Icloud web address redirects to setup. Why and how to fix?

Hello. My problem is that any browser on my first generation IPad takes here when I type in my me.com, icloud.com, mac.com address:
https://www.icloud.com/ipad_welcome/
Same in Safari, Chrome, Atom.....
Note that I am not talking about the Mail app on either IPad or the Mac.
I just wanted to go to the web version, as I have in the past on public machines and on my Mac.
On my Mac, I get to icloud.com and can see all the things normally there, such as Calendars, Mail, Pages, etc.
1. On both the IPad and Mac, I have Icloud enabled.
The setting I use for mail ( in the apps themselves) is me.com on the Mac and mac.com on the IPad, I think.
2.Am I correct that regardless of the app settings or Icloud being enabled, the web address SHOULD appear? After all, it has in the past on public computers.
3. If so, it is unclear why only my IPad and not my Mac won't take me to the web address? I mean to check a public machine this week to confirm.
4. Regardless what the answer is, can anyone explain how turning on icloud for mail makes any difference if I am using imap? I can see syncing other things suxh as Calendar, but in mail IMAP seems to obviate the need for syncing.
(Actually, since updating to Mavericks, I beleive my Mac app stopped syncing with my Ipad and web icloud versions. Sme happened many moons ago. Until then, Mac and Ipad resident calendar programs, as well as icloud version, were the same.)
thanks
PS
(modified)
I just checked my apple id on the Ipad and it ia set for [email protected] If I sign in at icloud, i see me.com and icloud.com are listed as alternative addresses. with mac.com being primary.

thank yo snozdop...did'nt know that. thanks. as to the reason to do it...with 6 different email addresses in my mail app, when away i want to be extra careful and send from the correct one. many a time i have sent from something other than the mac address.
thanks.

thanks for the tip. If that works with the web version (snozdop implies it may not) great.
btw, can anyone help explain the difference between syncing in icloud with mail and with imap. imap seems more than enough.

Itunes crashes when iTunes Match runs its Step 3 (not before) - any ideas why and how to fix it?

Every time iTunes runs the iTunes Match, when iTunes MAtch gets to Step 3 - iTunes stops working - ie crashes. Any idea why and how to fix it? The songs are still uploaded to iCloud etc... but it crashe iTunes every single time

I cannot explain the failure, but I can tell you that I have a string of approx. 24 emails with Apple and a combined 10hrs of talk time with Apple customer reps that tried helping me precisely for the issue that iTunes Match would crash at Step 3 without fail. Apple even logged my Console and I was talking to an engineer that literally wrote part of the code for iTunes Match (that was the fourth and last level of customer care I was escalated to). The poor man almost quite his job, and I just about demanded a refund for my $25, since iTunes Match simply wasn't working.
Then I studied at a friend's place, and I noticed that all of a sudden, while iTunes was running in the background, half my library was already uploaded and things were progressing smoothly. It turns out that it had something to do with my modem specifically, as I had already hooked up my computer straight to the modem, taking the router (TimeCapsule) out of the equation. Nothing worked. Firewalls were turned off, no AntiVirus existed, and Apple engineers tried everything possible, incl. remote access on my computer, to get this to work. Nothing worked as long as I was connected to a Motorola Surboard.
At every other network, wether at Starbucks, my university, or at friends places, however, iTunes Match worked flawlessly.
After some research online, it turnes out that a handful of people with Motorola Surrboard Xtreme cable modems had similar issues. Eversince, I simply use my neighbors wifi should I need to upload songs, and I have no issues. Oddly enough, matching (not uploading) works just fine with my Motorola.
Don't ask me how or why, I am interested in computers and work with them a lot, but I am no engineer. I can tell you that simple scientific method pinpointed to the modem, and I haven't had issues since then.

Your Windows friend should ask in a Windows forum why his email client won't open attached jpg files. We have no idea what email client he is using or how his Windows security is configured.

The people at the store the gift card came from didn't activate it. Ask them or the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Some playlists won't sync, why and how to fix?

So far I have found 5 playlists on my iTunes library that won't sync to my iPod. I have no issue with my previous iPod or my iPhone with those playlists but only with my late 2009 issue iPod classic (160GB).
Anyone know why or how to correct this issue?

More Information:
The the difference in the Smart Playlists that appear in the iTunes left-side folder panel but not in the Devices/iPod/Music tab panel and those that appear in both is that they all contain the Match All rule term: "Playlist is ".
I need that rule because I load only a subset (about 9,000 songs) of the songs on iTunes onto my iPod Classic. I use a Non-Smart Playlist ("My iPod List") to enumerate those songs. Thus the various Smart Playlists need to be conditioned on that ("My iPod List") Playlist subset so that they do not load other songs from iTunes. This used to work just fine. One of the upgrade revisions to iTunes (9?) or the iPod broke it. Smart Playlist Rules that reference other Smart Playlist still work correctly.
Can this bug be fixed?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Files/folders created in Windows share are read-only... why and how to fix?

Client: MacBook Pro running 10.7.5
Server: Windows 7 desktop
I'm sharing a folder from the Windows 7 machine and mounting it on my Mac using Finder's "Connect to Server..." and an smb:// URI. I'm providing a user ID/password for an account on the Windows 7 box that has full control over the shared folder, via smb://userid:password@server/share.
The volume mounts properly on my desktop, can I can see files/folders there as expected. However:
If I create a folder, it's read-only. I cannot create any files inside (or even see inside), rename the folder, or delete the folder. The folder has a badge: red circle with bar.
If I create a file, it's read-only. I cannot rename it, delete it or edit it.
If I examine File Info via Finder on any of these files or folders, under Sharing & Permissions it says "You have custom access."
If I try to delete these files/folders, I get error code -8072. I can delete them from the command-line, but I can't otherwise manipulate them.
I've verified on the Windows box that the user ID I'm using has full control of the folder. I've also set it so Everyone has full control, with no difference.
This seems to have been a recent change in behaviour (a few weeks ago I was copying data to this drive, no problem), and it's driving me crazy because I can't figure out how to fix it.

L145:
It is always good counsel to Repair Disk Permissions (from the internal HDD) before and after any new installation.
To change permissions in our Applications Folder:
Select Applications Folder.
Get Info (Command + i)
Go down to Ownership & Permissions
Click on arrow next to Details to expand.
Click on lock and authenticate
Owner is system
Group is admin
Change all permissions to Read & Write except Others
Other can Read only.
Please do not hesitate to post back should you have any further questions or comments.
Good luck.
