My Pages documents disappeared from iCloud before my very eyes.

Hello all,
I was at home getting ready for a presentation by writing a document in Pages on my Mac. I saved it to iCloud, and just to be sure it was there, I got my iPad and pulled up the document there. All seemed well, so off I went to my destination.
When I'm at the destination getting ready to present, I open my iPad and start looking at the document there. Then I get a message that says something like, "Your document has been deleted on another device." (This is impossible since I didn't delete it and no one else has access to my devices.) Then I watched in horror as my document and one or two others disappeared from the Pages iCloud list before my very eyes.
So I was stuck now no notes for my presentation. So uncool.
I looked up this problem here and see that a lot of people had similar problems back in 2011. Is anyone having this happen now? And if so, is there a reason/solution? It's such a dramatic problem it makes me not want to use iCloud at all.

My Pages documents disappeared from my iphone somehow in the process of changing my iphone account from a defunct email address to my new one. How do I get them back?

I changed my Apple account to a new email address and away from an address that was discarded last summer. Somehow, in the process, all my Notes word processing documents left my iphone. Did they go to the icloud for my old Apple account or just disappear completely? I can't access the old icloud since it requires a working up-to-date email address. Apple Security so far has not been able to help me restore my orphaned files. What to do now?!

HT201104 a document I was working on has just disappeared from icloud drive

I'm in a total panic. I've been working on a document for the past week, updating it between my mac and iPad. A moment ago, working on the iPad, a message came up saying that the document couldn't be auto saved and my most recent changes might be lost. The only option was to close the document. I did this and now it has disappeared from icloud drive completely. I wouldn't mind if I'd just lost the last 2 hours - but this is at least 24 hours of work. Does anyone anywhere have any ideas on where it might be? Because I'm on the move I didn't back it up on my Time Capsule as I normally would. I think I'm going to cry - I have a deadline of Saturday.
Thanks for any advice.

We can see the question. But, some more information might help.
What are you using to work on the document? (Pages, MS Word, ...)
You mentioned scanning. From what, using what?

Pages has disappeared from my Doc. I recently installed Open Office, is this why Pages has gone missing?

I know iBooks aren't backed up and that iCloud just backs up the purchase history, but I'm not sure about pdfs being backed up. Some people say they are:

It's probably safer to assume it doesn't backup pdfs. You could store your pdfs (for safekeeping) in an app like Dropbox.

Hi Poonam26c,
If you do not have a local copy of a song which you have purchased (i.e. it is available via iTunes in the Cloud), you may need to redownload it before you can transfer it to your device. You may find the following article helpful:

It is locked to your sisters carrier.
She would have to ask her carrier if they unlock iPhones and if she qualifies for this service.

HT4859 how do i restore documents lost from iCloud?

Documents do not get lost, they do get deleted. If you deleted - you need to look for local back up.
If you "lost" you need to check if they still in the cloud at icloud.com

All my PDFs/documents disappeared from my iphone 4

All my PDFs/documents disappeared from my iphone 4( version) 6.1.3 after i restored my device, while these PDFs still exist in my itunes books list. I can't as well add new PDFs/documents to my ibooks app.Please help.

A backup includes most items in iBooks, but I believe it does not include PDF files. Are you saying that in the App tab (in itunes), for iBooks, the PDF files still show up? Or do you mean something else by "itunes books list"?

All my email has disappeared from iCloud. I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from 28 August 2013. What happened to my old emails? How do I get them back? thanks

Have you checked whether the emails are visible at http://icloud.com ? If they are, it's a problem between your Mac and the website; sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again.
If they aren't, then it's a server problem and you need to contact Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee; if so you should argue that this is a problem they've caused (it's not the first time, by the way) and you shouldn't be charged.

Check your Outgoing server settings against your provider info.
Or delete the account and set it up again.

Can I get back a pages document which I closed before saving?

can I get back a pages document which I closed before saving?

The answer is no, even if you're using OS X Lion. (You don't mention what version of OS X or Pages you use.)
OS X Lion and Pages 4.1 autosave documents, even unsaved documents. But if you close an unsaved document, click the Don't Save button, then this document no longer exists.
Earlier versions of OS X and Pages do not autosave documents. So closing an unsaved document effectively deletes it.

Ok. I'm stumped. The right side scroll bar on my pages documents disappears sometimes. I don't know how to restore that function. If I widen the page field, it will appear for a short time. Very annoying if I am just using trackpad. What to do?

Ok. I'm stumped. The right side scrool bar on Pages documents disappears sometimes. I have no idea why. Nor do I know how to get it back. I've tried closing and reopening and restarting my macbook pro. If I widen the right side, I get the scroll bar for just a few seconds and then if fades away. I can't find anything it the help menus that fits it.

geek,
The scroll bar is consistent with the Full Screen approach in trying to maximize the working area of your screen. The scroll bar fades to make room for data. So, use your 2-fingered scroll or arrow keys for short moves. If you have a long way to scroll, the scroll bar will activate any time you scroll with the trackpad or the arrow keys and you can grab it and pull it to your desired position in the document.
One man's innovative is another man's irritant, I suppose.

ICal events have duplicated, now disappearing in front of my very eyes? What's up

Yesterday I opened iCal on my MacBook Pro to find that all my events were duplicated; today, some of them are totally gone and some are disappearing in front of my very eyes. Today, there is a new calendar listed at the left for my .me account, a duplicate of my .mac account calendar. I just checked my iMac, and the calendar there appears to be fine, no duplication or loss of events. I've used mobile me since it was introduced, but now suddenly, it is a mess. I need it to accrate on my MacBook, my appointment and meeting schedules are gone! If I reenter them, they redisappear. I want to upgrade my MacBook to Snow Leopard, but from other support communities, I've read that after the install, iCal had these very problems. Anyone know what going on? What's up APPLE?

I tried to get safari to open a .php file saved locally (works fine when opened from server).
PHP can only be run from a server.
I looked up why this was happening and I found people saying I needed to enable php and Apache.
Correct.
I did the steps to enable it but Safari would still only open a .php file as html code.
The only way to run PHP in Safari is through the address bar.
I was also learning at the time about myslq
mysql
Well, I should have realized deleting things using terminal was extremely risky. I did it anyway, looking through more forums, learning about directories I needed to delete and how to delete them.
Which forums are those? Most of that information on the internet is out of date at best and often flat out wrong. In the future, it would be best to ask here on Apple Discussions.
Did this begin, and I'm sure it did, when I was so foolishly deleting directories by copying and pasting directions on forums on how to delete mysql?
No doubt. Don't feel too bad. I don't know of anyone who has used ever used UNIX and didn't delete their home directories at some point - or worse.
I don't just want to drag back the deleted apps one at a time, I want to get all of my mistakes off.
You can always boot from your install disk, use Disk Utility to erase your startup drive, then reinstall a factory-fresh OS. I do that every couple of years, when I get a new computer, or on a major OS upgrade. It helps to clean out a lot of junk.
