I have the same problem, and updating or buying new software doesn't help.

I have Pages installed on my iMac (brand new), iPad (brand new) and iPhone 4s, and iCloud works beautifully for the most part. However I have this one document that I cannot access anymore on either of my devices. It simply says "document cannot be opened". If I try to move it from iCloud and on to my iMac, it says "document cannot be converted, get a newer version of iWorks". Which I can't, though, as I've already bought the newest version of Pages in pure desperation...

This document is extremely important to me. Unreliability like this will make me never use iCloud again - the risk would just be too high. Any thoughts on what to do?

I miss my iDisk.

A temporary fix for this (until the versions are debugged) is to open the document on icloud.com on your iMac. I have the same problem, and using Pages Beta on the website allowed me to open and edit the documents that would not open. A few of the formatting options from the other versions of Pages are withheld, but it serves as a temporary fix.

I just viewed my account on the app store (which signed me in, Idk if it's a necessary step or not), and then went under "Store" (at the top of the screen, on the top menu bar on the desktop), and clicked "check for unfinished downloads," which fixed it for me (pages and the other iWork ones started installing).

I also just updated my computer, if that info has anything to do with it.

I'm not sure if that will help or not, especially since my information is shaky. I hope it does though!

Also, I had to remove the iWork softwares' shortcuts from my dock, and replace them with the new ones.
