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.

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.

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.

I have read the manual, but as I can see there is nowhere where it tells me how to put my Pages document in iCloud storage, could someone tell me?iDocbackup

Here is some information on how to get a document from your iDevice to iCloud (which means you need to have the iOS version of Pages installed on your iPad or iPhone:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/documents/
And here is a slew of other help articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search&src=support_site.psp.more&locale=e n_US&q=Documents%20in%20the%20Cloud
And, icloud is not really "storage" - it is meant to "push" a document you create on one iDevice to another.
FWIW, I assume you are on Lion? Please change your profile - it still shows 10.5.8...

How can i restore my documents from icloud on my iphone if i have already gone through the setup process??

How can i restore my documents from icloud on my iphone if i have already gone through the setup process??

Back to the beginning...
What do you mean by "documents"? Word or Pages files, spreadsheet files?
Also, on your device, in Settings>iCloud, you have to have an on/off setting for Docments&Data. If not what kinds of entries do you have on that screen?

When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages. When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

HT4859 how do i retrieve my info from icloud

How do i retrieve my info from iclou

If you're asking how to restore from your iCloud backup, this has to be done in the initial setup process. If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.

I just updated to iphone 5. how do i retrieve my pics from icloud to my iphone5?

the pics are listed on the iphone 5 manage storage tab as 8.3 gb on my phone but they mean my old iphone4 while only 39 MB are on my new i[phone 5. it says the iphone needs to be locked and plugged in to down load and backup. how do i retrieve my pics from my old iphone 4 icloud to my new iphone5 icloud. they are no longer on my iphone 4 either - only represented by the 8 GB in icloud.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Photos are not listed separately when you examine your iCloud backup, is the 8.3 GB file that you are referring to your backup file in iCloud.

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.

How do I save my pages documents from icloud onto my iMac?

To prove to yourself that the document are on your Mac's HD, do the following:
Switch to Finder
Hold down the Option Key while you click on the GO menu
Choose Library
In your User Account Library, navigate to Mobile Documents.
Double-Click the Mobile Documents folder and you will get a window titled iCloud and a listing or your local HD copies of the iCloud documents.

I deleted a pages document from iCloud. how do I get it back?

How do I recover a pages document that was deleted from icloud? I don't see a 'trash' folder. I was over eager in deleting my icloud documents to comply with storage.

There is no trash folder on icloud. On the mac, copies of icloud files are stored in the following folder(s)
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolders where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
Now use Time Machine to find versions of the missing file(s).

How do I delete 'ghost' Pages documents from iCloud / iPhone?

Today I got back a brand new iPhone 4 from the repair. It was already preinstalled with iOS 5, just updated to 5.0.1 and restored data from backup on iTunes. Enabled iCloud, opened Pages and…after 5-10 seconds iCloud started to sync and I got almost dozen "ghost" files in Pages — inf folders they look like normal Pages documents, but when I open folder, they are grayed out and at the top right corner they have arrow pointing upwards. Can't delete, can't open them.
Completely closed Pages, disabled data backup in iCloud preferences, turned off iCloud sync in Pages settings. Opened Pages, chose to delete all files in Pages. Restarted iPhone, enabled iCloud data backup and enabled iCloud sync in Pages settings, opened Pages, and soon real files appeared in Pages, which I could see also in Safari browser in iCloud/Pages section. However, after one minute all those "ghost" files and folders also appeared back! I can't even drag those "ghost" documents out of "ghost" folders, can't rename, can't delete. And someone not long ago ensured us that iCloud will surely work…
I deleted Pages application form my iPhone, installed from App Store again, enabled iCloud syncing and again after 1 minute all "ghost" files are back in Pages. In Safari browser I see only one "ghost" file, all the other "ghost" files and folders are not visible at all. Any idea what to do?

Problem solved! I completely quit Pages on my iPhone, then opened ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents folder on my Mac and deleted all those "ghost" folders and files there, also deleted the same names in iWorkPreviews folder. Opened Pages on iPhone and voila! — all those "ghost" files and folders disappeared for good.

My phone was stolen, how do I retrieve my pictures from iCloud?

I just finished a 3 week trip in Europe and on the very last day my phone (a 4S) was stolen. It contained all my photos from the trip. It's very unlikely that I will get the phone back, so I am hoping that there's a way to retrieve my photos. The phone was backing up to iCloud (I think), so theoretically everything would be on there.
How can I retrieve my photos? Is there a way to do it from my Macbook? Do I need to wait until I buy a new phone and somehow sync them onto there? Or are they gone forever?
Any help would be very appreciated, I had some extremely important photos on there of my late sister that I don't have anywhere else.

Make sure you are logged into iCloud on your Mac and Photo Stream is on:
System Preferences > iCloud
Open iPhoto > Preferences > Photo Stream > Enable My Photo Stream (and Shared Photo STream too if you want)
Now in the Side Bar There will be a Web section with Photo Stream in it.
Photo Steam only holds photos on the server for 30 days so you will only be able to retieve the last moinths worth of photos. Hopefully you have transfered the rest to your computer.
If you do not have iPhoto let me know.
