I have iWorks on my iMac and Macbook, can I transfer documents using iCloud?

Do you need to purchase an iCloud iWords (pages, numbers, keynote) to use iCloud to transfer data between devices?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To use iWork with the iWork section of iCloud.com you need the mobile versions of the iWork apps installed on your iOS devices and any documents uploaded from a mac need to be opened on an iOS device before they can be downloaded again on a mac.
If you want to upload documents that aren't for use with iOS devices this User Tip might be of interest.

  • I have a year old iMac and Macbook, both on 10.7.3.  Every time the iMac goes to sleep I lose wi-fi.  No problem with the Macbook and iPad.  A lot of people seem to have the same problem.  What's the solution?

    I have a year-old iMac and Macbook, both on 10.7.3.  Every time the iMac goes to sleep I lose wi-fi from  Airport Express.  No problem with the Macbook or my iPad.  It seems a lot Mac users are having the same problem.  Is there a solution?  Does Apple have a solution?

    Sometimes there are problems.
    Somethings to try but probably won't help....
    1. Repair Disk Permissions
    2. Startup in Safe mode by holding down the "Shift" key....
    3. Reset the P Ram by holding down the "Command/Option/P/R" keys at the same time...
    The above are standard items to do on any Mac from time to time.
    I repair permissions at least once a month....
    The other 2 periodically as they do straighten things out when they get out of whack....
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • I have an iPhone in my name and my wife has an iPad in her name. We have just ordered an iMac and wondered which account we should use to get the best out of all the devices

    I have an iPhone in my name and my wife has an iPad in her name. We have just ordered an iMac and wondered which account we should use to get the best out of all the devices? Can we use both accounts in iCloud?

    Yes you can.  However, it is better to use one person's account most of the time for purchases in the Mac App Store and iTunes since you can share purchases, such as songs, among various devices using the SAME account.  You Cannot share purchases among different accounts, though.   So make one of your accounts the main "purchasing" account so you can share purchases.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

    So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

    A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook.  You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices.  iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
    Two major benefits:
    1.  From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
    2.  You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
    Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match,  Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

  • After working correctly before Firefox now says that I don't have the propper permission to have the automatic upgrade process. New iMac and MacBook Pro both afected. Using Snow Leopard

    After working correctly since I started using the iMac Firefox now say that I do not have the privileges to have it auto update the Firefox. I don't think I changed anything.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == Since last update

    Well, running on a 2006 model.  I did not have a startup disc.  Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006.  Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set.  And, since then I think I popped it up to lion. 
    All I have on a disc is snow leopard.  And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive.  I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now.  We'll see what they tell me .  I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
    Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff.  So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc.  we'll see if they can recover.  If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system.  Just not sure at this point.

  • IMac and Macbook can't see each other via Airp

    Except sometimes.
    Using Leopard on both new machines, I can share Internet connections and printers fine. The problem is in trying to mount volumes or share files.
    I create a network on the iMac, connect to it on the Macbook, and use the appropriate password on both machines. I've set file sharing preferences perfectly and confirmed that at the store.
    Sometimes, from the Go menu I can find one machine from the other. Sometimes I can't. When I find them, file sharing and accessing work fine--although for some reason, the volumes do not mount on my desktop! I have to use the Go Network menu item.
    But other times they just don't see each other. I only get this to work by REPEATEDLY logging out of networks, turning Airport on and off, creating new network names, and so forth.
    The worst results come from creating a familiar network with a name and password I've used before. The best results come from creating a brand new network, new name and pswd. And creating the using 128-bit WEP is the worst, but I think that sometimes that works, too.
    My question is, am I doing something wrong, or is this another Leopard/Airport bug?
    Also, if I can access the other computer in Go Network, how come the volume doesn't mount on my desktop??
    Thanks.

    Don't know if this will help - but if you're using an Extreme base station go to the Airport Utility and look at the list of DHCP Clients. I had the same problem only I had an iMac and a Macbook running OS 10.4.11. Turns out that my printer and my iMac were sharing the same IP address. When I assigned a permanent address to the printer (out of the normal distribution range used for the other computers) the problems all went away. So, for instance, if the router was assigning IP addresses ending in 10.0.1.199, 198, 197, etc., and the primary computer ended witih 200, I named the printer 10.0.1.201
    Hope that helps.

    If you reloaded everything to your laptop from your back ups, you shouldn't have a problem.

  • How many iMac and Macbook can I have on one Apple ID.

    By profession I am an Software Developer recently I joined a small company and it came with bunch of other task and duties.
    One is upgrading all the computers in the company to the latest 10.8 Mountain Lion version.
    Now I know I need an Apple ID to buy the upgrade online but my question is that I have to create like 21 apple ID for the 21 computers or can i create one and use the same one on all computers to buy the 21 copies of Mountain Lion.
    Because if I need to create 21 one ids I will need 21 email ids too.
    Please advice the best possible solution, Thanks in Advance.

    You need to contact Apple volume licensing for businesses, find it in the link that I'm giving to you. The licensed copy end user license agreement for the Mac App Store is for consumers only, you should not use them for business computers.

  • My iMac and MacBook can't see each other on the same wifi network

    I've got a 2010 MacBook running Snow Leopard and a late 2009 iMac running Lion. They are connected wirelessly to a Belkin N+ router and can ping one another by IP. They can also share a mouse using Synergy by IP. They can't resolve one another's hostnames (<compname>.local).
    Unfortunately, they don't show up in each other's local network in Finder. They have recognized each other twice in the few days I've had this set up but those times were directly after a reboot of both machines and even then, only one machine could see the other. One time it was iMac -> MacBook, the other it was MacBook -> iMac.

    More information: After restarting my router and upgrading the firmware, the my MacBook was able to see my iMac (ping it directly immediately) and it showed up in the list of Shared devices.
    My iMac was able to ping the MacBook eventually (after 22 timeouts, it eventually got a few high round-trip pings that lowered shortly thereafter), but it is still unable to see the MacBook in the Shared devices list.
    I was, however, able to mount it with Finder > Connect to Server > afp://192.168.2.3. This is useful progress, but it's not ideal because I use some software like "teleport" that still doesn't recognize my MacBook is a shared Mac. The teleport software on my MacBook does recognize the iMac as a shared Mac.
    Here's the output for my attempted ping from the iMac to the MacBook:
    ping 192.168.2.3

  • I installed iWork in my old 2007 macbook can i transfer it to my new 2011 mac pro?

    my old mac has a broken screen so i cant see what im doing

    Use the install disks or redownload it from the Mac App Store if you originally got it from there. If you need to copy files off the MacBook, use FireWire Target Disk mode if possible.

  • Can I upload CS6 standard student and teacher version onto both my iMac AND Macbook??

    I bought the disk for the CS6 standard student and teacher version a few years ago (before it was controlled through creative cloud)
    I have it installed on my iMac but I want to get a Macbook now so I can do work on the go
    I want to know if I will be able to install my CS6 onto this new Macbook and then have it on both iMac and Macbook
    I still have the disk and the code but am I allowed to have it uploaded onto more than one cumputer?
    It is all for personal use but I'd like to have a definite answer before I invest in a Macbook before I realise I have to buy Adobe again
    Please someone get back soon! Thanks
    Megan

    As far as I know, the old license is similar to the new license... which allows 2 activations Licenses and terms of use | Adobe

  • WinXP, iMac and MacBook network

    Hello.
    I am making home network between iMac, macbook (OS X 10.5) and WinXP(pro) PC.
    PC is wired to router.
    iMac and MacBook are connected to the same router via Air-Port.
    So the problem is: iMac can browse files on PC, macs can browse files in each others folders, PC can browse files on iMac.
    But I can't make macbook and PC to connect to each other. But they cam ping-pong by their IPs.
    I googled a lot and read that forum but couldn't find any suggestions.
    Thanks for help.
    Andrej.

    There is some additional info.
    iMac and MacBook can use printer connected to the PC.
    Also i can connect to MacBook through SSH: macbookuser@macbookip. That is rather strange.

  • I own an iMac and a Macbook Air and I have iWorks on my iMac. Can I copy it to my Air so that I can use it while working out-of-town? It would not be used on both computers simultaneously.

    I own an iMac and a Macbook Air and I have iWorks on my iMac. Can I copy it to my Air so that I can use it while working out-of-town? It would not be used on both computers simultaneously.

    It depends on how you bought iWork (no 's').
    If you bought a single-user retail box or license from the trial, no, you cannot legally install it on another Mac.
    If you bought a family pack retail box or licesnce, you can install on up to five Macs in your household.
    If you bought it from the Mac App Store, you can install the apps on as many Macs that you have by opening the Mac App Store & clicking on Purchases. Enter your Apple ID & click install.
