HT5051 How do you register for icloud

Ii have a new iPad 2, and I am a new apple user. Apparently when I bought this I bought a cloud!!!! However, I have no idea how to get registered with it, ( if you have to) and/ or how to transfer any documents onto it. Some 'laymen' advice would be good, cheers

You didn't 'buy' iCloud because at basic level it's free.
These pages will guide you through the process:
Get Started with iCloud

iCloud Help
These are the things which iCloud can do:
•Provides one main @me.com email address and up to three 'aliases' (additional addresses).
•Allows you to sync your calendars between your Mac(s) and iOS devices.
•Ditto with contacts
•Ditto with Safari bookmarks
•Provides a conduit which copies photos taken on any one device onto all the others
•Provides a fairly basic photo gallery (populated only from iPhoto for iOS)
•Provides 'Find My iPhone/iPad' to locate a missing device that is able to connect to a network
•Backs up the contents of your iPhone
•Syncs iWork documents (only) between your Mac and your iPhone
•Tracks the location of your friends (only with their permission)

To register in iCloud, you need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac in order to log in iCloud for the first time. See > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup
If you haven't got any of these devices to set up iCloud, you can't use iCloud. Anyway, probably you don't need it if you only have a PC and an iPod nano (it doesn't use iCloud)

I lost my ipod touch 4th generation at a party on saturday and I never went or registered for icloud and now I don't know how to track it down please helpp me!!!

Hi Vanessa,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If you didn't enable Find my iPod touch, you won't be able to track it with iCloud. The article below provides more details and some suggestions that I hope will be helpful.
What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5668
If you did not enable Find My iPhone on your missing device
If you did not enable Find My iPhone before it was lost or stolen, you can't use it to locate or protect your device, but you can still follow these steps:
Change your iCloud password to ensure that no one else can use your device to delete or make changes to your iCloud data.
Report your lost or stolen device to local law enforcement and your wireless carrier. Apple doesn't track or flag lost or stolen products, but you can use My Support Profile (supportprofile.apple.com) to find a list of serial numbers for products that you've purchased or registered with your Apple ID.
Good Luck.

How do people register for more than one person on a form?

We had a lot of complaints last year from organizations who sent several employees to our training. It took a long time for them to process these one at a time. How do people register for more than one person on a form?

Hi thearcca,
This entirely depends on the form you create, you can add multiple choice button and ask for the no. of employees the organization wants to register.
Also, you can add corresponding text field for the names.
Thanks,

How do you change your icloud account when you change email address

How do you change your Icloud account details from your old email address to your new email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How to configure SMTP for iCloud?

I have never used the Mail program on my macs. I started using Eudora in 1995 and when Mail came along some years later, i didn't take to it, it didn't have the functionality i needed and enjoyed. Fast forward to a couple days ago, my Snow Leopard MacBook is wearing out and i got a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. When i was setting up the new computer, i thought iCloud would be configured automatically. It wasn't because i have a couple of different Apple IDs but i think that is straightened out now and i'm signed in using the me.com email address and have my calendars and contacts syncing with iphone and my other computer. Mail is working, but only for my me.com email address which i rarely use. I mainly use a gmail address.
I don't want to use Mail and i don't want mail to be downloaded to it. That happened on my other computur, so that i had tens of thousands of messages in a program i never open and don't use. So i somehow turned it off so it no longer gets the mail from my other accounts. i don't want to receive email in Mail. But because i can't use Eudora in Mountain Lion, i need a new email client. Today, i downloaded and installed Mail Mate, i want to try it out. When I tried to use Mail mate to send an email i got a message saying "No SMTP server configured for iCloud." i googled how to configure SMTP for iCloud and what i found said it configures automatically. So i don't know what to do. I went to ICloud in system preferences and i don't see anything i can do there.
Is there anything i can get it to do to configure automatically? All my software is up to date, if that makes a difference.

i was persistently googling search terms for this problem and came across a link that gave information to the effect that for non Apple email clients, SMTP has to be configured manually, and the settings were provided. I entered them into Mail Mate and now it works. So thankfully, this problem is solved.
