Can I send pics on ipad to icloud without icloud importing existing pics to ipad?

Hi there!
Is there a way to set up my ipad so that pictures and video I take on my ipad will go to my icloud account without my existing pictures and video (in icloud) appearing on my ipad?
I just set up my new ipad mini and it started importing hundreds of photos from my icloud account. I'd like to keep storage space on the ipad as free as possible so that when I go to take a picture or video of my newborn, I don't get the "not enough storage space" error message that I've been getting on my iphone 4S (and then missing the opportunity to capture a moment with my little one!).
I currently subscribe to the 20GB ($40/year) icloud storage plan.
Thanks so much!

You could go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and only turn on Photo Sharing (not My Photo Stream). Then add the photos/videos you want to a shared stream as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99. (If you only want to see the shared stream on your own devices you don't have to add an email address; just tap Next to skip that step. As the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed.) That will allow you to not download existing my photo stream photos to your iPad and still use iCloud to stream the photos/videos you want to your other devices. Note: you can only add videos up to 5 min. in length. Also, videos in a shared stream cannot be saved on another iOS device; they can only be saved on a computer.

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business!

How can apple send out an os update that renders an important function of the software/hardware to not work? They knowingly have sent out this new os update for iPad which makes airplay nonfunctining! I need this for my business! I could understand if they didn't know, but it is all over the Internet! When I went in to have it revert back to os6 (which worked fine!) I was actually asked if I had done any research before I installed the upgrade! As if this is the consumer's fault for being dumb enough to fall for the upgrade!

That is not what I have discovered, nor what others have discovered, nor what I was told when I went the Genius Bar. I cannot remotely mirror to my MacBook Pro and it only started the day after I installed the upgrade. We tested it with an iPad that had not been upgraded, no problem.

Synchronize Ipad & Mac Ical without Icloud

How could I synchronize Ipad & Mac Ical without ICloud? Mac Ical duplicates in Ipad Ical while Ipad Ical is not updated in Mac Ical ...

First uncheck syncing iCloud with calendar and reminders in System Preferences, and then set up a new calendar in iCal under On My Mac (this may not be necessary at all, but that's what I did). Then choose Find > New Calendar. Enter your iCloud account and set it up from there. In this way you will keep both On My Mac and iCloud. Hope this helps.
Attempted your method, splithsc. There are a couple of things that seem a bit unclear to me in your procedure. Besides that it didn't work for me.
I can set up a new calendar in On My Mac, but in order to do so, I had to unsubscribe from ALL shared calendars (I share some Google calendar events too) first AND turn off iCloud in order to create a calendar in On My Mac. Once that was accomplished I was able to create a calendar and an event in that Calendar that way though.
Curiously, shared Google accounts do not delete the On My Mac created calendar when they are re-enabled.
When entering iCloud again the "merge" action somehow replaces calendars On My Mac not merge them as the menu states, merges the calendar created in On My Mac and deletes the entry sort of as it says! Events created in the Calendar are gone but the calendar is gone!
Turning off the iCloud doesn't bring back the missing "On My Mac" nor data in it, however.

My username (email address) has changed. Apps that I purchased with the old username ca not be updated as the password from the old username no longer works and apple can not send me info to an addres that no longer exists. What can I do?

Can i setup the 'find my phone' app without icloud?

I'm still using Snow Leopard for work reasons which means no iCloud. Can I use the 'find my phone' app without iCloud? Is there a way? Thanks

If you had Find My iPhone enabled on your phone, then as well as using the Find My iPhone app on another iOS device, you can also use log into the account on http://icloud.com and try locating the phone via that

Can't send mail on iOS 5 devices with iCloud

A long time ago I signed up for a .Mac trial to use that address with iChat. The trial expired, and, as expected, the address continued to work with iChat, though it no longer functioned as an email address. It then came to be my Apple ID. Now, having set that Apple ID up for use with iCloud, my iOS devicess are having trouble sending, and only sending email from my iCloud address. The reason is this: I logged into <username>@mac.com for iCloud (as that's my Apple ID), and everything set up right except the mail address that iOS Mail thinks I have. It thinks the mail address for the iCloud account is <username>@mac.com. When I send mail to <username>@me.com, my iOS devices get it just fine, but when I try to send mail back, it tries to send it from the @mac.com address, and therefore fails as that is not a valid email address.
I've tried to go into the settings and change the email address that it uses for iCLoud, but with no luck. I see a place to change it, but it is grayed out and won't let me select it and bring up a keyboard to change it.
Is there any way to tell it that it assumed the wrong email address for my iCloud? Or is there no way to send iCloud email from my iOS devices?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I can send mail via iCloud from the web app and from Apple Mail (OS X Lion), but not from iOS devices because of this glitch. I can also send mail from iOS devices using other email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo).

I found a work around that works. Got to Settings...Icloud....account......advanced....outgoing mail server.....
Add an "other" server.
Host Name p01-smtp.mail.me.com
Put in your me.com email address as username and your Apple ID password
SSL is on
Authentication is password
Server port 587
This worked for me.....I will use this until the bug is fixed. (you may need to use p02, p03 etc) Don't make this server your primary. Leave it in "on" status in the other category.
Good luck

Why can I no longer sync iCal and contacts without iCloud?

I dont use iCloud basically because by doing so all your data - specifically your contacts and calendar - gets uploaded to an Apple server where it sits for ever. If you decide you want to stop using iCloud (like you decide for some weird reason to use windows instead...or you move somewhere where there's no internet - its possible) it deletes your data from the device you have unsubscribed from. This basically means once you are on iCloud there is no going back. Apple basically acts as if it owns you and your data and inorder to access it (excude me but my calender and contacts list belongs to me) its obligitory to use Apple and iCloud...if you dont it gets deleted and is gone for ever.
So I sync via USB/WiFi...but now after 'upgrading' to Mavericks this option is no longer permitted? You MUST use iCloud.....WHY?? - I dont want to!
I run a business and use iCal to make all my business bookings - these used to sync easily between my iPad and my iMac. Now it doesnt unless I hand over the rights to all my data for all enternity to Apple inc.
This is my stuff and it doesnt belong to Apple - I want to keep it that way
How can I sync iCal and Contacts without signing away ownership of my diary and contacts to Apple?
Am I going to have to ditch my Mac?? Why wasnt this more widely publicized??
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
Here is one way
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6311
Here is another
http://www.apple.com/au/osx/server/
Here is yet another
If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

HT1296 how to add new photos without deleting the existing photos in ipad

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to add new photos/PDF books from my PC to iPad without deleting the exsting data in iPad?

Hello AJ2349
If it is prompting you that it will replace the data on your iPhone, then that is typically the result of syncing with a different computer. The only way you can bypass that is to replace the media on your device and then sync. Now it will only replace items that would be considered purchased items like music, movies, TV shows and Apps and would not delete any pictures from your iPhone. Alternatively you can setup a Shared Photo Stream and then add the Photos there without syncing your iPhone with your computer. Check out the articles below for more information.

How can I send mail mail as different address using iCloud?

I have setup Mail in OSX Lion to use my iCloud account ([email protected]) succesfully. When I compose a new message I would like to be able to send from an email address other than [email protected] (eg. [email protected] which is an email account I have set to forward to [email protected])
In Mail > Preferences > iCloud (IMAP) > Email Address I have entered: '[email protected], [email protected]'
which enables the "From" drop list. When I select [email protected] and hit send, the message is not sent and Mail informs me that I have entered the wrong username and password. If I select [email protected] the message is sent without a problem.
Why is this happening? What's the point of allowing me to select a different email address without being able to actually send email with that email address?
Please help.

I can't send my pictures to the Photos app iCloud. Always giving network error.

I bought store on icloud to be able to store my photos. I have uploaded some and started getting an error message . Now I can no longer up any photos. Any suggestions?

I would not expect anything to download, since streaming only starts when you turn on photostream on the device and you just turned it on. Once you make first picture it will stream right away. Check out photostream FAQs.
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ - Support - Apple
in order to get all pictures from old phone, you need to create old phone back up and restore new phone from that back up.
Check out instructions.

You will find two sets of insturctions - by using icloud or itunes.
