Pages for iCloud beta did not save my changes

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to save changes when editing documents in pages for iCloud beta as today I've lost all of the amendments I made to my coursework. I logged in to iCloud using windows PC and IE 10 at work in my lunch break to do some of my coursework. After the best part of an hour I stopped working and logged off of iCloud. Now I've signed in to my ipad and the document is saying it was last updated yesterday so, thinking its a sync problem with my iPad I have logged in to iCloud on my laptop and can see that it's not a sync problem with the iPad and that nothing I did today has saved. Does anyone have any idea where I've gone wrong and how I can ensure I don't lose any work in the future?
Thanks
Emma

I have been wondering about this absence of a "save" button, too. I tested it just a while ago, editing a Numbers spreadsheet in iCloud beta, and adding a large image that I knew could not immediately be saved. I then chose [name]/Logout, and Numbers for iCloud beta warned that he document had not yet finished saving. So if you wait for the save to finish (although I saw no notification that it did, eventually the file was saved), you should have no problem. Hope it works for you.

Pages for iCloud beta won't load on my MacBook Air

For about two weeks now I have not been able to open Pages for iCloud beta on my MBAir - I can open keynote and numbers beta - they load in about 2 seconds. Pages beta was slow - the average load tiime was 65 seconds...now it I just get a spinning wheel - the longest I experimented was 11 minutes and it sitll did not load. Every few days I try it again. Fortunately I can get my iCloud docs by loading my regular Pages and command-open and it I get a template asking if I want docs on my computer or in iCloud - everything loads there in a nanosecond. But the Beta is dead for me.

Pages is now working on my MacBook Air! It is much improved from the last time I was able to load - still not perfect as it is still in beta mode, but great!...I created a multimedia document on my iPhone and once again, decided to fire up the Pages beta on my MBAir.. et voilà ! it loaded in just a few seconds and there were all my documents, including the one just created! YAY!
Still needs the facility to edit anchored objects [a photo this time] - but says that is coming!
YAY!

Keynote is not responding. I have already worked on my slides for hours, but did not save; suddenly the application stops responding. What's the solution?

If you had never saved the file at any time, you have lost your work.
Go to; Apple Menu > Force Quit
Start a new presentation, and from now on, after adding the first object to the slide, save the file.

HT202999 Performance of 1000+ Files in Pages for iCloud Beta

Has anyone been able to load more than 1000 Pages documents in the Pages for iCloud beta? I get a loading page that never actually loads.

That is what I thought would be the way to do it. However it seemed the only way to see the file selector window was to close the file I was working on and and then hit the pages for iCloud icon again to get the file select window. However, pages refused to reload. I was left with checking the iCloud files on the Mac. I changed the file name there. It sees to me the online and iOS versions of the program should allow for naming of the file from within the files editing window just as can be done on the mac version.
Thanks for the follow up. I guess I just need to figure out why pages for iCloud wouldn't relaod. I suspect it needs to be closed first and that must involve more than closing a window. That begs the question of how the web based program is closed.

Firefox cannot load pages that other browsers can, but the 'help' page for this issue did not fix the problem.

I am troubleshooting an issue occurring on a family member's pc. Immediately after changing their "search" settings from "Yahoo search" to "Google search", they found that Firefox was unable to load any webpages. After troubleshooting the problem, I found the "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" help page, and attempted each of the solutions listed. None of those solutions fixed the issue. Also, I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox; the issue persists. However, the 'new' version of Firefox remembered the tabs left open when the 'old' version was deleted, so some temporary files likely persisted.
Are there any other steps that can be taken, or is Firefox on this computer no longer an option?

Start with this;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
If there is still a problem, go to that computer and do this;
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
Under the main banner, press the button; '''Copy Text To Clipboard.'''.
Then in the reply box at the bottom of this page,
do a right click in the box and select '''Paste.'''
This will show us your system details.

How do I add a comment to a cell in Numbers for iCloud beta like I can in Numbers for ios???

I can't be the only person to find it incredibly frustrating that it seems impossible to add a comment to a cell in beta. I use this function a lot on my ipad - is it really not available in beta?? And if not, why not??

Hey lolitajoon,
Thanks for the question. You are correct, comments are hidden from all iWork apps when imported to iWork for iCloud beta. Please note that the current release of Numbers for iCloud is a beta version. Therefore, certain features aren’t yet supported.

Can we edit simultaneously in Pages for iCloud and Pages for OS X?

I know that it's possible for multiple users to edit a document in Pages for iCloud (beta). But what happens if one user is using Pages for iCloud, and another person is editing the same document in Pages for OS X? Will the changes be updated in real time? Is there a danger of creating two different documents, as sometimes happens in Dropbox?
I ask because Pages for Mac still offers more features and tools than Pages for iCloud. So some users may be able to work in the iCloud version, but at least one of wants to use the OS X version to make the final graphic tweaks and edits. Is this possible, or are we asking for trouble by using two different editions of Pages?

Well... it looks like you were right. While Pages for iCloud theoretically supports simultaneous editing, in actual practice it's very difficult. There's no way to add comments or chat (as Google Docs allows), so it's hard to discuss what each of us is doing. And certain UI elements work differently in the OS X vs. iCloud versions, so results can be unpredictable.
iWork for iCloud will only succeed when all versions of the iCloud apps (OS X, iOS and iCloud) are 100% compatible with each other. Fingers crossed.

Renaming new files in pages for iCloud

When I create a new blank file in Pages for iCloud beta the file is named blank. There is no obvious way to rename it. If I close the document and then try to restart Pages for iCloud I get an error message stating that pages can't be loaded.
This seems fundamental so I presume it is addressed somewhere.

That is what I thought would be the way to do it. However it seemed the only way to see the file selector window was to close the file I was working on and and then hit the pages for iCloud icon again to get the file select window. However, pages refused to reload. I was left with checking the iCloud files on the Mac. I changed the file name there. It sees to me the online and iOS versions of the program should allow for naming of the file from within the files editing window just as can be done on the mac version.

No Pages 'Save as' dialogue in iWork for ICloud beta.

I have successfully created some Pages files in the iWork for ICloud beta. I have not saved them i.e., named the files as you do in Pages for iMac (Edit>Save). They appear as Blank 1, Blank 2, Blank 3 etc., in the Safari browser's tabs.
I know I can rename files in iCloud's 'My Document' web page. I also know iCloud will continue to track and save changes to these files.
I am a regular Pages on iMac user but cannot see where I can name the Pages file in the iCloud Beta version in the first place.
Thanks

Thank you Dave. I was afraid it was something as non-intuitive as that.
Although it is relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, the drift away from simplicity with silly stuff like this won't help Apple keep ahead of the pack. Who was it said 'Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple.'?

I have Nortons security suite under the old version the Idenity protection worked I kept all my passwords under this which used a master pasword I did not save passwords any were else and now can not get it to work supplying passwords for my l0gon site.

Symantec need to correct a mistake they made with their add-ons. They originally updated their add-ons after quite a delay to work with Firefox 4.0 as shown here - http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894
They made an error with the update in only listing it as compatible with Firefox 4.0, so they will not install on Firefox 4.0.1 and subsequent Firefox security updates. Symantec have indicated they will be releasing an update to correct their error soon, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-Toolbar-not-compatible-with-FF-4-0-1/td-p/442788/page/12

How can I get back a pages file and its backup if I did not save them to my documents?

Hallo community!
My mac got stock on a website because of a java update so I was forced to shut down the computer using the on-botton. Upon restarting my work on Pages I clicked on the file I was working on so as to open both the file and pages but the file wouldnt open. I checked if I had also saved the file on my documents to try to restart it from there. But this file comes originally from a USB which I dont have at this moment although I could kee on working on this file without the usb. The file is not my documents yet it shows on the last files-list of pages.
I cant open this file anymore, maybe because I did not save it to my files. Although this is strange because I even named another file I worked on along this first document. Enfin, the first file even has a backup according to the list but the backup wont open either. I don't know how to get this file back I am in big trouble If I dont get to open it soon! I hope somebody can help me. Anyone knows a trick or something!?

What version of Pages?
It sounds like it may be damaged.
You do not have to save to Documents.

Set defaults on a Numbers for iCloud beta spreadsheet?

Hi Everyone,
How can I set page defaults on a Numbers for iCloud beta spreadsheet? I want to have the size set to 100% and the Format panel hidden. At present I have to re-set these values everytime I re-open the file. I have loooked in help but can't see any relevant info. I'm running Mavericks.
Thanks, Dave. D.

Further to my post on April 23, I have noticed that when I save a numbers file on my Mac, all the changes I have made to things like the size, whether the format panel is visible, even the window extents etc. are all saved with the file. Of course this is what you would expect but in the iCloud Beta version there is no Save command so I assume that is why these things are not saved. Does anyone know if this is correct or if there is a work around?
Thanks,
Dave. D.

My iCloud Account did not change to my new Apple ID. What do I do now?

My iCloud account did not change from my old Apple ID to the new Apple ID, that I recently set up. What do I do now?

Roger provided you with the steps to get your new ID signed onto iCloud on your Mac. If you have any devices that still have that old iCloud ID still signed on, you will have to do the following for those:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your current ID and password, then change your Apple ID back to the old ID (the one that is still showing on iCloud). This is temporary so, do NOT verify the ID, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and sroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Delete Account. Use your current Apple ID passoword when asked. Follow the prompts to complete the deletion of the iCloud account
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to your new ID (you may have to verify it again)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple ID. Everything will be pushed back to your device from your iCloud account - it make take a few minutes
Cheers,

How can a recover a file I did not save?

How can I recover a file I did not save?

Or if all else fails and you think you had it in iCloud...
You won't find it via a normal search in Finder.
But in Finder you can try holding down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and look for an 'Untitled.numbers' document there.

I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my passwor

I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.

I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport
