Can't find 3 Pages documents on iCloud?

I restarted my computer two days ago, and everything seemed to be fine, but when I opened Pages up, it suddenly didn't pop up at my iCloud Drive. It just said "create new document". So when I went to "Open Recent", NONE of the files I've worked on in the past 2-3 months were there. It all came up with stuff I did back in September.
And when I searched the file name on my computer, nothing popped up.
However, when I went to "Recent Items", the three pages documents popped up, but were unable to be clicked. So it recognizes they exist, but can't open them? And the three pages documents aren't on iCloud, but they were previously saved there. Is there any way to access previously saved versions or anything to get these files back?
I don't know how they all just managed to disappear without leaving some trace on my computer.

Just a hunch - are you also using mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod) , and did you upgrade the mobile devices to iOS8?  And did you enable iCloud Drive on these mobile devices? Then "Documents in the Cloud" will no longer sync.

  • Can't find my pages documents on my iPad after upgrade to iOS 8. I also updated

    I Just upgraded my iPad to ios 8 and I also upgraded my pages and numbers but I can't find all my documents. Please how may I locate them?

    I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

  • How can I retrieve a Pages document from iCloud onto my iPhone?

    I create Pages documents on my computer, and then store them in iCloud Drive. (I don't use Pages for iCloud beta; I create them with Pages on my Mac, and then upload them to iCloud Drive.) I would like to be able to retrieve those documents on my iPhone. Is that possible? I think I have all the settings right in Settings: iCloud Drive is on. Within that, Pages is on. When I go to the Pages app on my phone, all I seem able to do is create documents (which then appear in iCloud in my Mac, which is good.) But I cannot get to the documents that I have stored in iCloud by using my computer. Maddeningly, I cannot seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Is it not possible to do what I want to do?
    Thank you very much.

    Yes it is possible -- but I don't have much help for why it isn't working for you. I just tried saving 2 documents from Pages version 5.5.1 on my Mac and was able to open the document from Pages on my iPhone. The only things I can think of is to insure both are using the same Apple ID and that when you save on the Mac your save dialog is set to save to Pages - iCloud or to iCloud Drive.

  • How can 'save as' a Pages document in iCloud Pages?

    I have a number of standard documents that I keep on iCloud. Occasionally, I need to edit them through iCloud.com. I'd like to be able to go into a standard document, make changes, and then 'save as' and create a new document, but I can't find how to do this. Any ideas?

    Sorry, my previous directions were for the Pages app on Mac OS X. If you want to duplicate a file from the browser you'll need to navigate to the main file repository and choose the file you want to create a copy of.
    Click on the gear at the top of the page
    Click Duplicate

  • Can't find a pages document despite regular saves while working on it.

    Hello. Yesterday I spent a couple of hours continuing work on a pages document I had prepared. I saved the document regularly using both the file>save method and the Command+S method. The file did seem to take an unusual amount of time to save but it did appear to complete the save. I shut down the computer overnight and started it up to do some more work today. To my surprise I can only find the previous version of the file that I saved a on the 18th - not the one I was working on on the 21st. A search of the finder, recycle bin and anywhere else I can think of has come up with nothing. It seems nothing at all was saved while I was working on the document. Time Machine wasn't plugged in. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    …Love to have a beer with Duncan, love to have a beer with Dunc…
    Have you gone to:
    +Menu > File > Open Recent…+ ?
    You have Time Machine so obviously you have a 2nd drive. It is nowhere on that?
    It is also possible that you accidently saved it into your System files which Spotlight does not search.
    Did you Save As… to another format perhaps?
    Download [EasyFind|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11076/easyfind] (free) and install it. It will search all your drives as long as they are attached, so make sure you have inserted all external drives, USB flash drives etc and anywhere else you may have dropped your file.
    You do need to be more conscious of what you are doing when you save and where you save to.
    If you are new to Macs or computing I suggest you do Apple's introductory videos:

  • Where can I find unsaved Pages documents? (default storage iCloud -- Former "mobile documents" folder)

    Hey all, i have a serious situation here. I have written a a term paper in pages last friday and must have have soemhow forgotten to save it. Now i just wanted to proof read some sections and I had to find out that this document doesnt exist. Not on my mac, not in iCloud. To cut to the chase - After hours of reserach I have found out that unsaved iwork documents have been saved to ~/Library/Mobile Documents prior to MAC OS 10.7.3.
    I actually have found rather complicated manuals on how to get this mobile documents folder up and running but I guess it will only start saving stuff in there by now...?
    So before I spend another 2 hours trying to get the mobile documents folder back into my librarby I rather start writing my paper all over
    Maybe someone of you has experienced a similar problem and can help me out here... I seriously could cry !! So dont want to write everything again...
    Please help me!! Thanks a lot!
    Cheers Tobi

    Hi
    I'm having same issu over here.
    Her is my setup
    iMac 27" 2014 running Mavericks latest version.
    iPad Mini running iOS 8.0.0
    MacBook Air 2013 running latest version of Yosemite Public Beta
    iPhone 4 running OS 7.1.2
    Everything was working like a charm using iCloud Drive and all my Keynote, Pages and Numbers files stored on iCloud.
    I could sync with the iMac due to the fact that I'm still on Mavericks, but that didn't bother me. And I don't use Keynote, Pages or Numbers
    on my iPhone 4.
    I just got an iPhone 6 Gold 64 Go and this is where it all went wrong.
    After installation and update to 8.0.2 and setup of my new iPhone, I launched
    keynote to see if I could access the presentations I had been working on.
    And oh! Horror!!! A popup saying presenting have been deleted from another device....
    So I hop back over to my iPad Mini where I had been working on an important presentation... Gone!!
    All my presentations... Gone! More that 30 of them... Vanished.
    But no problems with Pages or Numbers.... Weird....
    Please Please Please help Apple.... I need these files and was solely relying on icloud for backing up my work. That was probably a bad bad move.
    Thanks for helping. I see I'm not alone....

  • Can't see my pages documents on iCloud

    i've got an iMac running 10.9.5 and recently purchased a macbook air also running 10.9.5. i've been working on my pages and numbers documents on the iMac and saving them to the cloud but when i look for them via the cloud running pages on my macbook air i can't see them.
    i've got the same apple id running on both machines.
    thoughts?

  • I have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

    i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.

    Before the reset quit Pages like this:
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.

  • Pages documents in iCloud can't be opened

    I stored some Pages documents in iCloud last fall, and now—even though they are visible in the Pages "open" window in Mountain Lion—I can't open them on either my Mac or iOS devices. When I click or tap on these documents, they appear to "zoom open" (in Mac OS) but never actually do.
    Has anyone else run into this issue, or does anyone have any advice?

    Restart fixed this, but still—not reassuring.

  • I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?iDocbackup

    I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?

    Here is some information on how to get a document from your iDevice to iCloud (which means you need to have the iOS version of Pages installed on your iPad or iPhone:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/documents/
    And here is a slew of other help articles:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.psp.more&locale=e n_US&q=Documents%20in%20the%20Cloud
    And, icloud is not really "storage" - it is meant to "push" a document you create on one iDevice to another.
    FWIW, I assume you are on Lion? Please change your profile - it still shows 10.5.8...

  • After saving pages document to iCloud on my mac I can't download it on my pc as pdf...

    hi! I've got a problem, after saving pages document to iCloud on my mac I can't download it on my pc as pdf... only pages available, when I do the same on iPad everything is fine... is there way to fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to open the documents on an iOS device before you can open them as anything other than pages documents.

  • I can't open a pages document.

    I can't open a pages document. It says I need a new version of pages. I searched for upgrades but can't find any. Am I being forced to re-buy the program in order to access my documents? I looked into upgrading operating system, but Mavericks says I can't - my machine is too old? Seriously? It is starting to look like upgrades are breaking what otherwise worked fine, then charging to upgrade to make it work?

    Pages 5 requires Mavericks.
    If you can't upgrade to Mavericks you will need to Export your Pages 5 file to Pages '09 or Word .doc/x format then open it with whatever Pages version you have (you didn't say).
    You can open Pages 5 files inside Safari using iWork for iCloud beta and Send a Copy in Word format to yourself.

  • When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

    When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates. Any ideas?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • I've installed ios 6 on my iPhone 4. I can't find "shared streaming photo" and "iCloud tabs"

    Escuse me I'm an italian boy. I've installed ios 6 yesterday on my iPhone 4 and on my iPod Touch 4g. In my iPod i can't find the tabs in the icloud tabs (safari). In my iPhone 4 i can't find shared photo stream and also the tabs in the iCloud tabs. i've surfed in internet with the two devices but the folder of the iCloud tabs remains empty . why? please help me.

    For iCloud tabs be sure that both devices are signed into the same iCloud account, and that you have opened multiple web pages rather than always opening new sites in the same web page.
    Shared photo streams are inititiated by opening the camera roll in the thumbnail (grid) view, then tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to share, tap the Share button, tap Photo Stream, select the email address of the people you want to share these photos with, fill in a name for it, turn on Public if you want them to be able to view it on icloud.com, type Next, fill in comments if you want, the tap Post.

  • Can I transfer a "pages" document to another iTunes account?

    Can I tranfer a pages document to a desktop computer without using wifi?  I would then want to be able to put information from the computer onto the ipad as well.  The schools block their ipads from using the wifi so we are trying to find away around this.  thanks

    Without wifi, you are stuck.  Whether you are syncing, e mailing or anything else, they all rely on wifi.   There is an app in the store called file transfer ( or something similar) that uses bluetooth, but I tried it and simply does not work, except for picturess.
