Pages documents disappeared

Last night all my Pages documents disappeared on all my devices (I have 4 of them). I was not able to restore them either in the time machine, or in iCloud, or in other ways. All my work for three years is gone! How can I restore them? :(

iMac 27″, macOS 11.6

Greetings, Zorya_Polunochnaya!


Welcome to Apple Support Communities! If we understand correctly, you're running missing Pages documents across several of your Apple devices. We will do all we can to help get you pointed in the right direction. First, you said that your Pages docs went missing across four different devices. What type of devices and which version of the software is on each device?


Were the Pages docs saved in iCloud? (It sounds like they were if they saved the same across all your devices.) If so, check out this guide with information on how to find those documents: If you can’t find a document in Pages for iCloud. If the Pages file is still on the Mac, you may find this information helpful: Find a document in Pages on Mac.


If you follow these steps and are still unable to locate your documents, you may want to reach out to Pages Support directly.


We hope this information helps you out.


Take care!

Zorya_Polunochnaya,


Thank you for returning to the Apple Support Communities with this information. Since this issue is happening across all your devices, it seems to be related to iCloud. For further iCloud support, you'll want to Contact Apple for support and service. They may have guidance to offer, as they work with iCloud issues directly.


Kind regards.

Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately it did not help me.


All my files, plus the Pages files I store in iCloud. I was trying to restore files in iCloud before I contacted you.

I have iMac 2015 (Big Sur Version 11.6.2), MacBookPro 2017 (Monterey Version 12.1), iPad Pro (Version 15.3.1), iPhone X (Version 15.3.1).

In all devices, all Pages files disappeared, when I turned on the iMac, my files disappeared before my eyes... This happened after updating the OS version on my iPad.
