Thank you for your answer. What I learned is one must select for the docs to be saved on the ipad for it to work. Same is true for Garageband projects. If you have location settings to "off" for privacy reasons, and don't select for things to go to the "cloud", the device has no where to put things. So with these new ipads you have to select to save things on the device. Once I made that selection, now it works.

Hello, Seeker321.

It's my understanding that you're unable to create a new document with Pages on your iPad. I may be able to help you with this. You may want to try force closing the Pages app and then open it again: How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch This article is always handy and a great reference to have for pages: ​​ Create a Document

Keep us updated.

Cheers!
