ICloud Failing to Sync Documents (But not Data)

I use iCloud on my desktop Mac, my iPhone and my iPad. Every single feature of this iCloud three-way commingling is working perfectly as advertised, except one.
My bookmarks sync, my calendar syncs, my notepad notes sync, my Safari open tabs sync -- all lovely.
But Pages on my Mac cannot see iCloud documents (that is, documents created or edited on the iPhone or iPad versions of Pages). I can log into the iCloud website, navigate to the iWork section, and see my Pages documents there in the cloud. I can edit or create them seamlessly on either my iPhone or my iPad. No problem.
But my Mac is left out of the Pages party. It saves things to a place it believes to be iCloud (in the appropriate mobile documents directory in the library), but those documents are not accessible anywhere except from that same Mac. iWork doesn't see them, and Pages on my iOS devices doesn't see them.
The Mac is otherwise syncing all other iCloud services just fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled Pages (4.3, from the App Store), toggled and untoggled the checkbox for Documents & Data sync, restarted, zapped my PRAM, and even done a rain-dance. Still no sync for Pages documents to the desktop version of Pages.
Please help me troubleshoot this issue!
Any and all suggestions appreciated.
(By the bye, my OS is Mountain Lion 10.8.2 running on a MacPro5,1.)

I have gotten to the bottom of it and, as usual in such cases, the actual cause was trivial user error. I report in full here for the benefit of those who arrive at this thread via search.
My problem turned out to be a firewall conflict. I was so concerned with diagnosing some subtlety of iCloud that I forgot to be more methodical about the basics.
In my case, I had initially been using Pages from an iWork 09 DVD installation (from the office) but then switched to an AppStore purchased version of Pages (my own copy). Because these two identical applications lived in different places in my filesystem (the former stored at /Applications/iWork 09/Pages.app and the latter at /Applications/Pages.app) and the outbound firewall rules had been set up Little Snitch for the first instance of Pages specifically, the rules broke when Mountain Lion tried to apply them to the newer instance of Pages.
If anything it's kind of a Little Snitch bug. I guess it couldn't apply the rules to the new Pages (because the file path didn't match) but also couldn't ask me to make new rules since, when it checked, it already had an entry for Pages.
But, like I said, also a user bug, because more thorouglly checking the networking issues should've occured to me much earlier! Thanks for your help, those who chimed in.

    Has anyone found the answer to this problem?  I am experiencing the exact same issue today.  This is quite frustrating!  If anyone has a clue on how to fix this or how to prevent it from happening again please post a reply.
    I'd hate to lose all of my work over the past hour (I couldn't imagine of loosing a days worth of work like the original poster stated) but if there is no fix, I understand.  However, is there something that I could have done to cause this?  If so, I want to avoid doing it in the future.
    Thanks guys.

  • Why Win 7 64-bit pc says device added will sync momentarily, but no data has come from either my Win XPpro 32-bit pc nor either Android device (3 synced)?

    All 3 existing/currently-used devices (Win XP pro 32-bit laptop, and 2 Android phones) are on Firefox 30 (latest version) and sync just fine; NEW laptop (a Win 7 64-bit laptop, HP pro650) says added, "Will Sync Momentarily" but no data transferred... Not a single bookmark, nor my theme or other configuration(s).
    I realize, after finding hardware requirement, that 64-bit Win 7 allows Firefox to work fine and am using it right now (I downloaded v.30 Firefox as soon as I booted the brand new pc up today), it let me set up sync & everything, just never transferred any data...Almost impossibly time-consuming task to transfer the thousands of bookmarks & complete organization from my other laptop, and will not matter much if I cannot sync any new ones with it. I would hate to have to transfer everything into Chrome...
    Am I out of luck with this 64-bit unit to sync at all until Firefox supports it in the future?
    Same night...Later that evening:
    Well...Update Here: Tried Waterfox and it worked perfectly, got everything in from XP pro pc. SuperFast browsing too.
    Granted it is apparently a v.28, I think. Doesn't really matter to me. Now I'm going to try to import both Android bookmarks, etc. Will post my success or failure later.

    Hi D.Dao,
    In order to further investigate the issue on Firefox 30, could you please turn on logging:
    # Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
    # Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
    # Logs and error messages will be located here

    Thank you!

  • I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD3.  I can see see it...the icon is till there but when I tap it to open it, I get kicked out of pages.   Tried rebooting  and I can open other documents, but not this one.  Any ideas?

    I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD 3.  All of a sudden I can no longer open that document.   When I click on it, it throws me out of pages all together.  I can open other pages documents, but not that one.  It is very frustrating to be able to SEE the file, but not open it.
    I rebooted and I do have icloud back-up on but am not sure how to restore an older version.  I also made sure there are no updates for pages.   Until the IPAD I used a home PC which I still have but am trying to wean myself off of.  I wish now I had used MS Publisher on my PC for the newsletter even though I hate it.   
    Please don't tell me I have lost my Newsletter and 20 hours worth of work.  

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

  • "No connectivity with the server" error for one document but not the other, in the same document library

    We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server.  The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
    just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option.  If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem.  One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
    the same document library!  The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure.  She can read the older document, but not the new one.
    It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error.  We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
    created profile does not experience the error for these people.  Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears.  When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
    were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear.  We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy.  We are rebooting between
    logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
    The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
    2005 SP4.  SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
    We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries.  We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries.  We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
    It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files.  It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes.  One person experiencing
    the errors is a Site Collection Admin.  That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file.  They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
    file gave them an error.   In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
    We've tried lots of things including:
    Deleting IE cache
    Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
    Running IE without add-ons
    Upgrading and Downgrading IE
    Uninstalling and re-installing IE
    Reinstalling our SSL certs
    Repairing Office
    Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool 
    Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
    Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
    Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
    Toggling the location of checked out files
    Adding the site in the trusted sites list
    Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
    Making sure the WebClient service is started
    Rebooting the machine (lol :)
    This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing.  There aren't
    "check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
    We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next.  Thanks!
    -Richard.
    PS  I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?

    It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes.  It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error.  I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
    various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
    I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done.  I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
    but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster.  Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
    to get back to work.  Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore.  The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
    in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
    When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error.  I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error.  Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem. 
    I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
    So the process went as follows: 
    Reboot and log into the machine as another user
    Delete the profile and associated registry key
    Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
    Reboot and log in as the other user
    xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
    Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
    I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring.  That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
    before which didn't fix the issue. 
    So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
    What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
    One way to do this was to:
    Reboot and log in as another user
    Rename the c:\users profile folder
    Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
    Reboot and log in as the other user
    Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
    Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
    Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
    Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
    We've tried this on a couple machines and it works.  I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
    We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
    We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
    Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
    Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
    Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
    Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
    Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
    I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it.

  • HT204053 How does my spouse get the benefits of using my iCloud for contacts and calanders but not messages, etc?

    How does my spouse get the benefits of using my iCloud for contacts and calanders but not messages, etc?

    iCloud is designed for personal use and not for managing multiple access.  If you gives your password to someone else, this person can benefit everything including access to purchase with your account, email, etc.
    You should rather consider having each one an iCloud account and then, create and share a calendar.  As for contact, you can send them to your spouse to be save in her account but they cannot be shared nor synced.

    Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a  program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

    My Contact from ICloud imports only the name but not every thing else if I want to import it to Contact on my Mac. But that only happens with my own card.
    Before, my V-Card in Contacts on my Mac was ok, but now it disappeared. When I try to import it from ICloud only my name appears.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks

    The backup of your iPod Touch would include your camera roll photos.  Restoring the backup to another iPod Touch or iPhone would recover them.  Photos will not be restored by restoring the backup to an iPad.
    Note: Apple deletes iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so be sure to do this before then.

  • GR slip for PO created in Material document but not printed or in spool

    Hello Inventory Management Gurus,
    I have a problem printing GR slip onto the printer.
    I am able to create the output and can see in the material document but not in the spool or printer.
    I configured GR slip printing in OMJ4, created condition record in MN21 configured in NACE etc., for the output type.
    What is preventing from printing or appearing in the spool if it created the output in material document?
    I have the setting "print immediately" enabled and "release after output" unchecked in OMJ4.
    What is missing?
    Please help.
    George

    Hi
    Output for GR is Printed through T-code 'MB90".
    Note - in GRN  Individual /Collective Slip and Print indicator should be selected.
    Enter the GRN No,Select the Output type and Execute.

    I have been trying to create a multicam clip from two camera's. They sync properly when using the sync feature but not when I use the multicam feature does anyone know what I may be doing wrong?

    Probably best if you could post screen shots of the Inspecror window in extended view with a couple of the clips you using for the 2 angles.
    If you have audio from both cameras and have identified them separately, the sync is usually pretty reliable.

    iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.

  • ICloud can't sync documents&data

    Yesterday I reinstall iOS7 without loading old backup.
    when login iCloud, I have a problem like them https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5321569?start=0&tstart=0
    and i solved the problem using "find my friends"
    today i found that i can't sync documents & data... both on my iPhone and Mac
    can't upload iWork documents, can't download & upload Day One
    it show 4.84GB free of my 5GB storage. But i can't found data on the "Manage Storage"
    have called apple support , still waiting for reply...
    do you have same problem?

    Not as part of my immediate issue, but (as I did explain above) 1) this thread deals with rules/sigs vanishing, and 2) that seems to happen a lot, to people who sync AND people who don't, 3) it seems that this problem is sometimes attributed to iCloud syncing when that is not the problem and 4) I was hoping there might be some related Mail issue (besides just iCloud) that *might* help explain things. I aslo said I thought it was a long shot, but....any port in a storm. No offense intended, but it seems that my long shot didn't turn up any useful info.
    That said, since i DO have a heckuva lot of rules set up, and having them reside eslewhere might be useful. Is there a way to move rules already in existence to iCloud? If I make changes locally, will they get picked up by iCloud or overwriten? If not, then iCloud won't help me at present.....

  • ICloud available for Windows Vista, but not Snow Leopard???

    I have Multipal Macs with the Core Duo chipset that can not run LION and no $$$$ to upgrade hardware right now. 
    WHY does Windows VISTA get iCloud suport but I who can't upgrade to LION do not?
    I understand leaving out Leaopard, but SNOW too?

    With the removal of Rosetta in Lion and the requirement for Lion in order to use iCloud Macs are no longer an option for poeple that need to be able to run older applications.
    Many places bought Macs because they could run just about anything, Windows, Linux, PPC software, even Classic applications via Sheepshaver.
    The big issue is the loss of being able to run PPC applications. Freehand, Pagemaker, Framemaker, Quicken to name just a few applications that will never be ported. People and businesses have huge amounts of documents in these formats. It's not stuff that is used regularly but it is files that need to be accessed and sometimes modified.
    All these applications can run on a modern Windows machine as can iCloud but not on a Mac running Lion.
    While I'm complaining... I setup a bunch of Macs, iOS devices and some PCs all on iCloud today. The loss of email account syncing meant I had to spend hours setting up email on each machine ( each device had just under a dozen accounts on it)  instead of just one machine and having it propagate to all the other devices. Going to be real fun trying to keep email rules in sync on all the Macs.

  • Hard drive failed - have music files but not library.itl file

    So here's the situation. The hard drive on my husband's laptop recently failed. It is now fixed, but his data is lost. Luckily, we had moved his music files to an external drive. It appears that we only moved the music files and not the library.itl file. We have a backup from November of the library.itl file.
    1. His ipod is fine. He wants to be able to pull the playlist info from his ipod to restore the info on the library.itl file. Is that possible?
    2. If that is not possible, what are the ramifications of restoring the library.itl file from November? Will he "lose" the music that was added since then?

    1. Not with itunes, sadly. It will try to wipe the ipod since it is a 'new 'library.
    2. Yes, he'll lose everything added since November.
