I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 do

I used icloud to sync my new mini2 with my old ipad-3 everything went fine. I use itunes to BU my ipad & mini, and do not need family icloud. Is there any reason to stay signed in to icloud with my devices. Won't my ipad & mini sync contacts, calender etc. to each other with out icloud?
Thanks!

Thanks Winston. I asked because I can't get my Mini2 calender to sync with my ipad or outlook calender. Trying to eliminate what I don't need. I have everything set up properly AFAIK. Do I need something like a Exchange account to get the Mini calender to sync, or should it sync automatically.
Ipad has been upgraded to iso 8.1.2. and it sync's to outlooks calender and vice versa, just Mini2 calender won't sync.
thanks

    On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

    4) Theres no conflict resolution poping up.
    5) I have various clanders being shown on my Q -10.
    I have disabled 'Home' calendar and Kept "BBLink' calendar ON (abled)   as I was getting double entries after syncing with mycomputer.
    Would this create any  issues with the entiries/ changes that I make either on the Computer or my BB?

  • Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

    Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

    On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
    Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.

  • I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

    I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

    I believe to use iCloud you need to run at least Lion (10.7). (Only the Find My iPhone or Find My Mac parts of iCloud work with OS earlier than 10.7/Lion).
    I think you can run Lion but you should check each of the following:
    "To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion"
    You have a Core 2 Duo. You can upgrade to 10.6 and then install Lion, or use the thumb drive approach mentioned above (thumb drive Lion costs about $70 I think). You need to check your RAM to see if you have enough.
    Folks have reported that 4 GB RAM is really a minimum for a decent experience with Lion.
    For Mountain Lion, see this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444 ) for what you need to have to install OS 10.8. I don't think you can use Mountain Lion (10.8) with your early 2008 Macbook.

  • HT4914 I have 25 GB of songs on my Ipod. I want to buy an IPAD. If I use ICloud to sync my music, will the IPAD use 25 gigs of space? I am trying to decide which I pad to get and 32 Gigs would be plenty, if the 25 gigs already on my Ipod do not count.

    I own an Ipod with 27 GB of music. I am considering an Ipad. If I use ICloud to sync my devices, will the new Ipad use 27 GB? The answer to this question will affect which GB size Ipad that I buy. Thanks!

    If you put the music on the ipad, then it will use the space.

  • Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

    Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

    What do you mean by "apple ID"?  There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc.  there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

  • HT1766 Good evening. I backed up my iphone5 today at 17:12 using iCloud before downloading the new software. I have now lost all my pictures/messages from May as the backup hasn't worked!! Can I do anything?

    I backed up my iphone5 using iCloud before downloading the new ISO software. I have now lost all my pictures and messages as the backup doesn't seem to have worked even though it says last backed up today 17:12. Is there anything I can do?

    Backing up doesn't change or delete anything on the phone. I am guessing you restored your phone using iCloud.
    If you did not have a backup of it made before you did 'whatever it was you did', then the information is gone.

  • How use icloud to sync my firefox bookmarks?

  • Is anyone else having problems syncing an external calendar app (Easy Calendar) with iCal using iCloud for syncing?

    Prior to upgrading to Mavericks, I would use iTunes to sync my two calendar apps--Easy Calendar (from the app store) and the native iCal and of course, I would wind up with the same calendar events on both calendars after syncing.  Since upgrading to Mavericks and--per Apple instructions, using iCloud to sync--I can't sync the two calendars.   At this point, I'm thoroughly confused about where I can go to find/see a backup of my non-iCal calendar app that's on my iPhone.  I'm beginning to think that if I don't use Apple's iCal, I can't back up or sync my calendar events using a non-native app such as Easy Calendar.  Is that correct?

    I, too, had long waiting times. Here's what worked for me.
    As I went through some of my Pages and Numbers documents, I got warnings that there were sync discrepancies (differing versions in iCloud and on my iPads and laptop). So, I removed everything from iCloud Drive using my laptop (saved to local folder). I let my iPads sync so they removed all the iCloud-based documents. On the laptop I went through and forced everything to the latest file format (latest Pages and Numbers on Yosemite) by re-saving, then copied everything back into iCloud Drive. My iPads both updated within seconds and everything now syncs quickly.
    Don't know if eliminating sync discrepancies is the solution, but it seems to have worked in my case. Hope it might help others.

    How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes?  I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini.  Thanks.

    If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
    First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
    Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
    That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.
