Pages on iMac

Greetings,
I have a problem with Pages on the iMac. I work away from my office on the iPad with Pages. These doc’s sync to iCloud with no problem but Pages on the iMac cannot see them. Both are using the same apple ID as is iCloud. I cannot see why this would happen. Both the iPad and the iMac are running the latest OS from Apple . Does anyone have an idea why the Mac won’t sync with iCloud? This problem is causing a lot of problems work wise.
Many thanks
Mike

Hi mikehr,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that it can be frustrating when you cannot access updated documents across all of your devices. There are some troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please read over the attached article and work through the steps to help isolate and resolve the situation.
iCloud: Troubleshooting Documents in the Cloud
Updates made on your Mac
Check the iCloud system requirements and make sure that you're using the latest version of Pages, Numbers, or Keynote.
In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, confirm that you're signed in to iCloud and the Documents & Data checkbox is selected.
Confirm that the document is in your iCloud Documents Library: Open the application for the document and choose File > Open. Make sure the iCloud icon on the upper-left side is selected. If your document does not appear in the list, navigate to your document in the Finder. Drag your document from the Finder window into the Open documents window. You should see a small cloud icon and "Waiting" appear under the document icon. When the document has been uploaded to iCloud, a date appears under the icon.
Cheers,
Joe

Can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

can i use iCloud for pages documents iMac?

Hi lmdavis72,
It looks like you can.
From "iCloud: Documents in the Cloud overview"
You can download a document from icloud.com/iwork to your Mac or Windows computer, edit it, and then drag the revised version to icloud.com/iwork. It’s then automatically updated on all of your iOS devices. You can also drag an iWork ’09 (Keynote, Pages, and Numbers) or Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, and Excel) document created on your computer to icloud.com/iwork.
So it looks like it can go between iOS devices and your iMac.

How do i sync pages from iMac to iPad. I am new to mac and this is confusing

how do I sync between IMAC and IPAD. I just downloaded pages into my IMAC and I can not figure out how to download it onto my ipad2. I do not want to download the product again for $10. i was told that this is handled in itunes but i can not figure it out

You got some bad information if you think that you do not have to buy Pages for the iPad and you think that it will work without it.
You have to purchase Pages for the iPad as well as for the Mac. You cannot install any computer program on an iPad - Mac or Windows applications will not work on the iPad. You will have to download and install the iPad Pages app or you cant sync files from the Mac to the iPad and the other way around.

Transferring "Pages" from iMac to iPad

I downloaded Pages to my iMac, can I transfer and use it on my iPad or do I need to purchase it for the iPad too?

Thank you all for replying. I read the terms and sure enough, I will have to purchase it for the ipad as well.

How do I transfer pages from imac to macbook?

I have a new to me MacBook and wish to have just pages to create documents. I have already purchased Pages for my iMac.
Any suggestions?

The App Store version of iWork ‘09 programs will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the Work ’09 DVD which will run on 10.6 on eBay fairly cheap. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p4684.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=iwork+%270 9&_sacat=0&_from=R40
Check the table under versions in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IWork

How to set up syncing pages band iMac 10.8.5

How do I set up syncing Pages documents between an ipad 8.1.3 and an iMac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5?

The version of Pages running on iOS 8 will create Pages 5.5.2 format files, which require Yosemite, so I suspect that you can't synch the two.
Let Apple know what you think of that.

Safari incredibly slow in loading pages on iMac

I am finding that my web pages are taking ages to load on my iMac but not the MacBook Pro

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed. Any change?
If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
Stop plug-ins to save power
Any change?
Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
Follow the instructions in this support article. Any change?
Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Pages for imac and ipad

I just bought the 27 inch imac and also have an ipad. Do I need to buy separate versions of pages for both or can I buy it once and use it on both?

Do I need to buy separate versions of pages for both or can I buy it once and use it on both?
That is true for all apps, by the way. OS X and iOS aways require different versions.

Pages for iMac

I have just got an imac and pages is missing from the apps... Is there another word processor on the imac? I have already purchased pages for my iphone and ipad so does this mean i have to purchase it again for the imac? i hope not.

If it is a brand new Mac Pages (and Numbers and Keynote) should be available to download free from the Mac App Store, accessed from the Apple menu. More info here:

By using the App Store within iTunes. Then synchronize your phone.

Pages causes iMac to shutdown

Hi. I have a very infuriating problem with my iMac randomly shutting off while typing a paper in Pages. I haven't had to type a paper for a while, but during my first paper of the semester, it shut off while on the third page. I also remember it doing this a lot before, during a previous semester. I would be writing, and without warning, it would just turn off. Its not overheating, cause I monitor the temp with SMCfancontrol. The only thing that I can find amiss in the console is a message: "Not the Finder!". I do not know what this means.
I have the older generation of the iMacs, the 20" aluminum intel-iMac. I have not had this problem while running any other software.
Does anyone else have this issue?

I don't know what "Not the Finder!" means either, but I do have a couple of things you might try.
First, try using Pages in another user account. If you don't have another account, go to System Preferences > Accounts & create one.
If that works, go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & restart Pages.
It's a good idea to have a second admin account anyway, in case something happens to your main one. I have a couple of admin accounts & one "standard" account for testing & "just in case."

Pages on IMac , the templets are in spanish how do i get into english

on IMAC..the templets on PAGES ar e in spanish, how do i get these in english

No they are not. Are you English or American?
It is Latin quotes from Cicero and it is just placeholder text to show what you get when you click on it and replace it.
So the answer is do exactly that and type whatever language you think it is you speak, in its place.

Pages from iMac synced to iPad not found by iPhone 4

Seems odd that the doc I created on my iMac can not be seen with my iPhone 4. The doc was "added" from my hard drive to Pages in iTunes with my iPad running OS8 in Apps tab. The iPad was Synced from my desktop. On the iPad>Settings>iCloud>Backup I selected "backup now". I used my iPhone 4, 7.1.2 selected Pages and could not find the doc–on either the iPad OR the iPhone. Am i missing something?

Hi minnehaha,
It is not quite clear how you are attempting to to the transfer of your document from iPhone to iPad, but this article should give you some help in getting this resolved -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Having trouble linking text boxes in Pages on iMac

I can't seem to link text boxes so that text flows from one to another. Has the process in Pages changed in the new update? Any advice? Thanks!

All versions of Pages v5 have omitted the ability to link Text boxes.
