data lost from pages document after iOS 8 update

Question

data lost from pages document after iOS 8 update

I committed a mistake of not taking a backup of my iPhone data before updating to iOS 8,

so when after the iOS update and Pages update I opened the Pages app for the first time,

it asked for resolving conflict between the edited version of the same document as I make editions in my document from time to time and these are updated via iCloud

but when I selected for the latest version of the edition to be kept for resolving the conflict,

I was shocked to get a very old version of my document,

which means I have lost all the material I had put into my document in the last few weeks.

Please help me,

it is very important document on which I have been working for the past 3 months

And tell me if there is some method to retrieve the same data from my Mac with which I sync my iPhone,

may be there is some data stored in the backup in my Mac from the Pages document

Thanks

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1

Based on your description, you are syncing Pages documetns via iCloud, I assume?

When you updated the phone to iOS 8, did you activate iCloud Drive on it?

Same here with Numbers, I was using iOS 8 beta, updated to the actually release, and now I am missing data for the last month or so. I checked iCloud.com Numbers and iCloud drive and I don't see the info anywhere.

On the device, sign out of iCloud and then back in.

This morning, I opened the Pages app for the first time since upgrading to IOS 8. All of my documents have been lost.

I Signed off Icloud and restarted my IPAD. There are still no documents in either my Iphone or Ipad version of Pages.

Does anyone know of a way to recover my documents? Some of them were very important to me.

Unfortunately, if your individual icloud settings for Pages and Keynote were not switched ON before you did the update, then the files were not being sent to the cloud. To make sure these are ON, go to Settings/ scroll down the left side to Pages settings, turn on Use iCloud.

Has Apple or anyone supplied an answer to this problem we are having ? I too lost stories - 8 that I'd been working on for a couple of years. Now they're all gone!! "No Documents Found."

I'm having the same problem, but on my iPad and Numbers. I'm a teacher and I just went to compile the final marks for the year, and all the data from their presentations and other information is gone!!! This is unacceptable. This doesn't just affect me, now it affects almost 150 students. I have no idea what I am supposed to do. This is URGENT, URGENT, URGENT!

I sync to iTunes, not iCloud.

It backs up every time I plug in. Is there a way to go back two months in backups and just pull that data? Or would that mean I lose everything I have done since then?
