Pages for the ipad

I purchased pages for the ipad through my itunes account on my macbook pro. I have an original ipad version 4.3.3 (8J3). Pages will not sync to the ipad although the version I have appears to be compatible. Any ideas?

I participated in a similar thread pasted below. It should work for you. I have the original iPad running iOS 4.3.3 and I recently updated Pages with no issues. Read this thread.

Apparently restoring or recovery mode worked for two of the posts in this thread. Before doing either of those, have you tried to download the app directly onto the iPad? The download is too large for 3G so you will have to use WiFi to download. I always download directly to the iPad.
You will not have to pay for it again, just download it directly to your iPad and see if that works.

How can I use Dropbox with pages for the iPad?

TO make a long story short, a thunderstorm fried my desktop iMac which was the computer I was sharing my Pages documents with. I don't have an AirPrint compatible printer and I need to be able to print documents that I create in Pages. Since it might be 6 months or more before we can replace the old computer, I would like to use DropBox to share files between my windows computers and the ones at where I volunteer. I was told that Pages for the iPad was compatible so how can I make this work for me?

Adding images to the header & footer in Pages for the iPad

How do I add images i.e. logos into the header and footer in Pages for the iPad.

I do not beleive Pages for iOS allows insertion of images into the header or footer, just the background of the page body. It can however be placed behind the header. (Tools icon (wrench - upper right of screen) > Document set up

Exporting transparent pages for the iPad

Confusing.
Baffled.
So bear with me as I attempt to explain what I'm so earnestly trying to figure out is even possible; and if so, how to do it..
I'm attempting to export an epub for the iPad that contains images [without a background] from Photoshop. In Photoshop, the layers build on top of one another. (Think of physical transparencies printed out with different images and as they stack on top of one another they build a conglomerate image)
So in theory, I want to export these pages from InDesign as transparencies, that when the page is turned on the iPad, you can see through it as the images stack on top of one another.
It seems confusing to me because of the front and back of each page in InDesign.. It's like dealing with two pages instead of one. For example, in a facing pages layout, if I had an image on the 3rd page [lets imagine that's on the right in the layout], would the 4th page [on the left] be showing the transparent side of the 3rd page? I just want it to be read as a literal transparent page [the 3rd and 4th page conglomerate] that you can see through to the 5th.
Is this possible? Do I need to set a certain transparency option in InDesign when I export?
Or is this just not feasible..
Please help.
I'm lost.
Thank you

You're saying you want your epub to look as if it's printed on transparent acetate? I don't do epub, myself, but I don't think that's going to happen.If it were possible, you'd have to specify an opaque page (the equivalent of a piece of white paper) for all "normal" pages to keep them readable, and that's just something ID is not set up to do.
ID simply doesn't care what sort of stock you print on. What is on the page is what will output to the medium on which your doc is printed (ID is first and foremost an application designed to make layouts for print). Nothing is genreated in terms of background other than what you yourself might add. A PDF is theoretically has no additional white background, but Acrobat displays one so your desktop doesn't show through. I imagine the same thing happens with epub readers. If no background is specified, the reader provides something.

I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air. I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up. (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions). BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document). So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer. I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop. I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)? do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move? Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
Thank you in advance.

Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
Sorry, for the confusion.
Removing documents from iCloud:

You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

How do I zoom in and out in Pages for the iPad?

I'm using Pages on my iPad (1), but don't seem to be able to zoom in. The "pinch open to zoom in" doesn't seem to work, it just springs back when I take my fingers off the screen. Am I missing something? I have no problem zooming in using pinch open in e.g. Safari or Keynote.

I can get two options — Actual size and fit on screen. According to the help section if you use 2 fingers and 'quickly' pinch out you can get a view at 200 per cent. It has never worked for me.

I have pages for the iPad 3 and it does not seem to sync with the cloud

I have the newest pages, an iCould account, an internet connection and every other possible thing. I have been troubleshooting this problem and I cant seem to get it working. Is anyone else having these issues with the iCloud syncing?

Do you have:
Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data > Documents & Data > On
Is your network working for everything else? eg Mail & Safari?

How can I automatically insert a date in Pages for my Ipad

Is there any way to automatically insert the current date in a letter using Pages for the IPad? If so how?

It is no possible.
An alternative is to create a Page file with password in Pages for Mac, and save it to iCloud, then open it on the iPad using the password in iCloud.

You should also be able to access your docs (even without the Pages app on your iMac) by logging into iCloud.com and using the Pages for iCloud beta app via your browser.
(By the way your iPad uses iOS and not OS X)

Pages for the mac & iPad Separate??

I bought pages for the macbook & i just bought an ipad only to discover that I have to re-buy pages again. Whats the point

Its' because its two different operating systems. It'd be the same if you wanted Pages on your mac and your PC (yeah, doesn't run on PC but it's the same idea)
A day may come when you get one with the other, but as of now you don't.

Yes. They are different

I just got Pages for my iPad. I am learning Mac. I spent hours on a document last night. This morning the document is there but it is completely blank. Did I somehow delete content? If so! What did I do? Is there any way to retrieve this document????

I'm not sure what happned either but If you are doing this via iTunes, iTunes should have backed up the iPad first. It can take a good bit of time when you update with iTunes on your computer because iTunes downloads and installs the entire iOS all over again. If you are running iOS 5 on the iPad, and you will be now, you can update OTA via WiFi in the future and the process takes far less time since you will only be downloading an incremental update.
If you are syncing on a regular basis with iTunes, you should have a recent backup. In the worst case scenario, you should be able to restore from the backup. And as stated aboce, you can download all apps again and virtually all purchased content from iTunes (if you live in the U.S.) and you can always sync your iTunes library back to the iPad.
Let the update finish and see where you are then. Come back if you need help.

I updated my Mac to Osxmaverickx and numbers to the newest version. I change a numbers page on the mac. Try to open this doc via icloud on the ipad 1. Apple suggest me to update to the new numbers software. This is not aviable for the ipad 1.

I installed the new numbers on the imac.
I updated a simple spreadsheat.
Tried to open via icloud on ipad-
Apple suggest to update to the new numbers. This is not aviable for the ipad 1.
1) Why Can Ipad 1 users not open icloud docs created by the new numbers on the mac ?
2) What's the use of mobile devices when they don't work
3) Can I open this docs via a google application ?

Drag...
Where did you get your copy of numbers on the mac? You best go back to your old version of numbers on your mac.
Perhaps it's something to do with icloud. try dropbox. Try running the spreadsheet through NeoOffice calc on the Mac.
It's the world of software. When you use vintage stuff, you need to get more creative or spend money on an upgrade. Apple is lacking in the legacy world.
Now you be the time to come up with a backup plan for your mac.

Keynotes, pages ... for the ipad

I was just wondering, i know they said these are available but i just wanted to know if they where looking into allowing people to write, drawn directly on the ipad. I think that honestly the keyboard is stupid and they should really work on maybe making a pen for the ipad. I think it has the possibility of being a great tule.
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Let me know of what you guys think.

Chris, You are correct. Thank you! The iPad needs to be in Portrait orientation in order to use iPages. My mistake was that the iPad has a lock switch on the side that allows you to lock in an orientation. I had the landscape orientation locked in. And that is why the iPage application did not work. I think Apple needs to correct the iPages program to work with the landscape view too, else others may have same problem I did. I was showing the iPad off to my guests at our Easter gathering when this problem showed up.
