why is it so hard to sync pages docs with all my devices?

This is an update to my original post.

I also have an iPhone 5C and an iPod touch. Pages updating/syncing work ok on both of those -it does take 5 to 10 minutes but it works. The iPad still doesn't seem to update/sync. All the settings are the same. If this is an iPad issue, I wish Apple would let us know.

I have checked all that, over and over again. The setting are correct, they are the same on all my devices. The iPad will not sync/update.

Hi Rysz,

I've stumbled across a weird work-around for this problem.

If I work on a Pages document while on my MacBook, then switch over to Pages, on my iPad, I found that, if I go to the doc selection area, choose edit, select any doc, then make a copy of that doc, and any doc will do, it "pushes" an update and all un-updated docs will update. That is the only way I've been able to get Pages on my iPad to update.

Now, in reverse, updates work the way they're supposed to...at least, it updates automatically to my MacBook. I have to do the copy/push thing to my other devices.

It seems to have something to do with my iPad not doing things correctly.

Well, at least I can make things update and it's not too much of a hassle for me.

Do you have any thoughts on all this?

Thanks for your help. I agree, it's time to let Apple know there is a problem.

It sure does seem to operate strangely. Last night I worked on a doc on my iPad but then just shut everything down. This morning I booted up Pages on my iPad and it immediately updated. Your latest response seem helpful, I will keep an eye on that...there may be a pattern that I should be following.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Rysz,

I thought you'd like to know this. I contacted Apple Feedback as you suggested and surprisingly, I got a response.

The iWorks team had a list of questions for me regarding, well, everything, about my OS versions, iOS versions, my work flow, etc, etc.

iCloud was closed to me for about 24 hours and that really worried me.

The result was/is Pages and iCloud are now working better than ever before. It takes less that a minute to update. I don't know what they did, ( I asked them to let me know but have heard nothing), but what ever it was I am very thankful.

Thanks again for your help as well.
