Try selecting a *partition* of the drive (or "volume").
Every drive has at least one.

Swipe left-to-right to get to the search page, and search for "Pages".

If it finds it, you will need to find the actual app on one of the home screens, then delete it.
THEN try the download again.
*IF* you sync with your computer/iTunes, once you sync the iPad, the app should be on the computer, and you can select it and sync it to the iPhone.

Thanks—syncing did the trick.
I first synched my iPad to make sure a copy of Pages was backed up to my Mac. Then, I synced the iPhone and the app shows up and works on both devices now. No more "waiting" on my iPhone!!

Oh, so no way to start writing on a PC in Word and finishing in Pages on the iMac? Bummer!
Thanks for clarifying.

Couldn't you email the Word doc to yourself as an attachment, open it in Pages and then continue?
I don't know but I can't think of why not.

How did you come to this conclusion?
Close the file in Word on the PC, transfer to the Mac using your home
network or some sort of "cloud", and open in Pages on the Mac.

There IS a Word for Mac, but I can't say if you can move a "live" document between Windows an Mac Word easily.

A Word document doesn't care whether it was created on a Mac or a Windoze machine. I use the Microsoft Office suite because so many of my friends do, as well as coworkers before I retired. I also have Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Just for fun, I opened Pages and tried to open a Word (.docx) file that I know was created in Windoze. There were two messages concerning a particular aspect that could not be read, but the document showed up just fine and I never did discern a problem.
Bekah is right: create the document in Word on Windoze then transfer it to your Mac via e-mail, USB drive, DropBox, or whatever, then open it in Pages. If you might subsquently use it on a Windoze machine again after manipulating it in Pages, be sure to save it in .doc or .docx format (as well as Pages format) so you can read it after you transfer it back to the other machine.
