If I create a Pages,Numbers,Keynote doc on my iPad 2, it pushes up to iCloud no problem. It will not, however, push it over to my iPhone 4S. Yes, they are on the same iCloud account. Settings are all switched on.
Photostream, however, does work.
Pics taken with iPhone move to iCloud, appear in iPhoto, come back down to iPhone photostream. iCloud backup also works.
It's just the documents suite that will not propagate to iPhone.
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
Do you have Pages, Numbers and Keyword on your iPhone?
Allan
Are you kidding me with that question?
Thanks for the help.
Also, my iPhone is real, and not one that I've made from Play-Doh.
You did say so I asked. I can't see your iPhone you know.
You might not believe it but quite frequently problems are solved here that obvious.
No need to get snotty.

Sorry for being curt.
I've had this problem since I upgraded to the 4S two months ago and no one from Apple is able or willing to help me figure it out.
Having paid for the iPhone, and iWork on the Mac, and the IOS iWork apps, and iCloud upgrade, this is a major bit of functionality that I am lacking.
Very frustrating.
Sorry.
I am having exactly the same problem. It all worked beautifully on my iPhone 4, but I cannot get it to work on the iPhone 4S which is hugely frustrating as as you said we have paid for these apps and the upgraded phone. Could someone from apple please tell us how to make it work?
This being a user to user forum with no one from Apple here to read your question, the answer is NO.

So I have just spoken to Express Lane support (who were lovely and very helpful). We got it working by turning Off Documents in Settings -> iCloud on the iPhone 4S (this did erase the documents I had created in Pages on the iPhone but it's ok, they came back) and then turning it back on again.
The old faithfull off and on again method has come through for me 🙂

Glad that sloved your problem, Snoopy.
That was the first thing I tried, and I've tried it again a dozen times since then.
The last thing I tried was to shut that the iCloud account, completely erase the phone, restart the iCloud account, put everything back on the phone, and that didn't even help.
How did yo get through express lane, Snoopy?
Did you have to pay?
When I start that process the tell me I will have to pay or explain why I desrve an exemption.
I don't really understand this.
I didnt purchase Apple Care, but the iPhone was purchased at the end of November, and it doesn't work as advertised.
(Also: I spent 2 hours with some nice folks at the Genius Bar but eventually, after passing it around and commenting "Wow, that's weird", they couldn't help me and handed it back to me and said "Sorry."
I registered the device with it's Serial number in my support profile http://supportprofile.apple.com and as it's within a year of purchase, I was covered. I classed the issue as an iPhone issue as I wasn't having it with any other devices, and put it under the "other issues" classification stating that it was an issue with syncing between the iPhone 4S and iCloud.
They were really helpful and generally started running through a list of possibilities, but it did have to be handed to a senior adviser as it's not seemingly a generally known issue. Perhaps you could try again?

I solved it.
Here's what I did. Hope it works for you if you have the same issue.
Apparently, there is a (not very well) known issue with migrating from Mobile Me to iCloud.
Turn off iCloud Sync for "Documents and Data".
Turn off iCloud Sync for each of the iWork apps.
Look under "Settings" › "Mail,Contacts,Calendars" and see if you have a Mail Account listed as Mobile Me. If you do, delete it.
Turn all iCloud syncing settings back on.
I did not. But, I had two Accounts listed as iCloud. One was my primary iCloud account which was syncing everything. The other was just syncing mail. I deleted the secondary account.
Documents in the Cloud immediately began to work.
Since I still wanted to check the mail for that account on my iPhone, I reinstalled the account.
Documents in the cloud still worked.
It just needed to be toggled off and on.
Go figure.
Hope this helps.
I have this issue and none of the solutions worked. :(
Also struggled for a long time. iCloud documents between Iphone and Macbook were syncing, but not with iPad. The following seems to have sorted out the problem (did it only on iPad):
Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings
After doing this, all my iCloud documents appeared in:
Settings - iCloud - Storage and Backup - Manage Storage - Pages.
All devices are now syncing
Same problem. I could see it in
Settings - iCloud - Storage and Backup - Manage Storage - Pages
but nothing is in apps 😟
iWork Documents do not sync with iCloud.
