Disable iCloud Documents & Data?

Hi,
yesterday i got my iPad Air 2 and disable Documents & Data under Settings -> iCloud.
I only sync my contacts, so i disable everything there (not "contacts", but everything else).
After disabling everything beside "contacts", "Documenst & Data" is still shown under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calander -> Accounts (iCloud: "Contacts, Documents & Data").
When going back to Settings -> iCloud, the setting (ON/OFF) for Documents & Data is gone! It is no longer in the List!
I have to logout from iCloud and Login again, then every setting in iCloud is back to standard (nearly everything is ON).
And "Documents & Data" is back in the list (ON).
When i disable it again, the entry disappears again! I can not turn it back on, however Documenst & Data" is still shown under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calander -> Accounts (iCloud: "Contacts, Documents & Data")!
This is on every iOS-Device i tested it!
iPhone 4S from a friend, iPad Air 2, and the iPad Mini from my dad.
Must be a bug?!?
Some questions:
1. Is there a way to really disable "Documents & Data" in iCloud?
2. And where can i see which Documents & Data is stored in my iCloud?
3. And is it possible to simply delete every Document & Data in the iCloud?
Can anybody help me with that questions?
Thanks!
Julia

It will delete all your data synced from iCloud, not the whole hard disk. You can turn off each service individually, so you can choose to keep your contacts, calendars, notes...

  • Reversed iCloud "Document & data syncing" settings

    Hi there,
    I do have a "really weired" problem.
    Using 1 iPhone and 1 iPad (mine) and another iPhone (my wife's) on the same iCloud account.
    1) docs (i.e. GoodReader or Pages) generated on my iPad show up on my iPhone, but not on my wife's iPhone. So, my wife's iPhone seems to be "separated" from the other devices, even it's on the same "account".
    2) on my iPhone and iPad in "Settings -> iCloud -> Document & Data syncing" it has to be OFF to make Pages and GoodReader show iCloud. If I turn it ON, immediately there's no more iCloud availabe. So this setting is "reverse sensed".
    What is more, when I go to "Settings -> iCloud -> Memory & Backup" all devices show the same "usage", only let's say 10MB used it Pages and GoodReader (which is true for my wife's iPhone) even on my iPad there's >10GB of files in GoodReader.
    All devices newest iOS.
    When I found out files didn't sync to my wife's iPhone (which had the "reverse sensing settings" problem too), I deleted the iCloud account, used a differen account, deleted that too and activated my iCloud account again. That helped switch from "reverse" to "normal" settings.
    This didn't help on the other devices (my iPhone and my iPad).
    Is there any "RESET on the server-side" to get things running correctly?
    Thx & best regards,
    Peter

    Correction and one more explanation:
    Let's say, my wife's iPhone has in GoodReader -> iCloud -> Folder A (with 10 MB) of data-files, but doesn't see Folder B & C,
    My iPhone & iPad both have Folders B and C with 1 (not 10) GB of data files, but cannot see Folder A. Everything that's created / moved / deleted shows on the other device (as iCloud is supposed to), but not on my wife's iPone at all.
    And what is more, the "Settings -> iCloud -> Memory and Backup" on my two devices shows "10MB used in GoodReader" even if it's 1GB of data in there and "Documents & Data settings" is (and has to be) switched OFF.
    At the Genius Bar in Munich Apple Store they were quite puzzled and said there is a Server-Reset, does anyone know how to contact iCloud support for that?
    Thx & best regards,
    Peter

  • I need help with 'Documents & Data' taking up all the space on my iPhone

    Hello, I have searched for days on the internet for a way to solve my problem but nothing and I really mean NOTHING seems to work at all.
    I can't buy any software either.
    When I go into Settings>iCloud Documents &  Data are off and have been off all the time. Yet I STILL have Documents &  Data taking up 5 GB of my phone and I don't have much space either.
    I have hopelessly tried deleting most of my messages and NONE and I mean NONE of the space has been given to me, nothing changed but my messages completely disappeared. No I do not use iCloud and I have the latest software updates. My phone is not jailbroken. I even tried deleting most of my apps and installing them again but that didn't work either. Photos take a small amount of space on my iPhone.
    I really hope someone can help me this is a really big issue for me and I do not fancy resetting the phone back to its Factory settings.
    I am new to the apple forum so sorry if this isn't in the right category or something. Thank you in advance. I also do not really fancy going all the way to the centre of the city to go to a Genius Bar.
    By the way, a few minutes ago I tried backing up my iPhone and syncing it again and a message popped out telling me that I need additional 4 GB of space in order to let it sync and I do not understand this, Documents & Data take more and more of my space every time I look. Also all the messages I delete come right back when I turn the phone on and off.

    Hi demolitonlovers,
    If you have unaccounted for data taking up storage space on your iPhone, you may find the following articles helpful in identifying what is taking up the space and how to remove it:

  • I can't find how to access/import my iCloud documents in iOS iWorks?

    According to the iCloud settings on my Mac, all Documents from Pages, Keynote and Numbers are automatically saved to iCloud.
    Everything is iCloud enabled in Settings on both my Mac and iPad (iPad Air, iOS 7.1.1) and Documents and Data is turned on etc.
    However, when I open my iWorks (Pages, Keynote or Numbers) apps on my iPad, there seems to be no option to import or open files from iCloud?
    This is very frustrating, so if someone could help that would be great.

    Hello annac42
    They should show up in the document manger when opening up any of the iWork apps for iOS. If they do not, then check out the article below for some troubleshooting steps to go over including resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

  • ICloud documents not showing up in iCloud

    Using Pages I have a number of documents that just don't show up on any of my iCloud devices (including iCloud from my Mac, when I click Open and go to iCloud they aren't there). I have tried duplicating the files and saving them to iCloud but they still don't appear. Any new documents that are saved into iCloud are saved properly, but this group of older files have been heavily enough formatted that copying and pasting would be a pain. I have saved all the old files under a similar tag. They all appear in Finder under the tag and the file path even shows them as located in iCloud, but that is the only way I can locate them.
    Any help would be appreciated...

    If you haven't already tried, you might try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Documents & Data, restart your Mac then go back and check Documents & Data again.  If this doesn't help, you might need to try resetting the iCloud Documents & Data service as explained here: iCloud: Resetting iCloud Documents & Data service.

  • How to use Documents & Data in the iCloud on my mac?

    Dear Sir,
    When you activate Documents & Data from System Preferences/iCloud it means that it can be stored and synced with my MAC.
    You can see this when you disable Documents & Data from System Preferences/iCloud, it says that (All Docments & Data Stored in my MAC will be deleted)
    So, there should be a folded that can store and sync my Documents & Data with iCloud.
    So, How?
    Or anyhow, how does it work?
    Thanks,
    Boudy,

    So, iCloud is just for upload and download.
    I even could not use the documents on the web. how come?
    is it just a place to upload and download only? It should be used as a device on the Web also. and it should be synced with my Mac or PC. In this way, It could be useful. But to upload a document to the web, then modify it by any IOS5, in this case I will have 2 versions, one in the could, and another in my mac, and i have to keep update with the new one. if i modify the one in my mac, i have to re-upload again before using the one in the cloud or i'll be using another old version. and if i modify the version in the cloud, i should re-download it to my mac before using the version which is already in my mac. it is really going terrible.
    I'm really disappointed from the iCould.
    It is just for mail, syncing contacts and iCal, Find my iPhone.
    iDisk and Photo Gallery was something unbelievable.
    Hope apple to keep iDisk & Photo Galley and to update the iCloud

    I believe the documents & data setting was removed with iOS 8.1.  You can delete documents and data by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage, then tap each app listed under Documents & Data, tap Edit, then tap Delete All to delete it.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and have upgraded to iOS 6.  Based on posts regarding battery life after this update, I want my setting for "Use Cellular Data for" iCloud Documents to remain off.  However, it keeps turning back on...can I avoid this?

    I also wanted to note that this setting goes back to On even if I have not turned off the phone...but it also does this when the phone is turned off and then back on.

    I am seeing the exact same thing on iOS 6.0.1 on my iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S.
    Steps to reproduce:
    In Settings:General:Celluar, check to be sure the following is off:
    iCloud Documents
    iTunes
    Passbook Updates
    Reading List
    Check back to the same screen after 5 minutes (while not on Wifi) and iCloud Documents is back on.
    It's burning through data like mad.
    I know I could kill iCloud on my devices or turn off Cellular data, but neither is a solution.
    Apple, are you aware of this? I think most people assume that users just don't know how to turn this off. That's not the case, it's coming back on by itself.

  • ICloud can't sync documents&data

    Yesterday I reinstall iOS7 without loading old backup.
    when login iCloud, I have a problem like them https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5321569?start=0&tstart=0
    and i solved the problem using "find my friends"
    today i found that i can't sync documents & data... both on my iPhone and Mac
    can't upload iWork documents, can't download & upload Day One
    it show 4.84GB free of my 5GB storage. But i can't found data on the "Manage Storage"
    have called apple support , still waiting for reply...
    do you have same problem?

    Not as part of my immediate issue, but (as I did explain above) 1) this thread deals with rules/sigs vanishing, and 2) that seems to happen a lot, to people who sync AND people who don't, 3) it seems that this problem is sometimes attributed to iCloud syncing when that is not the problem and 4) I was hoping there might be some related Mail issue (besides just iCloud) that *might* help explain things. I aslo said I thought it was a long shot, but....any port in a storm. No offense intended, but it seems that my long shot didn't turn up any useful info.
    That said, since i DO have a heckuva lot of rules set up, and having them reside eslewhere might be useful. Is there a way to move rules already in existence to iCloud? If I make changes locally, will they get picked up by iCloud or overwriten? If not, then iCloud won't help me at present.....

  • How to delete one entry in "documents & data" of icloud?

    Hello mende1,
    I  follow your suggestion many times but it does not work still.
    The record "Ruler for iPad and iPhone..." fails to disappear.

  • Pages 5.0 can't open iCloud documents.  Has anybody run into this issue?

    Here's the story:
    I upgraded to Pages 5.0 and can't open .pages documents saved in icloud.
    It does not seem to be a file incompatibility.  I am creating files in Pages for Mac, saving them to iCloud.  They are immediately unable to re-open. 
    I only get a message saying:  The file “{file name}.pages” couldn’t be opened.
    Documents can be created without issue.  If they are saved to my local drive, I can open them again.
    Obviously, this makes it very difficult to use Pages with any other devices because document syncing is impossible.
    Details on my system:
    Mid-2010 13" Macbook pro
    2.4 Ghz core 2 duo
    8 GB ram
    OS X 10.9

    I was also experiencing same issues without being to open Older Pages Docs from iCloud in Pages 5.  I followed suneson Recommendation and process to the T...    Works perfectly. 
    Important to note you do have to do the second part in order for it to work completely.  I tested just the first half and still had issues.  Once Disabling and Re-enabling Documents and Clearing Cache - works perfectly now.  Thanks Suneson!
    Suneson process:
    Move all of your iCloud documents to a local folder (offline).
    Go to the iCloud preference pane i System Preferences.
    Click Manage... and delete all Pages data.
    The Next Step is required:
    Go back to iCloud preferences and uncheck "Documents & Data".
    Check it again.
    Delete ~/Library/Caches/--anything related to Pages or iWork--

  • Can't enable iCloud documents on iPad

    I had an old MobileMe account, and a separate Apple ID for my iTunes account.  My iTunes ID is now associated with my iCloud account, which appears to be syncing Calendar and Contacts just fine.  However, I have been unable to get my iPad to enable iCloud for Documents.  I've turned on iCloud Documents and Data in the iCloud settings.  And I've turned on Documents and Data under the Mail, Contacts, Calendars setting.  No matter what, existing documents on my iPad would not sync into the Cloud, nor would a new test document.
    I note that, under Mail, Contacts, Calendars "Accounts" it still shows my MobileMe account listed, and I am wondering if Docs and Data somehow synced into this account.  Worse, this morning, as I opened Pages on my iPad, I got a message that all documents had been moved to the iCloud, BUT that iCloud was not enabled on my iPad.  Hmmm, so now the docs have gone missing.  Of course, I have backups on my computer, but I just don't know where they went.  And I don't know how to get iCloud to sync Documents.  I think it has something to do with this Mobile Me account, and wonder if I should delete it.
    Any ideas?  Thanks,

    Solved!  Moved all content out of the MobileMe, and then disabled that account on the iPad.  Everything immediately went into iCloud, and the lost documents reappeared.  I'm confused a bit, but it all seems to be working.

  • Numbers OSX not seeing iCloud documents

    Numbers is syncing on iCloud on all of my IOS and OSX devices, but on my home iMac even though the documents show up in iCloud on system preferences they don't show up in the Numbers application.
    I'm stumped! Why wouldn't the numbers app see the documents even if they are clearly present on iCloud everywhere else?
    I've tried reinstalling Numbers, repairing permissions, re-synching the apps. Disabling and re-enabling iCloud...nothing seems to work!
    All other devices are syncing fine, and as I said if I go into System Preferences I can see the documents. It's just the Numbers application itself that doesn't seem to see the iCloud documents.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Calendar uses a different protocol to sync.  But I *think* TextEdit and third-party apps use 'Documents & Data' just as iWork does.
    I've never noticed that 'Manage' button. I see that it gives you a look at usage and, of course, a convenient way to buy more space!
    I assume you've double-checked the top-left corner to make sure you're not out of space.
    One thing you might try (after making sure you have backups of things you really need) is to copy a Numbers document into the Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers folder and see if that somehow "kick-starts" the sync. 
    I assume you've done all the usual things–shutting down and restarting the Mac, etc.

  • How can I disable iCloud on my iMac and my iPod touch 5th gen?

    My ipod touch 5th gen now syncs through icloud. How can I disable icloud from my ipod and my imac and go back to syncing through iTunes.  Is it possible to do this without losing the data in contacts and ical?  Any ideas would be much appreciated!

    With the iPod connected to your computer go to the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck the box that says: Sync with this iPod over Wi-Fi.
    Also in the Summary pane check the box that says backup to the computer.
