How do i restore documents from iCloud?

I have been doing a lot of searching, and not sure how to restore items....data to my MBP which had to have the internal HD wiped. I do have backups to 2 ehd

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Re-enabling document and data syncing should allow iCloud to put the documents back onto your iPad. Check settings > pages > iCloud (or appropriate app) to ensure that iCloud is enabled in the individual app settings.

How do I restore data from icloud to iphone

how can i restore data from icloud to iphone

You mean an iCloud backup? If so, first make sure your phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the device that backed up was running. If it isn't, you'll have to update it first in order to restore the backup.
Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

How do I save documents from iCloud into pages on my ipad?

HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

How can I restore data from iCloud

My iPad locked up last night and I had to restore to factory settings to make it operable. During the process it asked me if I wanted to restore my data and it told me that the latest and only backup was from a few minutes before that time which was AFTER all my stuff got wiped out. I was able to resync some apps and all my music from iTunes, but I lost a ton of pictures and other files that I thought were SUPPOSED to be safe on iCloud.
So I start reading about restoring data from iCloud and apparently Apple only does this on a NEW device. What a load of crap!
Does anyone have any idea how I can get my data from the stupid iCloud to my stupid iPad?

The "Apple data" such as contacts, calendars, notes, etc. are not backed up to an iCloud backup, since they reside in the special databases on iCloud. If you delete some data from a device (e.g. one contact), it is deleted from that device, from iCloud's database and thus from all other devices connected to that iCloud account.
Hence performing a restore from an iCloud backup will not help.
However, if that data was ever on a computer (assuming the computer also synced data from iCloud) and if you consistently perform backups using something like Time Machine on a mac or any number of backup programs on Windows, then you should be able to restore the data from that backup. For example, on a mac, invoke the contacts app then choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine icon on the main toolbar. That will allow you to go back in time and choose an older backup to restore.
If you have an iTunes backup on the computer, I'm not really sure that also includes the Apple data stored on iCloud. It should have the local data. For example, Contacts can be under "iCloud" or "On My Mac" (or whatever computer you use). An iTunes restore should restore the data on your computer.
The whole idea regarding an iCloud backup is that if your device ever fails and must be replaced or reset, the backup will restore all the data as it was at the time of the last backup. The restore will return all the device's settings such as iCloud login, on/off states of data to connect to (like contacts). Once that's done, the device will connect to iCloud and download the current data.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

that is how it is designed..
iwork on iOS uses different file extensions and formats (*.tef ) then iwork for Mac (*.number,*.key*.page) . It needs to be converted all the times so that the different apps can deal with the content of the documents.

How can I access documents from iCloud on my iPad.

how can I download docs from icloud drive on my iPad and edit them on ipad.

Hello Kalsulkar,
To use iCloud Drive and to work with documents, you will need the corresponding Pages, Keynote and Numbers iOS apps or third party iOS apps that support iCloud Drive to interact with those documents. To access the content, you would need to open one of those apps to see all the documents that are available to you for that specific app. Take a look at the article below for more information.

How do I restore notes from icloud backup to imac?

Somehow my "notes" folder and all contents disappeared from my Mail app on my imac, but the current version is on my iphone and icloud (notes on iphone set to sync to cloud). An older version (15 days old) is also in TimeMachine, but I'd much rather restore from the current notes in icloud.
How do I restore my current notes folder from icloud (or iphone) to my imac?
I don't seem to find the instructions in any other post. BTW, searching for words from the notes in spotlight showed no results on my imac, and it is not in the trash.
Thank you for any suggestions that could work.

I believe in Notes it has an indication what will be shown, in the upper left corner of the app see if there is a spot where you can indicate on Mac, iCloud, etc...I apologize, I'm not on my Mac at the moment and I'm writing from memory. Most of the iCloud based apps (Calendar, Contacts, etc...) have this setting in the upper left of the app.

How do I get document from icloud in the Pages app to sync to my ipad?

Ok, so I get the part about not having to sign in to icloud on an ios device, but that still doesn't explain why documents that I have stored in the icloud, itunes, and on my iphone are not automatically syncing to my ipad. When I try to open the Pages app on my ipad, nothing is there-shouldn't these be automatically syncing via the cloud? How do I get these documents to my ipad?
Thanks!

Ok, while I was waiting for an answer, I figured it out (at least one way to do it) myself. Here's what I did. I opened the documents in pages on my iphone (were already there from syncing with itunes on my PC). then hit the tools icon and selected share and print. Then I selected iwork.com. I did not have an iWork.com account, so set that account up via the prompts. I then got sent an email to verify my iWork acct-and it was set up. Then I sent the document to myself via iWork. I then logged on to iWork on my ipad, and the documents were there. I then selected download, after the document downloaded to my ipad, a tiny icon appeared in the top right hand side of my computer that said "open in pages", I selected that, then the document appeared in pages on my ipad- Finally!!!!! So, from what I can tell, for whatever reason the Pages app does not automatically sync in the icloud like it says it should- but you can access the documents if you use iwork to send the back and forth to yourself. Don't know if there is an easier way I don't know about, I'm not that ipad savvy since I just got one 3 days ago-any other ideas on how to do this quicker would also be welcome. What a pain!

How do I retrieve documents from iCloud on my iPad?

I have just gotten an iPad and want to use it to retrieve documents already created on my MacBook Pro and stored in iCloud. I have set up the iCloud account on my iPad and turned on Documents & Data in Settings. How do I login to iCloud from my iPad and retrieve a stored document?

You would need to use an app to do so, such as one of the ones mentioned here: http://meetingpool.net/blog/2013/06/17/six-apps-to-view-and-edit-office-document s-on-iphone-and-ipad/, but I'm not sure which, if any, can access documents stored in iCloud.
I personally just use a free Dropbox account to access Office documents. You can upload them to your Dropbox account, then view them from within the free Dropbox app on your iPad.
