Do I need to turn on iCloud backup for auto sharing between my iPad and iPhone, example photos, reminder, notes, contacts, etc

When I turn off iCloud backup then I think my iPad, and iPhone stop sharing contacts and reminder phone stream etc, so do I need iCloud backup to be turned on

No. Backing up to iCloud is entirely separate from syncing data with iCloud to your other devices. Backing up to iCoud is entirely optional and turning it off shouldn't effect your iCloud syncing in any way.

Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.

If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
Email messages are not stored in your backups.

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

My laptop was stolen and I need to be able to connect my iPhone4 to the new laptop and transfer content (photos, mp3's, apps etc.) to the new laptop. I'm afraid to try a sync in case it deletes all the content off the iPhone. Any suggestions?

You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

I'm deaf in one ear and need a stereo-to-mono earbud so I can use my iPod and iPhone. It is not good being able to hear only one channel. Can Apple consider making such a thing for those of use who need such a thing?

I'm not sure which version iPod you have, but I just checked my iPod nano (current generation) and it also has a Mono Audio setting in Settings>General>Accessibility.

HT204053 How do I have my wife's iphone 4s upload pics to the same icloud used for my ipad and iphone? Phone does not allow changing icloud ID once established.

How do I have my wife's iphone 4s upload pics to the same icloud I use for with my 4s and ipad? Can seem to change her icloud ID to match mine.

I can tell you how to do this but first wanted to be sure that's what you want to do. You would then be sharing the same iCloud account and any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) would then be merged and the merge data would appear on her phone and your iPad (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts on your phone). You would also both be backing up your devices to the same account, sharing the 5GB of free storage (assuming you're both backing up to iCloud).
There's an alternative setup that would allow her to set up your iCloud account on her phone as her primary account and just turn on photo stream in that account (allowing your to share you photo stream), then set up a secondary iCloud account on her phone that would sync her Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders. She would still have to back up her phone to your account, as well as syncing Safari, Documents and Find My iPhone (all of which can only be done in the primary account). Also, her mail would be fetch, not push as push email is only supported in the primary account.
I suppose a third option is to leave things as they are and share you photos with each other using shared photo streams.
Let me know what you want to do and I'll give you the steps.

How to turn off syncing between My iPad and iPhone

Every time I send an iMessage or text message from my iPhone, it shows up on my iPad's iMessage app. This also works vice versa. This is quite annoying because if I get a text message (or phone call) while I'm out, the iPad will ring and give of all my notification sounds at home.

Hi Joshua.Clapper,
I understand you no longer want to receive messages and sms on your iPad. You can do this by disabling SMS Relay, or by signing out of iMessage entirely. The following articles offer further guidance:
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
SMS
With Continuity, all the SMS and MMS text messages you send and receive on your iPhone also appear on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. Even if the person you’re communicating with doesn’t have an iPhone. And regardless of what phone they have, you can reply from whichever device is closest to you, including your iPad or Mac. You can also initiate a conversation by clicking a phone number in Safari, Contacts, or Calendar.
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
On your iPhone:
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Turn iMessage off and back on
Go to Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off

I have just purchase Apple TV and uploaded my itunes from my pc to icloud, this has been shared to my ipad and i now have a little cloud with a red arrow next to all my tunes, so all would seem well, but on the apple tv nothing in music ? is it me?

I have just purchased Apple TV and an ipad, i have uploaded my itunes to icloud from my pc and activated sharing, i now have all my tunes on the ipad and pc and all have a little cloud with a red arrow next to them so all seems well, but when i go on Apple TV, and i'm all signed in and all boxes checked, i click on music, my music, and all files are empty, should i not see my itunes and be able to play them from my apple TV, or have i misunderstood what the cloud is for.?
Any answers please. Apple TV 3rd Gen, Ipad Air.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't play music from the computer if there is none there. If you are using iTunes Match you should now be able to download and play all your music on the Apple TV from the music feature on the main page.

When trying to use icloud, my picture doesn't sync between my ipad and iphone. Additionally, for photo sharing, my wife's icloud picture is mine. Why?

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 8.1) and an iPad 2 (iOS 8.1). My wife has an iPhone 5 (iOS 8.0.2). I have been trying to set up our icloud accounts so that it will be ready when we buy a mac in January.
When I set up my icloud, the little circular picture that I used on my iPhone 5s did not sync up with the one on my iPad. They are both under the same ID, but it would not automatically sync up. Additonally, I set up a icloud phot album between my wife and I for pictures of our little one. On my phone, when I go to "people" that are synced to that album, it shows my wife and myself, but they both have my picture. And when I do the same on my iPad, it shows a blank for me but my picture for my wife. Confused. Can someone help?
Thanks!!
Derek

This old thread might help you out.

There are also many applications that will grab data from your phone and download it to your computer without using iTunes. That might be the easiest solution. I suggest you check out http://www.macroplant.com. I have not used their software but it tends to be well reviewed.

How do you get your iphone connected to itunes as it is not there on the device menu

Have you tried resetting your iPhone?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

If I make changes on exsisiting pages documents from my laptop they aren't syncing to my other devices.
I created 2 new pages documents over 12 hours ago, and I see they just now are showing up on my iPhone and iPad

Why did iCloud delete my pages documents on my iPad and iPhone?

I opened up pages on my iPad today after having ios5 for a week and I watched it delete all of my documents. It said that they were deleted from another device, which they were not. All of the documents on my iPhone also disappeared. I am going to try restoring from a backup, but what happened?

Same thing happened with my numbers document. Never have this problem with iDisk. I called Apple and no answer given. Use other ways to backup or stay with iDisk for the mean time.

Cannot turn on icloud backup after downgrade to iOS 7.1.2

I own an iPhone 4S which I upgraded to iOS 8 on 21st September. The iphone and most of applications (even phone) crashed all the time so I decide to downgrade to 7.1.2 after following instructions found in these communities. I did it just yesterday.
Now I cannot turn on iCloud Backup to my iPhone. The iCloud drive of course disappeared from Settings > iCloud, however it's still visible when I access the iCould in web. Moreover in iCloud web interface my iPhone appears as running iOS 8 and X Yosemite which is not true. My iPhone has 7.1.2 iOS.
I tried to erase my iPhone and restore it from a backup I made yesterday but I have the same issue: iCloud could not be enabled. It was enabled finally after hard reset but when I select "Backup now" the app crashes and throw me in the Home Screen. I see a message: this iPhone has never been backed up on iCloud and the last backup could not be completed.
Please help!!!!!! I want to be able to have iCloud Backup (most important settings and contacts, sms etc.) as I did usually before upgrading to iOS 8 and downgraded to 7.1.2.

Hello,
Been experiencing the same problem, finally fix it by deleting your old iCloud backup from iOS 8.
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Click on your device name > Scroll down to bottom > Delete this backup.
Then try to turn on the iCloud Backup setting toggle again.
Hope this helps.
