How can I retrieve my Pages documents?

I Installed iOS 8.0.2 on my iPad 2 and all my Pages documents have disappeared. I've been working on a book so really need them. I assume they have been backed up to the cloud but I don't know how yo find them. Help that Is easy to follow would be greatly appreciated. i have shut my iPad down and restarted it but Pages is empty.

You'll need to copy the Pages documents from the old iCloud account to the new one. To do this, go to iCloud.com from your Mac and sign into the old account. Launch Pages beta and confirm that your documents are still there. Assuming they are, select them, then click the gear icon on the menu bar and choose Download Documents and choose the Pages format. This will download copies of the documents to your Mac. Drag the downloaded documents to your desktop and double-click on them to extract them from the .zip files. Next, sign out on iCloud.com and sign back into your new iCloud account. Launch Pages beta in the new account, then drag and drop the documents from your desktop to the Pages beta window to upload them to the new account. You can now access the documents from devices signed into your new account.

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.

This is usually a function of the driver you're using. Have you looked in the various PDEs for black and white or grayscale? What kind of printer are you using?

How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format. How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
Is that what the export feature is supposed to do? I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
Pages ’09 v4+
Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
Pages v5+
Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
Backup your work.

How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

Try this.
Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
Save it with a new name.
Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

A year later...same question: How can I get a Pages document embedded ???

How can I get a Pages document embedded into an email? (so that the recipient sees it immediately and does NOT have to open a PDF). Although I know a PDF is universal and would allow anyone (mac or not) to open, read and see my business newsletter, I want it to be instantaneous for viewing. So, which leads me to a question I've kicked around for a year now on this discussion board. How do I turn a Pages doc into html for email purposes? If there isn't a way with Pages, How about with Word (the newest version) for Mac? Someone has to know this art, I receive emails like this all the time, probably from Apple! ha ha .
Please help!

In Mail.app, single page PDF are directly readable so you may try to
print your page #1 in a PDF
then
print your page #2 in a PDF
and so on.

As Apple removed the export to html feature, I assume that it's no to reintroduce it one day

Can I retrieve a Page document I just closed without saving? (-:

Can I retrieve a Page document I just closed without saving? (-:

If the OP's information is correct (Snow Leopard), there is no autosave.
Otherwise, the idea that you must save once before autosave kicks in seems to be one of those bits of misinformation that gets repeated so many times that everyone starts to believe it. I never used Lion or Yosemite, but certainly with Mountain Lion and Mavericks, autosave does save documents before they are saved to a real file. Since that is essential to the ability to restore open windows on relaunch, I am pretty sure it also applies to the systems that I haven't used.
I think the system may not keep versions until a document is explicitly saved.
Closing an unsaved document will discard the autosave information in any case, but, at least with the way I've had my preferences set, it does throw up a dialog asking you to confirm that you want to discard the data.

How can you save a pages document so it can be opened in Microsoft Word

Word can't read .pages documents. You have to export the Pages document to a Word document. File > export or share > Word

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
Here is the support article that explains it all.

How can I save a pages document with a new name

I often make changes to pages and numbers documents and save them with a new name. This seems to be impossible under LION. To remove the save as command is very shortsited. The only way I found to get around that is to save the changed document as a templete, remove the changes I made to the original document, Open a new document using the templete I just created, saving that document under the name I would have created using the save as command if it was still there, and then delete the templete. How in the **** is this better? Lion has disrupted almost everything I used to do in Snow Leopard.
The only thing that syncs with mobile me is email. Everything else quit working. I reported the mobile me issue to Apple and am waiting for them to contact me.

I think the issue is easy:
1.- Try to go to the File Menu
2.- Then hold down the Option Key
3.- You will see in the File Menu (while you press the option key) the "save as" option.
4.- Choose the "save as" option.
5.- Choose the file where you want to save your document (you can choose any folder or sub foler in your mac or even iCloud). If you want to, you can even rename the open document where you are working in.
I hope this would help

How can I combine multiple Pages documents into one using iPad?

Hello all,
I have created a magazine with my students using pages. The problem is that each article is a separate documents. Now I have to put them all together. How can I do that, using iPad? Is it even possible?
Thank you

copy paste is the only way to do it on a pad - document by document.

How can I batch convert Page Documents to the Doc format, and keep them in the same folder?

I have hundreds of Page documents in a folder structure for school that all need to be converted, but remain within the folder structure. Are there any scripts or methods to make this task easier before I go by this one-by-one?

If you seriously expect an answer you'll need to give more information than the rather vague "can't"s so far.
What version of Pages on what version of OSX?
What exactly are the messages you are getting?
Which scripts have you tried?
Have you tried Automator and Smart Folders?
