Smooth integration of iWorks documents between iMac and iPad

I have an iMac with Lion 10.7,4 and an iPad 5.1.1. I would like to work with iWork files on both devices, and move the files between both devices. This seems simple but isn't. I've tried Webdav but can get it to run. I'm getting very frustrated with lack of integration. Please help. Why should this be so difficult?

Hi there,
There is a perfect solution for that: iCloud. I highly reccomend updating to OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. It's only $19.99 and has deep iCloud integration.
This allows you to save your documents to iCloud from within Pages. Then, that file will appear in pages on your iPad, you can edit it, and then it will automatically update on all your other devices which are signed in with that Apple ID, including your Mac. It's seamless, and you don't really have to think about it.
Here's a page all about it: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/documents.html
If you have any other questions about this, just ask, but for now iCloud is your best bet for syncing iWork files.

How to edit/share documents between iMac and iPad

I would like to edit documents on my iPad and have those changes appear on my iMac and vice versa.
I was hoping to use Office2 HD and Dropbox, but it seems that documents can't be saved back to Dropbox on the iPad. Everytime I try and save in Office2 HD I get a "this folder is read-ony" error.
Is this a problem with Dropbox or is it a problem with Office2 HD?
What work flow would people recommend? I was hoping to not have to buy the whole iWorks for both my iMac and iPad. I don't do that much of this kind of stuff and was hoping for a cheaper solution.

Thanks Angelus angel.
I think I worked out my problem. Because of the way the iPad deals with security you can't open a document directly from the Dropbox app into another app and then save it back.
Instead I had to setup my Dropbox details in Office2 itself. Now it works great!

Is there an issue opening Pages documents between iMac and iPad"

got the most recent version of operating systems and pages on both iMac and iPad; thought I should be able to open Pages document on both computer and device. am I wrong?

Make sure you are trying to open these documents in Pages 5. If you're using a Dock icon you had before updating, be aware that the Dock icons are not updated & will continue to launch the previous version which is still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork 09.

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times. I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Linc Davis,
I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account. I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa. I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync". I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP? I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
Thanks

Share iMovie project between iMac and iPad?

Is it possible to share and continue a iMovie project between a iMac and iPad?
Or the share is only possible between iOS devices?

In general the simplest way would be to store the document in iCloud, and use iCloud to access the document from both your iMac and iPad.
But your post above says you're running Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.4). Snow Leopard is now two years old. I'm not sure it supports iCloud.

Bluetooth between iMac and iPad

Both iMac and iPad are searching but not finding each other
Could it be that the Software version matters
iPad 5.1
iMac OSX 10.5.8

What are trying to achieve via Bluetooth between the two ? Bluetooth on the iPad is mainly for headphones and keyboards, not, for example, transferring content - supported profiles : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

HT1631 How can I share and sync passwords between iMac and iPad

I'm in password ****!!!! My memory is not what I once was and managing passwords on my iMac and iPad is making me crazy. The iMac is the home planet at work for the iPad and it use it all day... the iPad is my device of choice when at home.
The value of a strong password cannot be understated in these times!!!!
Is there an easy way to sync passwords between the two. I find I spend way to much time resetting passwords because I simply cannot remember them.
Again... and again... and again... is the story of my life.
Help

The following may help:
If you are using Safari on both devices and you have iOS 7.0.3 or later on the iPad and OS X Mavericks 10.9 or later on the Mac, iCloud Keychain may be what you want: iCloud: Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
There are other options available with 3rd party software. Two popular ones are https://lastpass.com and https://agilebits.com/onepassword

How do you make the actually open safari iCloud tabs sync between iMac and iPad?

I'm trying to have it so the web browser tabs I actually have open and viewing at any time, are synced between my iMac and my iPad.
This doesn't appear to work via iCloud Safari tabs, you just get the tabs open on your iMac as a list you can access on the iPad if you go digging through options.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Is it possible to sync mailboxes between iMac and iPad

I am trying to sync up my mailboxes between my iMac and my iPad. Using Apple Mail App on both devices. Using non-mac email on App. The only place I have previous messages stored is on my iMac. Is there a way to sync them up?

The folders that you set up in Apple Mail on the Mac are for local storage only and will not sync to the iPad.
If you had an IMAP email account, any folders that you had in the account on the server would have already synced to the iPad when you created the email account in the mail app.

Reading list sync between iMac and iPad for offline reading

If I add to reading list on my iMac, and then go to the reading list on the iPad, all is OK. I can read the items, but only if I am connected to the internet. Is it possible to set up reading list that means the content of the page is also somehow cached to the ipad? for reading off line... Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Wrong handling between iMac and iPad

I have got a problem of tranmission between my iMac (v. 10.9.5) and my iPad, first generation 5.1.1. which never occured before.
I must have done a wrong handling for I have 23 music albums on my iPad and 8 on my iMac. Means that I have « lost » them. I would like to put them back from iPad to iMac : is there a way ? I use iTunes 12.01.26.
Thanks for the help you can give me.

If they are iTunes purchased albums then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases in iTunes should copy them back - or you might be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage (or tick the 'shows iTunes in the cloud purchases' tickbox on the Store tab in iTunes > Preferences and they might show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against them for redownloading).
If they were not bought from iTunes, and you don't have them on your backup of your library, then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them back : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Transferring Albums between iMac and iPad Air iPhoto's

Images do not match between iMac and iPad

I guys, when I synch my iPad with iMac via iTunes, the folders with images that I´ve created on iMac do not match with images on the iPad. On the iMac I´ve a folder called Tattoo and inside several subfolders. On the iPad I just have the Tattoo folder with all the images inside but without subfolders. This makes hard to find an image among over 700 of them.
Any suggestion?
Tanks a lot!

You can only have one level of album within the Photos app - if you want to have separate albums on the iPad then the folders that you sync to the iPad must be directly off the same parent folder on your computer e.g. so if you select the 'Tattoo' folder at the top of the Photos tab under 'sync photos from' on your computer's iTunes each folder that is directly off it should get its own album on the iPad, but any sub-folders within those folders won't get their own albums.
