I have updated my Ipad with IOS8 and now my documents on Pages cannot be opened.

Reset the device:

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

No data is lost due to a reset.

I updated to ios8. So far page will not display my icloud documents no matter what I do. I have enabled, re-enabled icloud, reset the device, shutdown, redownloaded pages, etc.. nothing works. Pages ios says no documents and then crashes sometimes. This is horrible.

I had the same problem, only with Numbers. I don't use Pages. Fortunately, before I upgraded to iOS8 I backed up my iPad to my computer using iTunes, including the non-iOS8 version of Numbers.

I deleted the iOS8 version, Numbers 2.4.2, and restored the older version via my iTunes backup. Now everything works fine.

Documents would not appear even on the previous version. It made no difference. i assumed that the pages update would have sorted things out. It has not. In addition the ai writer app for ios has the same issue. Documents do not show.

I am having the same problem. The documents show up just fine in my iPhone 5. I'm only having this issue on the iPad mini (so far). I updated both to iOS 8 when it was released this week, and made the mistake of upgrading to iCloud drive before I realized it wasn't ready for prime time. I took both devices down to the local Apple store in the mall. I was told that this issue is due to the fact that the devices cannot sync right now and won't be able to do so until OS X Yosemite is released in October 😮

I have an iphone 5 and I did not update any of my devices to icloud drive. However iworks pages app and ai writer do not show my icloud documents. This is very frustrating and a serious problem for me because I use the app professionally as part of my work flow. The pages app may crash on start up and or it will switch icloud off in its settings. When I re-enable it does nothing and states "no documents". Then it selects icloud selector back to the off position in settings. I have done everything to try and fix this. Its as if it simply can not communicate with icloud. i reset my iphone and more no change.

I also have an iPod that was not updated to iOS 8 due to space constraints....I thought that might be the answer to my prayers...maybe I'd be able to access my documents through my iPod that wasn't updated. Nope. Since I updated to the newer version of Pages, I can't have the older version of Pages for my iPod. Furthermore, I cannot take the Pages app off of my iPod now that I tried to add it on.

This is ridiculous!!!

The reset worked for me(hold down both buttons).

This is the first time I have ever had such frustrations with Apple devices.

Makes me re think getting any more devices from Apple.

This "update" was totally f*cked up by Apple.

did a hard reset also, did not help at all. Still "no documents" appears in pages and ai writer. There is no fix.

Installed ios 8 update 8.0.2 still no change. Cannot access icloud documents via pages of Ai Writer for ios. This issue has proved to be a serious inconvenience forcing me to have to take my macbook pro with me instead of using my ios device to edit and update my important documents.

is there anything I can do to try and fix this? I have deleted, reset everything, disabled, reinstalled, etc.. and the issue still continues. It's as if my device or some mechanism is blocking icloud. When I load the app, say, pages, it acts as if it tries to pull the data then it either crashes or states that there are not documents. The period of inactivity lasts for about a minute before the app becomes responsive again. I hope that when icloud drive begins I will be able to access my pages documents in ios again. Somehting has just gone wrong somewhere. I never upgraded to icloud drive on any of my devices.

** Followup**

I repaired my iphone 5 icloud issue.

After not being able to access my notes today while traveling I decided to sort my phone out once and for all once I got home.

I performed a total clean and restore, not just restore. Once I cleaned and restored my phone it allowed for whatever was blocking icloud to work. Before I restored my phone itunes downloaded the 8.0.1 update which i didnt install because it became unavailable. I believe that something dealing with ios 8.0.1 not originally installing had something to do with my problems. Whatever the case, the problem seemed to be within the software not as a result of a setting. My iwork and Aiwriter are working perfectly now. So far no issues with the data getting pushed to the phone from icloud.

I can declare my issues resolved now. I hope that my info may be of some help to others with a similar issue.

ipad retina with ios 8.0.2

i've never had a problem connecting to Pages docs in the cloud...

Now I can't access them on my 4 th gen iPad retina.

I have no trouble connecting to any other iCloud services.

I can access them on my Macbook Pro, and my husband who shares my icloud account can access the docs with both iPad (running ios 8.0.1) and Mac.

I've checked and toggled on and off icloud Documents and Data settings

( eerie music here) the iPad ICloud setting is toggled to off!

I've restarted the iPad, and then tried reseting the Ipad

repeated turning off and on both icloud docs and data

and ipad icloud setting but it keeps turning off, with no documents showing

I have not said yes to any iCloud Drive messages.

I Realize this is an old thread. I'm sure by now you have moved on but just in case; you may want to "update" to iCloud Drive. This same mess happened to me, yesterday. I just recently updated to iOS 8.2 from 7. Yes, I waited because 7 was a mess with apps crashing, ipad hanging and I hated the overall overhaul of the look. I updated to 8.2 because there was an app I wanted to try out. I figured it's been long enough, surely everything has been worked out by now and the issues at launch for 8 have been resolved or mitigated. Wrong. Pages crashed and my documents window was blank. I did everything you did and nothing worked until I updated to iCloud Drive, which is the one thing it seems you didn't do.

Every update Apple releases these days only degrades performance as well as their reputation. I have a list of items operating slow and/or consistently crashing with the last two updates.
