Clear guide for retrieving Pages doc from iCloud?

I'm finding the information so ambiguous - even down to how to open up the iCloud folder!

You're a star Carolyn, thank you!  A line far more useful than anything I found through google searches!  Have a wonderful day

  • Is there a way to create a batch export of pages docs from iCloud?

    I have been using Pages pretty much exclusively for the past couple of years. The new, crippled version has put an end to that.  But I have about 1000 docs in iCloud that I need to get out of iCloud an onto to some usable platform like Goggle Docs (which does seem to keep improving, unlike iWork). I suspect that Automator or Applescript may be able to do this, but I'd appreciate any pointers.

    If you synchronize Notes with iCloud, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Notes. If you sync Notes with another mail service, disable that in the Internet Accounts or Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane. You may be warned that notes stored on the server will be deleted. If you trust your backups, confirm. Leave the window open.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.apple.Notes" selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash, then restore it from a backup that predates the unwanted change. If you back up with Time Machine, enter it and select the snapshot from which you want to restore.
    Log out or restart and empty the Trash.
    Re-enable synchronization in System Preferences, if you disabled it.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Retrieving Pages documents from iCloud

    I had to get a new Ipad2 since my screen broke.  The notes documents were retrieved after I restored my Ipad from a backup but the Pages documents are gone. Any way to retrieve them from the iCloud or are they gone forever?

    I appologize for being imprecise.
    I opened Pages and selected iCloud in the open dialog box.
    All of my documents are visible.
    I selected a document to be opened.
    A message appears "<Document>" couldn't be opened.
    This is true for almost all of my documents.
    I attempted to open the document on my iPad and got the same error.
    I logged into www.icloud.com.  I went to iWork and saw my documents.
    I selected one for download and got three choices.  PDF, Pages and Word.
    None of them work.  It says preparing to download for a bit and then it fails.

  • How do I retrieve Pages documents from iCloud?

    My Pages documents are backed up on iCloud.  I deleted a doc from my iPad and can see it listed in Settings on the Cloud, but can't download it back onto the iPad.  How do I do this?

    Open the Pages app on your iPad.  You will see all the documents from iCloud on the first screen that appears.

  • How to retrieve pages documents from iCloud after the reset settings glitch deleted all of my files.

    Before all this news that resetting your device wpull delete all your pages documents, I discovered it first hand and lost many of my files for school! I need to recover my files and I cant go to an apple store as of right now. Would someone please contact me!??

    Apple is unlikely to read your post here as this is a user to user support forum.  You can contact Apple support here: Contact Apple for support and service. 
    If you happen to have a Mac that is signed into your iCloud account that you back up using Time Machine I can tell you how to restore them from your Time Machine backup.

  • Possible to restore deleted pages docs from iCloud

    my son deleted several icloud backup apps on his divice to make more space, it somehow was all connected and deleted my business data from pages and numbers on my compiuter and ipad
    ive tried restoring but ther data hasnt come back

    Yes, the deleted docs can be recovered if you have edited the iCloud file with Pages on your Mac and have synched your Mac with a Time Machine before.
    I have just mistakenly deleted some iCloud Keynote docs on my iPad and they were erased on all my devices. But I managed to find out the cache location and copied the files from a Time Machine folder(please refer to the picture I upload).
    The folder is hidden, so you first need the Mac to show all the hidden files and then try my method.

  • Can't open pages doc from iCloud on iMac

    I have been using pages v5.2.2 on my iMac (OS X 10.9.5).  I have saved several files on in the iCloud location, so far no problem.  I opened pages to access a critical file, clicked on the iCloud button, saw my file, clicked it and got the "The file "xxxxxxx.pages couldn't be opened."  Is there anyway to access this file??!!!  Help please!!

    One way to download the file to your Mac is through the iCloud website: https://www.icloud.com and click on Pages and find your file.  Click the file, it will open in a new tab, and click on the spanner icon, choose "Download a copy" (see spanner icon below)

  • Have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop.

    have Pages on iPad and MacBook Pro but can't access docs from iCloud on laptop. laptop keeps telling me to purchase pages for iPad (which I've been using on both the iPad and MacBook for months - App store says i have them both too). Both units have current updated systems and apps. Using same apple ID.  Calendar and contacts work fine between both machines.

    Do you have any secondary accounts set up in mail, contacts and calendars.

  • Ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages incompatible with icloud.  If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad.  Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.

    I have the original ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages 1.7.2 and backing up to icloud.  If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad.  Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.  Is there anyway stopping icloud from changing the version and is there a way to recover the old version of the document on my ipad?

    Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
    $19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

  • How do I get Pages docs to iCloud?

    I've only have a Macbook Pro running Lion--no iphone or ipad.  I've made the movedfrom MobileMe to iCloud.  Mail, Contacts, and Calender have uploaded and are there, but the iWork icon sends me to a page that says, "To get started, launch Pages on your iOS device and turn on iCloud."  I don't have an iOS device and don't plan on getting one.  Can I still get my pages docs from my macbook pro to the iCloud?

    Thanks for your quick response.  I am disappointed with the iCloud.  It is bad enough losing my Gallery, now I can't even upload a document.  Maybe Apple's wisdom will become apparent in time . . . or maybe not.

  • MBP Pro doesn't recognize Pages docs from iPad, vice versa

    Beacuse I'd like to be able to experience the wonderful seamlessness of the new cloud with Mountain Lion, I downloaded Mountain Lion onto my MacBook Pro, as well as the Pages app (I previously had Pages '09), in addition to downloaded the Pages app for iOS (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S).
    I thought that in theory, I could start a document on the iPad/Phone and it woudl appear on the MBP, as well, as vice versa. That has not happened. Specifically, I was taking notes last week on the iPad and when it didn't pop up on my MBP or the Cloud on the MBP, i email the document as Pages document to myslef and thought I could just open it on the MBP then and it'd appear as a new Pages doc there. Well, when i downloaded the Pages doc from the iPad onto the MBP, I got a message saying The open XML file could not be opened because there are problemns with it, and The file is corrupt and cannot be opened. How can it be corrupt? I just created it a few days ago on the iPad? Also, when i follow prompts to open the document, the message box is a Word one? Why is Word then stepping in to try to open it? Shouldn't an Apple app on one machine recognize a document made on an Apple app on another device? I should point out this has happened everytime I've tried to share documents on my mac devices via Pages.
    Also, kind of related, when i go to the options of what to do with the file on the iPad, i get the option to use iwork -- but of course there is no iWork anymore. So why hasn't this option beeen updated? Why not just a 'save to cloud' option? And what's this 'send to itunes' option? I selected that for one document and of course that didn't work, either.
    Thanks so much.

    You do need to turn on iCloud syncing on the iOS devices as it is not on by default. Go to Settings & scroll way down to the apps area & tap on Pages & turn iCloud syncing on. The same applies to your Macs, go to System Preferences > iCloud & check Documents & Data. Of course, you must have a iCloud account.

  • I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

    I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
    I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems.  Is this just a glitch?  The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

    Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
    I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

  • If I delete docs from iCloud off of iPhone 4s, will it delete it from the iCloud in general? aka will I still be able to pull up from my MAC?

    If I delete specific documents and data from my phone, using my phone b/c its staying icloud storage is full & my phone is freezing up....will it actually delete the docs from icloud so that when I use my MAC, they will be gone as well?  Not sure if it is deleting from phone or iCloud for computer too.
    Also, I don't want documents on my phone - when I save them from computer to iCloud, it seems to go there anyway & take up storage I need to run phone.
    argh
    thanks for help, I am horrible with technology so excuse my basic questions

    What I mean is still track my stolen one. I don't know if this will make sense to you but I'm thinking that if I restore the back up data on this phone..on my stolen phone it will like forget the icloud account or something and think this phone is the stolen one so when I go to track the stolen one, it will show that phone as the one I have now because I restored the back up from that phone.
