Q: Pages and Numbers Not Syncing in iCloud

Bookmarks, Contacts and Calendars are all syncing with icloud. Works beautifully, however when I change a Pages or Numbers  document on my MacBook Pro, it doesn't sync with my ipad. itunes 10.5, ios 5, Lion 7.2 in use. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Rob

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1), 2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7, 8 GB Ram

    Still Waiting on Apple chime in.  This appears to be a known issue.  None of my iWorks apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) will sync from my iMac using.  Syncing still seems to work on my iPad and iPhone.

    Apple doesn't usually "chime in" on this user-to-user help forum except to keep the rules and occasionally to supply canned help document references.

    Try to upgrade the OSX to 10.9 and the IOS to 7.

    Upgrade both the iwork on mac and ipad.

     

    It should work now.

    Every now and then I've seen them offer a solution.  Especially on a thread this long.  Regardles, would love to get Mavericks syncing with iCloud again.  My iPad and icloud work great.

     

    Am running latest OS's, have disabled and re-encables iCloud on May iMac.  Have cleared out preferences, reset PRAM, bathed the cat, and said my prayers.  Still no luck.

    So, good news.  I went back and was reading through some previous posts. Turns out, I had a corrupted presentation.  I moved everything to my desktop and it immediately started syncing.  I was able to one my one move the others back to the cloud and all is well.

    "Resest documents and data" in the account settings on www.icloud.com helped.

    I don't know if it's due to the incremental iOS updates, or what, but mine are all of a sudden syncing in all directions again.

    forget iCloud, and use GoogleDocs. It's the same, and works.

    I had just noticed this issue today, and browsed this thread earlier.  I found that my iPad and iPhone were sharing with each other...it was my Mac that was "out of the loop," and was not sending or receiving modifications.  It turned out that all I needed to do was restart the Mac.

     

    While the computer had been running for a considerable time, there were times that I'd restarted the router, and the Mac's DHCP address had changed after a power hiccup during a storm.  There were also, of course the recent updates to the iWork applications.  Whatever caused it, it proved the axiom that Rebooting Is Your Friend.®

    Thanks for the fundamental reminder "Rebooting Is Your Friend." I spent too much time trying to figure out why my iPad Pages syncs up great with iCloud but not my MacBook. Restarting the MacBook solved it for me. I know it's not everyone's solution but it's a great place to start.

    This worked for me. Thanks very much T2YUKI. I had no icloud on my macbook, but it was working fine on my ipad. Now both seem to be working fine.

    Hello danielfromspringfield,

     

    I was having the same iCloud sync problem with Mac Pages; just couldn't get it to sync even though it was working fine a few days ago. I tried your solution and it worked. You star - thanks so much!!

     

    I rang Apple and they are looking into it and will call me back. I will send them straight to your solution!

     

    Just one question: now I've moved the Mobile Documents folder, that presumably means quite a bit of other 3rd party app data has been moved as well, and I'm wondering if I will lose much; will all those other folders be recreated in the new Mobile Documents folder? I couldn't see any crucial documents that I might have moved, but I'm not sure.

     

    Any advice appreciated. Once again, thank you so much!!
