I cant open files stored in iCloud in iWork

I am using the latest version of iWork on my iMac and I can't open any files that are stored in iCloud any time I try to open a document stored in iCloud in an iWork app I get a dialog box that says 'The file "xxx.pages" couldn't be opened.' It does not mater which iWork application I am trying to use I get a version of that dialog. I can still access these files using the iCloud apps on the web or the iOS apps on my iPhone or iPad.
I was able to access these files at the beginning of January 2014 but sometime this month they stopped opening on the iMac and the latest updates to iWork did not help. I have reported this in feed back to Apple.
Any ideas?

As a work-around:
In the "Pages -> Open ..." dialog, drag the document out of the iCloud, and onto your desktop.
Once I did that, I could open and edit documents that I could not open when stored in the iCloud. After the edits were complete, I could drag the document back to the iCloud and could open/edit it from my iPhone, but again not from the iMac until it was dragged back to the desktop.
This only applies some of my documents. Some simple "test" documents, open fine when they are stored on the iCloud. My more complex documents, containing mathematical symbols and other advanced formatting, need to be dragged to the desktop.
Hope that helps.

What is the best way to keep my personal files stored in iCloud separate from my work-related files?

What is the best way to keep my personal files stored in iCloud separate from my work-related files? It seems that I'm not allowed to link my iPad mini and my work iMac using two different accounts, so I'm wondering how to make my single personal account work for both, while keeping personal vs work files reasonably separated.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Is it possible for you to upgrade your account to iCloud Drive? That would mean, all Macs upgraded to Yosemite, and all mobile devices to iOS8?
See: iCloud Drive FAQ and iCloud: About using iWork for iOS and iCloud
In iCloud Drive you could create two separate custom folders, one for work documents and one for private documents and organize your documents there. Don't use the app specific folders (Keynote, Pages, Numbers, ...) , because you can only create one level of folders inside these folders.

How to view all files stored in iCloud

How do I view all my files stored on iCloud?
I purchased additional iCloud memory space , backed up my iPhone then deleted videos from my iPhone to free up space.
Now I would like to retrieve a home video. Where/how do I see what's saved in my iCloud account?

You can't use iCloud to free up space on your phone like that. Videos are only stored in the iCloud backup, and can only be accessed by restoring the backup to your phone. However, if you delete the videos from your phone and continue to back up, the backup containing the deleted videos will be overwritten by one that doesn't and they will be lost. Hopefully haven't backed up your phone since you deleted these videos. If not, restore the backup to your phone to recover them.
In the future, import your camera roll photos and videos to you computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Then you can delete them from your phone and sync them back later if you ever want to.

Read pdf files stored in icloud drive from ios8

Ok. So how do I Access and read my PDF files stored in icloud drive from my ipad?
I´ve read that there´s no icloud drive App like dropbox and that it has to be done from a third party App. (strange enough), but I can´t seem to find a third party App that connects to icloud drive yet.
Thanks.

The Apple website specifically states "Because with iCloud Drive, you can safely store all your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images and any other kind of document in iCloud and access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC.".
Now, howe do I "store my PDF" and "access them from my iPhone"?

How do I open pdf files stored in iCloud from iMac preview app on my iPad

I save a PDF file to iCloud using Preview on my iMac or MacBook Pro. What app opens this on my iPad? Numbers files I open w numbers, pages with pages, but what on the iPad opens Preview app pdf files that are stored in iCloud?

I don't see an icloud connection in ibooks, so how do I get a pdf file from icloud into ibooks

Are files stored in icloud backed up by Apple?

Three related questions.
I've started storing some Pages and Numbers files in my iCloud account so I can access them on my iPad with the iOS versions of those two applications.
I use Time Machine on my Mac for backup, but if I have my only copy of a file saved on iCloud I want to known that Apple is backing up the files stored there. (1) Do they? Is this documented somewhere?
(2) Or is there a cached copy of the files kept on Mac OS X that is backed up by Time Machine?
(3) Maybe both occur?

Here's what I have observed on my 10.8.3 system regards my questions about storing documents in iCloud from my Mac.
1. Talked to Apple Support and they told me that Apple does not backup iCloud documents. Also said documents are not encrypted in iCloud.
2. I have found that there is a local cache of application associated documents kept in OS X on my Mac in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/. Each application has a folder named like com~apple~<application name>; so Numbers documents are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents.
The ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ is backed up by Time Machine. So if Apple is indeed not backing up iCloud documents, the cached copy on my Mac and the Time Machine backup and my Crashplan cloud backup give me redundancy.
3. If I turn off Wi-Fi on my Mac and open Numbers I can open the files I put in iCloud and make changes. When I reestablish Wi-Fi networking the changed file gets synced with iCloud. So that works pretty much like Dropbox does.
I had some issues with one Numbers document not opening on my iPad (iOS 6). I think there is some data in it that is the problem in the file as all my other larger and smaller Numbers documents open just fine on the iPad. All were either created on the Mac or were converted from Excel using Numbers on the Mac.
User documentation about iCloud operations is scant. I'll see what is available to Developers.

Open videos stored in iCloud drive

I have some exercises videos stored in my iCloud drive folder. How do I open those on my iPhone??

Hi Dcneuro,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have videos stored in iCloud drive and would like to access those on your iPhone. To access those videos, they would need to be synced to your iPhone. You are not able to access this content from iCloud drive on an iOS device. For more information, please review the attached article.
iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
How do I access all my files in iCloud Drive?
You can access your files in iCloud Drive any of these ways:
Using any supported web browser, you can go to iCloud Drive or iWork for iCloud beta at iCloud.com. In iWork for iCloud beta, you can find your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files.
On your Mac with OS X Yosemite, you can go to iCloud Drive in Finder.
On your PC with Windows 7 or later and iCloud for Windows, you can go to iCloud Drive in File Explorer.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 8, you can access your files from Apple apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, or any apps that support iCloud Drive.
Best regards,
Joe

Pages can´t open files saved in iCloud

I can´t open any file save to iCloud
I tried a workaraound:
I couldn´t open a file save to iCloud from my iPad.
I opened it from icloud.com and downloaded it to my iMac.
Opened the downloaded file, and everything semed ok.
I then closed the dokument and opened the file on my ipad again. Made som editing before I closed the dokument.
Then I tried to open it again in Pages on my iMac, but couldent open it.
Translated: Couldn´t open the file ".... ..."
I also tried to open a file saved to icloud (without opening it on other machines and devises). Pages couldn´t open those files either...
Can sombody help me?

Possibly you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

When downloading, why do I get a message saying "Safari cant open file because the file has moved since it was downloaded?" I just attempted to download the file from a website. Thanks.

When downloading from a website, I get a message that says, "Safari cant open th file--- because the file has been moved since you downloaded it. How do I correct this problem. It wont let me open attachments from yahoo email either. Thanks.

EDIT:
After posting I see this question has the tag of "windows". I don't know if this applies to the Windows version or not.
The only time I see this message is if I download something, trash it, AND empty the trash. If I don't empty the trash, it finds it there. It will find it wherever I move it to, unless it is was in the trash and emptied.
Using Finder, is the downloaded file in your Downloads folder?
Maybe if you go to Safari/Preferences/General and change the location for downloads to something else then change it back to Downloads it might correct it.

Cant open files into PS CC

I have Adobe Bridge CC as well as Photoshop CC and Windows 8
Every since I did the switch i cant open my files into CC.
I,ve gone to preferences and tried to change file type extensions but all i get is an error message that says Windows cannot find C:\program files\adobe\adobe photoshop CS5.1(64bit)photoshop.exe. make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again.
This happens whether i try and double click or when i click on open with.
I havent had PS5 for a long long time so not sure why this happening.
Prior to this i had CE6 and everything worked beautifully,
How can i get Bridge to open my documents in the correct location?

What JJMack says, with the additional remark that it's not unusual for me to see the scratch file exceed 200 GB. I also use Macs, but I don't go beyond Lion 10.7.5.
Here's some boilerplate text I use in this respect:
The rule of thumb I follow to figure out scratch space says to figure on 50 to 100 times the size of your largest file ever multiplied by the number of files you have open. I have seen the scratch file exceed 800 GB once, an admittedly rare occurrence, but it often exceeds 200 GB when stitching large panoramas and the like.
As an example—and stressing that I'm aware that others have even more scratch space than I do—I keep two dedicated, physically separate hard drives as my primary and secondary Photoshop scratch disks and a lot of GB free on my boot drive for the OS. I also have 16 GB of RAM installed.
Additionally, if you only have a single HD, i.e. your boot drive, you'd need it to be large enough to accommodate both the swap files of the OS as well as Photoshop's scratch.

IPod Shuffle Help - Cant open files on ipod (blank screen)

I'm sure it's already been covered here, but I couldn't find anything that helped.
I have a iPod shuffle, and iTunes recognises it but wants to re-format it (not my biggest problem), and Windows only partially recognises it.
In My Computer it is listed as an iPod (E:), but when i open it, which it does, it displays a blank screen. It doesn't recognise any files in it AT ALL. But recognises how much free space i still have on my ipod. I can open my ipod files (Songs) on friends and school computers, just not mine.
It just seems that i'm missing a file of some sort, which is able to read the files on my ipod shuffle, but i just don't no what it could be.
I have tried every available solution, reinstalling iTunes/iPod, with no luck. I also just added service pack 2 for my windows xp pro and thought that would have solved my problem.
Any suggestions?
