Numbers iCloud not updating on Mac - 'Waiting'

I have an iPhone, iPad and Mac at home and Mac at Work, all running latest iOS, OS X and iWork. One Mac will not upload to iCloud.
What I have tried
I have checked Document and Data turned on, options for Numbers are switched on.
I have tried opening and adding a small change and saving to kick start a change.
I can drag from desktop to Safari and it updates.
I can create new on iPhone and ipad and edit on each other and also see in Safari but my home Mac doesn't work with them now.
Possible causes
I did reset iCloud documents and data and followed steps with a restart because 1password was not (and still is not working on this Mac).
I have updated to latest Mavericks and run Onyx could this have caused this issue?
What I see on the rogue Mac
In the icon view of the Numbers iCloud folder, there is the icon of a cloud and the word 'Waiting' this has been there for a while now
Any help much appreciated

Hi thanks for the info but actually that page doesn't really cover it. I did solve the issue which was annoying, see this
Each file icon has the dreaded dotted cloud underneath and 'Waiting'. I realised that the whole of Numbers was blocked on one mac but working on another mac and an iPhone and iPad.
The solution was to turn off 'Documents and Data' in iCloud in the System preferences. Then shut down. Then restart and then turn on 'Documents and Data' in iCloud in the System preferences again.
Then the data had to be downloaded all over again which took ages. I had also had problems with 1Password which had been going on for a while before I noticed/ needed Numbers and those issues were sorted out at the same time but, similarly, took ages to re-download as well.
I haven't used Pages or keynote in the last few days from this Mac but will probably have to open both apps up a day or so in advance of needing to use them so they too can download again.
Oh well, so long as there is a solution in the end. I hope this is useful information for anyone in a similar position

Keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem

keynote document saved in icloud not updating with data from Numbers? is icloud the problem.
If both files are held locally on the computer it looks like there is no problem however if you try and do it though icloud (ie your docs are saved on icloud) you dont get the "source" oprion besides the graph etc. Is this a but or a broken function due to the new implementation of icloud.

Hi sebnor31,
This is Visual C# forum, but your question seems not related to Visual C# language itself. It most likely related to the bluetooth message transaction protocal or with the device itself.
I'll move your question to [where is this forum for...] forum where the morderator may direct you to the correct forum.
Thanks for your understanding.

HT4972 Why Pages and numbers are not updating.

My pages and numbers are not updating for about a week now Why?

Some one else had a similar problem last night...same as yours. He claimed that Pages had been stuck trying to update for about week. I posted this and he said that it worked - which part he did not say - but give these things a try.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the download.
If you have all of your Pages files backed up in iTunes or on your Mac, this might be the answer. Try deleting the waiting icon - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
I have deleted Pages a couple of times when I had issues with it and then reinstalled it. I even deleted a stalled Pages once and then tried the update successfully again after that. My files are always backed up in iTunes and on my Mac so I had no apprehension about deleting the waiting download.

Mac Book Software Update not working, iTune will not update because of that, iPhone 4 won't connect to iTunes because iTunes is not updated. Mac v.10.5.8, iTunes v.10.5.2, iPhone4 iOS 6

Mac Book Software Update not working (Software Update does not have any new software for your computer at this time), my current MacBook version is 10.5.8.
As a result I can't update iTunes, version 10.5.2 (This software requiers Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later)
Now when I connect my iPhone 4, version iOS 6 iTunes can't connect to iPhone (The iPhone "XXXXX's iPhone" cannot be used because it requiers iTunes version 10.6.3 or later.)
so in a nutshell can't use iphone 4, because iTune is not updated and will not update because Mac Book is not up to date and will not update either.
Please help.
Thank you

HT201104 My Numbers file not updating in iCloud drive on Imac

both iPads working beautifully, but I cannot get the latest version on my iMac in iCloud d

Hello james beresford-wylie,
So the updated Numbers file is being updated on iCloud as both iPads are seeing it, but the Mac is not getting the new version in iCloud Drive.
My first thoughts are does the update show on icloud.com (on the Mac) and is the file showing in the Finder but pending the download.
From
Get help using iCloud Drive - Apple Support
If you still don't see the latest changes or you see an "in-progress change" icon or the iCloud Drive icon in the notification area (system tray), try to save a new document to the iCloud Drive folder. Then check the iCloud Drive folder to see if the changes appear.
Take care,
Nubz

Problem numbers icloud not synching

Hey guys,
I got a problem with my iCloud synchronisation:
It works perfectly between my iPhone and my iPad, but it doesn't work with my MacBook Pro.
All my numbers files are not updated on my mac, so I cannot work with them anymore.
That's a real problem, has anyone an idea how to make my icloud work on my Mac again?
I've already tried turn it off an on again, on Mac and on all my iOS tools. I've also tried to open the files from the Finder, but there my files are shown, but I can't open them, they are also not synchronised. All my software is updated.
Thanks for your help!

ITunes and iCloud not Updating

As of Yesterday afternoon my iCloud will not update my information. I called the apple help line were they took me though many steps that I had already done and finally said that the server must be down and to try to sign in to iCloud later. This is funn because he had mentioned earlier that the servers were fine. I also noticed that I can not update any of my apps on iTunes from my Macbook or iOS devices.
I am not sure were to go from here. The call didn't help and I know that my network is working fine. I haven't done anything differently then usual on my mac.
I always update everything and keep everything clean. I am running the latest updates for OSX and iOS.
Can someone help?

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 not updating - using MAC OS X, v 10.9.5. Help!

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.10 not updating. Trying to update to version 10.1.13. on MAC OS X, v 10.9.5. All my Adobe CS5.5 Design Premium products update fine.
First tried automatic updates and go this: Update error: An error occurred. Please check for updates again later. Error: 1514.
Then went to Adobe.com to download update.
Downloaded the 10.1.13 update, started installation but in final stage of installation got this message "The Installation Failed (encountered an error) Contact software manufacturer for assistance.”
What do I do now? Thanks,

Hey Marylou Wade,
We would need the Acrobat installation logs in order to analyze this error. Please follow the below procedure to extract the log :
- During the installation press Command + L.
- Installer Log window appears. Now On the top left corner of this window, by default 'Show Errors Only' is selected in drop-down list.
- Change it to 'Show All Logs'. Now when the installer hangs, copy log from here and send it to us.

PC will not update. Mac updated fine...

When trying to update from the PC I get a message that states that the update server is down or may be offline, or the firewall settings could be wrong.
Would that be MY firewall settings?
The mac updated with no problem, but my PC will not update.
Thanks

Hi Wizwow,
Its possible it could be your firewall settings. This document might help.

This is the path to the updater executable, you might be able to grant access for it in the firewall software directly.

Messages do not update on mac pro

I'm running a 3,1 dual 3.2 G, 16GB MacPro with Mavericks 9.5.
My Macbook Pro's running Mountain Lion.
I'm having trouble with Messages 8.0 on the MacPro. I ran Disk Warrior today, and I restarted to find all of my messages gone. Checked the Messages archive in my library,and it had apparently not updated in quite some time (a month or so).
I see that my Macbook Pro updates its messages to current whenever I log on. Not so with the Mac Pro. Settings appear to be identical. Can anybody help with this? I'd love to get my messages back on the desktop; they're all still on the laptop and my iPhone.
Thanks...

Hi,
I must admit I tend to do it this way:-
From Re: messages "An error occurred while activating. Try again later"
"If that does not work find the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and Restart the app
This forces to reconnect with one of the iMessages servers.
If that does not work Right Click the Preferences Folder icon in the Path Bar and select the "Get Info" option.
In the info panel that appears scroll to the bottom.
Your short name should be listed here with Read and Write Permissions.
Then highlight your Name and use the Cogwheel icon under the list.
This should list a line about making you the Owner but in greyed out text. (if it is greyed out you already Own it)
The above is where the files are stored.
However in Mavericks and Yosemite the Messages is one of th Sandboxed apps that effectively have a "Read and Write route" to those .plists
In the Finder window you have open click on the Library icon to open the Library itself.
Then navigate to Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
You will notice that this has Aliases pointing to files of the same names as in ~/Library/Preferences.
Right click this Preferences Folder icon and do the Get Info thing.
Check you have Read and Write Permissions and that you Own it.
Repeat for each folder back to the Library one (Library, Data, com.apple.iChat )"
This is because I have always tried the least amount of changes along the way to solving an issue.
However Eric's way is easier.

When I updated my apps, the apps are not updating but say waiting. This is the 5th day they say updating. What can I do?

Last week, I hit update all apps. Unfortunately, the apps have not updated and continue to say waiting. What can I do to fix this, so I can use the 26 apps that are pending?

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

ICloud not updating with Outlook 2010

iCloud quit "talking" to outlook about the 2nd week of December. I was running Outlook 2010 and iOS 7 on my iPhone 5s and it was working flawlessly. Tried upgrading to iOS 8.1.2 and have just updated to iCloud for Windows 4.0.6.28 ... then signed off and back on. Calendar and contacts downloaded to Outlook but it is not "live" (new entries for calendar or contacts are NOT updated on the other platform). I'm hoping I'm missing something simple ... please help!!!

Many podcasts not updating on Mac and iPhone

Podcasts I'm subscribed to, do not update on the Mac or the iPhone.

Perhaps the authors are not updating them. Perhaps the authors have messed up the feeds in some way. Perhaps your firewall is blocking them. Perhaps your iTunes is corrupted in some way. How can anyone possibly know without being able to at least look at one or two and see whether they work? Perhaps you could post a couple of examples - give the iTunes Store page URL (control-click or right-click on the podcast image and choose 'Copy URL')

My Mobile Me account ends soon and Apple is telling me to switch to iCloud. I have an iPad2 and 64 gig iTouch that I dont see any issues with but I have not updated my Mac to Lion. Will everything work?

Hi,
I have an iPad2 and an iTouch (64G) devices as well as a Mac running snow leopard. I dont want to update to Lion because I will not be able to use my quicken software (I am aware of quicken essentials for mac) I am receiving emails that I am running out of time for my Mobile Me account and I am being encouraged to switch to iCloud. My question is if I switch to iCloud on my devices will I still be able to sync with my computer?

No. You will need to upgrade to Lion to sync with your computer. You can use the web version of icloud but it is clunky and doesn't work as well.
