Why did iCloud delete my pages documents on my iPad and iPhone?

I opened up pages on my iPad today after having ios5 for a week and I watched it delete all of my documents. It said that they were deleted from another device, which they were not. All of the documents on my iPhone also disappeared. I am going to try restoring from a backup, but what happened?

Same thing happened with my numbers document. Never have this problem with iDisk. I called Apple and no answer given. Use other ways to backup or stay with iDisk for the mean time.

How can you delete a Pages document from your Ipad but keep it on your MAC?

You will need to keep them in folder on your hard drive somewhere other than in iTunes or they will be deleted from iTunes if you delete them from the device. I have a folder on my Mac called iPad Pages Documents - very original don't you think!
Here is the support article that explains it all.

Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.

If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
Email messages are not stored in your backups.

Why won't Netflix nor iTunes load on my iPad and iPhone since I downloaded iOS7 and I OS 7.0.2?

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone?

Why can't I open facebook videos on my ipad and iphone any more? I used to be able to open most but now I can't open any. Now it just comes up with a message 'unable to play video.Check your internet connection and try again' There is nothing wrong with my internet connection. I am on wifi and full signal strength. This is happening on both ipad and iphone. It's not the problem where sometimes a video wants Adobe to open it. This message comes up as soon as you try to click on the video play button in the video. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this please?

Thanks for this Griff but it's not the app that isn't responding. I am in the facebook app (on both iPhone and iPad) and the app is working fine but if people post a video I can't look at the video on the iPhone or iPad. i always used to be able to but now it keeps coming up with the message I mentioned above. So I can no longer watch videos from facebook on either my iPad or iPhone. Here is a screen shot of my phone of what is happening. As you can see I have full wifi so there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. This is really annoying as I used to be able to watch videos on both phone and ipad out of facebook. now I can't. Hope you can help. regards and thanks Vicki

Curretly, there is an iCloud blackout. It started this morning around 2AM California time (Pacific), 5AM New York (Eastern). A lot of people have been having issues all day, including me. No iCloud services are online. Even Find My iPhone is down.

I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok! What to do??

You need the new versions of both to sync data between them. If you don't have the new versions on your Mac, they will not sync.
BTW, the new versions do NOT overwrite the old on Mac. When you install them, the old versions are retained.

ICloud syncing Documents on Mac, Ipad, and iPhone Not working

Can someone give me some ideas what i need to do so i can take all that mobile working on to my desktop ?
Anyone that knows how to do this step by step would be a great help.

The problem is that there is not a single application that makes use of this on a Mac. Not even iWork09 v9.1 where everybody thought it would sync to the cloud and to iOS5 - it does not.
Iwork Users need to open Safari, go to www.icloud.com, into the iwork section there in the browser and drag and drop the files from Mac to the cloud this way to have the documents in the cloud and have them available onto their iOS5 , too.
No way around that clumsy solution.
"documents and data" is currently limited to iWork for iOS only. ( Sketchbook Pro for iOS and a handful of mini apps start using it too, on iOS that is all - not on Mac ) .

Did you try setting itunes to run with administrator privileges?
Since I changed that I no longer have this issue

Do I need to turn on iCloud backup for auto sharing between my iPad and iPhone, example photos, reminder, notes, contacts, etc

When I turn off iCloud backup then I think my iPad, and iPhone stop sharing contacts and reminder phone stream etc, so do I need iCloud backup to be turned on

No. Backing up to iCloud is entirely separate from syncing data with iCloud to your other devices. Backing up to iCoud is entirely optional and turning it off shouldn't effect your iCloud syncing in any way.

Deleted emails reappear in inbox on iPad and iPhone even in airplane mode

Whenever I delete either read or unread emails from my inbox on both iPad and iPhone 4 they re-appear in the inbox between 30 seconds and 1 minute later. I've seen other posts suggesting this might be due to the fact that I'm leaving my mails on the server so I switched my iPad to Airplane mode so that it couldn't check the server, I then deleted an email and sure enough 30 secs later it re-appeared.
Does anybody have a fix?

ok.

ICloud deleted my Pages documents after Yosemite

I'm having a bit of a issue.
Yesterday i updated my Mac to Yosemite from Mavericks. Everything went fine except some of my Pages documents were missing. I can't see why this should happen, they're just gone right away.
I've a little background story:
Earlier, like maybe 3 weeks, I logged into my iCloud account on iCloud.com, to access a Keynote presentation. To open it I was forced to upgrade to iCloud Drive - bear in mind this was before iOS 8 or Yosemite were released. So I upgraded to iCloud Drive and everything went fine after that. Although every time I had to access or create a new document on my Mac in Pages, I got this message which said something like: "iCloud Drive isn't supported for Mavericks. You will need to upgrade to Yosemite, to keep all your documents up to date across all devices."
I just closed it every time it showed, didn't gave it a simple thought. Because of this every document that were created AFTER upgrading to iCloud Drive, got this little label under it saying: "Waiting". I know that it means it is waiting for syncing to my iCloud account, but again I just thought it would sync after upgrading to Yosemite.
Well... I didn't. All the documents with that little label, were deleted upon finishing the update to Yosemite. I can't access the documents on any device, iPhone or iCloud.com, apparently I've been deleted from all devices. I tried accessing the documents on a Mac running Mavericks, with my iCloud account logged in, but that didn't even showed any document.
So I'm kinda screwed as of right now.
Any help would be great, honestly.
Macbook Air (13", medio 2011) OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Your backups are inadequate, but you can try the following procedure.
View your documents in iCloud by selecting
File ▹ Open
from the menu bar and then clicking iCloud in the upper left corner of the dialog.
Enter Time Machine. Scroll back to a snapshot of the dialog that predates the unwanted changes. Select the documents you want to restore, the click Restore in the lower right corner of the display.

Why did iCloud take ownership of Documents

I had a MobileMe account for the past several years. on both my MBP and iMac. After a recent OS upgrade, Apple took the liberty and moved my MobileMe account onto iCloud. Apparently iCloud also took over control of all my documents and data during the switch over; at least on the iMac, all information previously manageable and stored on my iMac harddrive..
Today I went to check out some data entries and found that iCloud has control that if disabled, it also removes any documents and data from the harddrive. How can this be. I don't remember giving permission for this takeover bid. Can someone explain why this happened? Now I cannot change this

stevejobsfan0123,
You replied: iCloud will not touch anything stored on the device, only items in the cloud
I understand what you're saying, but accordingly, when I unchecked the iCloud box 'Documents & Data', a popup warning displayed:
[ If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents shared in iCloud will be removed from this Mac. Your documents will still be available on other devices using iCloud. (action buttons: Cancel and Delete from Mac). ]
Of course I don't want to lose any documents or data, so I clicked 'Cancel'. Please explain.
And, how did iCloud automatically obtain control of all of my documents and data in the first place and how do I get control back?
