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.

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.

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.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Your question is a little unclear, however if you mean how can you retrieve documents you have created on your iOS device on your Mac, then you need to download them at iCloud.com using the web browser (Safari or similar) on your mac.

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.

Your back up via iCloud is only for use for restoring your phone after wiping it. You can't inspect or utilise specific parts of the back up.

How do I download documents
from my computer to Ipad?

Apple has the iBooks app for compatibility with pdf flies. If you do not have it on your iPad, you can download it for free. My personal preference for pdf's is the free Adobe Reader app. It has so many more useful features than iBooks, but if all that you want to do is save the pdf's and organize them into collections, iBooks will work fine. So download an app that you can store pdf files in.
In order to transfer pdf files to the iPad, you can do that via iTunes. If you are using iBooks on the iPad, you have to add the pdf's to your iTunes library via File>Add to Library. Then you can select them to sync to the device by selecting them in the books pane of iTunes when the iPad is connected to your computers iTunes. This explains how to add content to iTunes. It works with pdf files as described in this article.

If you use the Adobe Reader app, you can use iTunes File Sharing to transfer the files.

Can I delete photos on my iPhone or iPad after they are on my iCloud? How do I retrieve pics from iCloud?

Can I delete pictures off my device once I have pics on my photo stream? How do I pull them from iCloud once they are deleted?
Thanks!!!

Yes. To back up your photos, save them to your computer while they were in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You will get an option to delete them from your device after they are imported.
If you have photo stream photos that you need to back up, save them from your my photo stream album to your camera roll. Then they can be imported too.

How do I delete movie from iCloud on my iPad

How do I delete movies from iCloud on my iPad

That's a big fat lie, I have 10 movies via digital copy and takes 0 space from my icloud backup. & we have 5 devices backup to my icloud account AND I have my backup storage to basic 5GIGS. So right there you say to make you pay more storage is a BIG FAT LIE. Our devices contains 8-64GB's and everything fits in a 5gigs space.
You might as add well the apps accounts for space to. WRONG!!
Those apps are in your account but not in your storage, the iTunes App Store part, doesn't even add to your icloud storage. Your backup contains the save files, network routers you connected in the past plus the small layout how you customized it over your home page.
That part takes small kb of space needed to save all that.
Movies on your device will take storage but if it's NOT on your device, IT WONT!
Like I said, once it's added to the account via key from the case to your account, stays tie to your account & will NOT take space from your icloud backup storage.
And don't even forgt that I have 5 device from my family with 10 digital copies on one storage with 5gigs and have 800's MB left. We use our photo/videos we took from camera to a remote secure site onto our computers.
Simple as that, if you don't listen to that then I feel sorry for you not listening.
But your not gonna get any other answers besides logging out what I said months back. GOOD DAY!
Ps. If there were, you've been already got an answer besides mine. Go ahead and waist your life lookn for an answer which doesn't have an answer to other than that what I said.
And yes, that's what I meant JJorvath. Hide it but will not get off your account bc it's not part of icloud backup.

I can't download a document from iCloud on my iPad

I cannot download a document (over 100MB ) from iCloud on my iPad . Any idea why? I still have enough space.

You do have to consider document syncing realistically. Whilst download speeds of 16, 32 or 50 Mbps are quite common, upload speeds are another matter, with many ISP's providing users with little more than 1 Mbps. At 1 Mbps a 250 MB document will take in excess of half an hour. Such times may well cause problems if documents are regularly being opened and edited on multiple devices.
