Updated to ios 9 Friday. Can't convert Pages document to Word after selecting to send a copy. Solutions?
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ), iOS 9
Tried that and it still doesnt work, any other suggestions
thanks
Yeah, see the last line in my previous post. Without at least a modicum of detail, it difficult to assist you.
What I meant by, "can't convert" is this:
1. A Pages document is open.
2. I select to send a copy.
3. I select to send it as a Word document.
4. The bar that shows the progress of the conversion to Word hangs up at about 20% and never completes.
5. There is no error message.
All other conversion options, like PDF, in this process work fine.
I have also just discovered that the same thing happens in ios 9 Numbers in this same sequence for this same process, and, once again, all other conversion options work fine.
On my iMac, I have not been given the option to upgrade to the new OSX, and this process woks just fine in Pages and Numbers on that machine.
Hence, apparently it is a problem only in ios 9 in this process that only affects Microsoft Office programs.
Thoughts?
Strange, but my case switching off Wi-Fi before converting will do it...
iPad mini Wi-Fi, iOS 9, Pages 2.5.5
Really weird but yes, switching off the WiFi did work on my IPAD for both Numbers and Pages.
Unfortunately, the switching off of Wi-Fi before converting didn't help. Has the forced-restart suggestion helped anyone with this problem? Thanks!
I Have exactly the same problem - nothing has worked for me, tried switching off wifi, icloud and done a complete restart. What next please - any ideas?
I've actually avoided iOS 9 for such reasons. Stripping away the ability to sync Notes from iPhones to Macs via iTunes was beyond egregious in my view (though that was a Mac OS issue). I believe that happened when updating to Mountain Lion 10.8 back in 2012. Apple did this without providing users with any form of notice. As to iTunes updates, they usually render many apps unusable for a time, and I recently read that it is best to wait for the next iterative version of a major release (eg, iOS 9.1) before updating. Of course, that doesn't help anyone who has already done so. Perhaps the suggestion in the linked forum will benefit those affected.
I appeared to have the same problem as well. I tried resetting my iPad mini 2 and it didn't fix anything. But then, I decided just to leave it ... and after a couple minutes it did convert and I was able to send it where I wanted.
Have tried switching off wifi again: It works if you close the pages document then choose the share icon and select the document. Once it's attached to the Email press send, go back to settings and turn wifi back on. It's a bit long winded but at least it makes it possible.
well, i had this problam to, but i have founded the anser in this link: http://www.ipadforums.net/threads/pages-in-ios-9.128779/
as small as the first file that you will export, it will take less time
I have the same problem on both iPhone 6 + and iPad. The bar goes about 20% of the way and then it all stops.
I'm using an IPad Air 2 and had a similar issue yesterdy.
I waited for the bar to complete. It took quite a while the first time and then it was fine from that point. I don't know what this is about but it work in the long run.
