Pages won't sync between computers in iCloud drive

Since I upgraded to iCloud Drive, I can't get my documents to sync between my laptop and desktop.
Before I upgraded, I could write on the laptop and it would sync with the desktop and vid-versa.
I upgraded to Yosemite thinking this would solve the problem. it did not. I upgraded to pages 5.5 on both. Still no success. Any ideas, or is this something you can't do on Drive. And if you can't, is there a way to go back to the old Cloud? I hate moving files manually -- always afraid I'm writing over the wrong thing.
Thanks.

Hi matthewfromconifer;
The following would be helpful, I suppose:
1- Make a backup of iCloud Drive docs (for precaution) .
  2- Go to System Preferences > iCloud
  3- iCloud Drive > Options. Uncheck all the applications listed.
  4- Turn off iCloud Drive.
   5- Delete the CloudKit folder from:
          ~/Library/Caches
   6- Restart the Mac.
   7- Turn on iCloud Drive
  This completely resets iCloud Drive and downloads a clean set of data from iCloud.
Regards,

  • ITunes won't sync between computers!

    I have two macs, one a late 2010 Macbook Pro that I use for University, and a Mac Mini Late 2012 that I use whilst at home.
    I buy most of my music from the Mac Mini, but when I come to listen to it on my MBP, it won't sync! It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
    I've tried all the normal proedures; turning everything on and off again, going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing! It says everything is synced up nad its not! Very annoying!
    I look forward to anyones earliest reply,

    Correct. iTunes does not sync between computers.
    It doesn't happen the other way around because today I purchased something on my MBP and it synced fine to the MM.
    You mean it automatically downloaded.
    going to Store > Check for Available Downloads but still nothing!
    Because it has already been downlaoded.
    It says everything is synced up nad its not!
    You mean it says everything has already been downloaded (not synced).
    On both computers...
    iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Music under Automatic downloads.
    Now when you purchase on one, the other will automatically download (not sync) new purchases.

  • Pages won't sync between iPad and Macbook

    I cannot get my pages to sync between iPad and Macbook.
    I regularly go back and forth between the two because it's easier to read/edit on iPad and easier to type/copy-paste web info on Macbook.
    I'm finding right now that I have done a multitude of edits on my iPad that are not showing up at all when I open the same document on my Macbook.
    I have closed the document on my iPad so I expected there to be no problems when I opened it on my Macbook.
    Not sure why or what to do....?

    I had this issue too - I have been playing around with it for a few days - turns out you need to save the documents on your mac not under "documents" but rather under "Pages - iCloud" (or "Keynote - iCloud" etc.). After doing this, the document appears on my phone, iPad, iCloud.com etc. with the changes.
    One way to do this is by clicking the dropdown arrow (it shows up when you mouse over the title) to the right of the title of your document on the grey title bar (the thing at the top of the page - above insert, table, chart etc.) and then editing the "where" column.
    Hope this helps! If it isn't clear enough, please let me know!

  • ICal won't sync between computers / iphones

    Since I started my free trial with mobileme, I have been trying to synch calendars between two desktop computers and two iPhones. No luck.
    I have established a number of calendars on my me.com account, using my iMac. I also share these calendars with only those people I invite. I can see these calendars on the iCal on my iMac, but I cannot see these calendars on my MacBook Pro iCal. When I open an email on my MacBook Pro, alerting me to the Mobile Me calendar, I cannot join that calendar: "You can't join calendars you're sharing."
    So how can I get all of the calendars to sync between both computers? If I resolve that problem, maybe the iPhone sync will resolve itself.

    I got some help from MobileMe Support. Here's how they solved the problem.
    On the laptop, open iCal and click the word iCal at top of the screen. Choose Preferences. 2. Click Accounts. 3. Click the plus button at the bottom of the page. 4. From the "Account Type," please choose "CalDAV." Enter your full MobileMe email address, including the @me.com suffix. If you don't include @me.com, the setup will not be successful. 5. Enter your MobileMe password. 6. For the Server address, please enter: cal.me.com 6. Click the Create button.

  • HT204053 icloud won't sync between computers

    I bought a film using my apple ID on my laptop, and it won't download on my other machines (mac Mini at home, iPhone, iPad) although I connect with the same Apple ID.
    Can you help?

    The film studios need to agree to it for a particular country before re-downloading will be possible there, but it is gradually improving (for a long time it wasn't possible anywhere, and then it was just USA, and now more countries are being added) -  what can be re-downloaded where.
    There are a number of ways that you could do it e.g. copying it to a flashdrive and then adding it (File > Add To Library) - though this page is specifically about music, the same principles should apply to films : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 e.g. if both computers are connected to the same wifi network then you should be able to copy them via home sharing.

  • I Have a new iPhone 6 and my contacts, calendar and notes won't sync between my imac, macbook air, iCloud. The three are fine, but the data won't reach my new iPhone 6. OS Yosemite, iOS 8.1.1

    Thanks!

    Hi vichochile,
    If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Any way to sync between computers?

    I can't sync my Tungsten E2 to my Vista 64 computer.  But I can sync to my XP Pro computer (32).  Is there a way to sync between the computers?  Or to use the files on the XP on the Vista 64?
    Thanks,

    View Solution.

    You cannot sync between computers, What can be done though, to get the data from your E2 to the Vista 64 bit PC is to sync by bluetooth. You can check in your device manager to see if the PC already has bluetooth installed. If it does just find the bluetooth port on your PC, put the E2 a couple of inches away from the PC and in hotsync manager choose to hot sync by bluetooth. If you don't have bluetooth already installed on your PC you will need to purchase a USB bluetooth dongle, install the drivers that come with it and then sync. The first time you sync it could take a little while depending on how much data you have on the device.  Hope this helps.....

  • Pages won't sync any documents correctly in iCloud

    I have a macbook, an iPhone and an iPad. The Pages in macbook won't sync any documents correctly in iCloud. It shows me my documents saved in iCloud in Pages, but I can't see any documents in another devices.
    Also I can see my documents which are created with another devices in iCloud, but when documents are created or edited from the iCloud they will not be shared with the iCloud or other devices. If a document already in iCloud is opened and edited on my computer it will disappear from both the computer AND iCloud. Numbers and Keynote are working %100, and I don't have any problem with them.
    Please tell me what should I do.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Thanks, I had a similar problem in that my files on Pages for iPad, iPhone and iCloud would not sync with Pages on my Macbook Pro. Deleting the "Ubiquity" folder and rebooting made everything work together properly.
    I use Pages everyday for work and this has been a big help for me.
    *Edit*
    This also solved the same problem I was having with Numbers.

  • 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.

  • ICal won't sync between Leopard & Tiger computers

    So, I'm loving Leopard on my Intel iMac and iBook, however the work cpu is still on Tiger for technical reasons.
    Problem: My iCal on the home computers doesn't sync with my work machine..... Am I doing something wrong (do I need to reset something), or is this a 'known' issue?
    I appreciate any info... (i'm having a tough time syncing my home/personal calendars! :))

    I found the solution last night -- and it involved resetting the sync data. I thought that I had already done this by resetting the sync data in the iSync application, but that was the wrong place.
    Here's what you should do:
    First decide which computer has your "master" calendar. For me that was the one with 10.4.11 on it, as I could get my 10.5.1 calendar events onto the 10.4.11 computer, but not vice-versa.
    Second, from the "master" computer, open up the .Mac preference pane, click on the "Advanced" tab, and then click "Reset Sync Data."
    When given the option, make sure that you use the data on your computer to replace the data on .Mac.
    Third, go to the 10.5.1 computer, and do the same thing (note that the .Mac pref pane is organized a bit differently).
    This time, make the sync direction go the other way -- from .Mac back to your 10.5.1 computer.
    Note that after clicking the "resent sync data" button, you are offered an option to limit things to just the calendars (excluding things like contacts, keychains, etc.). I recommend doing that.
    Note also that you might want to export the database from iCal (and/or Address Book) before doing this -- you can do that from the "File" menu in both apps -- it's just a good back-up strategy in case disaster strikes.
    That's it -- for me, everything synced properly between computers after doing these things.
    Note that there is an Apple Support Document I also found on this topic that spurred me to try this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301378
    Good luck,
    -Barry

  • Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

    I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
    Any ideas?!

    Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself.  When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.  Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now.  If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

  • Pages won't open documents stored in iCloud

    After a major crash of my iMac after installing Mavericks, I returned to my MacBook Air running Mountain Lion and installed Pages 9.0 (can't reinstall Mavericks on the iMac due to an extremely slow connection)
    Now the problem:
    Pages won't show me my previously saved Pages documents in iCloud under "Open existing files". (Actually, it won't even save new documents on iCloud).
    For info:
    "Documents and Date" is checked in iCloud system preferences.
    All documents show in Finder under an alias folder I created of the Mobile Documents. But I can't open them.
    Even "open with" will give me only Terminal as available app.
    The only document that will open was a document created after the upgrade to Mavericks on the iMac...
    Any ideas what is wrong?
    Thank you very much

    Apple has created a new unified file format for:
    Pages for iOS 2.0.1
    Pages 5 for Mac OSX 10.9
    iWork for iCloud beta
    iCloud
    Anything going through iCloud now gets converted to the new format.
    Pages 5 only runs on OSX 10.9 and can open Pages '09 files but often damages them. It can not open Pages '08 files.
    Pages 5 can export files back to Pages '09 but often with a much simpler format as Pages 5 is missing over 90 features.
    Pages for iCloud beta uses the new Pages 5 format but lacks UI and many formatting tools.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 files at all.
    Far from being a format for all it is a format for very few. It requires specific versions of all the software, running on only compatible hardware and operating systems.
    I do recommend you stick with Pages '09 just to get your work done and that you do not update to OSX 10.9 Mavericks. This means not being able to transfer files back and forth via iCloud to your iPad. The best you will be able to do is Export to Word .doc and email that to yourself.
    The whole arrangement is a rats nest of things going wrong. You are either stuck with the latest version of Pages with very few features, format that nothing else reads and all the bugs, or you use Pages '09 which works but will have it files screwed up by iCloud and can't swap files with the iPad version.

  • Stored passwords not syncing between computers.

    I'm trying to use Firefox to Syncronize data between computers. It was working, but somewhere along the way it has stopped. I now have three computers, of which I'm trying to have two of them synced together. I thought that the issue was account related, so I deleted my original account & had to create a new one (with a different e-mail address - I'd like to change that back if possible). Anyhow, now it seems as if bookmarks are synced OK, but my saved passwords are not. Given that I can't tell what the status is of a sync, it is hard for me to tell where the process is.
    So, I have one computer (a Macbook) with passwords on it that I am syncing and I have another (a new Dell Laptop), that I would like to have updated.
    What do I need to do to get my passwords synchronized?
    Thank you,
    Paul

    Make sure that you are forcing syncing by pressing Sync Now in your computers and allow some time (several minutes) to have all the information sent to the server and down from the server. If this still doesn't work, follow the steps in this blogpost to create a bug:
    https://philikon.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/how-to-file-a-good-sync-bug/
    This would be really helpful. I've seen other people having issues with passwords but I'm unable to replicate it.
