Does the iCloud work between an iPad and a non apple pc?

my wife has an Asus computer. I have all apple. She wants an iPad for Christmas. I understand that we would be able to share information through the cloud. and I understand that she could sync with her pc. would this tie us both together in the cloud? Or, is there a problem because she's using a pc?

You will find this site to be of great help with iCloud.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/
That site has enough information on it to make your head spin. I may be wrong about this but - I want to correct something .....
The way that I understand that iCloud works  - if you want to share content with iCloud using different devices - you must be using the same iCloud.com account. Using the same iTunes account lets you share purchased content - you must both use the same iCloud account to sync across your Mac, iPad, etc and her PC.
If you both use different iCloud.com accounts, you can't sync across devices. You can't heave separate calendars either. You have to be sharing the same calendar as well.
But you can read the information on the support site and check that out for yourself.

  • How to ensure iCloud works between Mac, iPad

    Things posted on my Mini Mac Calander are not transfering to my iPad.  What could be stopping it?
    Up to last week it worked fine

    The thing to check is whether new events are making it to the iCloud online calendar. If they aren't, you have a sync problem between your Mac and iCloud; if they are, you have a sync problem between your iPad and iCloud.
    In the former case, the first step is to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and then sign in again.(your data will disappear and you will be warned about this; but it will reappear when you sign back in, so don't save it or you will get duplicates).
    Also make sure that new events are being added to iCloud calendars, not 'On My Mac' calendars, which don't sync to iCloud.
    I don't have an iPad but if the problem is there you can presumably do the same thing.

  • HT4759 I need to get the icloud icon on my iPad and iPhone.

    Help me. I need to get an icloud icon on my iPad and phone. As well my phone is and has been malfunctioning for months. I get ZERO help when I call, nor "promised" call backs.  Countless hours have left me frustrated, angry, and wondering why I have spent so much $$$ on your products.

    There is no "iCloud icon' on iOS. What exactly are you attempting to accomplish?

    This is a user-to-user forum. You are not addressing Apple employees (consequently, these are not "our" products). When you called whom? What number? And what malfunctioning? Without more information, it is difficult to know what advice to give.

  • How do I make iCloud work between my Mac and my iPhone as suggested in the video's on Apple's website ?

    I'm trying to share a set of Numbers projects between my MacBook and my iPhone.
    I notice that iWork.com does NOT do what I am expecting from the Apple Video's : it only allows me to consult documents through Safari, but not to open one directly from iCloud.com in the appropriate app for editing ...
    Through file sharing in iTunes it seems to work for one of the projects ... but another project which has multiple tabs and rather long tables doesn't open on my iPhone due to "unknown error" ...
    Even then, the iTunes file sharing process can hardly be called seemless, and in no way even approaches what is suggested in the video's :
    The video's suggest that when working on a file on one device, then picking up another device the file will show the changes ...
    In reality here's what I have to do to make a change on the file on my Mac, share it with the iPhone, then change something on the iPhone and share it back with my Mac :
    1. save the changes to the document
    2. add the document to iTunes file sharing
    3. sync my iPhone
    4. open Numbers on my iPhone
    5. add the document from iTunes
    6. open it
    7. make a change
    8. sync the iPhone
    9. choose "save as ..." in iTunes to overwrite the copy on my Mac
    10. open the document in Numbers on the Mac
    Guess what ... when making a new change, I have to go back in iTunes, delete the link to the document and add the document again in order to be able to share the change ...
    I would expect the syncing with iTunes to at least take care of the file updating on the respective copies on Mac and iOS device ... apparently not so.
    Anyone knows how to really make Documents In The Cloud work ?

    Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
    and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
    What am I doing wrong ?

  • Will icloud work between my iphone and linux laptop

    will icloud work with a linux laptop

    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

  • I can't seem to get  my iCloud working between my iPhone and iPad

    My wife and I recently purchased (in This order) an iPad, then 2 iPhones, then a second iPad. My iCloud on my devices is working fine. We are having trouble getting my wife's to work. I checked again, and was sure I had done what I was supposed to do to set hers up. She had her iPhone for a week or so before we got her iPad. We may have registered the phone with one Apple ID, and the pad with another. How can we get the two in sync?

    Hi
    So the problem we are working on is just your wife's iPhone nad iPad right?
    It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on the detailed screens.
    I think the key is to log out of your devices and then sign back in with only ONE ID on each device.
    Let's start with
    1. Settings
    2. Itunes and Apps stores
    3.  Tap on the Apple ID (willlook like your wife's id).
    4.  Tap sign out
    5.  Enter your preferred Apple id and password
    6.  Tap sign in
    7.  Check Settings> iCloud... should be the correct iCloud Id now (and greyed out)
    Do this on each device.....

  • Does the camera work on my macair and how do you set it up in Skype

    how do you get the camera on my mac air to work in skype

    Assuming you have a mid-2013 MacBook Air running OS X 10.8.5, this is a known issue.  See:
    http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/OS-X-10-8-5-broke-Video-on-MacBook-Air/td-p/18 91729/page/2
    If you scroll forward a couple of pages in the above blog and are technically inclined, you will find a temporary workaround involving replacing the AppleCamera plugin while a more permanent solution is found.

    Not sure if I had to submit my question:

    There isn't an iCloud app, I'm not sure what it is that you have deleted, but it isn't iCloud.

  • HT204187 Email account does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

    I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

    You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

  • HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

    I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

    Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.
