icloud not syncing documents to between new ipad and iphone 4s

Documents created on my iPad or my iPhone will only display the documents that were create on the individual device, my spreadsheets from my ipad don't show up on my iphone, the presentations from my iphone don't show up on my ipad.

I've tried every combination of turning iCloud documents & data off in the iCloud setting and the app settings themselves.

They are both using the same iCloud account.

I have deleted and re-enabled the iCloud account on both devices.

I have restored both devices from back ups.


I never had this problem before I moved up from iPad 2 to New iPad.


Can anyone help?

iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1

I was having the same problem after I did a clean install on my iPhone. I couldn't get my iCloud to sync my documents, so I searched for an answer and found this tread with no result. so I thought for a minute.. And decided to go to iCloud.com on my iPhone and there it was, a button to set up iCloud on my iPhone, followed the steps and VOILA! All is well.

Hi Debi,


I gone through that process a few times, and done it after a clean install (not a back up) and it's not worked for me.

Apple have contacted me regarding this issue, but as yet no result.

Seemingly it seems to work for some people and not for others, without any reason.

Apple hardware is my only vice (honest) but these kind of problems can disuade you from regularly upgrading your hardware.

The person who inherited my iPhone 4 & iPad 2 doesn't have this problem. Hopefully this community or Apple will find a fix.

I have the same issue with my New Ipad. My iPhone 4S updates to iCloud and I can even see the documents in

settings-> iCloud -> Storage and backup -> manage storage -> Pages on my ipad, but pages won't sync with the documents on iCloud.


I have done everything also, deleted all iWork apps, restored ipad, renamed documents on iCloud, deleted documents and uploaded to iCloud and nothing works. Use iCloud is on in all app settings and documents and data is on in iCloud settings.


Have not yet found any solution, please help, it is very frustrating to have to copy to Dropbox every time I make changes...
