Pages documents disappeared

Last night I could access all of my pages documents. This morning they disappeared! icloud drive is on, and pages has the icloud setting on. Where did all my documents go and how do I get them back? I tried downloading icloud for PC, signing into icloud online, and still the documents are missing. The documents are gone on my iPhone and iPad.

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 😉

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 )

Same thing happened to me. You have to either upgrade or turn iCloud Drive on in your settings (it's right between the privacy and Mail sections) then make sure you have pages ticked on in the iCloud Drive section. When it upgrades or you turn it on it should start to download your documents. Once you do that the pages 'tab' in settings should stay green. I hope this works for you cause I almost had a melt down when my hundred page document disappeared. (but its back now that I did all that)
