Why did Pages delete ALL of my documents?

"Your documents were removed from this ipad but remain stored in the cloud" And that appears to be the case. But why right now in the middle of using Pages to study for a midterm that's tomorrow? A TAD BIT INCONVENIENT. And a horrible scare while I'm trying to stay focused while studying. I've been using this app all weekend to review my notes, all semester for that matter while I take notes in several classes. I have a large amount of documents in Pages, most of which are notes from classes.
I can download one document at a time on my computer, but why can't I restore these documents to my iPad, and will Pages just get rid of them again? It's an old, first 64gb iPad, but it has 32gb of free space. Having said that I don't need to be told that I should buy a new iPad, as soon as I can financially I probably will, but I need this one to not scare me like that in the mean time.
Is there something I should do? Is it trying to tell me something? Any way I can prevent this in the future?

Tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Documents & Data is switched ON.
You don't need a new iPad. I still use my first gen iPad for storing documents in iCloud without any problems.

  • Why did iphoto delete all of my albums without me clicking anything?

    I was looking to upload a photo online, just browsing through photos, all photos were there, but I decided I wanted to edit it first. I click out. I go open iPhoto, it says it needs to be updated, I decline, it closes automatically. I open it agian, this time allow it to update, then all of my photos are gone. It says the last update was April 2011, when I know I have uploaded probably 50 different albums since then. I restart hoping this fixes things. It doesn't. I restart again, no dice.
    What happened? How could it have deleted all my photos? They aren't anywhere - I searched all images and pictures folders. I searched the iphoto library. What can I do?
    I'm particularly upset because it deleted my engagement photos and engagement party photos. Not to mention all of my holiday photos from this year.

    Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Why did iCloud delete all of my contacts?

    until today, i have always left iCloud off. i decided to use it is a backup for my contacts, and it deleted them. although i had them backed up on my sim, and did not "loose" them completely, it would help to know why this happened.

    1. The Contacts in iCloud is NOT a backup. Only syncs with all devices that use the same iCloud account.
         If you delete a contact from one device it will deleted from all devices AND iCloud server. This is SYNC.
    2. When you turned ON the Contacts in iCloud Settings, you was promted to merge. Did you tap "Merge"?
    3. Did you check if there is a "Group" button at upleft corner inside Contacts app?

  • Why does Pages delete sections of a document?

    While writing a document, Pages will suddenly delete a section of the document. Anyone else experience this?

    Pages doesn't delete anything. It is probably something you are doing that triggers this behaviour. Which device do you use Pages on? In this forum we mainly try to help those having computers. There is a forum for those using Pages on iPads too.

  • Why did Reminder delete all but one list?

    I launched Reminders to find 7 or my 8 to do lists were all gone. It still seems to be connected to my icloud account? Why would all but one just dissapear?

    On your iOS5 device go to Settings, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Scroll down to Calendars, then Sync, and set a timeframe from the list that works best for you.
    I hope that helps.

  • Why did I lose all of my docs in pages?

    why did I lose all of my documents in Pages?

    I'm being "snarky" for asking you to actually provide some information?
    Don't be so self obsessed as to imagine that we are constantly looking over your shoulder at what you are doing.
    All we have to go on is what you choose to tell us. If you choose not to, what do you expect?
    You are not alone in the childish "Mom, I can't find it!?" style questions. It gets wearisome playing 20 questions to just get to the point where you have a comprehendable question.
    We still don't know what version of Pages.
    Saved documents don't live in Pages, they are on your hard drive, on a server or some other device.
    "ALL" your documents is comprehensive. So you have no documents of any description left on your Mac (now that we know it is a Mac) or anywhere else?
    AS Peggy pointed out, if you never saved the document, it is gone.
    We are still struggling to find out what you are talking about.

  • 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.

  • Why did i loose all my apps and music from my phone when i updated it?

    WHY did i loose all my apps and music from my phonewhen i updated it?

    Without knowing all of the information we can only guess  .... And my guess would be that you did not have the apps selected to sync from iTunes on your computer. If the apps are in iTunes on you computer, select them to sync  and sync again.
    Connect the iPad and sync again - if you auto sync. Then after the iPad syncs the first time - leave it connected to the computer and select the iPad from the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Apps Tab in iTunes. Select each app (click on the boxes next to the names), then click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked as well.
    If the apps are not in your iTunes library - if you had never transferred the purchases - you will have to download them again via the purchased tab in the App Store on your iPad. Make sure that you use the same ID to redownload the apps that you used to buy them with.

  • Why have you deleted all the common search engine in the SEB?

    Why have you deleted all the common search engine in the search engine box. It appears that all you want to do is irritate your public!

    They have not been deleted, as they are not present in your computer it indicates there is a problem with your system. Try removing the search.sqlite file as shown in the "Unable to search" section of this link - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_search_or_add_new_engines
    That file contains details about the installed search engines, deleting the file will force Firefox to rebuild the list.

  • HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
    Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

  • TS3899 Why cant i delete all my email inbox messages together?

    Why cant i delete all my inbox email messages together?, I'm using my iPhone 5s, i can delete all my junk email messages together but not my inbox email messages, i have to individually tick each inbox message one at a time tick/delete, its extremely annoying, it doesn't make any sense, can anyone please explain why such an obviously much needed function has been left out for email inbox messages but included only for junk email messages?

    There's no one from Apple here, thus no one here can answer your question. You can make suggestions to Apple using this:

  • Is there a way to lock the screen?  Why did it copy all my iphone apps?

    I really would like to lock the screen so it doesn't change position if I move it a little bit. Anybody know if this is possible?
    Why the heck did it copy all of my Iphone apps onto itself even though I told it not too? Not too happy about that...
    Otherwise I think it is absolutely amazing. The touch screen is very responsive. In fact, I think it is perfect.

    There's a little switch above the volume buttons on the right side. Flip it and try turning the screen.

    Not sure since we're not sure the processes you took to sync it. When its plugged into your computer and you are viewing it in iTunes you can go into the "Applications" tab and select which apps you want and don't want. On the main info page there is a checkbox that says sync apps automatically".
    Cheers.

  • Why does iTunes delete all my music and then re-download (not all of) it when I sync?

    So, I plugged my phone into my PC, and it loaded on the iTunes screen. I then went into the device and removed a couple of playlists from the phone (it had run out of space). When I then hit sync, rather than just removing the playlists and syncing to update anything that needed updated, it bloody well deleted ALL my music and then started downloading it again. We are talking about around 30-50GB of music. Not only this, but it appears to NOT download all the tracks on my playlists so I'm left with half the music I should have.
    I have had this happen before and last time it totally screwed up my phone leaving me with the only option of completely reinstalling iOS7. Has anyone else had this happen? Is it fixable?  Not only this, but I am aware of "manage music manually" but have no idea where it is or how to activate it. I'm just bloody sick of apple! Why can't they get their **** together and fix these little bugs. I love their hardware but they clearly have too many ego driven tossers programming their software who don't think fixing issues is their problem!
    Any help would be most appreciated as it's driving me up the bloody wall! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

    I'm not sure why this happens, but I found a workaround. Below the album title it will list the artist(s). The issue seems to happen when there are multiple artists. For example, an Album titled "Over the Sea to Skye" has The Chieftains and James Galway as artists. Some tracks (for whatever reason) will list only one of these and result in the playlist showing what appears to be multiple albums. You can click on the artists and it will highlight. Paste in what is appearing on the other "albums" and it will then show as one:
    Hope that is somewhat clear enough to help. Doesn't fix whatever the issue is but it is a workaround. For me this is only happening with CD's that I have imported.
