Is it possible to upooad documents to iCloud

....and I'm talking about any docuemnt, not an iWork document not an MS Office document, I mean any document, any file type. I know hat I can do with iWork, but guess what, I'm tired of buying new vession of that crap every freakin year, and never actually using it. Also, why is Apple constantly taking things away from me. With iDisk I was albe to easily backup anything I needed, but I cannot with iCloud. Again, Apple has mastered the art of F***ing over their customers
All I want to do is take a simple file be it a video file, or some other type of file that isn't MS Office, or a propietary Apple file type, and save it on the cloud. Is that too much to ask Apple?
I was never a Mac fan in the beginning, but after a while Apple finally won me over, but I can honestly say that I've started using my PC more and rarely use my Mac. The reason for this is because I like to have full control over my system, and not lose features with every new OS. Microsoft does not keep taking features away from me; plain and simple. I'm tired of Apple trying to dumb down what they already have. It's dumbed down enough. By making thing easier, you're only taking awa those options that I grew to like, and in turn making things more difficult to accompish because those options are not there
If anyone knows how I can upload a document to iCloud, I woudl greatly appriciate the anwer. If there isn' a way, I'll accept that, cancel my iCloud membvership, and pay for cloud storage which is actually cheaper than my iCloud account.
Apple you need to realize that those people who call the call cener and who you take all that feedback from are only 10 percent of your customer base who are idiots and actually need to have things dumbed down even more I know this post will probalby be removed, but you obviously have my email based on my Apple ID, so you know who this is. If yo have an actual anwer, not an excuse, I'll be happy to except it.

The answer is not "no". The best answer is probably DropBox. You install DropBox on your phone and on your computer. You save/copy the documents you want to keep in DropBox and on your phone you can open them. Better still, DropBox for iPhone and iPad permits you to "start" the file, which makes a copy and keeps it directly on your device (instead of downloading each time).
You can put PDFs, Microsoft Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets, iWork documents, images, movies, HTML, plain text, etc. and view them on your phone and take them with you. Not only that, but you can also access them from any computer using a web browser (in case you lose your phone). I do this with my travel docs all the time,
The other answer is that the iBooks app permits you to load PDFs into it through iTunes. Take your PDF and drag it into the the iTunes window to add it to the Books library in iTunes. Then, connect your iPad, select which books you want to sync (in this case, the "Books" are your PDF documents), and sync. Ta-da -- your files in iBooks. It should be noted that DropBox permits you to copy PDF documents into iBooks too (and images into the Photos app).

  • Can I create an icon for a document in iCloud and place it in the dock for easy access?

    I would like to create an icon for a spreadsheet that is stored in iCloud.and place the icon in the dock for easy access.  This is possible with documents stored on the iMac.   Thanks

    How did you save Word documents to iCloud, Word will not do that so how did you? Did you use another application or maybe drop them in the Mobile Documents folder?
    Please explain the how, then it may be easier to answer your question.

  • How do you actually save a word document in icloud?

    Word docs won't be dragged and dropped into icloud box on my mac. I bought the stupid pages app and then iwork from apple thinking that might help, as docs could be saved in Pages format and retrieved on my iPhone. But pages docs can't be password protected, so sensitive documents - such as those containing bank details and the like - can't be saved via the cloud to access on my phone.
    With iDisk this was possible. What's the alternative, since Pages is an inferior program in so very many ways to Word?

    Word documents can be saved in iCloud, although they will be converted to pages documents when opened on an iOS device. If you are having problems dragging and dropping your Word documents onto iCloud.com, try a another word format.
    Pages documents do not require password protection when in iCloud, because iCloud itself is password protected.

  • Saving documents on iCloud

    Am I wrong or it is not possible to save the same document in both iCloud and Computer? I have to choose a location and then I am stuck to it for whaat I understand. If this is true iCloud is useless because if you use, as I do, a macbook or iPad and you work on the move, again as I do and this is the purpose of a portable computer, it is not always possibe to have a wifi or internet connection available and is it is so you cannot work. If this is true I think that it should be fixed immediately if Apple wants that Pages and ICloud are used for professional purposes. I hope that I am stupid and wrong and that you may demonstrate this. Thanks

    Dear Jerry,
    thanks to have demonstrated that I was wrong and that I am stupid. It is much better to acknowledge one's own stupidity than to have a software that has a bug. It works perfectly.
    However, I find difficulties with Pages on my iPad2: while accessing to documents on iCloud sometime it freezes, other times it doesn't download the documents either with sync or trhough icloud web portal. I mean that it doesn't show them on the device. Have you heard about this problem? Do you have any suggestion?
    Thank you again
    Antonio

  • How do I store my documents on icloud?

    How do I store my documents on icloud and access it on other devices?

    If by 'Documents' you mean iWork documents, you need to enable 'Documents' in System Preferences>iCloud and then when you are ready to upload specifically iWork documents, go to http://me.com/icloud , navigate to the iWork sections, choose the page for the document type, and drag the document to it. 
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm9d2051b9
    Mountain Lion adds a few document types, and it's possible that others will be added as time goes on.
    However if you are talking about other sorts of documents, then iCloud does not provide general file storage in the manner of the late lamented iDisk. You will need to find a third-party alternative: this page examines some options:

  • Saving documents in icloud

    I would like to save non-iWork documents in iCloud.
    Is this possible?
    If so, how is it done?

    With some types of documents yes, in other cases you might be better with online storage, what exactly did you want to do.

  • Is it possible that a document (in this case an Appleworks or Movie Magic Screenwriter) can be lost forever, but it's contents somehow remain as other file types elsewhere? I have an old hard drive and I need to locate the contents of these files.

    I have a 20 gig hard drive from a 2001 iBook. When my iBook crashed back in '04, there was a screenplay on there that was not saved anywhere else. It has tremendous sentimental value to me, and I would really like to retrieve it. I've ran some data recovery software that's uncovered a gargantuan amount of data, most of it being completely unreadable to me.
    Additionally, I have found an AppleWorks file that could be the script, but it is ZERO bytes in size, and Pages won't even open it, saying that it is not a valid AppleWorks file.
    So I'm curious...is it possible that the document is lost, but somehow the contents of it are somewhere else on the drive as metadata in other unreadable formats. And if that's the case, how would I go about translating the unreadable data back into something that IS readable?

    if the size of this file is really ZERO bytes, either the original file contained an empty data fork and a resource fork which was stored elsewhere (*) or the file is too damaged to retrieve anything. Moreover, as AppleWorks never generates file with empty data fork, at least to my knowledge, ....
    Concerning the Movie Magic ScreenWriter files, the application seems to exist for Yosemite http://www.write-bros.com/movie-magic-screenwriter.html ( but it seems "expensive"  and I do not know if it accepts to import old files )....
    (*) maybe in .TOTO or __MACOSX/.TOTO if the filename is TOTO

  • Problem with documents on iCloud.

  • I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

    I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both.  I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it  - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from  any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it  ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough  - or maybe it's me?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud CAN Be Done...

    Hey everyone,
    I wanted to share my experience as I've seen threads saying it can't be done and a lot of people confused as to, why not? Here's my method of working so hopefully everyone can enjoy this feature like I am. The image below IS a Word document but it's for my solicitor so has personal info on it.
    Just list a few specs I'm using as the system layout might be different to yours;
    OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
    Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
    MacBook Pro Mid 2009 model
    Step 1: Test Document
    Go to Applications and open up 'TextEdit' and click the bottom left hand corner which states 'New Document' and type whatever you want, maybe 'test text'. Go to save and choose a name to save the document under BUT in the field where it says 'Where' choose iCloud... There's a method to my working.
    Step 2: Finding the 'Hidden' Library folder in Finder and Mobile Documents
    Click 'Finder' and at the top menu bar find 'Go' and click that, with your finger on the options key simultaneously (my keyboard states 'alt' and has the squiggle for Options) then you should see Library pop up, click that. A whole new 'screen' should pop up and scroll down until you find 'Mobile Documents'. Open it up and this is where ALL the iCloud content is saved so don't try and delete or change too much in here if you can help it. Go to the 'com~apple~TextEdit' folder and you should see your STEP 1 test document in there... So, we know it works now? Keep this open for the time being so you don't have to route through again...
    Step 3: Putting Microsoft Office Documents in iCloud
    Choose what WORD (Pages), EXCEL (Numbers) or POWERPOINT (Keynote) document you want to save in iCloud and open that document up as normal (so in Microsoft Office). Click SAVE AS and here's a pictured example below, save the document as .docx and save. You'll now have TWO of the same documents I have one which is compatible with Mac & Windows but the second is JUST for Mac (I believe) and this .docx is the one you'll need for iCloud.
    Step 4: Putting the Word or Document into iCloud
    Go back to your Finder window which has the Mobile Documents but then go to File > New Finder Window (So you have them side by side like the picture) > Locate your .docx Saved document and all you need to do is drag that file to the area you want it to go. So, if it's a 'Word' document you'll want to go to Pages as its equivalent. Open up the com~apple~Pages folder and you'll get two other folders and open the one on the left and drag the file into there.
    Step 5: Check it's actually in iCloud...
    Go to, www.icloud.com
    Sign in with your ID etc. and it'll be in there... If you have Pages etc. on your iPhone or iPad... i believe it'll be in there but I haven't got these on my iPhone or iPad. let me know how you do?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can share some word documents with pages on your iOS devices.
    If you want to upload documents that aren't for use with iOS devices this User Tip might be of interest.

  • Pages won't open documents from iCloud

    I have a bunch of documents in icloud.  I can open them on my iPad, but I cannot open them on my MBP.  I get an error message simply saying Pages cannot open the document.  This is a brand new MBP running Mountain Lion.

    I've encountered this issue a couple of times with Pages 5.1. You try to open a document you've been previously working on that's saved in iCloud, and almost instantly Pages says it can't open the document.
    I logged into iCloud and confirmed the document was there are editable with iCloud Pages beta.
    You'll find you can create a new document, save it to iCloud, but be unable to open it. Likewise, you can rename and duplicate documents in iCloud using Pages, but still it won't open anything.
    Before you get too carried away signing out of iCloud, or deleting folders and what not as I've seen suggested, restart your computer to see if that fixes the problem.
    In my case this worked, and effectively, your computer is signing out of iCloud, then signing back in when you restart.
    There could be many reasons aside from the obvious bug in Pages as to why this might occur. Are you signed in on two different user accounts using the same iCloud account, as is frequently the situation with me, as I have a work user and home user on my MBP.
    Is your wireless connection a little unreliable. You might be able to browse, but the signal strength might be too low to interact with iCloud reliably.
    In any event, the good old "turn it off, then turn it on again" fixed the problem for me. Try that first as it's the least destructive.

  • When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How to share documents with iCloud and Pages?

    I keep getting reminded to remove everything from iWork, but I don't really understand how to share anything (documents) on iCloud. Am I missing something? (Well, I know I am, but it isn't exactly straightforward to me.)
    Could someone point me to some information about that?
    Thanks.

    You can store iWorks docs on iCloud, but you cannot share them with others.  The old iWorks beta web site let you host files for other remote users to have access to them, and iCloud (at least not now) does not allow that.

  • Ipad can't see numbers document in icloud

    I have icloud set up on my imac, itouch and ipad.  I have Numbers on all of them. I saved a numbers document on the cloud from imac, and it appeared on ipad. This morning I saved another numbers document on icloud, but no matter what I do it won't show up on ipad. I've wasted SO MUCH TIME (not to mention the money it cost to buy the apps) on this useless "timesaving" feature.  *** is going on?

    Disregard.  It apparently took about 15 minutes for the sync to occur and now I'm seeing my iCloud documents on my iPad.
