All my Numbers and Pages files unable to open on iPad and iCloud

It looks like all of my Pages and Numbers files from my iPad have been lost by iCloud? I don't use these apps often, but now when I launch them, all of my files have an upwards arrow icon in the upper right corner. When I select any file, the arrow goes away in under a minute, but the file never opens. When I try to access the files from iCloud.com from my MacBook, it says "Spreadsheet can't be downloaded. Please try again." What happened to my files!!!! I can open the "Getting Started" help files in each app.
My iPad is set up to backup Documents & Data to iCloud. The Storage & Backup options say I have 1.9 GB out of 5GB available. When I go into Manage Storage, it says I am using 5.1 MB for Numbers and 3.6 MB for Pages. When I drill down on each, it lists all of my files that won't open.
I can open my Keynote files from iCloud and my iPad. These do not show the arrow on the files. Reading through help files, the arrow seems to indicate that the file needs to be uploaded to iCloud? Turning off wifi on the iPad does not affect how this works. Force closing the apps and rebooting have no effect.
Any ideas? Is this an Apple bug or a confusing new feature of iCloud?

well, did the test again.. created on the iPad : see screenshot and date. Don't see any document preview.
Also opened all documents on iPad... same result.

  • Numbers and Pages files no longer open on iPhone

    I'm using version 2.4.2 of both Numbers and Pages on an iPhone 4S in iOS7.1.2.  All of a sudden none of my old files will open.  There is no error message; just nothing happens when I try to open them.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm wondering if the new version of Numbers and Pages only work in iOS8.  I'd rather not upgrade yet unless I'm sure that will fix the issue.

    Ok, after syncing with iTunes again everything magically started working again.  Very strange.

  • HT4942 pages document won't open on ipad or icloud

    I have created a document in pages on my ipad. 
    All of a sudden after switching to another document and then trying to switch back, on my ipad which wasn't connected to the internet at the time, I could no longer open my document in Pages.
    I message popped up saying document won't open.  I tried making a copy of it and the copy had the same error message when I tried to open it. I tried emailling and exporting it in the ipad Pages app but it froze up when trying to do it and didn't work.
    I logged onto icloud and I see the document there but it won't open. I get a message that says "Document Can't be downloaded, please try again"
    Is there any way to recover this document?  It is so frustrating because I can see what I wrote is still there in the thumbnail - but I just can't get the actual document.

    It isn't complicated if you don't use it. Like Apple.

  • I lost my keynote and pages file

    How do I restore keynote and pages file that seem to have vanished in icloud?

    Thanks Carolyn. But i still cant retrieve the files. They have vanished.  This is an embarassement to apple and its systems and an inconvenience to people like me who have lost the file. This is the only time i lost my file when i didnt think twice and just allowed the Keynote and pages files created to be stored on icloud. It was there for a few weeks and then suddenly i realised i coldnt find it anymore.
    Thanks so much for your help and feedback.
    Cheers

  • Bought ebook from simon schuster, downloaded Adobe Digital 3.0, everytime I try to open ebook Adobe reader pops up and say file cannot be opened HELP!!!!!!!!!

    I bought an ebook from simon and schuster, it told me I had to download the book to Adobe Digital 3.0.  I downloaded Adobe Digital 3.0 but every time I try to get the book, Adobe reader pops up and says file cannot be opened.  Simon and Schuster has been no help at all, just keep sending the same download instructions@

    I have had the same problem. Adobe doesn't have an answer. I highly recommend dumping Nook and going to Kindle.

  • My .jpg's have ALL suddenly been converted to .pdf's and I am unable to open them

    Using Windows 8.1, when I went to view some jpg's earlier today, I found they now show as "Adobe Acrobat Documents." When I try to open one, I get the error message that they are jpg's and Adobe is unable to open a jpg.???

    And it was easy -- once I went to "Properties" in Windows Explorer. That was the tough part -- finding where to make the change.
    Thank you for your help.

    I am using UPK developer 12.1.0 single user. My sofware has crashed and needs reinstallation. Please suggest how can I take back up of my source files. I am unable to open the application and i can not locate the library backup folder on my local machine.
    Also, does reinstallation takes the back up automatically or the files will be lost. Please help.

    Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances.  Take your pick.

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

    You have obviously not done what you think you have done.
    You have tried to open a .pages document in TextEdit which can't read them.
    If you are confused which program you are in look to the top left of the menu.
    You can either drag the .pages file onto the Pages icon on the Dock, open it from within Pages' Open dialog, double click on it or right mouse click > open with.

  • Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. HELP!!

    Hi All, I recently bought a Mac Book Pro and transferred all my photos from my hard drive onto the Mac. I realised that there were some folders which didn't have the camera information embedded in the files and these files refuse to open on iPhoto. I know that the folders that have the problem were not transferred to the hard drive via a photo transfer application (I have a Canon camera) but I simply copied them out of the photo card and onto my old PC.
    Is there some way I can open these pictures on my Mac? They work fine on a PC.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The files don't open in preview either. In preview I get the error message 'The file "xxxx_xxx.jpg" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize'. The folders with these un-openable pictures do not even get imported into iPhoto. When I try to import them I get an error message about the files being unreadable.
    The color profile information on the un-openable files is not visible but I see that all the other files from my old drive are RGB.
