Opening document in pages on ipad with icloud

I get message saying "Open Document This document may look different on your iOS device than on your Mac. Use Open Copy if you want to preserve the original." Then has two options: Open Copy or Open. How should I proceed. I thought I could just drag my document into the iCloud and then edit from either one of my computers or one of my iOS devices and the change would take place on all devices? This seems to me that Im going to have duplicates taking up cloud space and one may be updated and the other not? Am I correct? Thank you for any help. To me its clear as mud. Oh yeah I'm using an iMac, MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.4 on each and an iPad 3

The document is automatically saved to iCloud, but has no name. Pages save it automatically and call it "empty".
If you create a new document again and save it, it is called "empty 1" and such will be in the next emty 2 ... etc.
I can not rename the document and name it and call it what I want.

Recovering documents in Pages for iPad after iCloud account change

I changed iCloud accounts on my iPad, and when I did all documents in Pages were deleted. Is there anyway to recover those documents? The old iCloud account had the user name changed, so several documents were created on the iPad without being sync'd to any iCloud account.

Try and retrieve them with a computer; log on to www.icloud.com

Unable to open documents in pages for iPad

I use iWork for work on a regular basis. All my documents are organized in folders. Some of my documents show inside their respective folders but I'm unable to open them. For example in one folder I have 12 documents raging from January thru December and I can see all of them, but when I click on December to open it doesn't do anything. Clicking on edit doesnt let me highlight it either. I can't delete it or open it. When logging in to iCloud the documents dont even show on there. Fortunetly I can recreate the damaged documents but I can't get rid of them. Anyone having the same issue who has successfully deleted these? Thanks

Hi Ankit,
Thank you for your advice, but Im still having problems.
Back to the OP. To avoid the threads getting confused, I suggest the other user starts a new one?
I have tried ensuring that PDFs are automatically opened by Adobe. I used the path you suggested. However, I'm still having the same problem.
When I went to do this, Adobe was listed in the "recommended" list of products with which to open PDF files. However, I ignored this and followed your guidance. Once I had done, nothing happened (i.e. Adobe icon was not added to the 'Other products' list below the 'Recommended').
To me, this speaks of either a bad installation or bad association in which something is causing Adobe not to recognise itself.
What else can you advise?
Is there, for instance, a way to have a clean removal of Adobe, and then reinstall? I don't even know if this will work.

Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?

Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3. But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01. So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac. Weird...

How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

Not sure if you just have an issue with your setup or something else.
I had an issue where my numbers and pages documents were not syncing on my ipad, but were on my iphone.
I turned icloud off an on, reset the apps, even deleted them and reinstalled them. I also checked all of the other icloud setting.
Only thing that worked (and it might be just a fluke) I emailed from my iphone a numbers document to my ipad. I opened then closed the document and the app. When I opened it back up it started importing my icloud documents.
If it is a settings issue then you need to be sure you have icloud setup in your mail settings. Has to be there and active.

MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.4 - can't open document in pages - message says need updated version and there aren't any

MacBook Pro - OSX 10.9.4 - trying to open document in pages. Message says can't open with this version - go to app store for update, but there aren't any updates.

Hope apple can fix this soon if new patch 10.9.4 cause this.
Apple cannot fix problems they did not create. Eset and Avast are capable of doing nothing beneficial and can only cause problems. Uninstall it and determine if the problems subside.
Use Avast's uninstaller, which will remove it completely. Eset requires using the uninstaller included with its downloaded installation program (see screenshot):
Eset will also require manual techniques to uninstall components its uninstaller leaves behind, a common characteristic of poorly written software.
I am now can access an internet, with zero security.
It's a common misconception that you have "zero security" without junk such as Eset or Avast. OS X already includes robust protections against viruses and malware. Use your Mac the way it was intended to be used - without burdening it with useless garbage.

Cannot get ipad2 to open documents in pages, iAnnotate or goodreader

I have previously been able to open documents in pages, iAnnotate and good reader. For the last week I have not been able to. Drop box also affected. When trying to open a document, the screen pauses and cycles, but nothing happens....please help.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

I have a school ipad with iCloud using a different ID (my school email address) . I am leaving and want to buy my own ipad and transfer all my data and docs to my personal iCloud account but don't know how to do this without deleting all data and photos?

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

How do I name documents in Pages for iPad?

How do I name documents in Pages for iPad?
When I create a new documents in Pages it is saved simply as Blank. I need to be able to edit this and give my new document a name such as "Pricing Proposal", etc.
Is this possible in Pages for iPad, and if so how do I go about it?

Ah yes: that works. I swear I tried that when searching for how to do this, but I must not have held my finger down long enough.
Thank you so much for your help

Is there other way which I can erase my iPad. Because the regular way shows that "There was a problem deregistering this iPad with iCloud."

If you want to wipe your iPad back to new in box, i.e., ready to be set up as a new device.
1. Turn off Find My iPhone.
2. Then go to settings > general > erase > erase all content and data
You'll have to confirm you really want to do this, but once it's complete, the iPad will be back to way it was when you took it out of the box for the first time.
And BTW., it wasn't necessary to post this question twice in two separate threads.

I cannot open a video in my ipad with extnsion .wlmp. Any suggestions?

I cannot open a video in my ipad with extnsion .wlmp. Any suggestions?

Just as we know Windows Live Movie Maker .wlmp file is not a valid video file but a movie project file from which a video file can be generated in Windows Live Movie Maker and this .wlmp project files cannot be opened and played by any media players like VLC, QuickTime, iTunes, iPod, iPad, iPhone or uploaded to YouTube, Facebook for sharing, let alone to play WLMP on Mac.
Though we can reopen this WLMP files in Windows Live Movie Maker on a Windows PC and then save and export the .wlmp project files to WMV video format, we are still unable to play the exported WMV on Mac. For WMV is also not compatible with Mac devices. (Exception: Windows Live Movie Maker 2012 can export WLMP to MP4, in this case, we can played the exported WLMP MP4 files on Mac)
In order to play .wlmp files on Mac QuickTime, iTunes, iPad, iPod, or edit WLMP files in iMovie, Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, we have no other choices but to convert WLMP to MP4, MOV, or MP3.
The following will describe a step by step guide on how to convert WLMP to MP4, MP3 or MOV at How to Convert WLMP to MP4 to Play WLMP files on Mac, iMovie, iTunes?

TS1702 All my documents in Pages for iPad 2 will not open.

All my documents show the first page of the User Guide. If I clicked on any of them, they would not open, except for the User Guide itself.
I have deleted the App and reinstalled it. All documents have gone, but i still have them on iTunes and iPhone.
In the new app which only shows the User Guide, it will not create a new document. Also the documents have not been reinstated from iCloud.
Help please. Would dearly like to get this sorted.

Sounds to me like you may have an issue with the firmware, i.e. the iOS version that you are runing. I also have an iPad 2 and sometimes have to restart it to get it to recognize and run a newly downloaded app. And only once or twice have I had to uninstall and redownload an app that this didn't fix. I think this has more to do with the way an app has been coded more than anything else.
You might try doing a "Reset All Settings" reset and set it up as a new iPad. You should not lose any data, apps, music, videos, etc. that you have stored on your device. I have done this a few times when tweaking the iOS 5.0.1 firmware and never lost anything. You do have to re-enter your ID's and Passwords for wifi. And of course you will need to go back into settings and reset any changes you may have made to things like location and notifications.
I don't know if this will work, but if I was in your place this is the next step that I would take.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.
