Pages update Dec 2012. MBP not syncing with iCloud.

I desperately need some MBP/Pages help. Since two days ago coincidentally when I update Pages for MBP and iPad, if I update a Pages document on the MBP it continually says 'Waiting'. So I login to icloud.com and see that the docs are not changing but the iPad 1 is fine - edit a doc and it changes at icloud.com within seconds. Yes, Documents & Data are checked in iCloud within System Prefs. There is one slight concern even though Mail is syncing, I have noticed that in Sys Prefs> iCloud, Mail is always unchecked. If I check it it stays checked until I close Sys Prefs. Got any ideas? It's driving my nuts and has almost consumed 5 hours of my life that I will never get back.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any quick way to download all of the files from iCloud. What I would do - and I just tried this myself to make sure that it works - is to log into iCloud.com in Safari. Click on Pages and you will have access to all of your files. You can select each file and then download them by clicking on the settings icon (gear icon) in the upper middle portion of the screen. If you hold down on the shift key while you click on the documents, you can select multiple files to download.
You will have to gauge how many documents you want to download at a time. If you have high speed broadband, the process will go much quicker that if you have some dreadful DSL connection.
You can also launch Pages on your Mac and copy the files from the iCloud section and you will get a prompt that says that the documents will be removed from all synced devices. So if you do it this way, you will be downloading the files to the Mac and removing them from iCloud at the same time.

  • Pages on my iPad is not syncing with iCloud

    Here is the story
    I have an iPad 2 - I use Pages on my iPad and macbook and save all my Pages documents in the cloud - I have approximately 1,000 documents. I have plenty of memory available on the iPad. A month ago Pages kept struggling to open on my iPad. So I deleted it from my iPad and reloaded it. Now it works but it is not syncing anymore - all the documents are there but most of them are greyed out.
    In the top right hand corner of pages it says 'updating 995 documents'. This has now been going on for over 2 weeks. I have been to my local apple store who have said the only solution they can think of is for me to copy all of the documents from iCloud to my macbook and then empty iCloud and start again. This would be a nightmare! They reckon the iPad is clogged up and not able to update all the documents. I am not convinced of this - this issue has happened before - about a year ago - and Pages had no problem syncing fairly quickly.
    Any suggestions?

  • Pages not syncing with iCloud

    I am trying to figure out, why pages is not syncing with iCloud. I have Documents checked in the System Preferences of iCloud on my Mac Book Pro, I have Documents checked on my iPhone and I have the Pages app.
    Can someone shine some light on this issue?

    The desktop/Mac OS X versions of the iWork apps have not been updated to take advantage of iCloud yet. In the meantime you can go to iCloud.com, sign in & click the iWork icon where you can upload & download files. You could also try e-mail or Dropbox. Hopefully we will see those updates, maybe even a whole new version of iWork, soon.

  • ICloud Calendar will not sync with iCloud

    I am at a complete loss here.  I have my work MBA running Yosemite and connected to my iCloud account.  I also have a personal MBP, iPhone and iPad, all running the latest OS and Patch, all connected to my iCloud account.
    For 98% of it, it works and syncs perfectly.  Except for the calendar on my MBA.  Calendar works and syncs perfectly everywhere else, MBA works perfectly with iMessage, FaceTime, Contacts, Keychain, etc, etc, etc.
    Basic troubleshooting I have performed:
    Rebooted MBA (obviously)
    Attempted to remove calendars from syncing with my iCloud account (unsuccessful) - will not remove calendars.
    Attempted to remove entire iCloud account from MBA (unsuccessful)
    i have signed out everywhere on my MBA, when I go to System Preferences > iCloud and attempt to sign out, it fails.
    When I go to Internet Accounts, iCloud keeps coming back as "INACTIVE" with nothing checked.
    When I go through all the apps, Calendar is the only one that shows the iCloud data (iMessage shows me as signed out, same with App Store, iTunes, FaceTime, Contacts, etc)
    Rebooted MBA multiple times throughout the process, to no avail or difference
    Performed a repair install of Yosemite through the recovery console
    After repair install, iCloud calendars still show up, even though my iCloud account under System Preferences shows me as signed out
    After repair install, signed back into iCloud to see if I could re-sync calendarsiCloud shows me as signed in and Calendars as successfully setup
    Upon launching Calendars, i get the spinning wheel in the top left of my calendar app and new calendar items created on the MBA do not sync with iCloud (website or other connected devices)
    Created new calendar item on other devices as well as iCloud website, calendar item never shows up on MBA
    So, aside from a complete format of the hard drive, can anyone think of any options I haven't tried?  Or some way to completely reset one app (such as Calendar)

    Needed to add some clarification here:
    iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
    Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

  • Calendar does not sync with iCloud

    I have an iPhone 4S with the latest iOS. A month ago I started a brand new iCloud calendar (every other were deleted). It was working fine, when I launched the app, it synced in 2-3 seconds. But a few days ago it does not sync with iCloud, there is the running circle in the upper line and nothing happens. The interesting thing is when I try it with Wi-Fi, it works, albeit really slowly, under one minute. I did not change any setup. Has anybody an idea?

    Hi Firend,
    In my Calendars app, I selected all calendars to be shown. In Settings, Calendars settings are set: New invitation is turned on, Sync is turn all events on, and Calendar Default is set Calendar From My PC.
    It is working well for long time.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • Outlook not syncing with icloud on iphone

    outlook not syncing with icloud on iphone?

    Also make sure you are using the same iCloud account on your PC and your iPhone.  Go to Settings/iCloud on your iPhone and check the account email address.  Then check the iCloud account on your PC.  If you have a Windows PC, click on the iCloud icon in your system tray to see what icloud email account you are logged into.
    I changed the email on my iPhone and. iPad, but forgot to change the email on my PC and my calendars wouldn't sync.  It finally dawned on me that I forgot to change the account on my PC.

  • My iphone is not syncing with iCloud

    Hi, i have just noticed (it may have been going on for a few weeks) that my iPhone 4 (IOS6) will not sync with icloud.  This has not been a problem in the past.  If I put a new event on the phone, it is not shown on icloud and vice-versa.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Try Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [scroll down to the Contacts area] > Default Account.
    Is this set to "iCloud"?
    Do you have such a setting (Default Account)?  Frankly, I don't ... all my contacts have been in iCloud (only) for years.  But I'm thinking you do have this setting based on this article:

    Check the model number by holding down the option/alt key while selecting About this Mac under the Apple menu. Select System Information and it will tell you the model number.  Compare it to:
    Model Number - iMac
    You can then check against the link mende1 provided.
    If you then go with Niel's suggestion, you can check here.

    You also might want to check applications compatibility since neither lion or Mountain Lion support PowerPC applications.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.
