What does it mean that a document is "waiting" and why?

I just created a doument in Numbers on my mac and in the icloud window it shows the doument with a cloud icon next to it and the word "waiting". Why is it waiting after 10 minutes on a high speed wifi connection? It is going to sync ever or is this just an icloud failure or even a lie about its capabilities.
I really needed this doc on my mac, so I emailed it to myself and opened it in ios numbers. Why should that be faster than the vaunted icloud? Why is there no indication of a problem with icloud? Why is there no progress bar? It just works, yeah, right.

  • TS3992 what does it mean that my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when i sync with itunes?

    What does it mean that "my iphone will no longer back up to my computer automatically when I sync with itunes", if I turn my icloud backup to "on"? This doesnt sound like something that will make things smoother? I just recently lost all my calendar events and I am hoping to recover them.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can either back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you you choose to back up to iCloud, back up to iTunes will be turned off. Personally, I'd always back up to iTunes unless there is a good reason not to you.

     Hi,
    One of my ex-colleagues has installed a NI-DAQ 6.5 in our system. [And I do not see any other naitional instruments card in the CPU of the computer, may be he removed it] I deleted the account and all his files in the system. When I am trying to install version8.0, its not getting installed and giving me a message that I should uninstall the previous version by going to Add/Remove programs in the control panel.
    I tried doing that, but the "Change/Remove" button does not seem to work...[There is no response and so unable to install the new version...]
    Any idea how can this problem be solved?
    It is a windowsXP operating system with SP2 installed on a machine with P4 processor.
    Thanks

    If you have a credit card on your account then its details have to complete - and asking for their details is also a way of checking that you have a valid billing address in that country. As long as you are buying content for yourself and not trying to gift content (you can't use your balance for gifting) then the purchase price (plus any applicable taxes) should be deducted from your balance. If it's not then you contact iTunes Support :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT203434 what  does it  mean when i  connect to  recharge and a microphone appears with lightening   sign just  above  it?

    what does it mean  when i  turn on my mini wi fi i pad and it shws  a microphone and  lightening  coming out  from it  and  nothing  else is able to be brought up??

    I think that you are seeing the lightning bolt and the lightning connector on the screen. That means that you have to plug the iPad into a wall socket using the power adapter becuse the battery is too low to charge using your computer.
    Look at the photos on this website and not the one under the Connect to Power heading.

  • HT1710 What does it mean if the blue screen appears and stays on with no further activity?

    My disk failed. Apple store replaced it with a disk with OS X. I tried to load from valid time machine backup. eventually I got a blue screen.
    What does this mean and what should I do?
    Here is more of this story:
    When I picked up my computer after the disk was replaced, I was told I could do a time machine recovery. After about 6 hours the recovery said it had less than a minute to go and was transferring "your" network settings. at 9 hours it said the same thing.
    I rebooted DVD to try to reload MAC OS X but it crashed with "INSTALL FAILED  MAC OS X could not be installed on your computer Click restart and try again"
    I did but it would not boot.
    I reloaded the disk utility and and it showed no problems but the next OS X install failed (hung).
    I then wrote zeros to all the disk (could not find a reformat command). This went tith out error.
    I restarted the OSX install and it appeared to work.
    I started the install from time machine again and it hung in the same place. (less than a minute remaining. The completion bar had a sliver of white at the end but was mostly blue)

    It just means it's hungup just before completing, we can get more info with Verbose boot...
    CMD+v keys on bootup...

  • What does it mean that our files must be downloaded by January 2015?  Will our files still be accessible after this date or will they be deleted?

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm a bit new to the whole PDF thing and am thrilled to share that I finally figured out how to use this cool feature! Well sort of! I noticed that there is a large red button that says all files will be deleted on January 6th. What does that mean exactly?  Will any files that we have stored here simply vanish?  I have a PDF file that I published in my 'workspace' that's linked to my business website.  Will the link to my PDF file just disappear on January 6th?  Thanks for any insights that you can share!
    Blessings,
    Lori

    Adobe Workspaces is being retired at the beginning of 2005. For more information, see FAQ: Adobe Workspaces retired.
    Yes, links to any files your have stored on Workspaces will not work after January 6, 2015.

  • HT4623 what does message mean that ipad in recovery mode

    I was updating my ipad and it was accidently disconnected.  When I reconnected later, I have been getting the error message that I need to restore the ipad and that I am in recovery mode.  what do I need to do to use it?

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

    Symptoms
    If your Macintosh computer won't turn on, here's how to troubleshoot it. Please keep in mind that although your computer may display similar symptoms that prevent it from showing video, this article discusses what to do if the computer won't turn on, meaning that when you press the power button:
    You don't hear a startup chime.
    You don't hear any fan or drive noise.
    The power button or power indicator doesn't light up at all.
    If your computer doesn't display any video, it may display one or more of these similar symptoms when you press the power button:
    You may hear a startup chime.
    You may hear fan or drive noise.
    You may see the power button or power indicator light up.
    If any of these conditions occurs, see Troubleshooting: My computer has no video instead.
    If your computer won't turn on, try each of these steps:
    Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a working wall outlet, and that it's properly connected to the power adapter. (To check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or other electrical device.)
    Make sure that the power adapter is properly connected to the power port on the side or back of the computer.
    Disconnect all accessories that are plugged into the computer, such as a printer, hub, or other mobile device.
    Reset the computer's PMU, SMC, or PRAM. Refer to the instructions for your model:
    Portable (iBook or PowerBook)
    Mac mini
    iMac
    Power Mac
    Mac Pro
    MacBook or MacBook Pro
    Other Mac computers
