TS3991 Mac Pages save to iCloud hangs on "Waiting"

I have installed Pages 4.3 on a MacPro(5,1) running OS X 10.8.2. I have configured the machine with my Apple ID for iCloud access. My bookmarks and notes are successfully syncing via iCloud.
However, when I attempt to save a new Pages document to iCloud I see a dotted-line icon of a cloud beside the filename with the text "Waiting." This text does not go away or resolve, and my files are not accessible through iCloud (neither through other devices or via the iCloud.com website).
How can I troubleshoot my Mac's inability to upload files to iCloud? All tips appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi MFDH,
There are some actual issues with iCloud itself, irrespective of whether the system is up and running.
On the Mac, there is a way to debug some of what is happening. You need to find the "ubiquity.log", which is written to by the ubiquity daemon, UBD. This will record any errors or miscommunication with the iCloud Servers. I believe "ubiquity.log" is stored under:
~/Library/Logs/Ubiquity/[username]/ubiquity.log
Hope this helps you start to figure out at least that iCloud itself is probably to blame.

  • Numbers Mac not syncing with iCloud (file status Waiting)

    Anyone else having this problem?
    Created a new document in Numbers on my MBP. Saved to iCloud but the status remains as 'Waiting'.
    I've unchecked and checked documents in the System Preferences/iCloud to try to reset but no joy. Don't seem to be able to force an update and it's definitely not showing up in iCloud (web or on my phone).
    Give up or persist?
    Thanks

    I am having the same problem on my iMac.  It was suggested to me to switch from my wired connection to my wireless connection.
    When I did that, all of my documents became synced!
    Just to make sure that my wired connection isn't blocking iCloud traffic, I switched back to my wired connection and everything works fine.
    If, however, I restart the computer or log out, I have to do the whole process again. (Switch from wired to wireless and then back to wired.)
    I am chalking this up to a .0 release.  Maybe this will be addressed in 10.8.1.

    I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first.  Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?

    That is Apple's statement:
    Using iWork with iCloud Drive - Apple Support
    Options for iWork customers
    You can upgrade to iCloud Drive today if you want to keep your documents up to date in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and you want to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature.
    You can upgrade to iCloud Drive later if you want to keep your documents up to date with your apps on iOS 7 or earlier and OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    Upgrade to iCloud Drive today
    To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows and set up iCloud Drive.
    If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows, and iCloud.com.
    Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature with iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, and iCloud.com.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
    Upgrade to iCloud Drive later
    Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.     If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.

  • TS3991 can i save documents saved on word to icloud

    Can i save doucments i have created on word and save them to icloud

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID, select Pages and drag your Word documents to the window to upload them into iCloud.
    After doing that, you will be able to edit your Word documents from any PC or Mac through http://www.icloud.com, any Mac with Pages installed and OS X Mountain Lion or later, and any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with Pages installed

  • I cannot find a document which I think I asked to save to icloud when I didn't have wifi so now only have .folder title and no content (pages document). How do I retrieve content?

    Back in September, I typed over a document, duplicated it and renamed duplicate. I think I then clicked save when prompted to save to icloud. At this time I wasn't connected to the internet. Now I cannot find the document but have found a .folder with the same name as the document I created but this folder is empty. Is there any way of retrieving the content of that original document created in Pages?

    I really don't understand.
    The menu item is available :
    Maybe, you didn't activate the tool :

  • ICloud pages to sync with my mac pages?

    My iCloud Pages doesn't operate like my Pages on my Macbook.  Is there a way to save the Pages document in iCloud and sync with my Pages on my Mac?

    Hi PBinHim,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are using iCloud Drive with OS X Yosemite and the latest version of Pages, the documents you create in Pages for iCloud (on www.icloud.com) will be available in Pages on your Mac.
    There are several specific requirements for using this feature, and these articles will give you a very helpful overview:

    Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting.  Applies for any of the Save options.  "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding."  Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files.  Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved.  I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

  • How do my boss and I share documents via iCloud? I log in as her to download a Pages doc, edit, then save to iCloud again but it does not save to hers. Even if I'm logged in as her.

    I log in as her to download a Pages doc, edit, then save to iCloud again but it does not save to hers. Even if I'm logged in as her.
    Thanks in advance!

    This only works if you add her account as your primary accoun on your device and enable syncing "Documents & Data" in "Settings >iCloud".

  • Frustrating  that either my mac can communicate with iCloud alone or my iphone , But the information on my calendar is not merging! My password on my yahoo account is according to icloud wrong , but it isn't ! Only pages and other apps could  be passed to

    Frustrating  that either my mac can communicate with iCloud alone or my iphone , But the information on my calendar is not merging! My password on my yahoo account is according to icloud wrong , but it isn't ! Only pages and other apps could  be passed to the i phone . The local store says I should pay for them solving the problem . I doubt they will listen to all the aspects before I search again and again (and pay again and again??) Allready been there many times, downloaded many things!!

    She was as frustrated as I and was going to kick the problem "upstairs."  She felt that by now iCloud had been out long enough for them to have resolved the issues without having to resort to fixes from the outside (so in essence, I would have to say that she agrees with you that they should be able to provide a resolution for their own software).
    I have more than just that issue on my MBP (iPhoto keeps asking me to "upgrade" everytime I open it, old Safari windows open when I restart or turn the machine on from a shutdown....I think it's possessed.  I'm able to do everything that I want to do, but it's very annoying....) and so I'll be working with her again when she returns to work on Monday.  I do have to say that she doesn't rush and has spent at a minimum 2 hours each night for the last 2 nights with me over the phone (talk about califlower ear!) 
    She had me do a reinstall of Lion last night and as far as I can tell, it fixed nothing....  

  • After saving pages document to iCloud on my mac I can't download it on my pc as pdf...

    hi! I've got a problem, after saving pages document to iCloud on my mac I can't download it on my pc as pdf... only pages available, when I do the same on iPad everything is fine... is there way to fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to open the documents on an iOS device before you can open them as anything other than pages documents.

  • How can I retrieve a Pages document from iCloud onto my iPhone?

    I create Pages documents on my computer, and then store them in iCloud Drive. (I don't use Pages for iCloud beta; I create them with Pages on my Mac, and then upload them to iCloud Drive.) I would like to be able to retrieve those documents on my iPhone. Is that possible? I think I have all the settings right in Settings: iCloud Drive is on. Within that, Pages is on. When I go to the Pages app on my phone, all I seem able to do is create documents (which then appear in iCloud in my Mac, which is good.) But I cannot get to the documents that I have stored in iCloud by using my computer. Maddeningly, I cannot seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Is it not possible to do what I want to do?
    Thank you very much.

    Yes it is possible -- but I don't have much help for why it isn't working for you. I just tried saving 2 documents from Pages version 5.5.1 on my Mac and was able to open the document from Pages on my iPhone. The only things I can think of is to insure both are using the same Apple ID and that when you save on the Mac your save dialog is set to save to Pages - iCloud or to iCloud Drive.

  • Auto Save to iCloud

    iCloud seams to be working fine on my mac and iphone. How do I set up auto save to iCloud so I can save stuff from Numbers and Pages to access on my iphone?

    In other words : iwork 09 on OSX will NOT sync, regardless of "documents and data" set to yes in icloud's controlpanel.
    You need to manually up- and download office documents via a Browser at ww.icloud.com/iwork. Once uploaded, they are in your iwork apps on iOS5.
    That is not entirely a bad thing. iCloud is having reliability problems. You should always keep an offline backup of any files in iCloud.

  • Can't open pages doc from iCloud on iMac

    I have been using pages v5.2.2 on my iMac (OS X 10.9.5).  I have saved several files on in the iCloud location, so far no problem.  I opened pages to access a critical file, clicked on the iCloud button, saw my file, clicked it and got the "The file "xxxxxxx.pages couldn't be opened."  Is there anyway to access this file??!!!  Help please!!

    One way to download the file to your Mac is through the iCloud website: https://www.icloud.com and click on Pages and find your file.  Click the file, it will open in a new tab, and click on the spanner icon, choose "Download a copy" (see spanner icon below)

  • When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.
