Q: Pages documents disappeared

I have the same problem, except my Numbers documents are "gone" and my Pages documents were successfully migrated to iCloud Drive.

Same thing happened to me--Yesterday (Sept 24th), all files in Numbers, Pages, and Keynote disappeared from iCloud.

I called apple and tech support was pretty much useless.

Fortunately, my iPAD stopped syncing because ran out of battery 5 days ago and some of the files are still there, but there are not uploading to iCloud.

Don't trust iCloud now!

Exactly the same happened to me, very frustrating!

I updated to the drive 2 days ago and things were fine and I was happily working away on my documents. Then this morning everything gone, term papers, personal documents, EVERYTHING! All my college assignments are gone ;(

Guess it's the  21 century version of "the dog ate my home work!"

I logged a call back with Apple Customer Support so I'll let you all know what they say. I hope its just a glitch with the new icloud/idrive thingy and all will be well soon.

Finger crossed!

Same thing, i lost a document I've been working on daily for the last 3 months - I NEED THIS DOCUMENT BACK URGENTLY!!!

I Have the same problem!!! 3 years of work, 1 year of university!! I am going crazy

Same problem here! I updated to iCloud Drive because I had shared a file earlier with a friend and she couldn't open it otherwise. While I was editing it, I suddenly received a notification that it had been deleted in another location. My friend couldn't open the document from the link, and all my files on all my devices and on iCloud had been deleted! We had been working for so long and had something really hooking and good, too!

I talked to the people at the nearest apple store because I really needed the document, and they told me that when I upgraded to drive, the old documents should be on the normal iCloud because that and Drive are two very different things. However, I tried to get the documents from other devices that hadn't switched to drive yet. That didn't work. Dang.

I am using a Windows, so I can't do anything with Time machine or ~/library/ or anything. Sheesh.

My keynote document are disappeared this morning, how do i get then back? I will have a presentation this Tuesday. What a disaster!  

I Have the same issue with my Numbers docs after updating to ios 8. i can't find them in icloud.com

please advice.

I have the same with Numbers. All files are lost.

Dear baygirl67, or to any troubled iPad users,

If you open your Pages app, and you find that all of your documents have mysteriously disappeared, you might want to make sure that you have gone to Settings>Pages>Use iCloud, and make sure that you have slid the "Use iCloud" button to the right so that it turns green. I did this after restarting my iPad, and all of my documents magically reappeared.

Best of luck in your future iPad endeavors.

Love,

Your ELA Teacher

ELA Teacher: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I can't even say,,, I just want to leap through the screen and hug you

My ICloud is on - v. important document working on last night and all my others have disappeard in Pages.

How do I retrieve them? Where have they gone? Not in the cloud. Nowhere. Just vanished.

do you have any idea about how can i do the same thing on macbook pro?? (OS X Yosemite)

Hello dear baygirl, I just want to tell you thank you...I mean a big THANK YOU. I was almost getting frustrated about losing all my documents in pages. I did exactly what you advised and all my documents reappeared............ For other "disappeared-pages documents" users out there, this is what I did. Thanks to baygirl67

1) turn off and on ur device,

2) settings-----iCloud drive (on)----pages ( "on" green )

3) settings-----pages-----use iCloud ("on"green )
