Use iCloud with iWork on iOS devices
ITriMang - iCloud can be a 'lifesaver' for iOS device owners looking for ways to keep their data synchronized between multiple devices and different computers. Apple's iWork suite is also ready to offer seamless integration with iCloud to keep Pages, Numbers, and Keynote data synced between devices. However, at the time of writing this article, only Apple's iWork iOS app supports iCloud, it has not been able to sync your data directly with the Mac version of the above apps.
However, iCloud syncs data - a concept Apple uses that refers to syncing data to the cloud - works well between iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices. This process is similar to the 3 iWork applications. Take Pages as an example.
If you do not see the welcome screen, or if you have removed it with the Later button, you can activate iCloud support for each iWork application in Settings .
If it is the first time running Pages or the first time running the application after updating to the latest version, you may see a dialog box asking if you want to use iCloud. Follow the installation instructions and you can connect to your iCloud account with just a few touches. If you don't see that dialog box (or if you've chosen Later at the first time you see it), it won't be easy to start saving the application to iCloud, and that dialog doesn't appear as an option within the app.
In fact, the only way to activate iCloud in the case you have previously ignored it is through the Settings app option. Scroll down and touch Pages in the application list. Here, activate Use iCloud . Return to Pages and you can quickly see the arrows stacked on the data icon - they imply that the data has not been synced to iCloud yet. The progress bar will appear immediately above the personal data icon that shows the file being uploaded to the cloud.
You will see progress bars on the data each time they are synchronized to iCloud.
This is a comprehensive or nothing method: Users can either sync all their data with iCloud or not sync anything. Once iCloud is activated on a certain iWork app on your device, you will no longer have to worry about it. Changes will be automatically saved to iCloud whenever you work, very quickly and smoothly (requires an Internet connection).
If you are working offline, you may want to be sure to re-start Pages application once you have connected your iOS device online again. Close the current data by tapping the Documents button on the left corner and you will see a thumbnail icon for all files. Wait for a few seconds and you will see a familiar arrow image appear, indicating that your file is being synchronized. When it (and can be any progress bar) disappears, it means you have updated for iCloud.
Another problem that occurs when working with iCloud and iWork is if you try to avoid: editing data on multiple devices at the same time. iCloud can and will notify you if a copy of a certain data is outdated and the user will see a notification if updates are being made at the time you are reading it. If you make simultaneous edits on iPad and iPhone devices, iCloud will not know which sync to change.
When this happens, the iWork application offers a pop-up display with the message Resolve Conflict . You can choose which version to keep as the original. If you choose to keep multiple versions, this application will create separate copies of data, such as Quantrimang article (Lex's iPhone) and Quantrimang article (Lex's iPad 2) .
If you open an application and there are many changes, a notification will tell you about updates.
However, if you only edit one data on a certain device, this problem will not occur. If you are making changes to a certain data on the iPad device, you will not be able to immediately see those changes when you run Pages on iPhone. Please take the time to wait for the update to be synchronized to iCloud. Sometimes, you can speed things up a little faster by tapping the Documents button in the top left corner to enable iCloud to check for new data and it will show up immediately if available.
When everything works correctly, you will no longer have to worry about iCloud, but just focus on your data. The rest, let iCloud take over the synchronization job.
