HT204053 iPad- iCloud- mobile me- OS

I've bought an iPad3. I also have a Mac running Snow Leopard, and a mobile me account.
I have indicated I wish to continue with my mac.com address after mobile me shuts down.
I want to register the iPad with iCloud even though I know I can't sync it with the Mac until I upgrade the OS.
I don't want to have two separate ID's.
So, what's the best route?

From the following kb:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4929
"If your devices meet system requirements, you'll also be able to access all of the iCloud features after June 30, 2012, but only on your compatible devices".
I guess even that's open to interpretation, but that was how I saw it. I'm assuming if you chose this option and can't use the iCloud features until July, then you wouldn't be able to log into iCloud until then either.
Unfortunately, you are entirely correct about the documentation. Indeed between the poor documentation and the undocumented changes as we go along, I have found myself embarrassed on a number of occasions, after giving out incorrect information.

I can't update or sync address contacts to iPad or Mobile Me

For many months I've put up with an incomplete sync of my contacts from my MacPro (which was selected as my "master" sync from here to mobile me in system preferences) because the bulk of my address book was available in mobile me. I also hate using webmail of any stripe so I had no reason to fret over the many missing addresses or any of the updates. Now I've added an iPad and I need all of the address to transfer over.
I did change my AppleID password some time ago. I have signed into mobile me with the new password many times. I wouldn't think that matters but I saw in a post someone mentioned doing that and I remember I had done it too.
Yesterday, with the iPad plugged into my MacPro, I was able to force sync with mobile me, but the only result of that was there were a few duplicates of old contacts as the warning said might happen when using iTunes and mobile me to sync. NONE of my updated contacts or new addresses came through. It's a matter of several dozen new contacts and changes I haven't been able to keep track of that are failing to be represented in either the iPad or mobile me.
I've followed all the advice I can detect from this forum to rectify the problem. I am using Snow Leopard 10.7.6. My MacPro is too old to update to Lion so iCloud is not an option and I'm not confident it would do any better. I went into system preference and turned off mobile me syncing across the board. I tried syncing with the iPad plugged into my MacPro several times through iTunes. I decided I should restart the computer just to make double sure the changes I made in system preferences to NOT sync with mobile me were applied.
I just barely started using iCal for more than a birthday calendar since getting my iPad. I've got several appts. listed on it now. iCal will not sync between the two devices either. The new birthdays I've added through my address book which appear on my MacPro did not go to my iPad and the appts. did not show up on my MacPro. I just did the force sync on calendars from iTunes again, toggling between all calendars and selected caledars and I di get something to happen. A bunch of the old contact entries from the address book duplicated on iCal on the iPad. Once again, none of the appts. on the iPad show up on the MacPro.
I've gone to the Advanced request on iTunes several times and asked it just to Apply Contacts to the iPad on the next sync only. It simply does not work to get my additional contacts. I currently have 657 contacts in my master address book on my MacPro. Mobile me lists even more but that's simply evidence that it's not kept up with my efforts to clean up my address book over the years and that it doesn't really follow the instruction in system preference that it should take from the MacPro, not merge. Merging is a disaster. Many new entries are missing from mobile me and the ipad. It doesn't look like the iPad gives a contact count. I just got a smattering of duplicates to transfer when yet again I told it to Apply while connected to iTunes with mobile me sync still turned off, but no new or corrected ones came through. You can see I'm going in circles.
Please give me suggestions of what to do next. I have backed up an archive of Address Book to my computer.

I thought I finally found the answer in post https://discussions.apple.com/message/10843915#10843915
I deviated from the instructions by manually deleting all my contacts while in Mobile Me before trying the forced update because it hadn't worked in the past to force transfer the addresses. I thought starting with a clean slate might be a step ahead. Now that clean slate seems permanent.
The gutsy move was to make Mobile Me download the empty address book into my MacPro. My address book went empty until I restored it through the archive I'd saved. It proved the computer and Mobile Me are communicating since it wiped out my address book on my desktop. I restored everything by importing the archive back into the address book. Thankfully that part is fine.
What is not working is for me to get ANY addresses to move back to Mobile Me despite repeated attempts at changing the reset action through the advanced selection of Mobile Me in System Preferences. I've unselected syncing and restarted the computer. I've signed out of MM and signed back in. I've closed the browser and opened it fresh again. I've closed and opened Address Book on the computer. None of those actions make a whit of difference. Mobile Me contacts remains empty when I tell it to replace MM with the contents of my AB on my MacPro.
I see under the gear there is an ability to import vCards. Is there any way to do a batch import? I have almost 700 addresses separated into more than a dozen groups. It will be a mighty tedious process to import them one by one.
No, iCloud is not an option. My computer is one version too old to upgrade to Lion.

I have in my ipad icloud backup window open and I can't close and I can't do anything I tried to press OK and nothing happen is freezing

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Ipad and Iphone with different apple ID. Changed to same, but can't change the Ipad Icloud to match with the same @me account. Help!

When I got my Iphone, I couldn't remember the apple ID, so Best Buy created one. Now my Ipad Icloud account has a different ID than my Iphone. Can I change this so all the passwords match? I was able to log in to the Ipad and change the Apple ID to match the Iphone but can't find a way to do same for Icloud on Ipad.
thanks

So are you trying to change your passwords? Or change which account is logged into icloud?
Here are the instructions for changing which account is logged into icloud. Go to settings-icloud-delete account. Then settings-icloud-sign in with the account you wish to use.

My user id has changed but did not update in my ipad icloud account. How do I change my icloud account to my new ID?

I changed my user id recently. But in my Ipad, Icloud setting, the ID has not changed. How do I change the ID in Icloud settings?

You cannot change an Apple ID. You presumably created a new one.
So go to Settings > iCloud, delete the old iCloud account from your iPad (down at the bottom), and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
If you have purchased material (e.g., iTunes music), you may well run into issues doing this change, in that your iTunes music is not authorized to play on your new Apple ID.

How do I make a media placeholder in numbers for iPad/iCloud

How do I make a media placeholder in numbers for the iPad/iCloud
also can I format the placeholder reduce the pixels of the imported
image.

I've only seen this particular function in the Mac / desktop version of iWork. As far as I know, images / media are not resized by placeholders, only masked. Once placed, the images can be double-clicked / double-tapped and then scaled to the appropriate size within the mask.

Hi,
i am facing this problem in OBIEE 11.1.1.6 BP1.
1) Where I have created a new Geo map using the Mapbuilder.
2) the same is shown correctly in IE.
3) But when accessed through iPad obiee mobile HD app then the conditional formatting (Colour filling) does not appear on the Map. Instead a '?' QUESTIONMARK is displayed on the map when accessed through the App.
If anybody is facing a similar issue please let me know.

Use the below code in Text object in your page and tick the box for ‘contains HTML markup’.
For permanent, site-wide solution would be to modify views.css
<style>
.PTPageControl { border:0px; padding:0px; }
.PTPageEmbedded { border:0px; }
</style>
in .css file
looks for the text as below
border:solid 1px
put 0px instead of 1px
Pls mark if helps

Problem with rescheduled meeting request from a LotusNotes user. How can I get it to process on my iPad/iCloud account?

When I receive an original meeting request from a LotusNotes user, I can select the .ics attachment and it gives me an option to "add to calendar" which will place it on my calendar. However, when I receive a rescheduled meeting notification, I get an email with the .ics attachment but it does nothing when I try to select it from the email. There is no "add to calendar" or anything. How can I get the reschedule information to make the appropriate changes in my iPad/iCloud calendar?
I have tried from my iPad email and from my online iCloud interface and neither seems to work.

Does iPad/iCloud photo resolution setting apply to computer imports?

My iPad / iCloud settings are to store the higher quality original photo in iCloud while the iPad automatically, in the background, makes a second smaller version for local storage optimised for the iPad. This is a setting on the iPad. Does this function still apply when I import from a computer?

I read that if I use the Camera Connection Kit to load photos directly from my camera to the iPad, that the iPad "modifies/reduces" the resolution of the jpeg (if they were taken with a high res camera).
It doesn't.
The original file from the camera is copied to the iPad and it is not modified.
When you connect the iPad to the computer, you can then copy the original to the computer.
The reason I am concerned is that I want to use my iPad as a repository for my images while I am traveling and then move those photos to my computer for editing when I am back home. BUT if something is going to be lost in this process
Nothing is lost from CCK to iPad to computer.
When syncing photos back to the iPad thru iTunes, the photos get reduced/optimized to 2304 x 1536.

If you're refering to your uphone number thats set up to be used with imessage on your ipad, then that is associated with your apple id and has to be changed there first.

https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Then on your ipad, sign out of messages. Go to settings/messages/tap on send and receive/tap on apple id/sign out

Javascript created in fireworks doesn't work with touch ipad and mobile devices.

My website was created in DreamWeaver.
Navigation is a popup/dropdown menu run by javascript created in FireWorks
Website: www.woodstockchamber.com
Problem:
The mouse over doesn't work on iPads and mobile devices.
The menu opens up and the category highlights, but that is where the action stops.
It doesn't complete the action and link.
It has worked well for years on desk tops and laptops.
This is a serious issue for me as iPads and mobile devices are so popular and used a lot in this tourist town.
Thanks,
Norm

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.
