Hi Tim. I do not see this folder, though this machine is subscribed to iCloud. This is really frustrating, as I want to be able to do this to keep my sanity, smile.

The complications arise when going from your iDevice back to the Mac. If you are running Lion, and have subscribed to iCloud, then there is a folder in your Home Directory's Library folder named "Mobile Documents" This folder is what iCloud uses to share documents. If you are wishing to simply use the files between two Macs that both are registered to the same iCloud account, then simply create a folder in this folder and drop the files you wish accessed by both Macs into it. These files will now be easily accessed by each Mac registered to your iCloud account. Make any changes to the file while it's in that folder and it will more or less instantly be changed within iCloud and thus changed on your other Mac. Now, the complication I mentioned has to do with opening the file within Pages on your iDevice. If you place a Word, Pages or a few other document types into the Documents folder in the com~apple~pages folder that resides in the Mobile Documents folder, it can be accessed and translated into mobile Pages. then it can be accessed and manipulated using Pages on any other iDevice you've registered within the same iCloud account. The translation process makes it unreadable though by the MacOS Pages app. So, you'll need to continue simply using iOS devices to work with that document unless you physically connect your iDevice to your Mac, select it from the Source List and choose the Apps tab. In the Table that lists the apps that share documents in iTunes, select Pages. You can then acces the iOS version of the document, and then save it to your Mac in a usable format. If you wish, you could then manipulate it on your Mac and place it back into iCloud in the method outlined above. Not perfect, but it does work. I, primarily, just use this between Macs so that the version of my documents are always up to date. The only ones I put into iOS Pages are things like christmas lists and such that I want access to when I'm out and about away from a Mac. Hope this helps and is clear enough. Later...
