I set up iCloud on my iPad so I could sync with my iMac and now I cannot open documents on my iPad. What am I doing wrong?

I have an iPad two running iOS 8.2, with pages 2.5.2
Late 2012 21.5 inch iMac running Yosemite, with Pages 5.5.2
Yesterday,following directions in iMac Magazine on my iPad I turned on iCloud for Pages.
My documents disappeared from my iPad. After finding out how to locate them in iCloud I am unable to open them to edit or even read them for that matter.
What am I doing wrong.
Can I get my documents back on my iPad?

Thanks.  That was indeed the problem.  A few hints for others with this problem.  You can only find out that you need to upgrade, and upgrade, by cabling your iPad to your computer.  Then the next Tricky part is making sure you have your iPad purchases saved on your computer.  Then you download the new OS upgrade and you will get a "start up" type of screen on your iPad with a few questions.  Nowhere is there a very good explanation that you want to then go back to your computer and restore your iPad.  I finally did that because there were no other obvious alternatives, though all the warnings made me very nervous.  After the restore command, I synched my iPad and I seem to have everything back, and I can now access iCloud.  maybe I missed some instructions somewhere, but I found this process much more obscure than the usual Apple directions. Thanks for your help!

  • My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
    There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

    Morning AndreD86,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    These articles explain exactly what is backed up by using their method.
    iTunes: About iOS backups

    and

    Also we want to double-click the Home button and swipe the Task Bar to the right.
    Then make sure the button on the far left of Task Bar is not muted.
    Best of luck,

  • I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

    I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

    That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
    You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
    Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

    Mmmm, try checking for available downloads from the store menu, if that doesn't help, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

    I am getting account not verified when trying to set up icloud on my iphone. I check my email and there is nothing in my inbox or junk. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
    Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • My ipad has not been backed up in 32 weeks now reach cannot get in to my ipad. what do i do

    My iPad has not been backed up in 32 weeks. Now I cannot get in to my iPad. Please help.

    If you have that message on your iPad's screen then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You can then force a backup via Settings > iCloud > Backup

  • My iPad was printing to my HP wireless printer and now it won't..any suggestions on what I might try to get it back?

    I was able to print from my iPad to my wireless HP printer and now I can't.  Any suggestions on what to do to get it back?  Will resetting network settings help?

    Are you getting any error messages - or is it just saying No Printers Found - if the latter this has happened to me - I have 2 networks on my airport express (my network and one for guest access0 - sometimes my iPad switches to the guest network which does not have wireless printer on it ( i dont know why it does this) - if i switch the iPad back to my network the printer shows up again
    In fact see the No Printers Found message is a pretty good indication that the iPad has switched to the guest network

  • I have an iMac 24" EMC 2111 intel core 2 duo running OX lion and would like to set up a first gen Apple wireless keyboard. It has been discovered but won't let me type the code. What am I doing wrong?

    I cant set up my older wireless keyboard with my iMac. The Apple site shows this keyboard model as needing a USB keyboard and mouse for initial set up, but I dont know how to do that. Blue tooth finds the keyboard, yet when I need to type the passcode, nothing happens. the keys wont function. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

  • I bought an iPad from a friend and can't activate it under my account!  What am I doing wrong?

    The previous owner says it's been deleted from iCloud account, but when I try to activate it, it still says it's linked to former owners email!

    He needs to sign onto his iCloud account on a computer and remotely erase the device: https://www.icloud.com
    Once he has erased the device, then he can click on "Remove From Account"

  • Started a Pages project on my MacBook Pro, edited it on my iPad Air, went back to MacBook and now can't open it on MacBook. What can I try?

    When I try to open it on MacBook it says this:

    Found the answer.
    I had not closed/saved what I was working on, on the iPad before the battery died.
    I plugged in the iPad, saved/closed the article I was working on and that solved the entire problem.
    It's now working well.

  • My ipad was logged into a fake (typoed) account, and now I cannot update any apps.  Help?

    My apple ID is:  [email protected]
    For whatever reason, very clearly a simple typo, it logged me into '[email protected]'.  I don't know how, I don't know why.  I do not have a password for that account, to my knowledge that account does not exist.  However, now *all* of my apps, especially those I have bought (and can prove to have bought) with my real account, ie, [email protected], are listed as [email protected]  I cannot update any apps, as they say they are linked to another account.  I bought them with this account, the other account doesn't even exist.  What do I do?

    Yes.  I have also wiped and restored the ipad.  I have also tried updating the apps via itunes on my mac.  It always says the account is [email protected]  It isn't.  I have proof I bought it with [email protected]  I have credit card receipts, apple receipts, et cetera.  The account has always been, and will always be @gmail.com.
