Renaming new files in pages for iCloud

When I create a new blank file in Pages for iCloud beta the file is named blank. There is no obvious way to rename it. If I close the document and then try to restart Pages for iCloud I get an error message stating that pages can't be loaded.
This seems fundamental so I presume it is addressed somewhere.

That is what I thought would be the way to do it. However it seemed the only way to see the file selector window was to close the file I was working on and and then hit the pages for iCloud icon again to get the file select window. However, pages refused to reload. I was left with checking the iCloud files on the Mac. I changed the file name there. It sees to me the online and iOS versions of the program should allow for naming of the file from within the files editing window just as can be done on the mac version.
Thanks for the follow up. I guess I just need to figure out why pages for iCloud wouldn't relaod. I suspect it needs to be closed first and that must involve more than closing a window. That begs the question of how the web based program is closed.

  • HT202999 Performance of 1000+ Files in Pages for iCloud Beta

    Has anyone been able to load more than 1000 Pages documents in the Pages for iCloud beta? I get a loading page that never actually loads.

  • How do I change the default save location for new files in Pages back from iCloud to my Documents folder?

    I just upgraded OSX to Mountain Lion and Pages to 4.2, and because OSX is syncing with my iCloud account, when I go to save a new file in Pages it defaults to try to save to my iCloud account rather than giving me the folder structure on my hard-drive that I prefer. It requires two extra steps to save to the proper place in my Documents folder on my hard drive.
    Is there a way to reset the default so that when I go to save a new file, the folder structure opens to the last saved folder (like it does in other non-iCloud applications) rather than defaulting to my iCloud, and to do it without just removing documents from my iCloud account entirely?
    I checked the Preferences for both Pages and iCloud and found nothing about this.

    What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
    Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
    iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
    If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

  • I cannot get pages from iWork's to share.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion?

    I cannot get pages from iworks to share on Mountain Lion.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion instead of iworks?

    You need Pages 09 (Version 4) to take advantage of Mountain Lion's iCloud features. You don't say what version you have.

  • Pages for iCloud beta did not save my changes

    Hello,
    I'm trying to figure out how to save changes when editing documents in pages for iCloud beta as today I've lost all of the amendments I made to my coursework. I logged in to iCloud using windows PC and IE 10 at work in my lunch break to do some of my coursework. After the best part of an hour I stopped working and logged off of iCloud. Now I've signed in to my ipad and the document is saying it was last updated yesterday so, thinking its a sync problem with my iPad I have logged in to iCloud on my laptop and can see that it's not a sync problem with the iPad and that nothing I did today has saved. Does anyone have any idea where I've gone wrong and how I can ensure I don't lose any work in the future?
    Thanks
    Emma

    I have been wondering about this absence of a "save" button, too. I tested it just a while ago, editing a Numbers spreadsheet in iCloud beta, and adding a large image that I knew could not immediately be saved. I then chose [name]/Logout, and Numbers for iCloud beta warned that he document had not yet finished saving. So if you wait for the save to finish (although I saw no notification that it did, eventually the file was saved), you should have no problem. Hope it works for you.

  • Can we edit simultaneously in Pages for iCloud and Pages for OS X?

    I know that it's possible for multiple users to edit a document in Pages for iCloud (beta). But what happens if one user is using Pages for iCloud, and another person is editing the same document in Pages for OS X? Will the changes be updated in real time? Is there a danger of creating two different documents, as sometimes happens in Dropbox?
    I ask because Pages for Mac still offers more features and tools than Pages for iCloud. So some users may be able to work in the iCloud version, but at least one of wants to use the OS X version to make the final graphic tweaks and edits. Is this possible, or are we asking for trouble by using two different editions of Pages?

    Well... it looks like you were right. While Pages for iCloud theoretically supports simultaneous editing, in actual practice it's very difficult. There's no way to add comments or chat (as Google Docs allows), so it's hard to discuss what each of us is doing. And certain UI elements work differently in the OS X vs. iCloud versions, so results can be unpredictable.
    iWork for iCloud will only succeed when all versions of the iCloud apps (OS X, iOS and iCloud) are 100% compatible with each other. Fingers crossed.

  • Is there anyway to find a new font on Pages for iPad? The letters are hard like a rock when you use foreign languages like Thai. The fonts on device do not support foreign language.

    These are user to user help forums.  To tell Apple you want more fonts for Thai, go here:

    But I suspect this is likely one of those things for which you will always have to use a full computer rather than a iPad.

  • Pages for iCloud beta won't load on my MacBook Air

    For about two weeks now I have not been able to open Pages for iCloud beta on my MBAir - I can open keynote and numbers beta - they load in about 2 seconds.  Pages beta was slow - the average load tiime was 65 seconds...now it I just get a spinning wheel -  the longest I experimented was 11 minutes and it sitll did not load.  Every few days I try it again. Fortunately I can get my iCloud docs by loading my regular Pages and command-open and it I get a template asking if I want docs on my computer or in iCloud - everything loads there in a nanosecond.  But the Beta is dead for me.

    Pages is now working on my MacBook Air!  It is much improved from the last time I was able to load - still not perfect as it is still in beta mode, but great!...I created a multimedia document on my iPhone and once again, decided to fire up the Pages beta on my MBAir.. et voilà !  it loaded in just a few seconds and there were all my documents, including the one just created!  YAY!
    Still needs the facility to edit anchored objects [a photo this time] - but says that is coming!
    YAY!

  • Are there any problems saving files in Pages for iPad?

    I have a new iPad, and I need to chose a wordprocessing App. Friends have advised me that there may be a difficulty saving files from Pages. If so then is there a recommendation for a different wordprocessing App ?

    I use Pages every day on my iPad. I have had great success with it.
    I use it with iCloud, and I use it on my Mac. I have created documents on the Mac, saved them to iCloud, opened them on the iPad, edited them there, saved that back to iCloud, opened them in the IOS Beta in iCloud.com, downloaded them to my Mac at work, and so on and so on...
    I have used Pages every way that you can possibly use it with iCloud, iCloud.com, and locally on my Macs. No problems whatsoever.
    Pages documents are saved automatically on the iPad as are all documents in all apps - at least as afar as I know. You do not have to actually save them on your own... no Save As... no Save commands at all in tha app. They are saved automatically with the last set of edits that you make in place.

  • Renaming a file in pages?

    Hello,
    I am running mountain lion 10.8.5 and just want to rename this file
    Thanks!

    Select Save As from Pages' File menu. When the File Save dialog opens change the name then click on the Save button. Or you can locate the file in the Finder where you can also save the name of the file as it is on the drive. Select the file, press RETURN to activate the name field, enter the new name, click on the RETURN key again.

  • How do I make a new folder on Pages in iCloud?

    My Pages in iCloud has many documents which I uploaded one at a time.  How do I create new folders and move the documents into them?  I don't see an option to create new folders anywhere.

    Pages can create a new folder from the Save.../Save As... dialog. By default there is a button in the toolbar with a  ▲. Click this button and the dialog expands. At the bottom, you will see a button labeled, “New Folder.” You should have an idea where you want this new folder to be placed.
    There is no mechanism within Pages that will permit folder deletion. That is the purview of the Finder.
    The simplest way to remove a folder is to drag it to the Trash (and empty the Trash). You should be absolutely certain that the folder contents are expendable or archived before you do this.
    The alternative method is to control-click the folder destined for removal. A contextual menu will appear. Choose the “Move to Trash” menu item.

  • Is there a way to create a file upload page for uploading large documents to a ftp site in Muse?

    I am building a site for a printing company and wanted to know if there was a way to build in a ftp file upload page or button?

    No that is not possible with Muse alone. YOu can host it on Business Catalyst and upgrade the hosting plan to at least the webMarketing plan for general uploading. If it requires each user to have their own profile etc, then you will need to use BC webApps

  • Renaming a file in Preview for Mavericks

    When I try to rename a file in preview (File -> Rename) and I start typing the input box just gets overwritten I can't see the file name anymore:

    Bug:
    Bug 2:
    Also the only way to get it to work is this new "Tags" drop down with the arrow, but there A) no key command to get there (terrible UI) and B) you can't save it once you are in.

    This sounds like a bug from the install. I use Mavericks and do not have this problem. I suggest reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871
