Pages docs created on iPad won't sync with macbook pro

When I create a Pages document on my iPad version 1... it appears on my MacBook - but remains permanently in 'updating' status - I have some on there that were created several months ago and cannot be downloaded.  If I create a doc on my MacBook, upload it to iCloud.. it syncs within seconds to my iPad.... but if I then edit it more on my iPad it appears edited on my MacBook, but again in permanent 'updating' status.  Can anyone help...or will I have to make the trek to the Genius bar?

Try saving any documents that you can and then deleting them from each device where possible. Go to System preferences> iCloud> manage and delete any iWork documents that you see there. Then go to each device and turn off iCloud documents & data syncing on each.
Once everything has been removed, you can then re-enable document & data syncing on each device. Add back a couple of documents (do not add any documents that used the same name as any documents previously) and see how it goes. Once it appears to be working correctly, you can then add back all your documents.
Whilst it won't help you recover documents that have already become corrupt, can I suggest you get into the habit of backing up your documents in the cloud regularly.

    I have updated all software on macbook pro, ipad and iphone.  Pages docs. synch on iphone and ipad but not on macbook pro.  I have set up cloud on all.

  • Calendar on Ipad won't sync to MacBook Pro

    The Calendar on my MacBook Pro will sync to my Ipad, but additions to the calendar on my Ipad will not sync to my MacBook Pro.
    I have followed all the directions  on the Apple Support page:  IOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer. All software is up to date.
    When my Ipad is connected to my computer and Itunes is open, I then select my Ipad, then the Info button. 
    Under Sync Calendars I see the statement "Your calendars are being synced with your Ipad over the air from ICloud"
    Icloud is turned on on both my Ipad and my computer.  The calendar application is selected in both places.  In particular under iCloud in the Settings app on my Ipad and under iCloud in System Preferences on my MacBook Pro.
    I have also made sure ITunes is open and both my Ipad and my MacBook are connected to power and on the same WiFi Network.
    I have read numerous posts on the web and none of them seem to help.
    If anyone can tell me ANY WAY to transfer Ipad Calender entries to my MacBook I would really like to know.  At this point I would be happy to learn how to do it when my Ipad is connected directly to my computer and avoiding ICloud altogether.
    Thanks for any Info!

    Here are a couple of thoughts:
    1.  Are you using the identical Apple ID and password on your MacBook Pro and your iPad?  Are they the same on both devices' iCloud account as well?
    2.  You might try logging into http://www.icloud.com using Safari on your MacBook Pro.  Check the calendar there.  Does it receive the iPad's updates?  If so, meaning the Safari's iCloud version gets the iPad updates but the MacBook Pro does not, you have isolated the problem to the MacBook Pro.  If not, meaning the Safari iCloud does not get the iPad updates just as the MacBook Pro does not get the updates, you've isolated the problem to the iPad.

  • IPhone won't sync with MacBook Pro

    My iPhone 4s won't sync with my MacBook Pro.
    Running Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
    iPhone 7.1
    iTunes 11.1.5
    Last time I synced was March 17.  Can't remember if there's been updates on the phone.  None on the laptop.
    I'm so annoyed.
    I've done the usual shutdown/on again stuff.  Just can't get it to work.
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    Nevermind.  After reading through a bunch of fixes, one suggested resetting my modem, duh!!
    I certainly know to do that when the laptop is acting up, had no idea that would fix the iPhone too!!
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • 'Pages' docs created on iPad1 won't open with iPad3

    I use my iPad with my band for notes and occasional lyrics. I created 'Pages' documents on my iPad 1 and my MacBook Pro. Now that I have an iPad 3, previous documents will not open. Why?

    Why? Hard to say. Are you using iCloud on the new iPad and is it setup on the new iPad?
    You can try quitting Pages completely and then restart the iPad. If that doesn't work, reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    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.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • IPhone 4s won't sync with macbook pro OS 10.7.5

    I'm Duane, and I'm frustrated.   My wife recently upgraded from iPhone 4s to 5s and gave me her 4s.   It used to sync ical very well until I purchased iCloud space.   I've deleted iCloud, but when I try to sync iPhone and ical (onMac Book Pro) I get this prompt: "The iPhone 'Duane…' could not me synced because this computers no longer authorized for purchased items that are on this iPhone."    Then I am directed to "choose Store > Authorize this computer."   Which I have done so at least four times, with no results.   Can you help me?

    Did you authorize your computer for all the Apple IDs used to purchase apps an other media on your phone (in Store>Authorize This Computer)?

  • My ipad won't sync with itunes, can anyone help

    My ipod tpuch and ipad won't sync with itunes even though they are recognised by my comuter. i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes but still won't sync. How can i get my equipment to sync with itunes?

    It has been shown there are problems with the latest update of iTunes and Windows computers. What you need to do is remove and reinstall iTunes, and make sure that you follow the steps in this support document exactly. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923. If you do not follow them exactly, you will just compound your problems. Once you do this, you should have no trouble having the phone recognized in iTunes.

    what to do if black berry bold 9900 contacts not fully syncing with macbook pro?

    thanks for the advice
    I have an I phone 4S that is having almost the same problem, and only some of the newly added contact of the phone are added to the address book, so not a big difference, and its not a solution to get read of all products only because we use apple.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select   View ▹ Show Log List   from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • Ipad Calander wont sync with Macbook

    Ok, after three hours and losing ALL my ipad calander entries I had to come here.
    I am trying to sync ipad entris with macbook pro. Everytime I do it, on the macbook, the events start and end one day later.
    I have time support on both devices and they both share the same location. I rad other forums here and made sure all the settings were the same. After hours of trying to figure it out, Ive lost ALL my birthday, work and bills due entries from my ipad.
    Im at the point now where I dont think its worth EVER plugging my ipad to the macbook as something always ends up getting deleted. Someone told me Apple products were user friendly. I am not convinced. What should be a simple sync has turned into something extremely complicated.
    Has anyone else had this problem and is there an actual solution? Or is yet anither issue with Apple products.

    PS. Im using an ipad 2 and Macbook pro10.7.2.
    And just to comment further, some single day events including bills and birthdays were suddenly spread over 2 days when syned. But it seemed to be totally random. Some stayed the same date, some jumped forward a day and others became 2 days!
