Upgraded my iWorks Apps--now my old iCloud documents are gone?

I recently upgraded my iWorks suite to the newest version on my Macbook Pro. Now when I go to Pages and try and open something from iCloud, all my documents are gone. They aern't visiblue on iCloud.com either. What happened to them?

Sure, no problem.
Before the IOS 8 update, Apple's offsite file storage system for iWork was called "iCloud".  I had dozens of Numbers files stored on this system.
Under the new IOS/Yosemite regime, the offsite file storage system for iWork (and now all kinds of other files, too) is called "iCloud Drive".
When I upgraded my iPad Mini to IOS 8, I selected "Upgrade to iCloud Drive" instead of "Not Now" because I accepted the fact that I would only be able to access my iWork documents on my Mini and the iCloud web interface, but NOT my Macbook (running Mavericks).
But now it looks like my Numbers files were not migrated for some reason.  They are not available on my iPad Mini or the iCloud browser interface.
I called my wife at home to have her boot up the MacBook and try to access a few important Numbers files.  She was able to open them and save a copy of each of them to the Macbook's local hard drive.  So I guess my most urgent problem has been contained (I think I may have access to my Numbers files on my laptop), but it is still an open question why all my Pages files migrated from (the old) "iCloud" to (the new) "iCloud Drive" and my Numbers files didn't.
Clear as mud?

  • All old pages documents are blank

    Did the update to Pages 4.0.3. iWork '09. Running 10.5.8. MDD Dual 1.44
    Now all old Pages documents are blank.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks,

    Kensey,
    Have you recently begun using Lion? Has it been more than 2 weeks since you last opened those documents?
    Did you notice a button marked "Unlock" in that dialog that informed you that the document was locked?

  • I upgraded my 3rd generation ipad to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.  Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone.

    I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues. 
    1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open.  I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear.  I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
    2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone.  There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
    I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on.  When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones.  The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything.  Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
    3- I cannot delete any apps.  I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it.  I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself.  I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result.  I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
    3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen.  If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway).  If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
    So now I'm stuck.  My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step.  Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever.  I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
    Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 and now my purchased ring tones are gone.

    I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 and now my purchased ring tones are gone.  I followed another comment and can also say that they do not show up under "purchased" in my "app store."

    @lovehelmet good joke!
    Today I visit an A1 Telekom store and I ask about this problem. He say "the programmer are working to that and today or tomorrow you will be able to set any APN or other settings".

  • When I did the upgrade it resulted in a factory reset. Now all of my ringtones are gone from iTunes. Anyone have a solution?

    When I did the upgrade it resulted in me having to do a factory reset because it was pausing for long periods of time. It went through the backup and all other steps but now all of my ringtones are gone from iTunes, thus the phone. I tried to redownload one I had purchased and it made me purchase it again (I did this as a test), and it said I had purchased it before but still required me to purchase again.
    Anyone have a solution/thoughts/help?

    Command + Z undoes the last action you did, did you just move those files into that folder?
    Use Spotlight to search for the files, or look for them in their original location(s).

  • I just created a new iPhoto library with holding the option key down and then opening iPhoto with version 7.1.5.  I changed the name of the first library to iPhoto library 1 and now I all my photos are gone.  My operating system is Mavericks.

    launch iPhoto wile holding down the option key and select the original library - when you create a new library of course it is empty
    And you seriously need to backup your iPhoto library and purchase and install iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store and download and run the iPhoto library upgraded \then run the new iPhoto - 7.1.5 is not fully compatible with Mavericks

    PS you also need to update your profile - it states that you have OS X 10.6.8

  • HT201272 I had Pages and many documents associated with it on my generation 1 ipad. I just got an ipad Air. I downloaded Pages to my new ipad but all my documents are gone. How do I go about getting them back. My old ipad was backed up to my computer.

    I am trying to locate my old documents from my generation 1 ipad. I downloaded Pages to my ipad Air but my documents are gone. I did back up my old ipad to my computer but I didn't restore my back up to the new ipad. I wanted to start fresh. How do I go about getting just my Pages documents from that backup and by the way, how do I access that back up?

    You will need to restore the backup - just downloading the app from the store won't give you its contents from a preivous device, you will need to restore the whole backup onto your new iPad (which will replace its current contents) to get the app's content.

  • TS1474 i updated my ipod touch and now all of my songs are gone. How do i get them back?

    i just updated my ipod and now all of my songs are gone. how do i get them back?

    You can get iTunes purchases back by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

    " but the mac didnt allow them because of some apps on my phone s"
    What does this mean?
    How did you try to import those pics?
    You import pics from iphone just as you would from any digital camera.  They are not part of the sync process at all.
    I am trying to figure out what exactly you did.
    Bottom line is that the pics are gone unless you have a backup of your iphone on your computer from a time when the pics were on the iphone.
    In the future you should be importing your pics to your computer regularly.

  • Backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

    Help! My husband backed up my songs from itunes onto a hard drive and now my playlists in itunes are gone from my library! How do I retrieve them back to the way it was before?

    Hello Nataroo007,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    There is a file in the iTunes library folder that contains your playlist information is the iTunes Library.xml file.
    Try and find the file, usually located in one of these locations depending on your OS:
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes Folder
    Mac OS X
    /Users/[your username]/Music
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\
    Then you can import this file to your iTunes Library like this:
    1. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.
    2. Navigate to the "iTunes Library.xml" file
    3. Windows users: Click Open.
    If your Podcasts list in iTunes is empty after following these steps, learn how to add them back into iTunes.

    Hey renie1515,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    When you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
    Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
    Note: Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90-day timer. You must wait 90 days from the day the device was first associated with your Apple ID before it can be associated with another Apple ID.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

    I Installed ios6 on my iPad and now all my calendar items are gone.  I tried deleting my email account and adding it back in but still no calendar items

    I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted  all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well.  I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me.  Not very reassuring.

    my mom updated her iphon4 last night and now all of her contacts are gone.  i have tried everything that I have come across and nothing is working. help?

    What cloud service or contact manager was she syncing them to? They should still be there and she should be able to sync them back.  If she was not doing so, they are gone.

  • Iwork Apps does not see iCloud

    on my iMac, pages, keynote, and numbers can't see iCloud as an option to open or save documents. Preview and the Text application on my Mac can use icloud just fine. Are there any settings or troubleshooting steps I can do?

    Are you using Mountain Lion? If not, you will need to upgrade to Mountain Lion as well as updating the iWork apps to 9.2.
    If you are using Mountain Lion & have updated iWork, you do need to enable Documents & Data in System Preferences > iCloud.
