Q: I don't understand why you are holding our documents captive!

How can you NOT make it backwards compatible!  I prefer not to install the latest IOS (as we've seen what happens, with the last IOS update)  before I am comfortable with the update. This is irresponsible and not customer friendly.  Basically I am S.O.L. if I have an older iPhone or iPad.  Thanks for being so customer friendly.

iPhone 5c, iOS 7.1.2

    It isn't Apple, its me. I'm holding them hostage. Send me $1,000,000 in unmarked small bills, or you will never see them again.

    On a more serious note, if you would describe the problem with enough detail for someone to understand what the issue is (what documents are you referring to, for example), someone might be able to assist.

     

    And for the record, this is a user-to-user technical support forum. you are not addressing Apple, just fellow users.

    James,

     

    Sorry I did not realize it was User to User.  Very funny, really.  Who would you like the check made out to?  LOL

     

    So I went to login to iCloud (on my PC) and I was forced to update to a different version of iCloud that would no longer allow any devices below IOS 8 access to the Pages area.  I just don't understand why thy (Apple developers) cannot make it backwards compatible.

    If you believe you were "forced" to do the upgrade, I suspect you misread the prompts. However, at this point the only option you have is to upgrade your iOS devices, Once you have updated to iCloud Drive, you cannot revert.
