Issues syncing with icloud from Ipad2

I set up my account for icloud on my ipad2 after the OS5 update however, when trying to actually finish the process I am recieving a notice that there is a problem backing up.  Has anyone else had this issue?? If so have you figured out a fix??

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • What is the SAFEST SEQUENCE to convert from a Outlook/iPad/iPhone synced with MobileMe to syncing with iCloud (I have 10 years of calendar diary events and 3000 contacts) - I am worried about the data issues that have been posted about iCloud.

    This has worked fine with MobileMe with only a couple of minor glitches in the past.
    Any experience doing this the "right" way?

  • Since I created an iCloud email account, nothing on my ipad2 syncs with iCloud on my PC and all of my prior information has disappeared from my gmail, notes, calendar, etc. Any ideas?

    Why is it that since I created an iCloud email account (my default email client is gmail), nothing on my iPad2 syncs with iCloud on my PC? Also, all prior content in Notes, Contacts, Mail, Calendar, etc. has disappeared.

    Okay, I see from the control panel for iCloud in Explorer that now I have to use Outlook as my mail client for Calendar, Mail and Notes. Why? Gmail is my client and everything used to work fine until I had to get that @icloud.com account.
    Also, I see I have to use Explorer as my browser if I want to sync Bookmarks. What's wrong with Firefox?
    Outlook is the only supported Mail/Contacts and Calendars client on a PC.
    And once more, Gmail has no connection with iCloud, you can continu using Gmail on the web or in Mail
    Why not say what you expect to happen and I'll tell you if it will.

  • I have an iPad 2. It synced all my information from my Android to the ipad.  I cannot get my calender on my ipad to sync with iCloud.  Can anyone help?

    Okay, this is interesting, because I was under the impression that FOR IOS DEVICES, contacts are NOT included in a backup, since they are already on icloud (in the contact database).  And since you erased the contacts, then they are gone for good.  One recommendation I've read about is, assuming you have a computer like a Mac also connected to the same icloud account, you can get the contacts back from a backup of the computer, like Time Machine.  However, I don't know where you'd look for that file or files (even though the contacts are stored centrally on icloud, I'm guessing they are also stored locally in a cache file).
    I think another suggestion made here (IIRC) is to turn off syncing of contacts (on the device), then do a restore.  Since there's no sync, icloud's empty contact database will not overwrite the local contacts on the deviced.   Again, I may not be remembering correctly.  Some of these older posts about this same problem were some time ago.
    I'd welcome anyone who really knows the details on this to add to the discussion here.  This is an issue faced by many posters.

    Hello Rsd841979,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not very clear to me what you're trying to accomplish with iCloud, but if you want to start backing up to iCloud, then you can follow the directions in the article below.  If this is not what you are trying to do, then please let me know what you're wanting to use iCloud with.

  • Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

    Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

  • Having issues with music volume after syncing with iCloud, Having issues with music volume after syncing with iCloud

    Has anyone had issues with their music volume after syncing with iCloud ?

    There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
    The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
    I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer.

  • If I delete photos on my Iphone or Ipad, are they also deleted from Icloud and other devices which are synced with Icloud?

    I have a number of photos on my Ipad and/or Iphone, and I have synced them with Icloud (my IMac is also synced with Icloud). I know that I can choose to synch directly with my IMac instead of with Icloud, but I would like to know what happens to the photos if I delete them from my Ipad/Iphone? I want to delete photos and movies to make more room on the devices.
    I have not selected automatic syncing with Icloud for my photos.
    I assume that the photos remain in Icloud until I go to Icloud to delete, but does anyone know how that is supposed to work?
    Thanks

    Remember that you should not store photos on iCloud. It's time and capacity limited. It holds up to 1,000 photos for no more than 30 days. So, import  no. 1001 and the first one is dumped. Leave them untouched and they will be deleted from iCloud after 30 days.
    You can't delete individual photos from iCloud (only reset the whole thing) so trashing from a device will not trash from iCloud.

  • I am trying to set up and sync with icloud but it says my email has not been verified. How do i do this? When i click the email verification nothing comes to my email allowing me to verify.

    how can i get confirmed to sync with icloud?

    You might try contacting iTunes store support.  Even though this is an ID that you want to use for iCloud, it's still an Apple ID.  iTuens store support deals with Apple ID issues all the time and they may be able to help you.  Just explain that you are trying to verify your primary email address for your Apple ID but are not receiving the verification email from Apple, despite multiple attempts to resend it.  You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
    You might also check with your email provider to be sure they aren't blocking email from [email protected] as spam at their end.

  • IWork not syncing with iCloud on iPad

    Okay, I am having the same problem a lot of people have been having. Namely, my iWork documents are not properly syncing with iCloud. They're stuck on either upload or download. Sometimes, I'll get a document to download, but it immediately begins to upload again, even though I haven't opened it on my iPad. I have tried everything I have found in the forums:
    Deleted the documents from iCloud and my iPad, then uploaded to iCloud from my Mac.
    Turned off the Documents and Data option in the iCloud menu on my iPad, turned the option back on then restarted the iPad. (I've tried several variations of this option.)
    Restored iPad using iTunes.
    Has anyone been able to find a definitive solution to this issue?

    stpauli, it sounds like it's you and me in this together. Have you had any luck? I've had a little. I've been working on this for about a month now. Here's what I did:
    I deleted all of my documents from my iPad, iTouch, and iCloud. (I tried it without deleting, but it didn't work.)
    I completely turned off iCloud on ALL of my devices, even my Mac.
    I deleted all files in iTunes for the iWork suite. (Again, I didn't this this would matter, but it didn't work of they were still there.)
    I restored both my iPad and iTouch using their most recent back ups.
    I switched on iCloud on ALL of my devices again.
    When I opened the programs, things seemed to be working again. It worked well for two days, but now it's being funny again
    iCloud will not push out to my iPad. If I create or edit on my iPad, it will push up to iCloud just fine, but if I upload a document to iCloud from my Mac, it never shows on my iPad. In fact, I edited a document that was in iCloud using my Mac, and uploaded the file back to iCloud. The updates never showed on my iPad, and when I closed the document, two versions of the same file appeared in iCloud. The one that was uploaded from my Mac is unusable.
    This is definitely an iCloud issue. Unfortunately, the nearest Apple store is a four hour plane ride away, and my devices are out of waranty so they want to charge me for help. I hope you're having better luck.

  • Address Book 2011 Not syncing with iCloud

    Just recently my Address Book stopped syncing with iCloud and I can't figure out why.  I have tried logging out and back in to the software and iCloud and signed out of Apple in system preferences.  The Address Book software on my iMac 2011 has been a little buggy, in that it keeps showing double entries that are not picked up with "find duplicates."  Those duplicates don't show up in iCloud, my iPhone6, my iPad mini (original mini with out ios 8 upgrade) and my macbook pro.  I am still running Lion on the iMac.  I can't see a way to upgrade or reinstall just the Address Book.  I guess the only way to get a new version is to upgrade to Yosemite.  I just don't want to do that right now, but I would like my other devices to have my updated Address Book entries from the Address book on the iMac.
    Also, when I look at ICloud settings it shows the iPhone6 and Macbook Pro (with Yosemite), but not the iPad or the iMac. I have turned on iCloud on the iPad and I am signed in to iCloud on the iMac through System Preferences.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi zacimac,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with Address Book and iCloud. If you are having unusual syncing or duplicate issues between Address Book on your Mac running Lion and iCloud Contacts, you may find some of the info and steps outlined in the following articles helpful:
