Lost Pages documents in recent iPad update

"Lost Pages documents in recent iPad update: The recent update on my iPad did something to my Pages app which I could no longer open. [...]I emailed a copy to my computer but the last 12 months of entries were only on the file that seems to have disappeared. Please please is there anything I can do to find it on my iPad?"

A. Take this as a Learning Experience:

Backup First: Always know to make a backup of your iPad prior to upgrading. That way you can have something to restore your iPad from, should anything go wrong with the update installation (which is what seeming happened here).

B. Do you have a Backup?:

As for following through with a recovery, note that there is no Migration Assistant for an iPad. So, you would have used iCloud or your Computer to back this up.

"Lost Pages documents in recent iPad update: Thank you. It’s very depressing to have lost something so precious. I thought it was backing up to iCloud. I’ve learned a lesson.”

No worries. It happens to the most of us, I’m most I’m sure. Check a Flash Drive, and eMails, and Trash. It might reside in there. :)
