ICloud already set up, but not being recognized on my iPad

I have already set up iCloud on my iPad and have transferred documents to it via iCloud. However, I wanted to transfer a document from my iPad to my laptop, so I went to iCloud.com to do it. All I could get was the screen telling me to set up iCloud on this device. I checked my settings and I am logged in. I can't even figure out how to change my Apple ID on it at this point- it is grey and appears not able to be altered (not that I want to).
Why won't it recognize my iPad and what do I do?
Thanks!

I don't think so. Here's where things are sticky. I have 2 iTunes accounts and I finally figured out all of those issues. I have iCloud on my laptop with the Apple login with the email that is linked to my iTunes account that I use for everything. The other account I ignore and pretend doesn't exist, but that is what I had to link my iCloud email to for whatever reason. So, the iCloud on my iPad has my regular Apple ID, even though it is the reason I was able to get the iCloud email. Under mail, it has my new iCloud email. I don't recall turning documents in the cloud "ON." I know when I start Pages or pretty much any program on my laptop, it asks if I want to send anything to iCloud. I don't get that with the iPad and can't figure out how to get anything from my iPad to iCloud.
Are you as confused as I am???

IPod Touch 4G 8GB charging perfectly, but not being recognized by Windows 7 OR iTunes?

Ipod touch charging, but not recognized by Itune or windowes, other divises are ( Iphone4 , Ipad) only my itouch is not... Should I reset it ?

Hi lllaass,
This looks like a very common problem.
I tried everything. Reset, Safe Mode, checked all cable, Apple Services from the dminstration tools.... other devises, like my Iphone and Ipad works perfectly.Only this itouch doesn't. If I reset all I will loss all my data since I can't back it up. It's jailbroken and it was wotking fine. Could it be software that I downloaded recently?I'm not sure it will work even if reset all. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

Apple ID already set up, but not getting email to reset

Trying to set up apple IDs for my boys, but the website says their email address have already been used. I hit the send the reset my password by email, but got no email. Anyone familiar with this issue?

Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
Note: Any & all apps obtained with your old ID are forever tied to that ID & can only be updated using that ID. Apps cannot be transferred to another Apple ID.

Sounds like you had the phone hacked to work on a network other than what the phone was originally locked to. When you updated the software on the phone it reverted back to the lock which makes your sim unusable.

HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
Go to 'Settings'
'Music'
Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
Then connect to iTunes and sync!

My iPhone 5c is not being recognized by my mac except to charge it. I'm up to date on all updates and don't know what else to do. I have restarted several times. I have even tried to update my iPhoto and I can't even do that with iPhoto 9.0, but can't.

My Iphone 5c is not being recognized by my Mac computer. I have done all of the upates, restarted several times and I'm not sure what else to do. I have searched and searched and searched and have come up with nothing. Also, my Iphoto can not be updated. I'm still using version 8. something, and it won't update without this update and that update. It needs 9.0 but I can't find that download anywhere. The only one that I can find is 9.1. That won't update. Is there anything that I can do, or should I just bite it and take it to apple to get looked at?

Does iTunes not see the phone?
If not, make sure you're running the current version of iTunes.
If you are running the current version and it still doesn't recognize it, see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
As for iPhoto, you will have to purchase a newer version. It's not a free upgrade. Or, you can use Image Capture, which is built into OS X, to import the photos.

My iPad is not being recognized by the computer, therefore, cannot sync. It charges when plugged to the wall, but not when pugged to iMac.

Most common culprits include the cable. Try swapping it out for a different one.. or not having the most recent version of itunes. I once even solved this problem by shutting down the computer for 2 minutes. (the longer the better), with the ipad plugged in. starting it up... then itunes recognizes it, launches, and syncs.
Apple has a troubleshooting assistant on this topic:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
It will advise you to reboot. I recommend shutting down instead.

P.S The ipad should charge when asleep and plugged into your Mac. The charging behavior is normal. There isn't enough power out the USB ports to charge the ipad while it is on on some older Macs and nearly all PCs.

TS3850 I am using a Sony HBR -VLU camera to import into Final Cut 10. Plugging into an I MAc that doesn't have a firewire port. The camera is not being recognized by the computer. The camera is set to play tape too. Why is camera not recognized?

I am trying to import from the camera into an I-MAC. I'm told the I-mac does not have the firewire port, but has thunderbolt. Is the only way to get video from the camera via a firewire port? Is someone giving me bad information as to the firewire port not being on the I-MAC? The camera is not being recognized. Thanks in advance.

Apple has moved on from Firewire and the current iMacs (and most MBPs) have Thunderbolt, USB3 and USB2.
There are Firewire toThunderbolt adaptors. Here's one. You also want a four pin to nine pin FW cable to run from your camera to the adaptor.

HT1510 My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. I have the original USB cord but when I plug it into my computer there is no recognition. The first time I plugged it in it recognized but never again.

My iPod shuffle is not being recognized by my computer. It is flashing orange and when plugged in with the original USB cable nothing happens to show the computer recognizes it.

Flashing orange usually means it is being recognized by the computer. The flashing means do not disconnected, because the shuffle's "disk" is mounted.
In iTunes (with the shuffle connected), when you look in the sidebar (left side of window), under DEVICES, the iPod is not shown there? Does it say DEVICES in the sidebar?

IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

Hello,
After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
What should I do now?

Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.
