Adding icloud to iPad 2?

When first setting up my iPad 2, last Christmas, I opted not to set up the icloud. Now I want it. How do I do this? Do I have to update from iOS 4.3.5 to 5.1.1? Im not good with technology so I am afraid of losing all my apps, music, and such. I have spent too much time and money to screw up, and end up with an empty I pad. I'm scared! Someone please help :) Thanks!

You need IOS 5 to use iCloud. Backup your iPad before you update.

Added iCloud to ipad but now iTunes won't allow downloads. Error message: cannot connect to iTunes

I can open iTunes but if I click to download any app an error message pops up stating cannot connect to iTunes please try again later. I reset my Wifi router n deleted address and reset it on ipad, iTunes password reset then updated on ipad, restarted devices and still nothing. I just added iCloud to my ipad and it may have an incompatibility problem and all my phones and iPods don't get an error message and downloading completes no problem. Please help,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Logging into iCloud with the Apple ID you use for iTunes, won't affect iTunes in anyway.

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud

Photos are being added to my iPad, without choosing any events in iPhoto or having them sync with iCloud
I just upgraded to IOS6, and now my ipad is full of pictures I did not choose to sync.
I cannot delete them without deleting them from all sources.
Actually, the message is when I go to hit EDIT, select a picture, and then choose DELETE: "This photo is used in an album. Do you want to delete it everywhere? Delete Everywhere"
Does that mean "Everywhere" on my iPad, or everywhere including whatever place on my computer it found the photos to begin with?
PLEASE HELP
Ps:
I've already done this:
To delete photos from your device
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

You can still sync the photos and keep the photos that are already on the device. You have to include all of the albums or events in the pictures folder that you sync from. If you are using iPhoto, select that in the Sync Photos from drop down menu and then select all of the albums or events that you want to sync. Make sure to check Selected Albums, events, faces and automatically include (no events). Using that option will allow you to choose exactly which albums and events to sync.
You have to remember that all photos must be included in every sync so you cannot sync photos from iPhoto today and then try to sync photos from another folder tomorrow, or you will erase all of the photos that were synced from iPhoto. You need to maintain one main Photos syncing folder for the photos that you want to transfer to the iPad. You can have subfolders within that one main folder and you can selectively sync those subfolders. You just have to place all of the photos that you want to sync into one main iPad syncing photos folder.
There are WiFi transfer apps that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad without having to sync with iTunes. I use this one. This app (and others like it) will allow you to use multiple computers to transfer photos.

I updated by iPhone4 to IOS5 and added iCloud, now I cannot access my g-mail account? How do I get access back? Same thing happened to my iPad.

I upgraded by iPhone 4 to IOS 5 and added iCloud. Now I cannot access my Gmail account. It was there before the upgrade, now it's gone. I have tried to re-add the account, but it does not work. The same thing has happened to my iPad2. I have lost the access to Gmail. How do I re-establish contact?

Are they in your iTunes library on the computer? If so, sync with iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select your iPad from the left side under "Devices". Click on the apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Select the Sync Apps heading. Select all of the apps in the list and then click on Sync or Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
You can also download the apps again for free in the app store via the purchased tab or download them again in iTunes on your computer and then sync the a[[s to the iPad. You have to use the same Apple ID that you bought the apps with in order to download them again for free.

My iPad is displaying iPad disabled because my 9 year old added icloud and he kept typing in a password that was wrong and he disabled the ipad. I do know the password but the screen to enter my password doesn't come up only the ipad disabled message.

My 9 year old son added icloud to my ipad and he was asked to enter a password so he kept trying to enter passwords thinking he could. Unfortunately it was my password that was required and I know it. Now the iPad is saying it is disabled. Nothing else comes on. I can turn it off and on but it doesn't prompt me to enter my password.

The only way to get everything back is by restoring a backup. If you didn't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do to recover your lost documents and your notes. If you have a backup restore the backup in order to recover your data. Purchased apps can always be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with, but data can only be recovered from a backup or if you have copies of the documents and notes on a computer.

Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
Appleid.apple.com
I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
It was verified previously so I was done.
I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
It worked.
It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

Can added iCloud storage be used on more than one device?

Added iCloud memory on iPad. Want to use some on iPhone for the 7.0 update but getting a message that I do not have enough memory. How do I use the extra storage that I purchased on the iPad, on my iPhone?

Thank you pvonk. You are absolutely correct, however, I spoke w an apple specialist and figured out the problem. I needed to delete enough apps off of my phone to free up enough space for the update. The update only needs the space (3.1GB) to update the iPhone, but not to mantain the update or functionality of the iPhone. So, as soon as the update is done, that space I had before the update will be available again. So, I backed up my iPhone first, deleted enough apps to free up 3.1GB of space for the update, completed the update, and re-added the apps that I had before. Hope this helps someone else!

My original apple id is not an email address . I bought iCloud memory via that same account no problem. When setting up iCloud on iPad you cannot have a primary iCloud account unless it has an email address . Made new account but can you change originalI'

Made new account as per instruction ie [email protected] works fine
BUT as I want to utilise the money spent on the additional memory it would be great to use the initial account set up as my primary HOWEVER as far as I have tried the initial apple ID CANNOT be changed. Bit confused actually any usefull guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My partner has my former iPad 1, I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Gen III. I want to copy my contacts list to his iPad. We both have Apple ID's and we share a PC. How do i copy the contacts from my iPhone, iCloud or iPad to his iPad 1?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified. To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link. Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. Yu can make an appointment at the the Genius Bar of an Apple store or try:

My Apple ID is verified, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

My Apple ID shows "verified" on the manage my ID page on Apples website, when I sign into iCloud on iPad it can not verify?

Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
