HT4910 Saving Pages on iCloud with Lion

I'm trying to save my Pages document on iCloud using Lion 10.7.5 but can't seem to find this:"..the Action menu (looks like a gear) at the top-right of the browser window, and then choose Upload Document from the menu." What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot use your iCloud storage to backup your Mac HD.
But I suspect what you are wanting to do is to use it for storage to sync documents from your Mac, so that you can access them on your iOS device. You can do this with iWork documents, providing you have the appropriate application on your iOS device.
In order to do this with other types of documents, you will need an app on your iOS device that can open these documents and that the developer has specifically enabled iCloud support, unfortunately there are not too many of them at this time..

  • How do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    how do you put safari web pages into icloud with the safari iCloud button?

    What that button does is sync your tabs between your devices. So if you have multiple macs with Mountain Lion and/or devices with iOS 6 (once it comes out this fall) you can pick up where you left off. For example, let's say I have apple.com, nytimes.com, and facebook.com open on my mac, but I need to run. Later, if I need to use another computer in my household, I can just restore the tabs that I was using before on this other mac.

  • Saving Pages document iCloud Mac at the same time?

    I recently bought Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. I like them a lot, but am running into some logistical issues. The biggest one is that I love saving to the Cloud - all my stuff is safe, especially since my harddrive has been replaced once and is already acting up again - but I also want my documents on my computer. Is there a way to double save - like, change a preference so that when I hit "Save" it automatically saves it to my Cloud and to my harddrive? I've tried creating a shortcut for File>Duplicate, but for some reason it's just not working. Duplicating and resaving every document I ever create/edit is going to get tedious quickly. Any help?
    Also, on a related note, I cannot access Pages documents on other computers as a Word document. Even on my computer, I try to download it with Word - which I have - and it doesn't work. One of the biggest draws of the cloud was that I would be able to access my documents anywhere, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for your help!

    You will only be able to save and read Pages documents from the cloud using Pages. Word will not open them from the Cloud.
    Hold down Option while clicking the File menu and scrolling to Save and you should see Save As... which will let you save the document in another location. You will have to repeat each time you save.
    Further questions would probably better be answered in the Pages forum.

  • Address Book Sync with Google Contacts across computers (instead of iCloud with Lion)?

    I am trying to get ready for the port to iCloud and i am going to do this while still on Snow Leopard per Roger Wilmut's fantastic documentation. It appear to me I will simply lose Bookmark Sync (until I move to Mountail Lion) which is a small(ish) price to pay to not have to deal with an upgrade at the moment.
    The question I am hoping to answer is if it will be possible to SYNC MY CONTACTS across my devices (MacBookPro, MacPro and iPhone) using the Sync with Google Contacts Option in Address Book Preferences.
    Does anyone know if checking this option will put these contacts on both of my Machines and on my iPhone?
    ALSO, does anyone know if it is possible to put the ADDRESS BOOK CONTACTS in one folder and the GOOGLE CONTACTS in another folder so they don't all get mixed up together?
    TIA

    I can't even get manual Google syncing to work with iCloud enabled. Without iCloud, everything works fine.

  • Can't re download pages to macbook with lion

    I recently had to replace the harddrive I installed a fresh copy of Lion and then went to the App Store to re install Pages and Numbers and got a message that they were unavailable as separate items and that they were avaioable in Mavericks; however Mavericks can't be installed on the Macbook.  How do I get a copy of these programs?  I have them on my Macbook Pro's , can I just move them or possibly us Migration Assistant?

    Go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and wait for them to get back to you.

  • HT4910 Saving Data on iCloud

    iCloud Users - forgive me but i feel like an idiot here.
    I want to use iCLoud to back up my MAC HD.  Makes sense, right ?  But reading through te Apple documentation, I cannot figure out how to do this.  Do I need to buy the iWorks suite ? (if so, why ?). 
    My interest is in documents and powerpoint presentations, and PDF articles I use and save for research.
    Thoughts ?
    And, again, forgive me if there is a perfectly obvious answer that I have somehow missed.
    Thanks,

  • ICloud with Numbers and Pages on Lion

    I have two computers: an old one with the latest Lion and a new one with the latest Mountain Lion.   I have Numbers09 and Pages09 on both computers, bought long ago on disk. Exactly the same copy, copied from old to new computer.   I don't remember when I got the last update, it was also long ago.  Point is since they did not come from the app store, they did get not automatic updates to keep up with the cloud.  Apple orphaned them long ago.
    Now, both Pages and Numbers on the new computer can access iCloud, save docs to the cloud and move docs in and out (although if the new iWorks - iCloud or iOS version touches them, I can no longer open the docs, but that's something else).
    On the other hand, Pages and Numbers on Lion cannot access iCloud. There is no iCloud tab like on Pages/Numbers on ML.  Cloud is on, and Docs and Data checked.  It also warns me the local version of cloud docs will be deleted when I uncheck the box.  Cloud on Lion works fine otherwise: bookmarks, contacts, calendar.
    My question is: Is this expected or not? If not, how to fix it.
    Thanks in advance

    Never mind, now I see quite  a few threads.  It seems Apple disabled ~/Libray/Mobile Documents on Lion...

  • Opening document in pages on ipad with icloud

    I get message saying "Open Document This document may look different on your iOS device than on your Mac.  Use Open Copy if you want to preserve the original."  Then has two options:  Open Copy or Open.  How should I proceed.  I thought I could just drag my document into the iCloud and then edit from either one of my computers or one of my iOS devices and the change would take place on all devices?  This seems to me that Im going to have duplicates taking up cloud space and one may be updated and the other not?  Am I correct?  Thank you for any help.  To me its clear as mud.  Oh yeah I'm using an iMac, MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.4 on each and an iPad 3

    The document is automatically saved to iCloud, but has no name. Pages save it automatically and call it "empty".
    If you create a new document again and save it, it is called "empty 1" and such will be in the next emty 2 ... etc.
    I can not rename the document and name it and call it what I want.

  • Imac/Macbook, Ipad : Icloud with pages?

    Hi everyone!
    I would like to know (before buy) : if i buy pages on my imac/macbook and then on my ipad (mini), will it be possible to use the Icloud ? I want to have my document on my ipad after my school for example.
    More precisely how can I use Icloud on the both platform ?
    So sorry for my english level.
    A desesperate french apple addict

    If you buy Pages for your Macs, you will be able to use iCloud with it if you are using OS X Mountain Lion on your Mac. If not, in order to upload your documents to iCloud, open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and select iWork. If you want more information about how you can set up iCloud, see > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
    Then, if you have your iPad updated to the latest version, you should be able to use iCloud without any problem

  • With icloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from camera roll. I run an older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. Can I transfer pics from i stream to camera roll to allow a non-icloud back up to my PPC? Precious photos are close to 30 day cut-off

    With i cloud set up on my 4GS I deleted photos from Camera Roll to make space knowing I would have them backed up on icloud via Photo Stream. I now find that my older PPC G5 with Lion which wont run icloud. I have an ipad3 too, which of course does. I want to copy photos from Photo Stream back to Camera Roll on the phone so that I can back up "old school" to iphoto on my ancient mac. The controls seem to suggest that as an option but when I select multiple photos in Photo Stream and select "Save to Camera Roll" the photos do not appear on Camera Roll as expected. I am running close to the 30 day limit and do not want to lose hundreds of precious photos (or have to email them to myself individually). Can the ipad3 help at all? Any ideas good people? Dan

    If only it were that easy Winston. I connect with a USB cable, iphoto opens and I can only see the photos in Camera Roll, not Photo Stream. There does not seem to be a way of aceessing other files in the phone from iphoto and, as in my initial message, I can not transfer the photos to Camera Roll on the phone. My iphone and ipad software is up to date, but my iphoto is '08 version 7.1.5 with my mac running 10.5.8 which is the best I can do on the PPC without messing everything up.  I dont have the dough for a new mac or I would have gone for that option...am I stuck?

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

  • I had duplicated contacts on my old iPhone.  Went with Lion and iCloud, and the duplicates were gone.  New iPhone yesterday and now all my contacts are duplicated again.  How do I resolve?

    When I first signed up with iCloud (and still had Mobile Me), my contacts all double or tripled, or more in my contact list.  When I went with Lion and fully integrated iCloud, that issue resolved itself.  I got a new iPhone yesterday, and when it was up and running, everything was fine.  This morning, I notice that my contacts are all duplicated again.  My personal contact is in my phone 10 times.  How do I resolve this?  My iTunes sync setting does not have me syning my contacts, it should just be in iCloud.  Thanks for any help.

  • On Pages 09, my word documents I've been saving it to iCloud, to access anywhere, but I would like to keep my docs organized in files on my finder as usual, and saving to iCloud, I lose my local one.How can I fix it and not desorganize my files?

    It's either in local folders, as it seem you had been doing, or in icloud.  If you go into the mac's Pages and view the icloud files, you can drag on onto another to create a folder.  But you can only have folder one level deep, so you can't organize your files/folders like you can on a mac, using nested folder several levels deep.
