Hi Paul, Sorry, I missed a step in my previous messages. You'll need to open your document on your iPhone first, then do the following:
1. Double-tap the Tools button in the document. 2. Double-tap the Share and Print button. 3. Double-tap the Copy to iTunes button. Now, it will show up in your iTunes docs. 4. Connect your iPhone to your Mac with the USB cable. 5. Select your iPhone from the Sources List. 6. Select the Apps tab. 7. Interact with the Scroll area and navigate to the Sharable Apps Table. 8. Interact with it and select Pages or Numbers, whichever kind of doc you're hoping to translate. 9. Stop Interacting with the Table and navigate to the Shared Documents Table. 10. Interact with it and select the document you wish to translate. 11. Stop Interacting with the Table and navigate to the Save to button, press it. Now you can save it as a Pages document, a pdf or a Word document to your Mac. As I've mentioned, this is the area where I believe that Apple needs to improve its iCloud integration. The process works but is not as seamless as the iCloud experience should be. HTH. Later... On 2012-01-09, at 8:29 PM, Paul Hunt wrote: > Hello Tim. I found the mobiledocuments folder.
