ICloud deleted my Pages documents after Yosemite

I'm having a bit of a issue.
Yesterday i updated my Mac to Yosemite from Mavericks. Everything went fine except some of my Pages documents were missing. I can't see why this should happen, they're just gone right away.
I've a little background story:
Earlier, like maybe 3 weeks, I logged into my iCloud account on iCloud.com, to access a Keynote presentation. To open it I was forced to upgrade to iCloud Drive - bear in mind this was before iOS 8 or Yosemite were released. So I upgraded to iCloud Drive and everything went fine after that. Although every time I had to access or create a new document on my Mac in Pages, I got this message which said something like: "iCloud Drive isn't supported for Mavericks. You will need to upgrade to Yosemite, to keep all your documents up to date across all devices."
I just closed it every time it showed, didn't gave it a simple thought. Because of this every document that were created AFTER upgrading to iCloud Drive, got this little label under it saying: "Waiting". I know that it means it is waiting for syncing to my iCloud account, but again I just thought it would sync after upgrading to Yosemite.
Well... I didn't. All the documents with that little label, were deleted upon finishing the update to Yosemite. I can't access the documents on any device, iPhone or iCloud.com, apparently I've been deleted from all devices. I tried accessing the documents on a Mac running Mavericks, with my iCloud account logged in, but that didn't even showed any document.
So I'm kinda screwed as of right now.
Any help would be great, honestly.

Your backups are inadequate, but you can try the following procedure.
View your documents in iCloud by selecting
File ▹ Open
from the menu bar and then clicking iCloud in the upper left corner of the dialog.
Enter Time Machine. Scroll back to a snapshot of the dialog that predates the unwanted changes. Select the documents you want to restore, the click Restore in the lower right corner of the display.

I wish I could install Mac OS X 10.6.8 but since my computer...(a workhorse mind you) is a G5 dual 2Ghz processor, but NON-INTEL it will not run a version higher than OS X 10.5.8. At the Guiness dek in SF with another problem I was told my G5 computer will outlast the dual intel because they run hot. I wish they would make the higher versions PPC friendly there are many of us still out here ;( I'm suppost to have the faster at&t DSL but it hard to tell...at&t has been jerking with their system trying to get the city to allow them to put in huge boxes all over the city to supply TV. I haven't tried reinstalling iTunes...I will try that...thanks!

Preview not opening new pages documents after Yosemite upgrade

Just upgraded to Yosemite and also upgraded Pages to 5.5. Created a new Pages document and now, in Finder, the preview does not work. If I control click on the pages file and select open with Preview I get an error "The file “XXXXX.pages” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." Existing (previous version) Pages documents do open in Finder. Does anyone else have this problem?

Yes this has been reported by others.
No solution, so far.

Why did iCloud delete my pages documents on my iPad and iPhone?

I opened up pages on my iPad today after having ios5 for a week and I watched it delete all of my documents. It said that they were deleted from another device, which they were not. All of the documents on my iPhone also disappeared. I am going to try restoring from a backup, but what happened?

Same thing happened with my numbers document. Never have this problem with iDisk. I called Apple and no answer given. Use other ways to backup or stay with iDisk for the mean time.

I set up my new iPad, then deleted the Pages documents on my old iPad, but this had the effect of deleting them on my new iPad too because they are synced. How do I retrieve the deleted documents?

Sorry no. That's how it works.
Check if you still have an old backup and do a restore otherwise it's gone.

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

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 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.

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 utilize the iCloud to view Pages documents created on my MacBook?

I'm trying to figure out how to get pages documents from the iCloud to view on my iPad that were originally created on my MacBook. Do I need to download the pages app if I already have it on my MacBook? I guess I'm confused as to how to even find what's stored in my iCloud. When I save things on my MacBook are they automatically put in the iCloud?
Thanks in advance for help.

In which case you will need to upload and download documents to and from iCloud through the web portal at iCloud.com

Unable to open Pages document after emailing to colleague

I need to send a Pages document to a work colleague, where the document must be in pages format (not pdf or other).
We both use G4 powerbooks, latest tiger and iwork.
But when I email the pages document (via apple mail), two odd things happen:
- the file arrives at my colleague's email address in zip format, requiring unzipping...
- the unzipped pages file cannot be opened in pages, instead an error message 'the document cannot be opened' is received.
We've tried using apple mail, thunderbird, webmail, ... but to no avail.
How can a Pages document be emailed, as a .pages file, and then opened by someone else?
Guidance welcomed.

RossM,
Peggy explained why you need to zip Pages (and Keynote) documents. Mail.app tries to be smart an zips the files for you.
I recall that I saw a zip attachment in earlier versions of Mail. Now I just see a Pages document icon. When I delete an e-mail with a Pages attachment, it shows up in Trash with a zip attachment.
When I saved the zip attachment (testname.pages.zip) and unzipped it, some strange name appeared. I then simply removed the zip extension from testname.pages.zip and was able to open the file in Pages.
I'm not sure if this behavior is specifically with 10.4.6 and Mail 2.0.7 but check your versions and try to rename the "zip" file.
At least Peggy's suggestion to zip Pages documents before attaching them to an e-mail should work.

Can't see my pages documents after updating to IOS 6

After updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 6, now I can't see my pages documents in the cloud, what in the **** happen after updating?
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance

Did you tried to make a new one?
If that's not working, remove Pages from Multi Tasking and Force Restart your iPhone by holding Power & Home buttons until restarts. (Ignore "Slide to Power off.)

Cannot view media in Pages document after copying folder to desktop

I have created a document in Pages which includes video, which is saved in a folder called Assignments.I also have a folder marked Pictures and Videos which contains the media from the document contained within the Assignments folder.
However, the problem I am having is that when I copy the Assignments folder to the desktop and open up the pages document, Pages tells me that the media cannot be found, even though I have coped the Assignments folder to the desktop.
How could I go about solving this problem, as it's really quite irritating as nothing has changed other than me copying the folder to the desktop.
Thank you in advance

I use an other scheme.
I store the document and the media files in a disk image so, I may move the complete set as I want.

Can't open pages documents after time machine restore.

Hi, I had to do a restore of my document folder from time machine and now I can't open any pages documents. It just says not a valid format. It is only the pages documents that are affected. Not word documents. If I try to convert to plain text (or any format) in word i just get a blank page.
Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Missing Pages documents after Snow Leopard upgrade

I upgraded my Mini to Snow Leopard and now several newer, previoulsy saved Pages documents are missing. They were on the machine before the upgrade and I thought they resided in the documents folder, which I backed up. However, they are not there now (looked at Time Machine when I did the original backup).
Any ideas as to where they could be? Older Pages files are there in the documents folder
Prior to the upgrade I blew away everything in "downloads" but these Pages documents were newly created on the desktop and should not have been saved there.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

I can't close / delete a pages document. Can you help?

Every time I open pages a perticular document appears. I cannot close or delete it. Even if I force quit it. It reapears next time. Cannot access tool bar when it's open. Please help.

Menu > View > Show Layout/Invisibles
Now go command a (Select All)
What do you see?
Do you see any boxes around your objects with light crosses on the corners? They are locked.
click on them > Menu > Arrange > Unlock
The other possibility is you have moved the objects to the Section Master:
Menu > Arrange > Section Master > Make Master Objects Selectable
Or if you click on the text area and then see small white boxes on the corners and a group of objects moves together
Menu > Arrange > Ungroup
You have shown me only the poster, out of context and without any of the surrounding format options, so it is hard to tell anything about it. Even whether you are in Pages. It could even be a pdf file.
