Q: Pages on MacBook not updating on iPad/iCloud

Hi there,

 

I've recently been having a few issues with my Pages App/iCloud accounts.

 

Any writing I do on the pages app on my iOS items such as my iPhone or iPad are updating on each others pages account. For example if I write something on my iPhone it is there on my iPad and vicer versa.

 

However, any work I am doing on my MacBook lately isn't updating on to the iOS devices pages apps?

 

Any help would be very much appreciated!

 

Thanks

 

Lee

    What versions of OSX, iOS and Pages do you have installed on each device/computer?

    On OS X:

     

    1. You must have System Preferences > iCloud > Documents & Data selected, and in the Options… ensure that you have Pages checked too.
    2. Be Signed into iCloud from the above preferences panel with the same AppleID as your IOS devices.
    3. From Pages, Save/Save As… your Pages documents to iCloud/iCloud Drive.
    4. If your OS X install is older than Yosemite, and your IOS devices are IOS 8 or later, and you have enabled iCloud Drive, then you cannot view or access the documents on iCloud Drive until you install Yosemite and enable iCloud Drive on it.

     

    If you haven't rebooted your computer in an eternity, that might be useful too.
