IPad to mac pages

Is there any way to transfer iPad pages documents to my mac pages app?

When you open a document in Pages for iPad there is a tools (wrench) icon to the upper right. Share and print has 2 option for you. Email the document or save it in itunes. If you save it in itunes the documents will be found by selecting the iPad in the sidebar and clicking on the Apps tab. There is a File Sharing section in the bottom section and once you choose Pages the documents will be visible. If you have a folder where you store them you can select all the documents at once in this list and drag and drop them on the folder icon. You can delete them from iTunes by selecting them all and pressing the delete key.

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

ICloud does not transfer files, contacts, Pages, etc to my iPad and Mac Computer from my iPhone How can I correct this problem

icloud suddenly stopped transferring files approximately 48 hours ago and that includes, contacts, Pages, etc to my iPad and Mac Computer from my iPhone How can I correct this problem? prior to that I had no problems with icloud transfers. what suggestions are there to remedy this problem?.

On your iPad and iPhone tap Settigs > iCloud
Switch Documents & Data off then back on. Do the same for Contacts.
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Documents & Data, same for Contacts then reselect both boxes then restart your Mac.

Pages docs no longer seem to sync and update in iCloud. My iPad and Mac still do, just not my iPhone.

My Pages docs used to update and synch through iCloud but do not seem to anymore. My iPad and MACs are fine. I have data settings turned out for Pages.

Go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and make sure Documents & Data is set to on, and that Pages is set to on. Then go to Settings>Pages and make sure Pages is turned on.
If they are turned on, try turning them off, then back on.

I upgraded to the iPad Version of Pages

I just wanted to add my voice to the already swarming people about my utter disappointment in the "Upgrade" to Pages.
First of all, When I saw it was a Free Upgrade, I immediately became suspicious. Apple only ever gives Free Upgrades or Free products when it knows its not going to go over well. (Bumper Cases), etc.   And it being free, they believe that they can defang the descenters.
Yet, I still held out hope that it would be an upgrade and ADD enhancements and streamline an already GREAT word processing program.    I Stopped using MS Word years ago, because I liked Pages so much more.   Once I got it installed, i found out, that I had upgraded to the iPad version of Pages.
Here is this revolutionary device, the iPad. Following the iPhone as the best new device in the History of Ever. AND IT WAS!...   What made it GREAT is that in general, it ran REAL software.   Not the nerf'd web browser of similar devices that really never worked. Steve Jobs made it part of the WOW when he said.. Here is this new Device.    IT RUNS THE SAME SAFARI as on the Mac (same general capabilities). It Was Awesome.
Fast forward to now, I have had an iPad since the iPad ONE.   Im an avid user of all apple devices. When they released Pages for the iPad, I forked over the $20USD to purchase it thinking HEY, it would be just like using it on the Mac.    Well, it wasnt. It was a nerf'd version.   But even still that was sorta understandable. A good word processor for a tablet even as advanced as the iPad, was sure to ge a difficult challenge.     Subtle updates, and such to Pages on iPad helped, but I can honestly say, Pages for iPad never worked for me as THE PLACE i wanted to go to build complex, full feature documents.
So Apple in their thinking outside the box manner (which usually turns out good things), goes and "upgrades" the Mac, Full-Featured version of pages to resemble the iPad version which had never been a great word processor to begin with.   What a mighty disappointment.
I understand that these days, Apple no longer innovates for the sake of innovation, their innovation is driven by the market.   For such a great company, with such a great legacy, it is such a disappointment.
Sorry Apple, you got this one wrong...!

When I checked out the on-line help for Pages, it distinctly mentions two types of document layouts: blank-template-based (like a simple letter) and placeholder-based (like a pamphlet).
With blank templates, you just type as if you're in a standard word processor (perhaps my use of the word "freeform" didn't help matters much).
With placeholder-based templates, you insert text boxes for where you want text to appear.
Here's some wording from Apple's own on-line help file:
If you’re using a blank template, just start typing to add text to the body of your document. If you’re using a template with placeholder text, first select the placeholder text; whatever you type replaces it. As you enter text, new pages are added automatically to accommodate it.
And as far as I can tell, new pages are NOT automatically added when using placeholder text.

Here's how to sync your Notes between iPad and Mac

This is not immediately obvious and took me several conversations with various AppleCare techs before I finally got the solution as to why my notes on my iPad where not syncing to my Mac Pro. The problem seems to be that you can't sync if you only have Notes on your iPad. You must have notes on your Mac to which unlike Calendar and Contacts don't have corresponding standalone applications, iCal and Addressbook, respectively. Notes exist within Mac Mail. I only had Notes on my iPad and none on my Mac Pro. In this event here's what to do to get setup and syncing:
SETUP:
1. Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked although, syncing via the cloud apparently won't happen until iOS 4.2.
2. With Mac Mail launched, if you've never created a note in Mac Mail, in the left column you should see:
MAILBOXES
ON MY MAC
RSS
or if you've created some notes on your Mac Mail, you'll see:
MAILBOXES
REMINDER
- Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
The key is you have to have REMINDERS created. So if you don't have it created, when you sync your iPad and Mac, the iPad doesn't know what to do as there's no "receptacle" for it's notes on your Mac.
So in Mail, in the top of the window create a new Note, click the notepad icon to the right of the New Message.
Now REMINDERS will be created in Mail's left column with this new note. You can simply put "Test" or whatever and click "Done" in the upper left of the Note's window.
3. Plug your iPad into your Mac, in iTunes, in the left column click your iPad under DEVICES the Info tab in the top. At the bottom of the page is "Other" > click: Sync notes. Do NOT click the checkbox "Notes" in the next section under "Advanced"
4. Click "Apply" at the bottom of the page and your iPad and Mac will begin to sync. It may take awhile as I believe it is doing both a sync and backup.
Once this process is done, you'll see your notes fully sync'd on your iPad and Mac. Yea! but there's more...
5. Notes created in Mac Mail show up in 2 places: your MAILBOXES > Inbox and under REMINDERS > Notes, and if you delete the Mac Mail note in your inbox, it deletes the note in your REMINDERS.
This is unfortunate and not great interface design IMHO and should be remedied.
Luckily the last Tier 2 AppleCare tech I just spoke with had a workaround for this, which is:
6. Create a new mailbox inside Notes under REMINDERS. Click Notes, then go to Mailbox > New Mailbox... in the top of your monitor screen.
Under the location pulldown it should show a notepad icon and On My Mac.
For the Name, I called my new mailbox "iPad Notes" Then click OK.
Then a triangle appears next to Notes mailbox to access this new subfolder (iPad Notes) and you then drag your now sync'd notes from Notes under REMINDERS to your "iPad Notes" subfolder under Notes. Now your left column will look like:
MAILBOXES
REMINDERS
-Notes
--iPad Notes
ON MY MAC
RSS
Doing this drag to "iPad Notes" will remove the note(s) from your inbox, but keep it in your REMINDERS and thus be available for Syncing, which currently can only be done with your iPad when plugged in via USB to your Mac.
Apparently, in iOS 4.2, you'll be able to use MobileMe to sync Notes just like Calendar and Contacts. We'll see.
I hope this is helpful. It took me awhile to get all this set up, and being that I am not an AppleCare tech, if you have questions instead of asking me, I recommend you call AppleCare and review with them. Let them know I got the above info from Tier 2 support.
Once iOS 4.2 and Lion come out, all this may, hopefully be a simpler process, but as of this writing, pre 4.2 and Lion, this is now working on my iPad and Mac Pro.
Good Luck.
Steven

Thanks ,,, but when I "Go to System Preferences on your Mac > MobileMe > Sync > and make sure Notes is checked"
I CANNOT check the "Notes". It is NOT highlighted. MAYBE because I am NOT logged-in to mail.mac.com?
Is this why my Sync Notes between MacBook Pro and iPAD 2 does NOT work?
How do I fix it?
Also I continue to get Error Message "smtp.mail.com" password not accepted.
I DO NOT know my mail.mac.com password.

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.

Importing Mac Pages Documents

I have some trifold brochures that were created in Mac Pages. They're in landscape format to be folded over and mailed. Importing into the iPad Pages has been pretty much a disaster. First was the font issue (I used fonts that don't exist in iPad. I tried to delete the offending fonts from the source files but every time that I brought the files into the iPad, Pages complained about the fonts. I found it necessary to create new documents from scratch being careful to use only those fonts that exist in the iPad.
When I bring these documents into iPad Pages, several of my text boxes overflow which makes portions of the text invisible. Also, the image bullets (standard Mac Pages image) are roughly five times the correct size. When I try to shrink the images, they disappear completely and are replaced by dots. In an attempt to figure out what was taking place, I created a blank document to investigate and the only difference between "image" and "bullet" is that "image" is a larger dot.
Has any one else had similar difficulties?

Let's hope Apple really is working on this. I bought my iPad 2 hoping to use it as a backup work station for Pages and Numbers, only to find that these Mac and iPad programs aren't truly compatible because of the fonts issue.
So I feel as if I now own a very expensive toy -- on which I'm delighted to have wasted an additional $20 in worthless apps. Who knew Apple would be completely secretive about a major design flaw?

What did you rent the film on, your iPad or your Mac ? If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app on it (you should get a rentals tab in the app). If you rented it on your Mac then it should be in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library, you will have to connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and move it from your Mac to your iPad (I think that it should show on the iPad's Movies tab for moving)

Hello, we have a Mac and an ipad, the Mac is working and wifi is on and the ipad's wifi is on too, but Ipad Safari can not open the page because it could not connect to the server, does any one know that?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Sharing Documents between the iPad and Mac using iCloud?

I use Pages on my iPad and have it set to share documents via iCloud. When I open Pages on my iMac,however, I do not see any way to access those documents on iCloud. Am I missing something really obvious?

I have absolutely the latest apps and operating system on my iPad and my iMac.
The whole point, I thought, of iCloud's documents sync is that documents should be easily sync'd between Pages, Numbers and Keynote on different platforms.
Pages on the iPad and iPhone store the docments in a "special" folder. In Mac OSX documents can be saved anywhere on the Mac.
I don't know about the "native" file format on the iPhone of iPad, but if I email the document to my Mac, Pages on the Mac can open the file. Its just that I shouldn't have to email it since it's already on iCloud and the Mac has a connection to iCloud.

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?
