Saving a TextEdit Doc to iCloud

Can you save a TextEdit (RTF) document to iCloud from a Mac?  If it can be done, in what format is it saved, where is it saved, and what IOS app can you use to retrieve it on an iPad or iPhone?
I would be writing the TextEdit on a Mac with OS X Maverricks.  The iPad and iPhone run IOS 7.
Thanks for looking and taking the time to answer.

Yes, you can save to iCloud from TextEdit, but the saved file will only be available to TextEdit on other Macs logged in to the same iCloud account - not to iOS devices.
There isn't an iOS version of TextEdit to load it into, and iCloud Documents and Data are sandboxed to the same app across devices.

  • Saving MSW or TextEdit docs to iCloud - where are they for retrieval?

    It does not help being ignorant about iCloud, but I am.
    I was saving a transcript in TextEdit when the iCloud prompt screen appeared indicating I could save it there. Because I have no idea where it can be retrieved, I saved it as normal, which is not a problem for me whatsover because I have a meticulously operated IMac with specific folders to save all my documents for various organizations including personal files Something I have done for over 10 years without any problems when it comes to retrieving files for later use. My IMac and MacBook are not lacking storage space. Have lots to spare.
    Ancient users like me from the past century may not be catching onto iCloud like I should. I went to a Mountain Lion workshop but it was mostly an overview, no specifics. I found out that Apple has 3 new programs that simulate MSW Office documents. I have a sense that MSW Office files are not compatible with iCloud storage.
    Okay! I need help to better understand saving files to iCloud and where on my system is iCloud to retrieve them? And, upon doing so, when I go to my MacBook, can I retrieve the same files on this device?
    Dummy #1, for sure! Your patience and understanding will be most appreciated. Look forward to your assistance.

    It will have been saved in your Home/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~TestEdit/Documents folder.
    But remember:
    In Lion and Mountain Lion that Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • "Waiting" under docs in iCloud

    I use iCloud to store my Numbers and TextEdit documents.
    I have used only .22 GB of space so far.
    I have a several Numbers & TextEdit docs in the cloud of my MacBook Pro.
    The most recent docs have the word "waiting" underneath it.
    The docs open OK on my MacBook Pro; but, I don't see them in the cloud
    my Mac-mini.
    What gives?
    Thanks in advance for advice.
    Bob
    Both running OS 10.9.5

    There shouldn't be a Save As... option in the version of Pages that is compatible with icloud.  There should be a "Move To..." option available.  Pages is version 4.3.

  • Why can't I save my TextEdit doc??? No permission.

    I'm finding it impossible to save a TextEdit doc. I created it afresh from scratch and now it says I don't have permission to save it. Is this ridiculous when i am the ownber and the only user on the machine???
    See attached screen shot of error warning.
    When the doc is not even saved yet, how on earth can I select the file in Finder and change its permissions so I can save it????
    This seems ridiculous to me.
    Also, how can I change my entire computer system so that it stops asking me to authenticate every little thing, such as moving a file from one folder another? It's tedious and unnecessary. I understand for installations etc, but just moving files around??? Sheesh.
    Many thanks in advance for any help offered to overcome this long-standing frustration with Mountain Lion.

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Can I use Safari to edit Numbers doc on iCloud?

    Before getting Numbers, I need to know more about how it works with iCloud. I see that iCloud has a section called "iWork" with a tab for Numbers. I assume that if I have created a Numbers document and saved it in iCloud, I will see it on the page shown by clicking on that Numbers tab. I also know that I will be able to edit the document from an iMac, iPhone, and iPad. My question is, essentially, HOW can I edit a Numbers doc in iCloud? More specifically, can I open the Numbers doc and edit it directly in Safari while navigating iCloud, like a note in Notes, or must I always use the Numbers program/app to edit a Numbers doc saved on iCloud?
    Of course, I will need to buy Numbers to create a Numbers document in the first place, but can I then edit it in Safari by opening the doc in Safari on the iCloud web site?
    If I must always use the Numbers program/app to edit a document, then what, if any, functionality does iCloud provide for Numbers docs beyond that provided by DropBox?
    Same question for Pages.

    Louie,
    iCloud is, in theory, better integrated. That assumes all the latest software on all platforms, OS and Numbers.
    Dropbox seems to me to be more stable than iCloud, but that's just my impression.
    iCloud is just the messenger that moves the documents between machines. Safari can not be used to edit an iWork document. Connecting to iCloud with your browser a;;pws you to view and manage the files stored there, but doesn't give you content editing tools.

  • I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only

    I saved a PDF doc in adobe and then added text to the form. But every time I try an email it it only sends the original form without text. Once I've changed a doc in Adobe, how can I save it so that I'm able to use it with added text and notes? Also, I'm using a new iPad.

    If you are using those apps or websites, they are likely viewing the PDF using iOS' built in PDF previewing, which will not show annotations and markup to the PDF. We have informed Apple of this issue, but do not have any insight into whether or when they will fix it.
    Regarding the qustion about importing pictures, Adobe Reader does not provide any capabilities to import pictures into a PDF. To do this, you'll need to use Acrobat, available on your desktop computer.

  • If I delete docs from iCloud off of iPhone 4s, will it delete it from the iCloud in general? aka will I still be able to pull up from my MAC?

    If I delete specific documents and data from my phone, using my phone b/c its staying icloud storage is full & my phone is freezing up....will it actually delete the docs from icloud so that when I use my MAC, they will be gone as well?  Not sure if it is deleting from phone or iCloud for computer too.
    Also, I don't want documents on my phone - when I save them from computer to iCloud, it seems to go there anyway & take up storage I need to run phone.
    argh
    thanks for help, I am horrible with technology so excuse my basic questions

    What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.

  • HT204053 how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

    how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?

    When you migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud your email is transferred to the iCloud server, including all folders on the server.
    However your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion.) Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email. Please see this page:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • Is there a way to create a batch export of pages docs from iCloud?

    I have been using Pages pretty much exclusively for the past couple of years. The new, crippled version has put an end to that.  But I have about 1000 docs in iCloud that I need to get out of iCloud an onto to some usable platform like Goggle Docs (which does seem to keep improving, unlike iWork). I suspect that Automator or Applescript may be able to do this, but I'd appreciate any pointers.

    If you synchronize Notes with iCloud, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Notes. If you sync Notes with another mail service, disable that in the Internet Accounts or Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane. You may be warned that notes stored on the server will be deleted. If you trust your backups, confirm. Leave the window open.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.apple.Notes" selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash, then restore it from a backup that predates the unwanted change. If you back up with Time Machine, enter it and select the snapshot from which you want to restore.
    Log out or restart and empty the Trash.
    Re-enable synchronization in System Preferences, if you disabled it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages incompatible with icloud.  If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad.  Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.

    I have the original ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages 1.7.2 and backing up to icloud.  If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad.  Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.  Is there anyway stopping icloud from changing the version and is there a way to recover the old version of the document on my ipad?

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • HT204394 how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud

    how do i put microsoft word docs onto icloud so that i can transfer to my mac book

    Not really.
    You can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your PC.
    Open Pages and drag the Word document in or click the Gear on the top right and upload.
    This will convert it to a Pages document. It will be accessible to you through iCloud and the Pages app on your iOS devices. You can always redownload the file from iCloud as a Word document.
    As with any document conversion, this may alter the formatting.

  • I saved a Pages doc yesterday and today I can't open it because I get a message that the doc is missing an index.xml file. Help!

    I saved a Pages doc yesterday and today I can't open it because I get a message that says "can't open doc because an index.xml file is missing."  Help!

    Pages v5 documents do not have an internal index.xml file. When you attempt to open one of these with the older Pages '09, you will get that dialog. Double-click the document icon, or right-click, and open with Pages v5 to access the document contents.

  • Preventing saving of pdf docs in X Pro

    Hi
    Is there a way to prevent people saving a pdf doc onto their hard drive in Acrobat X Pro? Perhaps by removing the 'save' feature or toobar etc, or any other way? The aim is so that people won't email a confidential document to others. (I know about the password encryption etc, but the probelm there is they can send the password to others - which basically defeats the purpose).
    Any answers will be very much appreciated.
    thank you.

    thank you.
    is there not a way of making it 'read only'?  Wont that help?
    What are these DRM solutions and which would you recommend?

  • HT4847 how do i transfer my docs to icloud, does it work like a dropbox

    how do i transfer my docs to icloud, does it work like a dropbox

    You can only transfer iWork documents at present, and only if you have an iOS device with ate least one of the iWork apps on it; in which case you go to the iCloud website, to the iWork page, and drag the documents there. It's not intended for backup, or syncing between Macs, only for allowing your iOS device to edit your documents.
    iCloud does not offer general file storage: for that you will need a third-party solution. This page examines some options:
