Pages for iPad and iMac?

I installed pages on my iPad Mini.  I am setting up a trip report template to use on an upcoming trip.  Thought it would be easier to set up on my iMac but realized that I might have to purchase Pages ($19.99) for iMac.  I have used Word (for iMac) for years.  Should I stick with Pages on iPad and develop my trip report there?  Will I be able to transfer trip report to iMac later?  No problem purchasing Pages for iMac, just wonder if it is necessary.  Thanks. 

Without Pages for OSX, you would be left with transferring the files between two formats, which could prove to be problematic, depending on the complexity of the spreadsheet (formulas, pivot tables, conditional formatting, etc.). Take some time to experiment a bit, both with importing and exporting the file from the iPad, and possibly settings it up from scratch (or reworking it after the import). A relatviely simply spreadsheet may not present a problem in any scenario, but without knowing the specifics of your template, its hard to say. I have found that using Pages for OS X is a bit less combersome for personal files than Excel for MAC in conjunction with the iPad (but have been able to make it work for some business files to a degree).

    Hi!
    I have bought pages for ipad and i want it in my mac pro and for my macbook, but when i go to the app store it says that i have to pay for it again. Do I have to pay for pages again for my mac pro?

    Yes, iPad and Mac programs aren't the same even when they have the same name.

    You need to create and restore a backup to transfer the application data.

  • Changing Document Title in Pages for iPad and VoiceOver

    Is there a trick to changing the name of the document in Pages for iPad when voiceover is enabled. I can change the document name when voiceover is turned off but there doesn't seem to be away of getting to the label when voiceover is turned on.

    What makes this difficult is that I can export the documents in PDF format, but then I cannot view them in Pages on the iPad as they cannot be uploaded into iCloud and Pages cannot access documents in other cloud storage sites. Pages uses the Word templates best.
    I've considered Quickoffice, but don't want to spend the $$ on an app that may not work.
    I've even thought about Team Viewer and accessing the documents on my Mac at home, but why remote access another computer just to view native files?
    Thanks for the responses.

    Thanks

    No, you have to buy the OSX version for your MacBook Pro from the Mac App Store.
    Pages for iPad (iOS) is different than Pages for Mac (OSX).

  • Same Wireless keyboard for iPad and iMac

    Can I easily and quickly use a wireless keyboard on a Ipad & a Imac? I can pair them but can't
    connect them. KST

    You can pair the keyboard to multiple devices. For example, my keyboard is paired to my Mac, iPad and iPhone.
    You can only use the keyboard with one device at a time. This means you have to "disconnect" not "un-pair" the keyboard from a device before "connecting" it to another device.

    Sorry, no. They are different version for different operating system, and will need to be purchased separately.

  • Best parent controls for iPads and iMac running on BT Home Hub

    Hi,
    Despite the great sounds coming from the big ISPs about parental controls, they're determined to make a really simple concept absolutely impossible.
    Firstly, I'm not trying to lock-down my family's access to the net, but I have two boys aged around ten, and being boys they're inquisitive, so are probably getting closer to stumbling across some seriously dodgy content... And I want to try to prevent that... It should not be hard. If I could limit the times they were online, just if browsing gets out of hand (they're kids remember) that would be a handy option as well.
    So on to the technical details... We have a standard BT broadband account that comes into a new BT Home Hub. This is currently our WiFi point. We run a laptop, two ipads, iphones and an ipod touch on Wifi, and have a desktop ethernet'd to the Home Hub. BT offer a downlaodable Family Protection package that allows user accounts to be configured, but this does not appear to work on an iPad or Touch.
    Very shortly, we're about to retire the PCs from family life and install an iMac. So we're getting into a properly Mac environment. I was also considering installing a Time Capsule for back-ups and had considered stringing this in series on the Home Hub, then networking all of the Apple devices off of the Time Capsule.
    Ideally, the controls would be at a us level, or at least by device. I've come across some App options, but this seems like an unecessary layer of proprietary complexity.
    So how Do we deploy parental controls? The simplest option, that BT have failed to realise, would be a network solution that filters everything coming into the house and stops it before it even hits the Home Hub - but that doesn't appear to be an option.
    So what options do we have? Any ideas? I had heard suggestions that I could manage user control via the Time Capsule, but that's proving hard to confirm.
    Happy to supply any further information to help with this query.
    In summary, how do I stop **** getting onto my boys' iPads/Touchs... Should be simple????
    Cheers, Mombee.

    Sorry, but the Apple routers do have any type of parental controls on them.
    If you have not already done so, you might want to take a look at the parental control options offered by OpenDNS.

  • Earphones for Ipad and Imac

    Hi
    does anyone know if it is possible to obtain earphones that can be used with both the i pad and the i mac, thanks very much

    I have these --- http://www.ultimatebuds.com/store/product.php?productid=16146&cat=0&page=1&featu red -- they use the same mic as a regular iPhone.
    And if you want to stop the buds from sliding off, with these headphones its more the annoyance of loosing then when I'm out on a run, not them ending up in my middle ear, wrap some Teflon Tape around the posts of the earphones before you put the buds on. This is the same tape you use to seal threads of pipes and around 99c a roll from your local hardware store. For these buds, it works like a charm and it amazing, I can hardly pull then buds off the headphones while before even looking at them caused them to come off!!
    Cheers

  • Pages for iPad and Mac

    Are there two separate apps? If so, I'm guessing users must purchase both in order to work on documents on both the Mac and iPad, right?

  • Pages for iPad and MacBook Pro aren't syncing...

    and I can't find them in iCloud.  It keeps asking me to buy them again, but the apps are on both devices.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    You're not doing anything wrong. Until Apple updates the desktop versions of the iWork apps to use iCloud you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.

  • How do you highlight text in Pages for iPad? The document I want to create and highlight is a pages document

    I am trying to create a document in Pages for iPad and want to highlight various bits of text but can not find a function in the inspector for this. Can anyone help,please?

    Hi stuartdj,
    I'm not finding a way to highlight text as one can do with iBooks (hold and swipe for black text, background yellow for example).
    One option is to actually color the text itself.
    Select the text, then in Style tools, tap the Font name at the top which shows the Text Options sheet where there is a Color option.  Would changing the font color to Red, Green or Purple accomplish your goals?
    If you do want black text on a colored background (highlighted) it would need to be text in a text box where you can change the fill (background) color.  Style, Style Options, Fill.  But this is not inline text and doesn't flow like just coloring the font itself.

    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.
