IMac Pages document to iPad Pages app

How can I copy a Pages file on the iMac to the Pages app on the new iPad?

You can email the file and then use the Open In option from the mail app. You can use iCloud if you have it set on on the iPad. If you running at least 10.5.8 on your Mac you can use iOS file sharing with iTunes.
Read this for information on file sharing.

if you are using iCloud on the iPad, you can just launch Safari on the Mac, log into iCloud.com, click on the iWorks icon, click on Pages at the top and then drag the file into the browser window. It will then be available in Pages on the iPad.

How do I restore the missing documents from my iPad Pages app?s

All the documents from my iPad Pages app have just disappeared. I do have them on my iMac in the iCloud. How do I restore them to my iPad?
Thanks in advance,
Lori

So, am I understanding you correctly, that I need to remove the Pages app and then reinstall it? How does that restore the documents? They are still showing up in iCloud on my iMac. I want to know how to get them back onto my iPad. Is there anyone who can tell me in a step by step fashion how to do this? And thank you David743 for your attempts.

I have tried back ups and restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

Pages App on Mac won't open documents created on iPad

My pages app on my mac wouldn't open documents created on my iPad, it said that I needed to down load the newest version which I belive I had. So I put it in the trash hoping I could re install but now I can't open it at all :-(

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

The updated Pages App. Documents sync between ipad and iphone, but only open on ipad. When I try to open docs on iphone, a message comes up saying "Cannot open document."

My iPad 2 and my iPhone 4S automatically updated my Pages App, which I used all the time. It did sync all my documents between the two devices but it will not allow me to open docs on iPhone, only on iPad.
That's never happened before. I am just now updating my phone (4S) to iOS 7.0.3. Maybe that will do the trick?

Thanks very much for the instructions. I encountered this problem this morning myself and the recommendation fixed the problem immediately. When things like this happen with iCloud and Pages it makes me wonder if I might be better off using something else, having just recently had to fix the problem that the current Pages can't read documents I created with a much earlier version until they were "upgraded" by an interim version.

How can i save and download word documents on my ipad without the pages app

Need to know how to save documents on my ipad so i can share the same version of documents between my computer and my ipad on the same network. I do not have the pages app. and Most of the documents are either pdfs of word docs. so need to be able to save them on ipad and retrieve them when i am on the move. Pls help?

You have to have an app on the iPad that is compatible with the particular file type that you want to save, edit or share. You can look at any of the word processing apps - Pages is one, Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro - but you have to have one like that in order to save and edit Word files.
With pdf files - iBooks will work to save them - but that's all. Other apps like GoodReader will let you annotate them.
You have to decide which app will serve your needs best and them download them in order to save, edit and share those file types.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

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!

I recently updated my iPad now I can't access all the documents in the pages app, any advice to to get them back on my iPad?

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

Pages App on iPad Won't Open Document

After yesterday's update on the Pages App, I'm unable to open up new documents on my iPad. Is there a bud in the update or what? Is there a solution?

try closing the pages app
double tap home button to reveal task bar
swipe screen till you see large icon image of pages app. Swipe up and off screen to close
tap home button to return
open pages again and see if that helps
or try this
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

Why when I opened pages app on my iPad we're the documents there and then disappeared? Now they are gone!

Can anyone tell me why when I opened the pages app all my documents were there and then disappeared. Now they are gone!!!! How can I get them back?

Try this:
1) On a web browser (on a computer, not on an iPad) go to iCloud.com
2) sign in with your Apple ID and password.
3) Once you are signed in, select the orange 'Pages' icon.
4) If there are welcome screens, continue until you get to Pages web version
5) Are your documents showing there?
If yes, delete Pages app from your iPad, and reinstall it. Your documents should reappear when you open it after installing. If no, then the only possibility would be if you have previously made a back up on your computer with iTunes.

HT4991 I tried to update my pages app and it stopped. I cannot use app and it states if I delete app and reinstall I w I'll loose all documents. Help please. I am using IPad with IOS 5.1.1

I have the same problem, what did you do in the end to resolve it?

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad

Pages 2.0.2 doesn't open Pages documents from ipad 2. Document succesfully transferred as Pages document to computer, but Pages 2.0,2 wouldn;t open it. Version too old?

Pages 2 is iWork '06, two versions behind what the iOS Pages creates. You need to use Pages '09 which you can purchase from the Mac App Store as a stand-alone application or a retail box of the iWork '09 suite.
