Viewing a document created on ios on my Mac with Pages 5.0 wihtout sharing via icloud?

I have Pages 5.0 on my ios device and Mac. When I create a document on my Mac in Pages it will automatically appear on my Pages app on my ios. But when I create a docuemnt on my ios it will not generate on my Mac. I'm pretty sure it used to do this before 5.0.
I know I can share my documents via icloud and pull it up on my browser, but I don't want to have to edit documents on my browser. I'd imagine there has to be a way of just using the Pages app and Pages on my Mac. Is there not a way to pull up the documents I created on Pages on my iso on Pages on my Mac?
It sounds like there have been problems with the upgrade to 5.0. As I mentioned, I believe that it used to automatically generate documens created on my ios on my Mac when my computer would start. Is this soemthign I could solve to downgrading. Or am I not doing something correctly?

It seems as though your documents are syncing to iCloud properly but don't seem to be making their way to your Mac.
Have you tried disabling pages in your iCloud settings, restarting your Mac then re-enabling pages in iCloud.

I created a spreadsheet on my mac with numbers, and now it tells me I have to buy a newer version of numbers to access the spreadsheet I created with the old program. if I wanted problems like that I would go back to using windows

Hi sar23,
You may have inadvertently created or edited the document in the new Numbers 3.0 (which is free; you don't have to buy it) and are now trying to open it with the old Numbers 2.3.
Both versions can be on your Mac at the same time, and can run at the same time. The icons are similar so it's easy to confuse them (old on top here, new on bottom).
The new Numbers 3.0 is in your Applications folder. The old Numbers 2.3 should be in a subfolder in the Applications folder named iWork '09 or similar.
If you accidently edited an old document in the new version and want to take to take it back to the old version, you can export it:

IOS doesn't preview .docx documents properly if they have been edited with Pages

Create or edit an existing word document (.docx format) with the latest pages on IOS. Preview the document in any IOS app (say, the Dropbox app or mail the document to yourself and preview in ios mail). Every line in the document will be ruled (more than underline--the line goes all the way across the page width). When you look at the same document with any app that can open and view .docx (the new Pages, which converts to pages format of course, or Documents to Go, which opens .docx natively), the document displays properly. Also, if you open the exact same document on a Mac using Pages or Word, you won't see the problem.
This is not consistent. In a trivial 3 line document I could not reproduce this. In a moderately sized document of 6 pages, my editing change in Pages was to format 6 lines as bulleted. This caused the problem.
Certainly a bug in either Pages or in the way IOS renders .docx files throughout the system. It's minor but it would be nice to fix. Probably not worth Apple complaining about use of Word after they made a huge todo about really achieving compatibility with Word in the latest release of iwork.

When you open pages in Preview you can also get the same effect on an imac.
Articles sent as docx and opened in windows either arrive blank or only display the information between the lines. This is a big screw-up by Apple which they don't appear to have an answer for, and I find it annoying that I had to pay Apple Support to find this out.
Posting off CVs for jobs has resulted in my applications being lost because of this quirk.

Using .mac with pages created by other apps

Is there a way to publish pages created by other applications to .Mac?
This may seem like a silly thing, but every year I run an NCAA basketball pool (all legal, of course). I have run this on my web site with my own domain, but would like to make the switch to my .Mac site. The software that I use to run the pool creates web files to upload to your site. With my old site, I would just create a page with a link to the pages, and upload everything. Is there a way to add files to your .Mac web folder somehow? Does this make any sense?

Sure there is...
Publish your files to a folder, then copy the whole folder to your iDisk/Sites/ folder. To get your iDisk mounted to your desktop, look under the Go menu of the Finder, then select "iDisk", then select "My iDisk".
For example....if you publish your b-ball pool site to a folder called "bball". Then copy this folder to Sites folder at the root of your iDisk. You can then, access the web pages at the following Homepages URL:
http://homepage.mac.com/yourdotmacname/bball/index.html (substitute your .Mac username and the appropriate start page name, of course).
That's it!
This is different from your iWeb site, but if you ever design pages in iWeb and publish them, you can simply provide a link on those pages to the above Homepages URL.

I have lost all my documents and previous downloads after syncing mac with my ipad4. Is there a way to retrieve the lost data. I have backed up my laptop on the icloud

I have lost all my documents and downloads after syncing my macpro with the Ipad4. I do backup my devices on the icloud can I retrieve the lost documents?

You lost them from the iPad, or from the Mac(Book) Pro?
If you lost them from the iPad, yes, you can restore your last backup from iCloud. Settings - iCloud - Backup - Restore.
Note that you can always re-download apps from the App Store, and music from the iTunes Store, for free, if they are accidentally deleted.

I only saved my document in PDF, can i open it with Pages again?

Hello,
I have saved my Pages document in PDF and i forgot to save it in Pages...can i reopen my PDF file in Pages again?
Thanks

I have a Pages v5.1 document that I placed a yellow text background (aka true highlight) on some text. I had one word that was red text with a black underline. Exported this to PDF.
Double-clicked the PDF to open it in Preview. Pressed command+A to select all 7 pages of text, and then command+C to copy it (as RTF) to the clipboard. Opened a new Pages v5.1 document, and pressed command+V to paste from clipboard. The yellow background and red text survived. The custom black underscore did not. Paste and Match Style will strip everything, including formatting, from the clipboard text. Not advisable.
You could also select the text in Preview, and from the Preview > Services Menu, choose New TextEdit Window Containing Selection, if you wanted the content in a different document (.doc/.docx, .rtf, .txt, .odt) format than .pages.

Problems viewing PDF documents created on a scanner using PDF version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x)

We multiple Xerox scanners and not all of them operate on the same version of software/firmware. 1 of our scanners uses PDF Version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x) when scanning a doucment to our network and 1 of our scanners uses PDF Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.x). When using Adobe Reader 9.x both documents open properly and are 100% visible. After upgrading to Adobe Reader X, the scans created using the newer version of PDF (1.6) have some missing text/images on the pages and have a grey "overlay" on the page. Again, Reader 9 will view both files properly, but Reader X will not. Any help is appreciated. I have fiddled around with several of the view settings to no avail. Thanks.

That is hardly a solution, the whole purpose of upgrading to Adobe Reader X is to avoid potential threats. There is obviously a problem with Adobe Reader X and veiwing certain documents that needs to be addressed and the way to address it should not reside with "Use Adobe 9 and Adobe 10 and pick whatever version works for your document"

How do you save a Pages '09 document so that it can be read by an older Mac with Pages '08 loaded

I am trying out a version of iWork '09 but can see no way of saving a copy of documents in iWork'08 so that someone can read the documents who has not upgraded can read the document.

You can read one of the many threads about Save As… no longer in Lion. It has been replaced with Duplicate then Save… which gets you to the same dialog box. This screenshot is from Save in Numbers, but it looks the same in Pages. Check the box next to Save copy as & choose iWork '08 from the drop-down menu.

Viewing folders on a mac with a pc on the shared network

Hi guys,
my friend and I are trying to share files over the network. he has a pc and I have a mac i have no problem viewing his folders that he shares however he can't view mine that I am sharing... Is it possible to rectify that?

Ok, figured it out... knew it would be a simple fix once discovered. Go to your Sharing settings under System Preferences. At the top of the Sharing box you should see your Computer Name. Just below the name to the right there should be an Edit button. Click the edit button and then check the box that says *Use dynamic global hostname*, then enter a hostname, user and password below. Go back to your pc, and refresh your network screen and you should see your mac. Hope this helps.

Cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading to Yosemie. Pages does not appear in the iCloud list in system preferences.

Upgraded to Yosemite. Upgraded Pages to latest version. Uninstalled older versions of pages (made with iWork '09). Now I cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading. I keep getting the same redundant message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store." Not sure if this is relevant, but Pages does not show up in the iCloud list in systems preferences.

Ok, I found pages on the iCloud drive. But the behavior of Pages is still the same, problem unchanged.

Creating PNG, TIFF or JPG graphics with Pages

I couldn't find anything addressing this, so if someone knows of something already, feel free to redirect me.
I'm helping a group out by creating a logo for them and I did so in Keynote and Pages. I know I can save as .pdf and then convert to .jpg or .tiff or whatever...
*But my problem is that I need the background to be invisible (rather than white). From what I've discovered, it needs to be a .png for that, but converting my .pdf to .png doesn't eliminate the background. *
This was never a problem creating things for myself to use on my Mac -because I can always alpha out the background if needed. But they have PCs and will be needing the graphic for all sorts of applications, including over colored objects. This is a free project and I have no money to buy new programs. Tried the Pixelmator demo but can't seem to transfer the image to it without blurring - plus without purchasing the full product there will be a watermark.
I realize if I'm going to do more design work I should probably get a design program - but I need something in the meantime to help me with this project!
Suggestions?

Sounds like you have worked very hard at this.
You may have some problems with rendering this though because with the shadowing iWork programs render it very crudely at 72dpi.
There are some quite simple drawing programs which have as built in features things like the text wrapping on lines.
I use the professional *Adobe Illustrator* which does require some learning but there are easier and much cheaper alternatives which you can use as demo for a month:

HT204053 how do I view, edit, sync documents with pages on iOS and mac

I can't seem to figure out how I can - find,edit,sync my documents that I have created on an iOS device or macbook, without going onto icloud.com/iwork?
Even if I download from the web onto my MBP edit content then how do I re-upload to icloud.
I have the documents and data checked in icloud preferences all apps and programs are up to date.
What I would like to do is like dropbox have a folder on my MBP that syncs with icloud which is connected to my iOS.
I have a dropbox account and can download a document to my iPad via pages review and edit but then cannot re-upload the newly edited version. This is frustrating and would be happy to use more icloud intergration but can't figure out how to get an iCloud folder in finder to sync with devices.
I hope that make sense
thanks for the help!

Currently any documents created or edited on your Mac, need to be uploaded AND downloaded via iCloud.com before you can share them with your iOS devices.
This is a user to user community, Apple are unlikely to read your comments, if you have any suggestions that you think might enhance iCloud you can send Apple your feedback here.

I duplicated a document created originally in new pages 5.1 and exported that copy to the older pages '09. I see the document listed in the old pages but my computer refuses to open it demanding I download the newer pages app... which I have. Now what?

I am able to open the document through finder, but I can't with Pages '09.

I have the latest operating system on my '09 macbook pro. My old pages is pages '09.
When this document was created I didn't realize I did it under Pages 5.1, which I now realize is limited in capabilities so it can speak to iOS devices through iCloud.
I duplicated that file, renamed it "Yardening copy" and exported to Pages '09. I see the file in the pages listing, but when I try to open it there I get a warning that I need to download the new Pages 5.1... which I have on my computer. I even tried to email it to myself hoping that might work on a lark, but the file is too larg being that it includes pictures.
I can find the copy via finder, and yes, double click it and it opens... but I'm assuming it is using Pages 5.1 to do so.
Do I really have to copy and past all the info on this document onto a new Pages '09 document where I want to maintain my master library of documents?

How do I share a keynote presentation I created on my Mac with a friend who uses keynote for iOS?

I have created a presentation on my Mac in Keynote '13. It's in iCloud, and I'd like to share it with a friend who wants to work on it from her iPad with the latest Keynote for iOS installed. There seems to be no way in the world to make that happen. Airdrop: available on my Mac, not on her iPad, even though we're on the same wireless network. iCloud sharing: will open a link in the iPads safari, with a not very well working verison of iWork for iCloud. No way to download the file to the iPad and work in Keynote! Shared via Messages: the presentation will show up in messages and can be viewed in there, but it can NOT be opened in Keynote for iOS. Eventually I tried to move it out of iCloud, so I could just send it to her via mail. Guess what, Keynote '13 files can not be attached to mail?!?!?!?I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but working with Apple's userfriendly technology makes me feel like someone who has never touched anything electronic before in his life

Not done, sorry.
so sending by mail didn't work either, because the Keynote 13 file could not be attached to a mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Keynote 09 can as can PowerPoint). This is ridiculus. This is Apple trying really hard to make it impossible for people to work with their software
