Would have been better if his face was swapped with Bill Gates since lately Apple is doing everything wrong that Microsoft is known for.
This happened to me, too, although I didn't draw the connection to my reset because I didn't notice the missing documents until a day or two after I reset my iPad.
Fortunately I was able to recover all of my documents from BackBlaze, making this the fourth or fifth time BackBlaze has totally saved my ass. Offsite backups FTW!!!

I'm waiting for Cook to put an apology on the Apple homepage.
Maybe a messed up iOS is less important than one app that can be easily replaced by the user.
That's how it should work. If you are deleting a program or feature, why would you still have the program or feature on your computer?
In other words, iCloud stores those documents for you to access through various programs (Pages, Preview, etc.). If you turn off iCloud, there are no documents to access because you have iCloud disabled.
It isn't deleting the documents, just telling you that you can't access them because you are turning the feature off.

Agree about BackBlaze. Well worth the money.
Wow. I'm glad I've stayed away from iCloud drive although I've used Yosemite/iOS8 for months already.
The documents have always been stored in /Library/MobileDocuments or something to that effect, so backing them up is a piece of cake.
It saves automatically, similar to the way notes in the iOS Notes app save. With OS X, you can browse prior versions, however, which you can't do in Notes.
Some serious issues with iOS 8 it seems. I got lucky, as I ised this option to wipe my 5S a few days ago after getting the 6 Plus. I had already upgraded to iCloud drive as well.
Actually entering that folder just runs a script that goes to iCloud drive. Try access it from Terminal.
Or backup and then there aren't any issues.

You seem to lack a fundamental understanding of how software development works. Yes, each build of software builds upon the prior.
Apple doesn't seem to have a good solution for backing up your iCloud account. As today's incident has proven, this is going to become a serious problem if they don't come up with one soon.
iCloud needs to be treated just like any other storage media: It must be backed up. Your data MUST be in more than one location, preferably three locations. People who don't realize this are going to get burned; the question is not "if" but "when".
This issue did not affect me because I don't trust the cloud. At all. You shouldn't either. The only positive thing about this is that it will make people distrust the cloud as the only storage place for their data.
I was just thinking it's strange that the leadership does not experience any of these issues on their devices. Possible, but strange.
Whoa, slow down there, pilgrim. Put your knee back in a vertical position. What I said had nothing to do with Jobs's talents. He did huge things. But under his tenure iOS releases were not as big as iOS 8, except for of course the first one. New features were metered out more slowly. It also may be the case that iOS 8 is just a crossroads where many things came to fruition, and future iOS releases will be more like 2.0-6.0.
So you want them to be indestructible? The data shows it isn't worse (and is actually better) than competitor phones. That's not ancedotal evidence, that is science and data.
