Getting my iPad 2 into iCloud. Help!

Having just upgraded to 10.8, I was really excited about getting my Pages documents onto my iPad 2 from my iMac, and vice-versa.
Problem: my iPad refuses to back up to iCloud (something I've never tried before). I've searched these forums, checked the web, done everythign suggested, but all that happens is that I get about a 1mm blue bar in the progress bar, and then a spinning wheel. The "estimated time remaining ...." never changes to anything else.
Seeing as I got 10.8 specifically for this reason, I'm somewhat let down!
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Andrew

I think I know what you want:
You want Pages to backup to the cloud on your iPad.

HT1296 How do I get iPhone contacts into iCloud

I have 213 contacts on my phone that I scanned in using ScanBizCards app. Unknowingling, I had my settings set to Default Account On My Phone instead of iCloud.
How do I get the 213 contacts off my phone into iCloud?
When I go into info via iTunes, it says contacts are syncing over iCloud, but it is not picking up the 213 that were just scanned in.... HELP? I don't want to have to add them one by one.

Hey jjwilson98,
The easiest way is to turn off the contacts in iCloud section in settings. Remember to keep data. After that it is turned off, just turn it back on to merge data and you will be set.

How do I get stored documents into iCloud?

How do I get documents stored on my MacBook into ICloud?

If that document has been created by an application that supports iCloud, open the document in that application, then use the "File" menu command "File > Move to". Select iCloud.
That's it.

Getting all contacts into icloud

How do I get "All Contacts" that are on my iPhone 4 over to my iCloud.com account? The group "All iCloud" on my phone has many less contacts than the All Contacts. I'm concerned that if I lose my phone or the data gets corrupted, I'll lose all the extra contacts. I don't have an Outlook account, but that seems to be the only type of account you can sync with.
Thanks, Ron

Winston Churchill's solution looks promising, but seeing your experience I'm reluctant to try it. Can anyone tell us how to merge the contents of "All Contacts" on the iPhone (a non-iCloud group) with one of the iCloud groups? (I have a couple; do not remember how they got put into iCloud while several other groups on the phone, including the big "All Contacts", did not.
I apologize for my ignorance. I'll be grateful for guidance.

TS4002 How can I get my messages into icloud

How can I get my text messages into icloud from iphone

Messages are only backed up to iCloud as part of a full iOS device backup, which can be restored in full to another, or the same iOS device.
Messages are not available separately in iCloud, nor can they be viewed.

I have purchased a movie from iTunes how do i get it loaded into icloud

I have previously purchased a film from iTunes and have now set iCloud up. how can I get the film onto iCloud it is currently on my windows laptop

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't copy your movie to your allocated iCloud storage. Why would you want to do that.

I keep getting a "sign into Icloud" popup that will not go away

Apple ID's, iPad and iCloud HELP Please

My ipad2 is set up for iCloud using my original apple id. My mac has used my me.com email address to create an addional apple id which seems to have been assigned to the cloud account on my mac. I therefore cant sync anything between them.

Thanks for the answer !
It is the case of the snake eating his own tail. If I use iforgot.apple.com, I can't use the iCloud ID that's on the iPad. If I enter the iCloud ID used on the iPad, on the page https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid, it will return it returns Select your authentification methode. On that page I have two options -> Email authentication: or Answer security questions:
I don't use the option Answer security, because my brother in law, doesen't remember the questions.
If I use the first option, the server sends an email to the email address that no longer exist and that is not the iCloud ID addresses database.

How can i get my ipad and iphone calendars to sync?

my ipad and iphone calendars used to sync fine but recently they stopped syncing. i haven't changed a thing so i don't even know how to begin fixing the problem.
everything gets backed up into icloud and connecting the ipad and iphone to my laptop for sycing hasn't resolved the issue.
my default email is a gmail account (calendar), which has been from the beginning; however, i have an icloud account on both devices, and i use the same apple id on all devices and itunes. in the past anything i would input into my gmail calendar on any computer would sync with my ipad and iphone, but no longer!! what happened????? right now all calendars are independent of one another; anything i input into my gmail calendar doesn't show on my ipad or iphone calendar or vice versa.
i have checked my ipad and iphone section by section to ensure everything is the same, and it is.
i am sooo frustrated right now somebody please help me to resolve this problem.

The first step in troubleshooting this is to determine which of your devices are not syncing with iCloud. To do this, add a new event on your iPad calendar and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com. Do the same thing on your iPhone and in Outlook. When you do this, which device is not syncing new events to the calendar on icloud.com?

I need to merge my apple accounts to get proper function of iCloud and iWork apps

I like so many people now have two apple ids. Becase I was a mobile me subsriber and I had a itunes account. The migration from me.com to icloud.com created another apple id.
So if I want my apps and music i have purchased over years i have to use one id and if I want my mail (years of messages)and calander and the storage for which i have paid for i need the second apple id.
Apple allows you to sign into icloud with one id and the itunes store with another which although is a pain did work.
Until I bought the pages app for my ipad in the app store with the account that all of my itunes purchases are contained in. For me the major reason of this app purchase is to get my documents into icloud and readable on my phone.
Problem: Since the app was purchased with an apple id other than the icloud id icloud dosent know it exist so it wont sync the files to icloud. When im logged into icloud and click on the iwork section i get prompted to get pages which i alredey have and when it takes my to the app store it tells me that i have downloaded it. An annoying cycle of not "just working". *** Apple?
Will you please remedy this situation by allowing me to merge my ids. And please let me use an id (user name)of my choice. Why does it have to be an email address?

You are really talking to the wrong people here. We are just other users like yourself, posing questions and answers to issues. You should contact Apple at the appropriate phone number on this page. Possibly they can straighten it out.
Best of luck.

Back up contacts from ipad to icloud

how do you back up contacts FROM the ipad INTO icloud? i did a sync and a backup to icloud and im still missing some in the cloud

You can perform a "cross-platform" restore like this, but it will only restore settings and apps that are compatible with your iPad Mini. For example, apps that are not "universal" so they will work on both your iPod Touch and your iPad Mini will not be restored.

My latest import photos are missing from my iphoto library but still on my ipad, how do I get them back into iphotos. I very frustrated because i just imported them from my camera and have not been able to go thru and edit the ones I want. Help please

I recently imported pictures from my camera to iphoto. I also synced my ipad. In less than 24 hours my photos are now missing from iphoto even after trying to sync my ipad again. These pictures are from a very special occasion and I did not even get time to edit. Someone help please

-Background-
My issue, which I resolved and may help you was the following:
I have an IPAD 3. I took over 5 GB of pictures on a third party camera. The car was full so I imported those pictures to my IPAD 3 and deleted them from the SD card. While on IOS 5.x, the photos on the IPAD were there under last imported.
Over the last few days, I upgraded to IOS 6. No issues.
Then, my family wanted to see the pictures from the trip. I went to the IPAD and could not find the photos. It listed 40 photos only. The last imported was there, but listed as empty. When I went into the settings>usage, it listed 5GB + of photos in the photos area. I was confused. I plugged my IPAD into ITUNES, first thinking I would get a backup asap (icloud was full after importing the photos). Then I though I would downgrade to IOS 5.
Also, itunes listed that I had 40 photos only, but 5GB of OTHER data. I was convinced the data was not lost. When I tried to browse the IPAD 3 using windows browser, the photos where NOT in the DCIM folder, so I was not able to simply "FIND" the photos and copy them to my PC.
-SOLUTION-
I downloaded third party software onto my PC called "http://www.i-funbox.com/" I fun box. I had no idea if this would work, but other forums with other issues called out similar products for iphone issues.
When I installed the program, which was free, and so far free of malware, I started to explore my IPAD file system.I found my photos, under IPAD>RAW file system>DCIM>100IMPRT.
-ROOT CAUSE-
I suspect when I upgraded to IOS 6, apple fails to register the IMPORT folder of photos as such, photos. So the file system in IOS looses sight of what is inside the last imported folder. Essentially removing them from applications such as "Photos". Why windows does not seem them, is beyond me. But the program I found did see them in raw format, and I was able to COPY them to my PC. Then I deleted them from the IPAD, because I had no other way of managing this folder in IPAD, and it was using a lot of space.

Use one of the previous accounts that you activated in this iPad or use another iOS device to activate the new one.

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck
