1 Ipad. 2 iPhones. Will iCloud work?

In our household we have an Ipad2 which we share.  We also have separate iPhones
So, my question is this: If I want to set up iCloud so that i get the last 30 days of photos/videos synched with my Ipad and my wife wants to do the same from her iPhone is this possible onto the same Ipad?
Also, whilst Im at it, why didnt Apple introduce more 'dropbox' type functionality -eg where you can go into your photos/videos and chose one/many to upload into your iCloud? It seems daft that you can only have the last 30 days rolling, what if you want others available to your Ipad and other devices?
Any help much appreciated

You will have the same photos and videos on all three devices, assuming they are all using the same iCloud account.  Photo stream simply uploads stuff to iCloud, and all three devices will sync whatever's there.  Note, though, that this only works with the iPhone when on wifi.  If you have an unlimited data plan (which I gather has become rare these days), you won't be able to use PhotoStream over the 3G network.
As to why Apple did anything, nobody can answer that without speculating, which is not allowed here.  If you like Dropbox better, note that you can use it instead, as "there's an app for that."

    No, iCloud doesn't sync music between devices.  To get your music on your iPad, sync it with iTunes.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    iCloud is only compatible with iOS, OS X and Windows, not Linux, so you can't use iCloud in Linux. However, you can access to your iCloud in Linux opening http://www.icloud.com, but you can't sync data from the PC to your other computers and devices

  • My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged! When I turn it on (only turns on while plugged into wall) it says it needs to be My iphone will not work unless i plug it into my wall charger. but it is fully charged

    My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

    First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
    If that doesn't work...
    Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

  • Will iCloud work without OSX Lion?

    Will iCloud work only with OSX Lion? I cannot use Lion on my G4 Powerbook, and Mobile Me is going away in a few months, so does this mean that only my newer devices will work with iCloud?

    That's correct. You can access mail on iCloud by entering the settings in your Mail application, but you have to have a Mac with 10.7.2 or an iOS device to set the account up in the first place, and the other facilities won't work.

  • TS3999 when will iCloud work with outlook 2013?

    when will iCloud work with outlook 2013?

    I have been running Outlook 2013 for a couple of weeks now using W8 64bit.
    It works with iCloud and is a little flakey, what I've found.
    1. 4 X Junk Folders.
    2. Some emails cannot be moved into saved folder, saying message has changed, but opening in outlook safe
        mode allows move.
    3. Sent Items (this computer only) and Sent Messages, so you have to move emails from Sent Items to Sent
         Messages if you want them to sync across devices.
    4. Icloud control panel say's there is a problem and not syncing but it is no problem.
    I can live with the bugs, but I wish the last icloud update would have corrected the issues.

  • HT4759 Will iCloud work if have 4th gen. iPod touch (iOS 6) but an iMac running OS X v.10.6.8 (1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor prevents Lion upgrade-according to Apple)?

    Will iCloud work when iMac (1.83 GHz. Intel Core Duo) is running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4th gen. iPod touch (iOS 6) because unable to upgrade to Lion due to processor's inablit to meet Apple's specifications for Lion? My family had three iPod touch (iSO 6) devices and currently use iClou, but set it up with a Macbook Air using Lion- but yesterday it died. Is there any way to retain the use of oPod touh devices, iTunes purchases, and iCloud services (and the huge amount of money spent on the) if not able to use the Macbook Air? I know the iMac is "old" but do not have thousands of dollars to purchase new computer at this time.

    10.7.2 or later is required to use iCloud on the computer. Your iPod Touch, however, would have full use of iCloud.
