ICloud in Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.

You can step up iCloud two ways
Option 1 (First time user)
After installing Pages, Keynote, or Numbers when you first open the application you can choose the option to use iCloud.
Option 2 (Those who have opened the application multiple times)
Go to Settings
Scroll to the bottom of the list
Select the application (ie. Pages, Keynote, Numbers)
Turn the iCloud Option on
Go back to the desired application (Pages, Keynote, Numbers)
Make sure that the documents have synced or are in the process of syncing
To to make sure that the documents have properly synced with iCloud go to www.icloud.com
Login with your Apple ID
Select the "iWork" tab
You documents should be displayed there
You can view the documents from different applications by selecting the application at the top.

I am having the same problem!   I updated to iOS 8 on my iPad and iPhone. Then made sure all the iCould settings are correct under settings, including making sure iCloud Drive is on. Then on both of my iOS 8 device I went to log into the Web based iCloud page, signed in and all I get is this old looking interface that thinks I am back in 2011 signing up for iCloud for the very first time. If you click on this page you are taken to the old iCloud instruction web page and told how to sign up for it.
Now on my Mac desktop (in Mountain Lion) I can get to the Webpage for iCloud sign in and it logs in properly and shows me the drive and all is fine. It also works on my Windows RT Surface 2 in the browser. But on any of my iOS 8 Devices it is NOT WORKING. In fact it is not working anywhere; no drive App on the splash screen anywhere and even in Apps like Pages (that have been updated) it is not working. All I get is the old filing system. Even though it is working on the Web; well somewhat.
This is a big fail! And please, people are not stupid, most of us know how to make sure it is on and that we are using the right devices. In fact when I first installed it, my device walked me through the steps very well. I could have done it with one finger and blind and it would still have been set up right. This is what Apple is good at. But for a lot of us iCloud Drive is not working.

    Do you have both the OS X and iOS versions of each of them?

  • I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings.

    I'm experiencing major synchronisation issues on ICloud, especially for documents created on my Mac in pages, keynote and numbers. Contacts and agenda items work fine. I checked all my account settings. But while I can upload documents from my MAC onto ICloud, they don't show on my IOS devices (whereas previously this worked without issues).

    On this Mac I did move all the visible iCloud documents out of iCloud, into another folder, then disabled syncing, exactly as you suggested.  But there were, apparently, documents remaining in my Mac's local iCloud store, "~/Library/Mobile Documents/" that I could not see (so could not remove). The Pages file "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" was one such document.
    The act of disabling iCloud's document sync'ing, in System Prefs, just renames the local "iCloud" store to "~/Library/Mobile Documents/<appleid#>/" effectively shielding the it from the sync'ing mechanism.  Looking at this renamed folder (the screenshot above) revealed that "CSU-PD-UN1.pages" (and other files) had not been removed; it would be reasonable to assume that one, or more, of these "undeletable" files were related to my original problem, and when I re-enabled doc sync'ing, those bad files would just clog up the works again.
    So I deleted them with the Finder on both Macs (the other Mac had bad files too, but different ones), then re-enabling sync'ing on the two Macs and doc sync'ing between the Macs (and iCloud.com) appears to now work as intended.
    Sadly, iOS devices (iPhone and two iPad) now do not sync at all.  Newly created documents do not migrate to any other devices, and documents on other devices do to migrate to the iOS devices.
    Your suggestions have certainly done some good, but something is now keeping my iOS devices out of the the iCloud doc sync'ing process.  I suspect it's a similar problem as the Macs had ("invisible" files gumming up the works), so I'm going to apply some nasty tricks to explore the iOS devices file system and see if I can find them, and delete them by brue force.

  • I just updated to OSX and keep getting notifications to download new versions of Pages, Keynote and Numbers, would these be free?

    I just updated to OSX and keep getting notifications to download new versions of Pages, Keynote and Numbers, would these be free?

    Normally, that would be excellent advice. But in this case it is not thought to be necessary.
    The new copies will be installed "loose" in the Applications folder. The originals are kept in the iWork folder in the Applications folder. If you do not like the new versions, they can be discarded and the original versions will be used again.
    The new versions have many new  iCloud features, but some users have complained that key features they require are missing. It is thought that Apple will add them over time.

    Normally you have to get these from the App store.  Open the App Store application in your Applications folder. Have a look at the category Apple Apps.

  • My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, these apps were also deleted I order to be updated. Now I cannot get the free version. Help?

    My ipad air was bought and activated AFTER September 1st (activated December 25th) and I downloaded pages, keynote and numbers. I then changed my Apple ID as the password no longer worked, These apps had to be deleted as I needed to update them. Now I cannot get the free version on my ipad. I have searched the internet to see if there is a solution, and I found a few but unfortunately none have worked. I desperately need these apps as my iPad is used for school. Is this an issue I should take up with the apple support centre or something? Please help! Thanks

  • Can I view, edit and save microsoft documents such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint using iWork applications such as Pages, Keynote and Numbers on my iPad Mini (16GB Wi-Fi)? If Yes, then can I directly load these files to my iPad mini using iTunes?

    Can I view, edit and save microsoft documents such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint using iWork applications such as Pages, Keynote and Numbers on my iPad Mini (16GB Wi-Fi)? If Yes, then can I directly load these files to my iPad mini using iTunes? Also, once I finish working on these documents, can I download these back to my Computer.

    Sorry, forgot to say:

  • IWork export to Office error "The file format is invalid" in pages, keynote and numbers.

    I am running iWork 09 (latest versions in all cases)*. When I try to export files from all three of the applications Pages, Keynote and Numbers into the relevant Office formats, I get the error "The file format is invalid." It works fine with PDF or RTF export.
    I am able to open the same files in the iPad versions of thess iWork apps, and then export them. While this workaround will do for now, I'd like to be able to just export correctly.
    Anyone have any suggestions on what might be wrong?
    Thanks,

    * Note that I needed to manually remove iWorks as the For_iWork:iWork '09:iWork9Update5.dmg.zip file wouldn't work on the latest version of iWorks. This involved deleting the iWork folders in the Applications and Library directories.

  • Why Pages, keynotes, and Numbers are not free? I bought my mac Oct 14, 2013

    Why Pages, keynotes, and Numbers are not free? I bought my Mac at Oct 14, 2013. With the new OS X Mavericks relaeaed, Apple said that these three Apps are free to new buyers, I bought Macbook Air last week. Why I didn't see these three Apps free after I logged in the Mac App Store?
    Please, Help!

    ***For those that purchased iWork 09 not on the app store but as a retail disk copy you can get the update for iWork even though it may show $19.99 for all the apps:
    You can reupdate to iWork 9.3 by going here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563
    then after it is updated close the app store if opened then open it again and sign out then sign in and then all the iwork 2013 apps should show as update rather than $19.99 cost each. This worked for me. I bought iwork '09 on disk but it showed 19.99 each after I upgraded to Mavericks so  followed the above steps and it worked. I am now updating all my iWork suite I bought on disk, NOT on the Mac app store and now I have a Mac app store set!
    Apple sure has a problem that needs to be fixed otherwise iWork will eventually be free for everyone...
    Someone at Apple forgot all of us old retail people before the Mac App store existed!

  • I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone

    I bought "Pages" "Keynote" and "Numbers" Apps for my iPad and iPhone and now I have a new iMac but the Apps didn't install? I thought when you bought an App that is on one device it would be available on all other devices? The App store is now wanting me to pay for the Apps again? Is this right? Do I have to buy another  version of these Apps for the iMac?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    That is determined by what type of disk that it is. It may be a disk that only allows you to install Windows on your Dell computer and would not allow Windows to be installed on a Boot Camp partitition or as a virtual machine in an app such as VirtualBox on your Mac. If that is the case, you would need to purchase a retail Windows install disk.

  • I have reset may iPad and still can't download pages keynotes and numbers for free

    Need assistance loading my iPad with the free version of pages keynotes and numbers. I was told if I reset my iPad I would be able to install them for free during the setup process

    You should ask this in the iOS discussion, this is the Mac discussion:  iOS Keynote

  • Saving Pages, Keynote and Numbers files so they're compatible to open on PC

    How do I save files from pages, keynote and numbers so I can open them on a PC?

    I would have to think that most PC's are running Office, so that would be a safe bet.
    If you really want anyone to be able to open and read, PlainText or pdf would be even better. PDF for reading and plaintext if you want them to be able to edit.

  • I run Maverick and need to uninstall my pages, keynote and numbers and reinstall them. Are they free on Maverick?

    My Mac Mini was set up by someone else who used his login to install Pages, Keynote and Numbers. Now I cannot update these.
    I need to uninstall these and reinstall them with my login. Are these apps free for Maverick users?

    They are not free unless you purchased them in the past on the App Store. However, if the following applies then you can get them free:
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.
    iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.

  • Why do mac that were purchased on or after october 1st qualify for getting pages, keynote and numbers?

    I've got a mac and i upgraded to mavericks, hoping i would get pages, keynote and numbers but then i checked on the apple website and it said only people who bought a mac on or after the 1st were eligible. Why can't i get it for free?

    Because that wasn't the deal when you purchased yours. Apple will often provide compensation for those that buy a product (hardware) within a month of a large policy change such as that.
