Pages isn't syncing between iCloud, Macbook and iPad

Hi,
Since last week, additions to and modifications of Pages documents aren't syncing between my devices over iCloud.
After writing a document on my iPad, the document will either display an arrow in the top right column to indicate it is waiting for an internet connection (internet is fine) or will display a status bar (which doesn't move).
Sometimes this document will appear on iCloud.com (even though it is displayed on my iPad as updating). Opening Pages on my MacBook will show in the iCloud documents window a doc with a Pages icon, an empty status bar and the title "Blank." I can't open this document.
The document doesn't appear in any form on my iPhone's Pages app.
When I create a doc with Pages on my Macbook, it sits in the documents window with the status "Waiting" though it will appear in iCloud.com (though not on my phone or iPad.)
I spent four and a half hours yesterday with Apple Support and we were unable to find a solution. I created a new account on my MacBook (which worked briefly - it doesn't now) and restored my iPhone (which didn't have an effect). We removed the mobile documents folder from the Library and various plists.
It seems that while my devices are sharing some information over iCloud something is preventing the full docs being downloaded.
All other iCloud services are working normally.
I am using a MacBook Retina bought in mid-January, 10.8.2, an iPad 2 iOS 6.1.2 and iPhone 4 6.1.2. The version of Pages on both phone and iPad is 1.7.2.
Any advice very welcome.

Syncing between my MacBook, iPhone & iPad.

My Contacts don't seem to be syncing any longer between my MacBook, iPad & iPhone. I've just updated to iOS 7 - could this be part of the problem?? Help!

iCloud may need a jump start ...
On the iOS devices, tap Settings > iCloud. Switch Contacts off then back on.
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Contacts then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

HT4990 Does Cards sync between devices (iPhone and iPad)?

When creating a Card on one device and saving it as a draft, will it sync via iCloud to other devices too? Same question for already purchased (sent) Cards?

My problem was that I had NOTES generated before I began using iCloud, so they were associated with a different email address that was set-up as a POP3 account and was not tied to my apple ID. As soon as I created a new IMAP account on both devices for that same email address the NOTES sync'd immediately.
You can see the email account that the NOTES are associated with by tapping on the ACCOUNTS button in the upper left of the NOTES screen.

How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

Contacts do not sync between Windows7 PC and iPad 2 and iPhone 4

Hi,
I have installed iCloud on my PC, ipad 2 and iPhone 4s and until 2 weeks back, all the data used to sync seamlessly between all the three devices. However, since last two weeks, my iPad2 and iPhone 4s does sync contacts, photos,etc between each other but my Windows 7 PC does not get the updated information. I have looked at all the settings on my PC but cannot seem to figure what could be the problem. On my Outlook also I have refreshed teh iCloud account multiple times, yet I do not receive the new contacts uploaded on iPad /iPhone.
Please help!!!!!!!!
Regards,
Aastha

What contact list is set as default on the device? Does the rest of Outlook sync properly?

I have many Word Docx and Excel spreadsheets. Can I transfer my PC docs and sreadsheets to the iPad, or will I have to buy additional software to have complete sync between my PC and iPad?

Can the ipad 2 sync with my PC docs and spreadsheets?
I am considering the purchase of the iPad 2, but I have mant docs and spreadsheets from years/decades of PC use.
Can I sync (upload my docs) from my PC to the iPad?
P.S. I know nothing about computers.

Thanks, Demo. You are right about iCloud, but it didn't work for me. I discovered the reason was a conflict with how my my mobileme account was setup ... a problem many others seemed to have. Apparantly both mobileme and icloud were attempting to back up my data, and mobileme turned off iCloud from Numbers setting every time I opened a spreadsheet. Once I deleted my mobileme account, icloud worked as it should. Appreciate your help. It got me to look for and solve the underlying problem.

Why aren't my contacts not syncing between my iPhone and iPad ?

I normally add contacts onto my iPhone and I noticed that the new ones are not appearing on my iPad contacts so I end up having to share them via messages or email. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks.

First things to check is to make sure iCloud is on on both devices and you are signed I n to the same account on each device. Also check to make sure Contacts syncing is on on both devices.

EPub books not syncing between Maverick iBooks and iPad

The books on my Mac won't sync to my iPad. I can read them fine on my laptop but can't transfer them. I tried moving the files to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/Books as was suggested somewhere here but they still won't sync. I cannot buy ebooks from the iBook store because there is none in my country; how am I supposed to read them on my iPad/iPhone?

Hey, calm down everyone.
There IS indeed a solution to this. You only have to do 2 simple steps that all your books are wirelessly updated no matter where you annotate them, on Mac with Mavericks or on iDevices running iOS7.
On Mvericks, the auto update feature is already set to be syncing. Go to the iBooks Preference > General and check the Sync Notes, bookmarks etc. This is a default setting. So there's nothing to do.
Then go to your iDevice and open up Settings > iBooks > Check the Sync Bookmarks and Sync Collections.
Then comes the magic. Everything will set up and sync automatically. Everything from notes, highlights and colections.
Voilla!

I cannot get my itunes to sync between my ipone and ipad

I believe to have all settings on both devices correct but I cannot get the music I download on either device to sync with the other. Suggestions?

Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

How do I sync Pages docs between my Macbook and a PC?

I want to sync Pages documents between my Macbook and a PC, for when I don't have the Macbook with me. I created a Pages file and saved it to iCloud, but it doesn't appear in the iCloud Pages web interface, even though other docs created in the web interface do.
Sorry to ask such a basic question, but I can't figure this out. If I'm working in Pages on my Mac and save the document, it's like it goes someplace different than when I create a Pages doc on the web interface...
Seriously confused, and not understanding how this works. Apologies for being such a beginner. This is really the only thing I want to use iCloud for.

Thanks, Rick. I have identified another part of the answer -- my husband and I both use this MacBook. We have separate IDs and iCloud accounts. But apparently only one account is allowed to store iWork files on iCloud. Apparently when his iPhone was set up, or maybe when he borrowed the MacBook for a business trip, or when he took some pictures with his new iPhone -- who knows how or when -- the storage capability got attached to his iCloud account on my computer. I started to sign him out, then was told that if that was done, the photostream would be deleted.
At this point the complexity is beyond ridiculous. We have 3 Mac devices, two computers and a phone, and I can't figure out the logic behind this limitation. I wish I had spent the hours that were invested in this effort in something more productive. I don't think iCloud is ready for primetime yet.
