Photos in icloud with no apple camera?

I bought an IPad and a Mac Book Air almost at the same time a couple of months ago. I am new to Apple and I was quite happy about both of them, except for the features regarding photo sync and transfer, especially TO the IPad.
I thought that the comming of IOS5 will solve all that problems, but no. The only thing that IOS5 has brought me is sync without a cable... not such a rocket science nowadays anyway.
But regarding photo sharing amongst devices though icloud or some othe feature, I got nothing. It is supposed to sync your iphone photos with all your apple enabled devices... but WHAT If YOUR PICTURES DO NOT COME FROM APPLE DEVICES?
I HAVE non Apple cameras, pictures comming from emails from friends, photo sharing websites, etc
How do I put those photos comming from not Apple devices to sync though icloud or some other apple feature?
I have activated photo stream in all my devices and also on a Windows Itunes but it doesn't seem to sync.
The ideal for me would be to mark a photo source on one or several windows or mac folders, so that pictures I copy there are transferred to icloud and downloaded to the iphoto app on the ipad directly.
Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks, but this is NOT what I was looking for.
This is 2011!
A Wifi connection is all the hardware I should ever need to keep my idevices & itunes in sync, specially with ICloud around.
Wasn't that was Icloud was all about?
If Apple won't provide this, dropbox or box.net etc won't have anything to fear from ICloud.

    Hello, kitkatshaw. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like you are attempting to create an iCloud account with your Apple ID through iCloud.com.  In order to create an iCloud account, you must sign up via one of the options below.
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later.

  • I loged in in icloud with my apple id, it says its not an icloud account, how do I make it an i cloud account?

    1) I loged in in icloud with my apple id, it says its not an icloud account, how do I make it an i cloud account?
    2) The thing is that i have 2 apple ids:
    and I want to use this apple id for icloud and another for appstore.
    How do i do it?

    You create an iCloud account by going to Settings>iCloud on an iOS device or System Preferences>iCloud on a Mac and signing in with your Apple ID.  This requires iOS 5 or higher on your iOS device or OS X 10.7.2 or higher on your Mac.  Note: you cannot create an iCloud account on a PC, you can only sign into an existing iCloud account that was created on an iOS device or Mac.

  • When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.

    When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.  I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name.  WIERD???

    There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

    I receive a " the maximum number of free account have been activated on this iPhone " when I want to sign in iCloud with my Apple ID on my iphone..please someone help me..

    Any one device can create only three iCloud accounts: this is tied to the hardware, not the user account, and there is no way round this.
    You will have to create an iCloud account on another iOS device or Mac, then you can sign into it on your iPhone.

    If you've already reset the password and changed your payment information, then the next best thing to do is call Apple directly and ask for iTunes Billing Support.  Your account is likely disabled on their computers as part of their fraud prevention protocol.  You may have to verify yourself as the account holder to get the account enabled again.
    Good Luck!

    If you are getting the message above it's because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • HT5622 my wife and I have separate apple ID acts so that we could register our iPhones and iPads under our own names.  Can I have my iMac synch iCloud with both apple ID's so that both our calendars end up on our iMac?

    If have separate iCloud accounts and want to keep your all your iCloud data separate, you can create separate user accounts for each of you, then sign into your individual iCloud account within your user account.
    If you want to just add both iCloud calendars on your Mac, you can sign into one iCloud account in System Preferences>iCloud, then add the second account in System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud and only check Calendars with this second account.

  • Sharing photos to iCloud with Aper 3.6 no longer works

    Hello:
    It appears that the option to share photos to iCloud from within Aperture no longer works (option is there but is greyed out).  I think this occurred sometime during the recent update cycles to Yosemite and IOS but I haven't used it for some time so I'm not sure.  All I'm doing is selecting my photo and hitting share->iCloud which has worked well in the past.  I can see a fair amount of chatter about this and/or similar issues but I haven't been able to discern if anyone has come up with a solution.
    Any help / comments appreciated
    Dave
    Using Yosemite and Aper 3.6 on a late 2009 27 iMac (need a new one....soon)

    I believe I may have misspoke, was thinking about something else.
    You've probably been thinking of iCloud Photo Library (Beta) , see:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support . That is a real killer .
    iTunes Photo Sync will no longer upload photos to iOS 8 devices - iTunes will just show a prompt, that photos can now be uploaded using iCloud.
    My Photo Steam will no longer upload to iOS devices from the Macs. That is, what many users have reported, but I do not know any Apple Support document that confirms it.
    On iOS 8 devices is the Camera Roll no longer  visible.
    The only ways I know to upload from the Mac to iOS devices with iCloud Photo Library (Beta) active, is Mail, Dropbox, or https://www.icloud.com/#photos.
