ICloud unavailable for iWorks apps

The options to save to~open from iCloud are unavailable for iWorks apps on my MacBook (OS X 10.7.5, 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM). Keynote, Pages and Numbers are all up-to-date, and all iCloud options are turned ON in System Preferences. I tried turning iCloud off, restarting, and turning iCloud on again ~ but it did nothing for iWorks apps. What am I missing?

Direct saving is onlly available in Mountain Lion. You have to open the iCloud website to the page for iWork, and drag the documents from the Finder to the web page.
For more information, go to http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm9d23dae8 and expand 'From a Mac with OS X v10.7.5 installed or a Windows computer' and 'Drag a document from a Mac or Windows computer to icloud.com'.

Update unavailable for this app for app not installed

I have a machine on which I keep seeing Angry Bird update
I never installed it. Or if someone in my family installed it without my knowledge then it is a different case altogether.
But at the moment it is not installed but I keep getting update of that. And when I click update it says Update Unavailable for this app
How can I remove this Update Message altogether from my App Store

Click here and ask Apple for assistance.

Is there an issue with iCloud syncing on iWork apps?

I thought everything was ok with iCloud syncing but I seem to now have issues.
I created a spreadsheet under Pages on my iPad (3rd Gen) and, after pressing the 'spreadsheet' button to show thumbnails of all docs being worked on, I'm seeing a small arrow pointing upwards on the thumbnail. Before, I used to see a progress bar updating in the thumbnail (which I presume is updating to iCloud).
Now? Nothing. The arrow stays and nothing is updated on my iPhone 4. In fact, a previous version of my spreadsheet is shown on my iPhone with the same upwards pointing arrow but with the whole thumbnail 'greyed out'. I can't even open it on the iPhone to delete it!
Is this a know issue and are there any fixes? I've tried the usual turning iCloud off and on for both devices but this has not had any effect.

This is ridiculous!
I have now established that there are issues with Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents!!! They surely cannot all be corrupted?
I have managed to salvage an important Numbers Document which I have copied in to iTunes (and subsequently on to my external HD).
To try and rectify the situation I have then turned off iCloud on all 3 apps on both my iPhone 4 and iPad and deleted all documents under each app. I have then gone on to iWork under iCloud and deleted all documents off there (some of which I noted were not the up-to-date documents I had been working on in iOS). I had to turn off iCloud regardless to delete a couple of the documents on my iPhone (under all 3 apps) as some documents were greyed out (see original post) and could not be deleted. As soon as iCloud was disabled it enabled me to remove off the local device.
Having switched iCloud back on to my iPhone and iPad (and bearing in mind I had deleted all documents off both iOS devices and in iCloud) the greyed out thumbnails re-appear (and cannot be deleted or altered!!!!)
Anybody? Aaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Why is the app store charging me for iWork apps like Pages, Numbers, and Keynote?

I purchased my MacBook Pro November 30th, 2013 and they told me that I would be able to get iWork apps for free. I went into the App Store in my laptop and after I confirmed my apple ID I saw that there was a cost on Pages, Keynote, and Numbers when I was told it was supposed to be free. What can I do?

Scan a copy of your receipt, get your serial # and submit it to this web site.

Handoff not working for iWork apps

I have an iPhone 6, iPad 4, MacBook Pro (2013) and Mac Mini (2012). The iOS devices are running 8.1 and the Mac is running 10.10. I do not have any issues using handoff with Safari, but none of my iWork apps are handing off in either direction. I did have some success getting Keynote a few times handing off from iOS to OS X. Anything that I need to do differently or is it still just buggy?
Thanks.

Well handoff is now working fine with Pages, Numbers and KeyNote between rMBP and iPhone 5s.
I've not changed anything but did notice that the iOS apps were updated on 6 November to version 2.5.1, so maybe there was a fixed included there.

ICloud files for iWork backed up via Time Machine?

I'm trying to figure out that if I work on files like pages and numbers and save it to iCloud, do they go to my MacBook where I can also back them up via Time Machine. I want to make sure that if files are accidentally deleted somehow that I can have a historical backup via Time Machine.
I don't see anywhere in the finder on my MacBook air that can show me where my iCloud work is being placed at. That is why I'm trying to figure out if there is a historical backup via Time Machine in case iCloud loses or corrupts a file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Doug

Your iWork documents are kept in an invisible folder called Library, you can reveal it by opening the Finders Go menu while holding down the alt key, your iCloud documents are in a folder called Mobile Documents.
You shouldn't be working in these folders, but you would need to know where they are to restore from a Time machine back up, which does back them up.

Can I use iCloud storage for iOS apps?

Hello,
I'm trying to work out if it's possible to use iCloud to save/load data across devices with iOS apps created using Air.
I know there is a lot of talk about now meeting the Apple data storage guidelines eg http://www.saumitrabhave.com/2011/11/air-ios-solving-apps-must-follow-ios.html
What I can't understand is if I actually want to use iCloud to save data a user has created in my app (ie condition 1 of the storage guidelines - user generated data, cannot be re-created by application).
If I was to save this user data to the <Application>/Documents directory...
a) would it be backed up by iCloud and meet Apples requirements?
b) if my application was installed on another device is there any way, using Air/AS3, to know that a file has been updated and read the file?
Please let me know if this doesn't make sense... still trying to get my head around how it all works.
Thanks.

Handoff not working for iWork apps, but ok with Safari, Mail, etc.

Handoff is working fine between my iPhone and my rMBP for Safari, Mail, Calendar, Maps, etc. but not working with Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
Have updated Pages, Numbers and Keynote to latest versions on both OS X and iOS.
Any ideas?

8.1 icloud drive for Document and Data is not working well

On my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 (both on ios 8.1), every other day my apps would stop syncing with icloud. I noticed this with a few apps such as 1Password and Drafts 4.
icloud for default calenders and reminders were still working during this down time, just the Document and Data not syncing with icloud.
Remedy action:
(1) I need to off icloud drive
(2) press on home bottom and On/off bottom simultaneously to re-start the device
(3) then switch on the icloud drive again to make the Document and Data sync with icloud again.
This is really irritating and how can I think of a PC-less future when icloud is not reliable?
I am supposed to gain synergy for using 2 ios devices but I am certainly not feeling it at the moment.
Please can Apple fix this soon?

Page and Numbers are having the same problem. It gets so irritating that I have turned off the icloud drive for both apps.

OK, for the third time writing this this session, after setting up iCloud on my IPMini, how do I access the clod to use the iWork apps?

Note that you can not log into iCloud.com through the browser on an iOS device, only from a computer. If you want to use the iWork apps on your iOS device, you will need to purchase the apps from the app store if you don't qualify to get them for free.

IWork apps no longer sync with iCloud. I am on iOS 5.1,1, and this problem is several days old, before it was working fine. Anyone has an idea?

Sadly this is not a new problem and I would not expect a forthcoming solution. I bought an iPad 3G and the iWork suite at the end of August and iCloud syncing worked fine. About the time Apple rolled out iOS 6 the syncing stopped working for me (without me upgrading or changing anything). It has never really worked since. Run iOS 5.1.1 on both the iPhone 4 and iPad 3G. The "geniuses" claim that Apples iOS 5 requirement is not correct and that I MUST upgrade both to ios 6 (although I know for fact that lots of folks STILL have the iCloud probs even with its 6. The last genius basically shrugged and non-verbally acknowledged the iCloud/iWork failing and suggested "just use Dropbox.". So why the **** did we pay for iWork!?!?!
Basically the iwork/iCloud Connnection is broken and I have yet to get a viable solution to repair the issue. Sorry for the bad news. For reference I have uninstalled/installed each iteration of iWork upgrades on each device without success. I have reset all settings multiple times, turned iCloud off/on repeatedly etc etc without success. I even wiped the iPad and restored from iCloud w/o intention (another Apple IPad "glitch" when I tried the "reset all settings" and the iPad decided to "erase all" instead. The genius said "it happens.")
Oddly, the Pages app is the only one that has marginally worked at times since the first probs. However it is basically broken and non-functioning. Certainly DO NOT trust vital documents to iCloud/iWork. I lost a number of work critical docs in this whole annoying, messy process of trying to get what Apple promised as easy....

IWork apps not updating iCloud files automatically

My iWork apps (pages, keynote, numbers) on my MacBook Pro quit updating iCloud files automatically. Also the apps will not show files created or updated on my iPhone or iPad automatically. If I restart or shut down my MacBook Pro, then the iCloud files are updated at the launch of the iWork app. The iWork apps were updating the iCloud files antomatically until two days ago. I am looking for suggestions on how to get the automatic iCloud file update feature working again.

Yes I am using Mountian Lion. Automatic syncing was working great up to about 2 days ago. Then it just quit. I could turn the mac off and back on and it would sync, but still would not automatically. None of my troubleshooting tricks fixed the issue. Finally I reinstalled Mountian Lion and now the iWorks apps are syncing. I still don't the know the reason for the issue, but a complete start over solved the issue for now. Thanks for your comments.

There were some updates on my Apps. I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud. Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

HT4942 Do we need to purchase an Iworks app b/4 trying save a .xls to Icloud?

Do we need to purchase an app for b/4 trying to transfer an .xls file to Icloud (App.vit) from a PC to access w/Iphone?

Yes, and you will need an iworks app at each end.

My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?
