[…] One retrieval method involves going to the Mobile Documents.delete folder in the home directory Library of your Mac. To get to the Library folder (which is invisible in Lion), hold down the Option key when accessing the Go menu in the Finder; the Library item will appear. Select it. Once inside—and assuming you’ve enabled iCloud for iWork documents—you should at least see a folder called Mobile Documents. Within this folder will be copies of all of your iWork documents currently available in iCloud. You may also see a Mobile Documents.delete folder. If so, this is where you’ll find the documents that have disappeared. To get your documents back in iCloud, follow the detailed instructions given in this posting. For another possible solution, involving extracting the missing documents from an iOS backup file, check out this appleiphoneschool.com page. […]

Is that happening to everyone? I wasn’t even aware that the docs were disappearing. That’s terrible, and is one of the reasons I’m not a cloud believer.
This is not a trivial issue. Typically, I am a someone who goes with all the new technology I can get my hands on. But AT&T wouldn’t upgrade me so I have to wait 4 months before I can get my iPhone 4S. Maybe I should thank AT&T. If people start to lose their documents this needs to be corrected with no chance of it ever happening again. I will be sniffing all around to see how big this issue is. Thanks for sharing.
WOW!
This article is really helpful to me.
Thanks,
Thanks , I have recently been looking for info approximately this subject for a while and yours is the best I’ve discovered so far. But, what about the conclusion? Are you sure concerning the source?
How do I do the last step? When I go to com.apple.Numbers, I don’t have files I can upload. In the documents folder, I have folders 1 through 21. Then in each folder I have files like buildVersionHistory.plist, index.db, Data folder, Preview folder. How am I supposed to upload this to iCloud? Renaming the folder to .numbers doesn’t work.
The only problem I got is not documents is iCloud it self because some song I found out you can not play on iCloud plus you do not get all the down loads of music on iCloud also but it is also too change it back to iTunes from iCloud
I never could get this to work for iWork documents. There are 2 document folders after doing “Show Package Contents”. One had Office files that opened on my iPad with iWork. Those I could get fine, but I didn’t really need them. The iWork files were in Application Support > Document > folders and I couldn’t restore them this way. I ended up restoring the whole old iTunes backup, syncing all my iWork documents to iCloud, manually downloading extra backups from iCloud to my mac (which was fortunate, because some the files still had sync errors that were easy to correct at this point), and then restoring a current iTunes backup. 5 hours or so later, iCloud copied all my files back to my iPad. iCloud still seems to do a very crappy job of syncing. I am still fighting sync errors on both sides, but worst case I have the manual backups on my mac now. I wish Apple would buy Dropbox with that big pile of cash they’re building up…
I really needed this to work, but when I get to the “Upload the files” step, I’m lost…
I have 3 files: index.db. a .plist file, and a preview file inside a folder (named by a number). How to upload this to iCloud?
Fantastic! Worked like a charm. In my case, I wanted to extract the documents from an iPad no longer in the house–and directly put them on a different device rather than go the iCloud route.
Here’s what I did. (Figured spelling it out could help someone else.)
As you explained, simply do a control-click (or right-click with the mouse) on the file, and select Show Package Contents.
Inside there is a folder Library. It has 3 folders. You want to the top one, Application Support. Inside it is a folder Documents. That contains any previously saved/used documents.
Go over to iTunes with your target device connected. In the Apps section in the iTunes window for your i-device, scroll down to the Files Sharing portion. Select Numbers (or Pages) and drag the files onto the iTunes window. Voila! They appear in the window. Then, just sync. Voila! On the other device.
Thanks, again! Great information, well explained, with
