NEW IPAD USER - HELP NEEDED RE: ITUNES & ICLOUD

Ok, so, firstly, sorry for what will prob be mundane and often asked questions !! (I have looked on apple support for ipad, but can't seem to find the exact answers to what I want to know!!)
Here goes,
I have a newly purchased ipad 4 (wifi only), and am a bit confused about a few things.
1) I want to put apps, games, music etc onto my ipad, I have downloaded itunes onto my laptop so that I can download apps onto that and then sync to my ipad, but at the risk of using all the memory on my laptop, after I sync ipad to laptop and sync apps across from itunes, can I then delete apps from my laptop to free up memory? Will they completely delete from itunes if I do this?
2) Should I use icloud, and if so, to get apps onto there, do they first have to be in itunes and moved to icloud? And if so, then can they be removed from laptop, again, to free up memory?
3) If I do use icloud (is it recommended??) ......will all the apps I download in itunes and move to icloud be there automatically when I connect to wifi with my ipad after logging in using apple id?
Hope this makes sense,
Thanks in advance for any help received......

Yes, you cna delete them, and they will be removed from iTunes. However, you can Download Apps directly onto the iPad from the App Store App; also once purchased, Apps can be redownloaded for free from the App Store "cloud" as many time as you want. So if you delete them from iTunes you can always re-download them in the future should you ever need to.
2) Should I use icloud, and if so, to get apps onto there, do they first have to be in itunes and moved to icloud? And if so, then can they be removed from laptop, again, to free up memory?
iCloud stores only backups of your device, and files form Apps like Pages, Numbers and Keynote along with your calendars, contacts, etc.. it does not directly sotre Apps or music or movies. You cannot directly transfer Apps to iCloud. However as was said, once purchased any Apps will be available to download from the "cloud", which is slightly different to "iCloud", automatically. They don't take up space in the iCloud account quota though, and can be safely deleted form your computer if you want to.
3) If I do use icloud (is it recommended??) ......will all the apps I download in itunes and move to icloud be there automatically when I connect to wifi with my ipad after logging in using apple id?
They'll be there, automatically should you ever decide to delete them form your iPad and need to download them again. Provided of course they continue to be available in the App Store. If they are removed from the App Store, then they will no longer be accessible from the cloud.

New iphone user - help needed with sync and icloud

I have 389 contacts on my iphone 4S,but only 370 are appearing in icloud on my laptop. When I look at "Groups" on my iphone there are two - icloud which contains the 370 that have sync'd ok, and my Apple account name (or e-mail address, they're the same) which contains 379. Presumably the missing 19 are somewhere in this 379, as when both groups are enabled I have the total of 389.
Any suggestions how I can get all my 389 contacts (and future new ones that I add) to sync correctly?
Thanks

Because there is only 19 I would go to icloud.com and sign in. I would add each one into your contacts that way and delete the duplicates.

New smartphone user - help needed with 520

I hope my issues are easy to solve. I have a gmail account and I want to download apps from Microsoft. Seems simple enough. But I cannot set up my gmail account and am totally befuddled. I look up Microsoft accounts and there are several. I went into Microsoft's outlook.com and set up an account @live.com.
When I try to sign into that account to download apps I get the error code FFFFFE70.
Please help me understand what I need to do to easily created accounts to post here, download apps from Microsoft, and have my email from gmail come to my phone

If there's an issue with the Microsoft account I guess best woudl be to contact their support line HERE.

I just found that I can't Sync my Iphone either and it gave the same error code.... it must be a ITunes problem.

This is the third time of writing this on your Apple Support Communities!
Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

Hi everyone I'm a new iPad user (ipad2) and have tried to download a few apps. I already have a iTunes/app store account but often when I try download a app I get a message that says "your request could not be processed"?

It could be a problem at the other end, try again tomorrow. Also , try resetting your iPad by holding down the home and sleep/wake button till the Apple logo appears and then let it wake up, maybe that may help.

You don't. You synch your iPod to your computer. There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod. You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

We are new ipad users and we're trying to download a film from itunes in Germany. It seems locked in aperpetual download mode. any suggestions?

we are trying to download a movie on itunes in Germany and it just stays locked in perpetual dowlaoding mode. We are new ipad users. Any suggestions?

How long have you waited to download this movie, and how fast is your internet connection?
The movies can be a few gigabytes in size, so if could take a few hours to download if your internet connection isn't super fast.

I am a new iPad user land just down loaded my first app pandora. How long before the app appears or do I need to do something else? TX. ksg

I am a new ipad user and just download an app for the first time. How long before the app is on the desktop or do l need to do something else. TX

Once you have tapped to install the app and input your apple ID it will appead on the home screen, where you will see a progress bar as it downloads and installs, that app should be fairly small so it should be a minutes or less on a good connection. If you can't see it, swipe left a few times until you see a search bar, type in the app name and will search the iPad for it

My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

New IPad 2 stopped working w/iTunes after only 1 1/2 wks before and after ios6 update. Why?

My new iPad 2 stopped connecting to iTunes when linked to my pc and will not sync. It was working fine and then just stopped. Error message tells me to reset iPad 2 to original settings but I don't want to lose all of my downloads, setting, info etc. I updated iTunes on my pc and still didn't work. I then updated to ios6 and still the problem persist. So far I'm very dissapointed in this purchase. May go back to Android. Can anyone help.

Alright, my issue had resolved itself in 4-5 hours after the original post. The photos in an empty Photo Stream simply started appearing without any involvement from my side: I just picked up the iPad, opened the Photos app and the Photo Stream began slowly filling up with the images, including the ones taken by the other devices in the "blackout" period (once again, my Photo Stream was empty because I tried to turn it off and back on to see if that would solve the problem.. it didn't).
I would suggest then to everyone with the issue to give it till the end of the day to see if things sort themselves out in the iCloud. Maybe there was some sort of bottleneck / too many requests from newly updated iOS 5.1 devices.

I am a new ipad user. how can i synch my email on my iphone and ipad to delete the message from all devices when I have deleted on one device?
