Where is the documents and data option?

I don't have the documents and data switch in iCloud settings on my iPhone 6. Ive checked my friends iPhone 6 and he has it. I've tried to lookup a possible answer but all I have found is to remove my profile which I don't have.
I just have one iCloud.
Any ideas?

No I don't, I don't have Yosemite on my macbook yet. Will it benefit me If I put iCloud drive on my phone even if I don't have it on my macbook?
The reason I want to be able to fix this issue is because I have an app: Clear that I want to sync with iCloud so that it matches my macbook Clear app. When I try to turn on iCloud in the apps settings on my phone it tells me that I have to enable iCloud documents & data.
Thanks for the help!

HT4847 what happens if i turn documents and data option off

what happens if i turn documents and data option off

This is what Apple says about documents on icloud.com (from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910):
iWork for iOS apps
For documents created with the iWork for iOS apps, you can download those files by visiting icloud.com/iwork on a Mac or PC and downloading a copy. After downloading the files, you should back them up using the normal methods you use for backing up local files such as Time Machine, manually copying files to external hard drives, and burning to CD/DVD.
Other apps
For other apps using iCloud Documents, contact the app developer for more information on how to keep a copy of that app's data.
If you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, you will see a list of the apps that are storing documents and data on iCloud (under Documents & Data). You can tap each item listed there to see the file names of any documents.

Do iOS apps that are ONLINE translators (e.g requires Wifi or internet, such as Google Translate) store every translation you type in the Documents and Data files?

I have several apps that are translators. Many of them are for offline use, (especially ones that cost money) but they keep eating away at my memory with every translation I type. What about the ONLINE translators, like GOOGLE TRANSLATE? Do they store the translations inthe app's Documents and Data, or not at all? Please help me! I'm dying to know! Also, does Google Translate charge you money for unlimited translations, or is it entirely free?

No no no, thank you. However, I learned just now that "flash storage" does not equal "Documents and Data" because I noticed that the Documents and Data for Google Translate increases very slighty with every translation (faster if speaking the translation). But this doesn't bother me at all. Why? Becuz the app size is oh so small (2.3 MB) & every translator (all 50+ of them) is included for free (how dope is that?) without having to download any additional memory for each language. So when the time comes to delete and redownload it due to memory capacity shortage, it still requires only 2 MB to redownload it. I bet that won't harm my device at all. Hey, I can live with that!
Thanks for your support for my question, Deggie, kudos!!!

When you sync your phone, what info is in the "documents and data" ?

I have 5MGB of "documents and data" and can't figure out what's contained in that so I can clean it up.

Documents and data include any files that you have saved on iCloud and info that apps have stored in iCloud.

Viewing Modes at fullscreen- where's the Zoom and Panoramic options???

I was wondering if there was an option to crop videos in Quicktime for Mac, so I had a look at the help viewer. Then, under 'Viewing Movies at Full Screen' I noticed it states that in fullscreen, you can move your cursor up to View, you can access Fit to screen, Zoom, and Panoramic viewing options.
The problem is I can't see those options anywhere. Where are they? I am on the latest version of Quicktime. Is there something I am missing? Are there any keyboard short-cuts for these? Is there any cropping options available that I am missing?
Thanks for any help.

Although QT Player 7.2 offers full screen playback without the Pro key I'm wondering whether the other full screen options are Pro only. In any case, try this -- go into full screen display using command-f at this time your movie should be in full screen and now try pressing command-4 (which may give you a "zoom" mode -- it does on my Pro version of QT7.2). Next press command-5 which should produce a stretched or panoramic mode. Actually, all of following command codes should change the display mode (after entering full screen mode with command-f):
command-0 (50%)
command-1 (100%)
command-2 (200%)
command-3 (fit to screen)
command-4 ("zoom" or fit to width).
command-5 ("panoramic or stretch/distort to fill entire screen)

How do I delete all of the documents and data/progress in an app through Apple/iTunes?

I don't mind if I have to delete and reinstall an app to do it but so far that hasn't worked, I'd like to delete all the data asociated with an app from my iPod permanently - it seems to be impossible to do on the app so is there a way to do it through Apple/iTunes? Thx

Hey lab1950,
If you check out page 44 of the iPod touch user guide, it says that to delete a song from an iPod touch with iOS 6.1, swipe the song, then tap Delete. This also works with Albums or Artists if you want to delete multiple songs at once.

Where are my documents and data?

This sounds silly...I've stored Textedit docs (I THINK) on my iCloud in the past. How do I retrieve and download these docs on my new iPad? Where do they "live"?

If you have used Migration Assistant, you should know that Migration Assistant creates a new user with your migrated files.
The only thing you have to do is to go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created, so you will access to your files

Can I reinstall "Documents and data" in iOS 8 after switching off it?

I have not upgraded to iCloud Drive yet because I use an old Mac with Mavericks.
I've switched off the "Documents and data" option in Settings/iCloud, but when I've wanted to switch on it, that option has dissapeared.
I don't want to upgrade to iCloud Drive now, I just want to see my iWork data in "Documents in the cloud" in my iOS 8 iWork. "Documents in the cloud" is working in the Mac.
Thank you.

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup and choose Turn Off & Delete at the prompt. Then go to Settings>iCloud>Backup and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

What is documents and data in storage?

My iPhone 4S has been threatening with being full for ages and I just don't have that much stuff on it. Photos, videos, apps, and music all account for less than half of the 16gb space on the phone. When I plugged it in to back up my files (since it just deleted ALL of my contacts over night), it is showing that over half of the storage space is being taken up by "documents and data" - anyone know what this is? I need to delete most of it to clear room for more photos!

Document & Data on iPhone is junks files including browser history, cookies, logs, caches of photos and videos, database files stored by your apps. You’ll notice that some apps while being very small themselves have accumulated a lot of data. An example of this is shown in the image below, you see that the Facebook app is 109 MB whereas the Documents & Data stored is 1.2 GB. This 1.2 GB is what goes into your “Other” data.
These apps on iPhone don’t provide a way to delete Documents and Data, uninstalling and reinstalling the app is not the best option here. With the help of CleanMyPhone or PhoneClean you can delete the documents and data on iPhone without deleting the app itself.

What is documents and data and how do I remove it?

When I updated my phone I noticed documents and took up a lot of space. What is it and how do I remove that?

I made some significant discoveries on the Documents and Data battle last night and wanted to share.
1) Turning off Documents & Data made no difference in the 4.7GB chunk of mystery space being used up by D&D on my iPhone 4S.
2) Removing Texts did help, but I was still left with 4.1GB of mystery space. I had one text message with my son in the USAF that had lots of videos and pictures. I made sure to save them to my Camera Roll before deleting. But that one text was over .5GB. So Texts matter.
3) Backing up and Restoring just my Settings did not eliminate any of that 4.1GB.
4) Reseting my phone as a new phone initially did, until I added my two email accounts.
JACKPOT.
5) My Gmail account, upon extensive review, retains all the same folders on my phone as it does in my Gmail account on the computer (which I've never once visited). I looked in each folder until I came across one that said All Mail...containing 830 emails that date back to the establishment of that email address in the summer of 2012. On my phone there is no option to delete those, other than the painful process of going Edit>Tap>Tap>Tap>Tap>Scroll>Tap>Tap...830 times. I logged onto my Gmail account on the my computer, visited the All Mail folder, did a mass delete (100 items at a time) and then emptied the Trash
6) All 830 items were still on my iphone and were not budging without individually being deleted and I couldn't find a Sync with Gmail type option, so I deleted the Gmail account and then added it back to my phone immediately.
BOOM - Docments and Data went to 60.1MB.
The good news is that if you have a Gmail account and need to fish out an old email, you probably can. You have to work at it to make them go away. I had one come in this morning and had to flush it through my Inbox, the All Mail and then the Trash to get rid of it. I've opted to instead use the Gmail app for that account to save me this drama again.
I also use an iPad and through the cloud, had duplicates of ALL my text messages and the gmail account. Which explains the 'your storage is almost full' messages I've been fighting.
I am happily restoring all my music and plan to spend today in an 80s music haze. I hope this helps someone.
Good luck to all.

Turn off documents and data

I don't want to backup my documents and data on iCloud. When I try to turn this option off, I see "If you turn off documents and data, all documnets stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac"
Yikes! What the heck is that all about and how can I get around it?

The documents and data will remain on the iCloud server and your Mac will no longer have access to them if your turn this off. To keep a local copy, you'll need to save them first as discussed under "Documents" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910.

How to clear documents and data for third party applications

Anyone can help me how to clear the documents and data for apps like facebook , i tried to delete the app and re-install but there is no change , please advise ,
thank you.

Manage the data on the device via iTunes.

Ihave over 7gb of saved text messages that i cant delete, ive deleted all my texts and it still says that. ive read that backing up with icloud and turning off documents and data would eliminate this issue... well how...?

icloud will not allow me to backup my phone because of the 7gb of data its too much for the 5gb free space on icloud and i have the documents and data turned off in the icloud settings so i dont understand whats taking up all the space? the only thing i have on the settings is my photos and thats only 4gb. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I want to turn off Documents and Data iCloud syncing (in Sys Prefs on iMac) but it insists on deleting all docs from my iMac! HELP!

I don't want to sync my 'Documents and Data' with iCloud any more (iMac, iPhone and iPad). When I go into iCloud in System Prefs and try to uncheck the Documents and Data box it tells me 'all docments stored in iCloud will be deleted from this Mac'. Really need to keep all my docs and quite shocked that iCloud would even consider deleting them from my iMac. Does anyone know any way round this other than backing everything up and restoring it after it's been deleted? Thanks!

Hi doodlebuglondon. I understood you throughout the thread as I have the same situation. I turned it on, then decided immediately to turn it back off. It then gives you the scary warning, assuming you understand under what circumstances documents got stored in the iCloud. Like you, I had no idea. But I did see 5 GB of 5GB available on iCloud Storage, which was a hint. So I opened a folder with some Pages documents, turned off Documents & Data, clicked the big scary "Delete from Mac" button. If it had really deleted my iWorks documents, like you, I would have had to restore perhaps 40 or 50 disparate folders. Whew!
Did it work out OK for you? I note you were very clear in pointing out you hadn't actively put anything in iCloud, but who knows whether Apple magically puts stuff in iCloud for you. I couldn't find that explained anywhere in Apple's "instructions", but I'm sure it's buried in there somewhere.
