Pages won’t display my documents. How do I fix this?

I was able to fix this problem by using the file browser. I browsed to the location of the pages files in the Pages subfolder. I selected and moved all files to the iCloud folder (up one level). I was able to open Pages at this point. Once I did this, I moved the files back to the Pages sub-folder and found no problem opening any of the pages files.

Ok. I resolved it (I think). It appeared as if there was a corrupt file which was stuck in a loop. I basically kept my finger pressed on the pages icon and waited for the ‘recent’ documents to open on the home screen. Then I pressed on each of the documents. One of them was corrupt and when I pressed on it, it seemed to complete the process. I can now open up pages!!

same problem here too. Was fine yesterday and not working now all of a sudden. Deleting and installing pages does not work. Appears fine on the iphone and mac ... seems like an ipad issue only!!

Nooooo!! Well, glad it worked. Not to sure if I am ready to delete my pages files yet! Will check it out a little later as my mac pages working ok at the moment.

No, same is happening on my iphone x too

Hi. I have the same problem, on advice from Apple support I completely restored my IPad using itunes and a computer. Only to find I still have the same problem, exactly as you described it. I don’t know where to go now 🙁. Have you managed to resolve your problem?

Hi, I reset my iPad using iTunes on a pc, as requested by Apple Support. This didn’t cure the problem. I managed to cure it in the end by taking the drastic option of deleting all my pages files. It now works okay. I think the problem was caused by a file that got corrupted and that pages got stuck in some sort of loop while trying to open it. To be truthful I am a little disappointed with my iPad Pro as I thought it was going to be a rock solid reliable device 🙁. However I am not an expert and please take advice before deleting any files.
