iCloud in all apps?

[Nerdy Keith]

iCloud doesn't appear to be in any of my apps. I can't save any Pages or Word documents to the cloud. Any ideas?

From what I've seen so far, it's limited to the Apple iWork apps at the moment.

Hopefully more to come soon...

I can't even get it working in any of the iWorks apps

Open an app, such as Pages, on the Mac.

Go to Save As, and then from the dialog box, drop down the "Where" and icloud should be one of the options.

No iCloud is not one of the options for me

Make sure you have the latest update for iWork.

do you have 'documents & data' ticked on in your icloud system preferences?

yes, good point - check for updates

I have "documents & data" ticked in my iCloud preferences. But iCloud is just not appearing in the finder, thats why its not a saving option on anything.

I am however still using iWorks 08

icloud doesnt appear in my Finder, which is somewhat of a disappointment

but I think updating your iwork apps will solve your immediate problem

iCloud does not show in the Finder. It will show as part of each individual app. Try opening TextEdit and see if you have it there. It requires iWork 09

Ahh ok, that explains why its not working. Text edit works with iCloud alright.

I'll have to think about updating iWorks to the new version of it. Would it work if I just purchased Pages 09 as an individual app from the appstore instead of getting the entire new iWorks package?

Thanks for your help guys btw

Yeah you can get the individual apps from the App Store.

also as far as i know, iCloud support is limited to Mac App Store apps only.

Preview and TextEdit have iCloud support built in. The only problem is there is no way to access these documents on mobile devices. A big oversight by Apple, in my opinion.

 

[iClive]

Agreed, but may be this will be rectified in ios 6?

I wish they would just develop an iWork '12 or '13 soon.

The update to iWork enabled iCloud support on my boxed copy of iWork.

If you can save any file in textedit like that someone will develop an app soon that will work like dropbox?

 

[iClive]

that's exactly how it should IMHO
