Restore Pages files after changing Apple ID on iPad

Hello:
Anyone know it it's possible to restore  the Pages documents that were on the iPad after chaning the Apple ID?
When I first confirgured my iPad, I used my Apple ID to set it up; however, in the process of migrating MobileMe to iCloud, my MobileMe account became a second Apple ID.  When I switched the iPad to the Apple ID create via the MobileMe migration, all of the Pages files were deleted.
I'm looking at the iPad backups stored here:  <UserHomeDir>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
I was hoping it would be a simple matter of going to my hard drive back up (I have both a TimeMachine backup and a recent clone of my hard drive); however, it's not a simple matter of finding the files that were part of my original Apple ID and copying them over as the backup is stored in a file structure that does not seem to allow direct access to the files.
Any thoughts as to how I might retrieve the files are greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Warren Heaton

Phew!
I just got off the phone with AppleCare.
It turns out that there's nothing to restore.  All of the documents that were created while using my original Apple ID are "in the cloud".  As such, they are accessible through my original Apple ID.
Logging into iCloud.com with the original Apple ID allows access to all the files.  From that page, the files can be downloaded to my Mac and then moved to the Apple ID that resulted from migrating my MobileMe account.

    If you log out, it will ask if you want to delete the data on your advice.
    All data will remain in iCloud.
    Login back in with new AppleID will restore it.

  • TS1702 after changing apple id, do all apps have to be re-installed under new id

    After changing both my apple id and icloud id (to one and the same), I am unable to instal upgrades to previously installed apps - as my old apple id comes up and I am unable to change/delete it.  I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions.
    Thanks!

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You can not update or re-download them using a different ID.

  • Time Machine Restore individual files after reformatting

    Is it possible to restore individual files to my G5 iMac after i reinstall/reformat OSX on it?......i dont want a full restore
    The time machine is currently backing up this G5 iMac

    Do you really need to erase and start over?
    It's rarely required on OSX, and rarely accomplishes much.
    If you're having performance problems, it's almost always better to address them directly. As Kiraly, a frequent poster here says, if your kitchen faucet is leaking, start by replacing the washer, not tearing out the entire kitchen!
    If you reinstall OSX and don't transfer your user accounts from your backups when it first starts up, via +Setup Assistant,+ (per #19 in but instead set up a user account "from scratch", that account may not be recognized as the one on your backups, so won't have permission to view or restore much, if anything, from them.
    Even if it is, see the pink box in #11 of [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for a rough outline of what you'll be looking at doing.
    See #19 there for info on +Setup Assistant.+

  • Can't find some files after changing drive name

    I keep all my music files on an external drive, and my iTunes folder (and iTunes Music folder) on the internal drive. After changing the name of the external drive, a good number of files (not all, and probably not even most, but a lot) couldn't be found by iTunes.
    I'm suspecting that this problem results from having my files stored externally and separate from the internal default iTunes Music folder, but I'm hoping someone can give me some more details about this and hopefully help find a solution. Thanks.

    In the root of the filesystem there normally is a folder "lost+found", in which files with strange names are found. These are the files cvfsck has collected in the recovering of the filesystemnames. It is sometimes not possible to recover the original file name and location. So this is the only way for cvfsck to give them back.
    If you think the content of these files is allright, you can rename and relocate them.

  • After changing apple ID, it still asks me with previous e-mail address

    After I changed my Apple ID, my iPad mini is still asking me the old Apple ID with my previous e-mail address when I update applications including original apple applications. can't update them. How should I do so that my present e-mail address will ask me the new Apple ID?

    Do you mean that you've updated the primary email address on your existing account or created a new account ?
    If you updated your existing account then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and select 'sign out' on the popup, and then sign back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If you created a new account then you can log out and in as above, but any apps (and other content) that you downloaded with your old account will remain tied to that old account, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.

  • IMessage not working after changing Apple ID email

    After changing my Apple ID email from Yahoo to Live, I haven't been able to receive any iMessages, but I have been able to deliver them.

    I recently changed my Apple ID and, initially hit all sorts of problems (ML & iOS5.1). AppleTV very confused, Calandar duplicating entries on an iPad, but losing them on the Mac (but being correct on iCloud.com).
    The solution ended up being straightforward, if unnecessarily annoying.
    On the Mac - in SysPrefs (iCloud) turn off all syncs and sign out. Delete items from the Mac (in response to the prompt).
    On the iPad - in settings do the same.
    On the ATV - turn off Home Sharing.
    In iTunes - log out of the Apple Store
    Sign out on iCloud.com and sign back in using a @me.com email address (not the Apple ID)
    Reestablish iCloud sync (etc) by signing in using the email address (not the ID).
    It appears that everything collects the new Apple ID using the email address and they all play nicely together again.

  • Problem restoring my files after system recovery

    Hey so, I just recovered my system. The process had me backup all my files on an external harddrive. I now am trying to restore the files from the harddrive using the cyberlink recovery manager, the problem is that, everytime I run the app it freezes after about an hour. The progress bar remains at 0% even though i see files being copied below it. Any ideas on how to circumvent this? Do i need to use recovery manager? All the files in the folder are in some format that looks as though theyre useless without an app configuring them. 

    There is usually one file in the backup that has .EXE extension, maybe be named Restore.exe or Recovery.exe. Clicking it extracts the files.

  • IMessage on iMac freezes  after changing apple ID

    I changed apple ID. My iMessage started freezing the computer for at least 3- 10 or more minutes. It's an ID issue I'm told because I opened new account on mac and as soon as I logged in Apple ID iMessage and it did same thing to that account called Tester.

    Hi,
    In that case contact Apple Support and ask them to look at the iMessages server with regard to your Apple ID.
    The use of the Apple ID is device specific and it can be "refused" for a Mac when and iPhone still works.
    As Level 1 people at Apple Support tend to Script Led you may need to ask to speak to a Level 2 person.
    Even then you may have to endure some testing such as looking at the Keychain.
