I don't have an iCloud button in the upper left of my documents browser, do you folks? I am using Mountain Lion on a MBP. I cannot find a way to access my iWork documents in the cloud. Can't find this button on my MB with Lion either.

Have you turned on "Documents and Data" in "System Preferences > iCloud"?
If this option is not enabled, the iCloud Button in the file Choser window will not be available.

thanks, yes I have that button clicked. could you please take a snapshot of what and where that button is in your document browser when you go to Pages>File>Open as the article says.
Phil,
sure, see above.
Do you have an iCloud compatible version of iWorks? Pages '09?
Léonie
wow. I do have Pages '09. but that cloud icon is not there. I checked finder preferences for the sidebar. where else can I look. thanks for your time!
also how did you add a custom folder to your favorites in the sidebar, Léonie?

Can you post a screenshot what your documents browser looks like?
The folder that you should be able to access using the iClod icon is inside your user library:
~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/
You can also open it from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go > Go to Folder
and then enter
~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/
Does this folder exist, and do you see any documents there? Or in ~/Library/Mobile Documents/?
also how did you add a custom folder to your favorites in the sidebar, Léonie?
That is easy 🙂 just drag the folder from the Finder to the sidebar where you want it, like this:
Léonie
file://localhost/Users/pcusick/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202012-10-10%20at%201.00.04 %20PM.png
did that work? it is a screen shot
The link is to a file on your desktop - that does not work, sorry.
To upload the screenshot press the camera icon in the editor window toolbar, then "choose file" to upload the screenshot.
leonie, are you using Skitch?
leonie, are you using Skitch?
rarely, I installed it because Kirby Krieger is so fond of it; for most of the annotations to screenshots preview suffices for me 🙂

🙂 I did the same, but don't like it very much, thanks.
Phil,
is that really the "Open" dialogue, when you use "File > Open" in Pages? My window looks completely different. Have you updated to the lates version? My Pages '09 version is version 4.2.
hey you know, my version is 4.0.5 but I cannot get it to update on either of my computers (Lion or ML). I tried opening software update, nothing. If I go to the app store and try to buy the new version it says that it is already loaded, but it isn't. is their anyway to "force" a software update.
I think that this is indeed the issue Léonie. You know, when I first upgraded to Lion, whenever I opened Pages it would say that an update was available but it would never load. strange.
well, rather than mess around I just trashed my pages app and rebought the new version for $20. but I need to do the same on my other machine and it wants $19.99 again. usually with the same apple ID I should be able to load on another of my devices....
jeesh....
"then click the iCloud button"
