old iPad with it.
Normally when you do this you get a message saying by syncing this iPad you will erase all your data.
But I am using time machine to back up my Mac, so if when i get my new Mac and plug in my time capsule, will my itune libary be the same on the new mac?
And in turn when i plug in my old iPad with the new Mac will it just sync like normal without erasing all data and needing to start again?
Please help...
Kind Regards.

Yeah. Plug it in using a wire or do it wirelessly... The set up options has a "restore from Time Machine" option. It should be pain free. Might take you awhile, especially if you restore wirelessly. You should have everything restored: files, settings, etc. For me personally, I backup everything on my external hard drive and I just drag and drop everything manually instead of using the Time Machine user interface. Both way works and achieves the same end result. I don't recommend my way unless you are really familiar with Macs and knows where files are.

Synching Pages between Mac and Ipad 2

I use Pages to work on a document and then place in the File Sharing section of iTunes to copy the file to my iMac. However, if I then make additonal changes to the document on the iMac I cannot update the file in my iPad by copying over the original file in File Sharing. How do I synch a Pages document to the iPad2 from my Mac.

My Ipad IOS 7.0.4 pages 2.0.1

Hi Sarah,
Sounds like you need to update Pages, the latest version is 5.0.1.

Indent Lengths Between Pages for Mac and iOS

I've been using Pages on my iPad a lot for classes. During lectures, I type outlines in a blank document and quickly switch between headings and subheadings with the "indent increase" and "indent decrease" buttons in the toolbar (looking at the ruler, it seems like the default indent length is a little more than half an inch - maybe 1.5cm?).
The problem is that when I later open the document via iCloud in Pages on my iMac, the indent lengths become readjusted so that each indentation takes up 1.8 inches (so 3.6 inches for a double indent, 5.4 for a triple, etc.). Short of highlighting each line and manually changing the indent length in the inspector, I haven't found a way to fix this change. Further, if I make any other changes to the document in Mac Pages, that 1.8 inch indent length carries over to iOS Pages. When I then try to open the document in iOS, I get:
"This document may look different on your iOS device than on your Mac. Use Open Copy if you want to preserve the original." [Open Copy] [Open]
Not wanting a duplicate, I'll choose [Open], and I found I could quickly restore the 1.5cm length by selecting all text, going to list settings and selecting "None" (as opposed to "Bullet," "Image,' etc.). But the next time I try to open the document in Mac Pages, the cycle repeats.
Am I missing some obvious way of keeping these indents consistent across devices, or do I just need to deal with this reformatting each time?
(newest versions of desktop/mobile Pages are running on Mountain Lion and iOS 6)

Pages to .Mac home page?

Greets... am exploring pages... considering using it as a simple online showroom/catalog...
trying to find simple way to drag a created pages catalog over to a .mac account...

Sharon,
have you told your friends of the Acrobat Reader plugin? As I know you can download it for free from the Adobe website (if it isn't in the normal Acrobat Reader installation package).
In what format have you put the PDF on the server? Is it a pure "nameOfFile.pdf" in an anchor element like: <a href="nameOfFile.pdf">nameOfFile.pdf</a>? If yes, I see no problem for downloading (even if it is a Internet Explorer )
As I know, in Internet Explorer you can click with the right mouse button on a link and there is a menu item in the appearing contextual menu that means "download the link target" (it's not that title, but the meaning). That should work in every situation, it doesn't matter what kind of file you want to download.
This is all I can tell you by now.
Frank.

How can I compress my movie dvds on mac and load to ipad 2?

Help? Newbie iPad2 owner and trying to figure out how to get my DVD movies compressed (on my 2009 Mac desktop) to load onto my ipad2. Curious to know not only which programs I need or what to do, but also step by step (I'm sooo confused)
thank you!!

You'll need to get an application that makes your dvd's into avi files. Google that.
Once you have AVI files then get the app for VLC on ipad. It'll come up as an app that can handle storage in itunes. Then import your avi's and you'll now have your video on your ipad.

How to change a pdf's page size, margins and page orientation? Are there available tools to do this?

We are converting Lotus Notes documents to PDF by exporting (printing) them to PDF via a PDF writer but found some content are truncated or cropped. We have to manually re-print to pdf using a different page/paper settings in order to capture the content correctly. Are there any other methods or tools which can automate this step? Would it be possible to change the PDF properties to adjust the page size, etc?
Hope there are some useful tools available as there are thousands of documents that are having this issue. Thank you.

The page size options are limited, but are in the crop tool. If there are no tags or other markup, you can also print to a new PDF and adjust the size in the printer interface -- sometimes the simplest method, but not normally recommended. The rotation can be done in the document menu and then saved. The rotation that is typically on the toolbar are only for the current view and does not save with the PDF. Many of these you can use a batch process to resolve (in AA8 that is under the Advanced>Document Processing). The better method is to setup your Adobe PDF printer to create the correct page size and orientation in the future. You can setup to typically expand to fit, select a paper size, and have the settings set to auto-rotate. The later is based on the text that is found on the page. The margin elimination is also part of the crop tool. Hopefully this at least gives you some things to look at. Unfortunately, the tools get moved around with every version, so you may have to search for the tools.

Can you wipe a mac and still sync iPad without wiping

I plan on making a copy of the iTunes folder in the music folder, wiping the mac's hard drive, reinstall Mountain Lion, and copy the iTunes Library folder back. WIll i still be able to sync my iPad without wiping it? Has anyone tried this before?

I want an iPhone 3GS wrote:
even if i copy the itunes folder? . and i want to improve performance
If you are going to restore the OS and all data from your Time Machine backup then the iOS device will not see the Mac as a new machine. But if you do an erase and install of the OS then restore just the data, the iOS device will see the computer as a new one.
I agree with Allan that the "nuclear option" is not always the best option, but since you have Time Machine backups you should be fine. Just do one last backup before you do anything. Be sure and set up the user credentials for the new OS the same as you have now to make restoring your data easier.
