Hi, It looks like no-one else responded to your post, so, I’ll see if I can help in any way. First, you should insure that you have iCloud Drive enabled on both your iPhone and your Mac so syncing can actually occur. I tested the following:
• Opened a Pages document that resides in the Pages folder of my iCloud Drive. Accessed by pressing cmd-shift-i from the Finder, opening the Pages folder then opening the specific document. • Added a few words at the beginning of the document then saved and closed it. • Went into Pages on my iPhone and opened the same named document. • The changes were not quite there but after about five seconds, the document magically added the new words to the beginning. • I went back and read your eMail and noted that I should try things the other direction too. So, I added a few more words to the document on my iPhone this time. Then double-tapped the “Done” button and closed Pages on my iPhone then locked it. • Pressed cmd-shift-i on my Mac, opened the Pages folder and opened the document and the changes were instantly there this time. Just for your reference, I’m running a MacBook Pro, Late 2011 with 10.10.2 and an iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.3. Certainly, not the latest architecture, but the latest software. So, in my case, the syncing worked as it should. The only things I can think of is to ensure that iCloud Drive is enabled on both devices as well as tapping the “Done” button from within the Pages app on your iPhone to make sure that changes are saved. Sorry, can’t help with Word and your DropBox. Later... Tim Kilburn Fort McMurray, AB Canada On Feb 15, 2015, at 02:53, Andrew Lamanche <[email protected]> wrote: Listers, It's driving me nuts! I need to work with some documents when I'm not at home. I have created a document in pages, I have saved it in icloud drive so that I can open it on my iphone when I'm not at home. I've written to the group about it before. What happens is that when I edit and add data to the document when out and about using my iphone, when I get back home and open the same document on my mac, the added text is not there. What am I missing? This is crazy. My iphone is supposed to save the document in its latest form into icloud drive, is that not right? I have Yosemite on my mac and latest iOS on my iPhone. And here's something else. Frustrated with this behaviour in Pages, I installed Word on my iPhone, and tried to use dropbox to save my document to. Initially, I was excited because loading my document from dropbox into Word was really easy, and I was impressed. Then during the day I added text to my document in Word and saved it back into dropbox. When at home I opened dropbox, located the document, Voiceover told me the time and date of the document which was last time I modified it, I thought: great! It's working. I opened the document in Pages on my Mac and guess what? The text I had added during the day in Word on my iphone was not there. I wanted to scream. What's happening? Has anyone got the idea why? Is there any other way I can reliably work with a document between my mac and my iPhone? Andrew -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
