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
Problem solved, thank you!
Wow. Seems really complicated for something that is just supposed to work. Thanks for sharing though.
Hi, I'm writing on behalf of someone who's not very 'techy' with these things. I tend to sort out all his few iPad issues and many Windows 8 ones.
The problem was simple: he only has two devices - a windows 8 laptop and an iPad 4th gen on iOS 8, and though I had set up iCloud on both devices Pages (the only iWork app he uses) wasn't syncing. I was prepared to do a full system restore, until I had one last check in settings. It was simple:
1) Open Settings
2) Scroll down to Pages (among all other apps) which, on an iPad, is on the left-hand side of the screen. I believe on an iPhone it fills up the whole screen.
3) On 'Use iCloud', turn it on.
I'm not a very techy person - not compared to most of the people that post on these forums. But I hope this helps!
Hi everyone,
This is a very recent problem for me - only since two weeks. I have found a temporary solution and it's through personal hotspot. I disconnected my iPad from the wifi device and instead connected my iPad to my iPhone's personal hotspot (which uses LTE cellular) and all updated sheets on Numbers were uploaded to iCloud. I have to do this each time I update the Numbers sheets on my iPad. Hope this helps you all temporarily. Below is a bit of background.
I have five devices which connect to my wifi at home - my iPad Air 2 Wifi+cellular 128GB and my iPhone 6S 128GB are two of the five. Apparently, Apple devices use a different bandwidth and you can look this up - B,G, N etc. Not going to bother with the details.
I use the Numbers app, through which I track expenses, gym routine etc using multiple files/sheets. So recently, each time I update the sheets with new data, the app tries to upload them to iCloud and for no reason the upload process does not complete. I leave my iPad at home and carry my iPhone so i don't get the updated data.
No, this is not helpful. There has to be a simpler solution. Besides, the elements you're speaking of here don't exist. Drop this post, it's misleading.
