Pages and iCloud issues
So far I have found the following issues using Pages and iCloud both on iPad and iMac.
1. I migrated 2 mobileme accounts to iCloud. The pages option to use iCloud would not stay on. This could only beresolved by deleting one of the mail accounts.
2. Pages froze after editing a document and closing it when there was no internet connection. I had to reboot the iPad.
3. The user interface for Folders on the iPad and in iCloud>iWork on iMac is extermely poor. On the iPad there is no way of organising documents in a folder or displaying them other than as thumbnails. On the iMac it is not possible to create folders, organise the contents of those created on iPad, or display other than thumbnails.
If this is Apple's attempt to lure people to Cloud computing then it is not a good start. They should have ported iDisk. I will go back to DropBox.
Though no one replied to this topic, I'm updating with what I've learned after spending many hours on the phone with an Apple tech rep who had esacalated to engineers. There is NO solution. Docs that are out of sync or unretrievable from iCloud or iCloud Drive, they cannot assist with. They offered to wipe my iCloud Drive account and reset it, but I wanted them to restore it afterwards. Just a simple, pull the data off, dump it on an FTP server so I can access it. Nope. No assistance. Not their problem. I have to manually pull ALL the files off my iPad's iCloud account, the ones I can get to and go through this insane 6 step process to get to those docs. Really disappointed with Apple. Using MS Word on the iPad and though not perfect...at least the Pages docs won't be lost.

iCloud, iOS8 and iCloud Drive - a fine mess

One day I opened pages on my iPad and all of my documents had the ink logo on them. The titles still remained, but the content was gone, and I couldn't even open the documents. However, they are all still on iCloud. I reinstalled pages on my iPad, but only one of the documents came back into my pages app from iCloud, and I can't open it because it is frozen on the "download" bar. How do I get the rest of my iCloud documents back on my iPad? My internet correction is good and I'm not having any other issues with my iPad and the internet working.
Thanks,
THow are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
See if you can open that document on your laptop now. -
Page and iCloud, Page and iCloud
How use Page with iCloud ??
You will need to find a new hosting service - there are plenty to choose from - and upload your site to it. You can do this directly in iWeb '09 or above, or with earlier versions you have to publish to a local folder and use an FTP program to upload it. There are a few issue with not using MobileMe as several minor facilities won't work.

Itunes email address and iCloud issues
Good afternoon all,
When I initially created an Apple account back in 2004 I signed up for a then .mac email address and now use that same .mac address with all of my iCloud services. Not thinking I created an AppleID to use with iTunes using a personal email address (something similar to [email protected] for example).
The dilemma that I have is that I have to use the [email protected] email address to sign into my iTunes account to purchase anything from the iTunes store and to view all of my past purchases from 2004 to present; yet all of my iCloud services (keychain, photos, etc...) are setup using my .mac email address.
When I log into my [email protected] AppleID (the account that has all of my iTunes purchases) I try to change the email address to my .mac address and it will not allow me bc it says it is an apple owned domain.
Is there any way possible for me to merge these two accounts so that I can have one singular email sign in for all of my iTunes and iCloud services?
Thanks
-KrisThat account expired
Can I keep my MobileMe email address once I move to iCloud?
Only if you have an active MobileMe account when you sign up for iCloud, you can keep your me.com or mac.comemail address and any email aliases you have created and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, and calendars, as well as your bookmarks, to the new service. When you're ready to make the move, go to www.me.com/move.

IPhone syncing restoring issues between 4S and 5 and iCloud issues between send & receive addresses
First question: I just bought the iPhone 5 and I am trying to sync/restore all of my information (docs, data, photos) from 4S to the 5 via iTunes and iCloud but it will not let me do it. So how can sync all of my contacts, photos and documents (especially important text messages) from the 4S to 5?
Second question: I also want to know how can I stop sending and receiving messages from BOTH phones! I have two different companies and two different phone numbers but both phones share the SAME iCloud account? Should I have created a new one when I first activated the 5?
Please help I've only been an iPhone and iTunes user since November 2012 and I don't know what I am doing!!Apparently you must be very narrow minded. I don't want to develop an e-mail client from the scratch.
I would implement the sync the following way.
Assuming I use POP3 on both my iPhone and my MacBook. On my iPhone mail client I am downloading e-mails and reading them from time to time and replying. There is an ended set of what you actions you can do with your e-mails. Every e-mail has a unique ID / fingerprint - you can recognize it with 100% accuracy. I'm also downloading e-mails on my MacBook mac mail and performe the same ended set of actions on this e-mails. So the system architecture should be as follows:
1. MacBook mail client queues all the actions I have performed with my e-mails on my MacBook.
2. iPhone mail client does the same - creates a queues with actions I have performed on my iPhone.
3. If I have the syncing turned on on both of my devices and I'm logged in on both of them with the same Apple ID both devices process the queues to my iCloud, compare it and update status of my e-mails according to the actions in each queue.
So I will rather wait until Apple will do this simple solution. -
Outlook 2013 and Icloud issues.
To whom it may concern,
I use to have Windows 7 32 Bit and Office 2010 synced with my icloud and it worked wonderfully.
I made some changes in to my operating system and changed to Windows 7 64bit. Also I went ahead and updated to Office 2013.
Lately, I been having issues with the calendar synchronization between my Outlook 2013 and My iPhone 6 calendar and contacts. I went ahead unclicked the "contacts, calendar, and tasks (with outlook) Tab from the Icloud menu. a few second later, I proceeded to re click on the same tab to add this option previously mentioned and after clicking on "apply" a window pops up prepping a download of 0 of 10 items and inmedialy I get an error that says "Your setup couldn't be started because and expected error"... and my options are: report, try again or cancel.
After uninstalling icloud several times and reinstalling I decided to report this issue and so far have not heard back from anyone.
If anyone can help... would be greatly appreciated it.!
Thanks,

I'm having numbers and iCloud issues
Does anyone know how I can get numbers on my iPad and numbers on my iPhone to sync? I keep trying to turn on iCloud on my iPhone and it is on for about a minute then automatically shuts off. Any help would be appreciated
Are you having problems or performance issues?
I'd really not worry about what that utility states, if your computer is running well. OSX manages memory exceedingly well and it cleans up RAM whenever it needs too. Some times it doesn't release all the memory from a program because the library may be used again and it will be quicker to keep it there. Another potential issue is some applications including apple's have memory leaks. memory that isn't released but is "lost" this is caused by bugs in the software, safari for instance keeps grabbing ram but not releasing it. Closing the application typically resolves this problem.
I've not heard of the utility that you referenced and to be honest, I'd not really worry about. It is possible that the utility is not correctly reporting back memory consumption. Take a look at the activity monitor found in applications->utilities. It will give you a fairly good picture of the memory is being managed. -
ICal and iCloud issues on new BT ISP
My iCloud and iCal Calanders were working fine until last week when I switched to a new broadband provider (BT or British Telecom) and a new router supplied by them.
Now I find a small warning triangle in iCal next to my calendar name, clicking on it reveals an error message saying "The request for account "ICloud" failed. I have signed out of iCloud but I am now unable to sign back in, a message appears saying "you can't sign in at this time, try again".
iCloud syncing has failed on my iphone 3, MBP and my iMac.
I'm guessing this has something to do with my new WiFi set up or being on a new server with my new ISP. Unfortunately I do not know where to start to resolve this issue. Any advice?
I'm using Mavericks (10.9.5) on the iMac and 10.8.5 on the MBP. Help! this is affecting my work.I forgot about the home/sleep button hold-down option. Worth a try. --But it didn't work for this problem.
Still have the green app saying there are 26 (already read) messages waiting.
Any other ideas?
(and thanks so much for the quick replies!!) -

Command z doesn´t work on pages and other issues
Hi, I have a problem… I accidentally changed a table from inline to floating and IT DISSAPEARED!!.. sooo… I tried to undo mi mistake and cmd Z didn´t worked… sooo… I tried to do a new table and I couldn´t create a new one.
I restarted pages… Nothing...
I restarted my macbook… nothing...
I don´t know what else to do!!! help!!!
BTW: I have a late 2011 macbook pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5 with Pages`09 v 4.3
Thank you!!!Try opening the file and reverting to a previous version.
From memory in Lion you did that by command clicking up near the name of the file near the top of the window.
You probably didn't lose the table, just caused it to pop over and off the page because it didn't fit.

Anyone else having this problem where the Mail client on you Mac will not accept you new iClould account when you try to add you new iCloud account through the Mail preferences? I am running Snow Leopard.
I have similar symptoms.
The iCloud pane in System Preferences says "Starting..." and never finished.
Adding an account in OS X Mail prompts me for the Incoming Mail Server, even though it recognizes it as an iCloud account. Leaving leaving the field empty results in Mail unable to connect to the server.
Clicking on Mail in the iCloud web interface tells me I need to create an @me.com email address by enabling Mail in the iCloud System Preference.
I am using an existing MobileMe account (previously a .Mac account) which is my AppleID. -
Facebook contacts and icloud issue
Let me get these specs out first, 5s with 8.1.1. Ive contacted apple and since its not their app I understand so Im reaching out to the community for help. I have my icloud contacts on my phone but with facebook they are supposed to be linked together including profile pics. Had this on my android and its a fun feature I enjoy. Now my problem is this, they dont sync like they are supposed to. Each contact has that persons fb profile in the contact but nothing more. When I show all my fb contacts on my phone profile pics from users that I dont have saved with phone contact info, etc..that info shows up including pictures, but icloud contact info it just shows the grey box with initals. Cant merge them either from Icloud. Hope this made sense the way I wrote it. Thanks.
iCloud is only supposed to sync contacts in iCloud. It's not supposed to sync Yahoo, Facebook and Hotmail. Those are separate services which have their own sync functions you setup independently.

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
Thank you very much!!
Peace.Thank you Roger.
That's exactly what I was afraid of...
During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
Thanks a lot!
All the best...

Problems with Pages and Numbers using iCloud Drive on early 2008 MacPro, Yosemite
One of my computers, an early 2008 MacPro running Yosemite, will NOT save Pages or Numbers documents to iCloud Drive from within those applications. I see the little iCloud Drive error badge next to the file name in Finder after I try to save. However, on the SAME computer I can save Pages and Numbers documents to a local drive (e.g., to my Desktop) and then use the Finder to drag the documents to iCloud Drive successfully. Another computer, a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, has no problems using iCloud Drive to create, edit and then save Pages and Numbers documents stored on iCloud Drive. I have tried "turning off" iCloud Drive for Pages and Numbers in System Preferences on the Mac Pro and then turning it back on to no effect. I have also logged out of iCloud Drive on all of my devices (which include two iOS devices) and then logging back in to ensure that I'm using the same login id on all devices, again with no apparent change.
Any suggestions for my next steps in attempting to solve this issue? Is there any way to get more information about precisely what type of error is occurring? Hovering over the badge only shows "Error".
Thanks in advance.
JonFound a solution, but it is odd:
On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
Go figure ...
Hope that this helps someone else.
