My pages documents won't restore from iCloud, how to fix?

I recently did a hard reset of my iPad 2, i thought it would fix a problem that proved to be a hardware problem, rater then a software problem. I got (almost) everything back from iCloud, exept for my document in apple programs (pages, numbers and keynote) i am going to talk about pages, as it is the same in all 3 apps.
When i open pages i see my old documents, but they are black icons with a pen and ink. I have tried to restore from settings, but everytime i switch on the restore option and open pages, nothing happens and the restore button is put back to off.
I don't want to reinstall pages, as i get a message saying that i will lose my files if i delete (something about the documents not being updated)
I use pages quite alot, and the documents are important to me. Can i fix it? If yes then how.

Brian...
On the iPad tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Documents & Data off then back on then reset your iPad.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

New ipod won't restore from icloud

If I set up my ipod as new, can I still restore from icloud?
I purchased a new ipod touch yesterday, and in the course of setting it up, it will not restore from icloud, so I thought I might be able to set it up as new and still restore from icloud once I got it set up, is this correct? I would update from itunes, but my computer's operating system won't allow me to update to the newest version of itunes, so the ipod and computer won't "talk" to each other.

Do other devices now connect to the router OK?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Try on another network as Apple recommended.

My iPhone 6 Plus won't restore from iCloud Backup

I had backed up my iPhone 5S nightly, including an hour before I got into the apple store to get my 6 Plus. It will not restore from iCloud to the new phone, no matter which of the old backups I choose. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you solve it?

Yes, yes & yes, I am on my home wi-fi & have tried on a personal wi-fi hotspot while out, I had enough iCloud space before, but after deleting my last backup I've got loads & my phone stopped automatically backing up, so have been trying using the backup now button.

After deleting all data and trying to restore from icloud, How long does it sit on the choose backup screen after choosing your backup?

I backed up on icloud and then went to settings and deleted all data. When my phone restarted and I got all the way to choose icloud back up to restore, my phone has now sat on that same screen for over 2 hours now. Only thing that has happened was a message that popped up and said that could not connect to itunes server. Is it just frozen or is it actually restoring? I have tried restarting the phone and starting over several times, but everytime it just sits on this screen. My son did his and it was working within 20 mins.

And which account did you enter these contacts in?
On My Mac
or
iCloud?

Whats my next move as I CANNOT use the ipas at the moment!!!!!!!!

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.

Trying to restore from icloud backup to new phone

I have just bought a new phone as old one was damaged. I am trying to restore from icloud backup. when it asks for a rescue email address it won't accept the address I am submitting even though it is not any of the addresses that are already registered with icloud as apple id, alternate or rescue emails. this has happened with two different email addresses now, neither of which icloud have a previous record of. not sure what to do now!

You actually have to go through extra steps of setting up your phone as new, updating and then erasing and restoring from that back up.

I just recently restored from icloud but my passkeeper app did not restore. I lost all my passwords. is there a way to rerestore to get that info?

Please, I am wondering if there is chance that i will be able to retreive my info. I restored from icloud. the app that did not restore is "passkeeper". It's a password storage app that works really well. Tha problem is that it did not restore.

Do you recall what you did? if you remove an extension through the Add-ons page or use Firefox's Reset feature, normally your passwords are preserved. Not sure what else would have been recommended.

TS4036 Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud. You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.

Help plz this massage comes up when i restore from iCloud. You have reached your device limit also says Ur apple id has been restored to the maximum number of the time last 90 days.

Have you shared your AppleID with anyone - family member or spouse? Any given AppleID can only be associated with 10 devices at a time (five of which can be computers). Once you reach that limit, the 90 day timeout applies before that AppleID can be associated with another, new, device.
You can see the explanation here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
All you can do is wait the 90 days, sorry but I know of no way around that. If you think the message indicates an error though, then use the Express Lane web support pages to send a note to the AppleID support folks.

TS4036 My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud.

My camera roll will not restore from iCloud after updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6. It shows I have 1.7 gigs of photos stored on camera roll but none are appearing on my phone. Everything else restored from iCloud. When I go to iCloud.com my photostream is not there.

A response I put together from another post. Also going into iTunes and choosing to sync phone to iCloud then back "this computer" sometimes works.
First thing.. Stop where you are. Don't try to sync, update, hard reset, iCloud... Just stop.
Check on your phone under 'SETTINGS' 'GENERAL' USAGE'. It should show some value for PHOTOSTREAM. Also, connect to iTunes and you will notice at the bottom of your phones summary page that there is a large amount of 'OTHER' data.
I used third party software called iExplorer (formerly iPhone explorer). In this program you select 'MEDIA FOLDER', then 'DCIM'. In the various apple folders (IE: 101APPLE) you should be able to preview your photos and copy them to your desktop.
From there sync them back to your device through iTunes or whatever method you use.
There is a simpler solution I'm sure, which may involve using iExplorer to delete some .plist files then restart the phone and let it rebuild. I'm going to try it myself AFTER I've finished copying all the photos to my MAC
Hope this helps.

Pages app is not updating from iCloud

My pages app is not updating from iCloud after I installed the new ios8 and of course an update to the Pages app. Did follow the recommendation not to upgrade to the iCloud Drive on initial upgrade to iOS 8.
When I log on line - on the iCloud site, I am able to see all the documents. These also appear on my windows iCloud Drive (Of course the updating is so slooooow ).
Have tried the following:
1. Enabled Pages to update via iCloud and iCloud Drive - documents not updated
2. Enabled Pages to update via iCloud and DISABLED iCloud Drive - documents not updated ( Pages update via iCloud switches off by itself)
please if any one has a solution to this Help!
or it means just be patient and it will eventually down load the documents. So Frustrating !

Sorry, misunderstanding.
I've purchased Pages from iTunes two/three months ago and all worked fine on both iPhone and iPad.
Now here is the problem mentioned above: after upgrading iOS, it is disappeared from both devices still remaining on iTunes.. but I'm not able to re-install it by each other syncronization (as I can for all the other apps) as usual.

Phone does not restore from icloud (invalid device while updating mme delegate account)

Hi
When restoring an iphone4 I get to the part that says restore from icloud, then enter the user details (if you get them wrong it tells you) then it moves onto the Terms and Conditions page which you then click agree. At this point I either get "there was a problem connecting to the server" or "invalid device while updating mme delegate account".
Help ....
Any ideas please

Sorted it by clicking the home button and choosing start again, the phone then erased its self and the next time it started the restore process worked fine

Restoring from iCloud Backup

I just got my phone last night and used my iCloud backup to restore the new phone. I also hooked it up to iTunes to get my music faster. My problem is on the lock screen it still says Restoring from iCloud Backup and won't let me update the iOS. How long should this take? Do I need to do anything? It seems like it should be done by now.

I hooked it back up to iTunes and it seemed to help. I no longer have this issue.

New phone still restoring from iCloud backup

i have purchased a 5s four days ago, it's stating still restoring from iCloud backup.
my old phone 4s I backed up to cloud wifi and launched new phone data through wifi as have no computer. it won't let me access any apps or iTunes or complete iOS 8.3 until this is completed. Help please.

I finally got mine to work. I let the iphone run its course and it finally restored everything. I wanted to make sure I got everything back, but it didn't sync my non itunes purchased music, so I had to manually do that via the computer. By my estimates it took almost 80 hours, minus 20 of those spent at work and odd hours here and there when I wasn't connected to wifi. So about 50ish
It is frustrating though that it took so long. Apple needs to come up with a better solution in the future. I thought this problem was solved last year with the problems that plagued the ios7 update. It will probably only get worse since iCloud storage just got upped for everyone.

Camera Roll not restoring from iCloud back-up

Due to an extremely large amount of "other" on my iPhone 5 I decided to reset / delete and restore from iCloud. Camera roll IS turned on in my cloud back-up, and I backed it up just before reset / delete phone.
When I restore from iCloud back-up everything works perfectly except my camera roll reloading. It just continues to say 'Downloading" (with the little circle thing going round & round) with no change or progress. It never says "downloadng xx of xxx" or anything like that. The photo stream has restored with no problem.
I hope I can restore the camera roll because it has videos that aren't saved anywhere else, but if not how the heck do I stop the "downloading..." at the bottom of the camera roll folder and get on with my life? Any help will be much appreciated.

Actually I posted here only after trying ezjules suggestions No luck. Even stranger is that even after I "stopped restoring" my camera roll is acting the same,; still says Downloading at the bottom. Strange.. Here is a screen shot after I have stopped the restore in settings.
