Unable to link iPad with iCloud

Hi all,
I father got an iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1 ( Didn't wish to upgrade as my iPhone 4 gives more issues after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1). The problem is that am unable to setup iCloud account with it. I created a new apple id for my father. But when I use that to create an account with iCloud under settings it just ejects itself outta the settings option and returns to the homepage.
Do I have to connect it to a computer fitst t

You should be able to force it into recovery mode (which will erase it) and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Heya Katie!!
So, the article you have there, HT4895, is pretty good. Just look at the FAQ section of it.
But basically, you will want to create a backup on your computer through iTunes...Just plug your current iPad into it and make sure your iPad and iTunes are logged in with the same Apple ID. At that point, just create a backup.
When you get your new iPad, and before you plug it in or set it up, follow the directions in this link to change your Apple ID. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621?viewlocale=en_US
Once you have that done, plug your new iPad into your computer to sync up with iTunes. Follow the directions for Restore from Backup and it should bring all that info back to your new iPad.
And changing your Apple ID email info will allow you to have your own!!! This should solve all your issues and GL!!!

Until the MacBook Air was released and supported in 10.5, the Mac did not consider USB to be a valid Networking Protocol. So set the Mac with USB solutions aside.
To connect computer-to-computer, you typically need to be using an Ethernet crossover cable. Assigning the same address to two Ethernet devices is never the solution -- it gives a Network Conflict, just as you said.
If your Windows box has some mechanism for Sharing its WiFi connection over Ethernet, you would have to follow its rules. Whether that means Manually assigning an Ethernet Address in the same range or the PC will provide the Address, I do not know.
Best success may be running an Ethernet cable to your Wired/Wireless Base Station, or using a "gaming adapter" (Ethernet-to-Wireless no drivers required) connected to the Mac's Ethernet port to give it WiFi access. What is your Base Station {Cable, DSL, FIOS, Other} ? Ethernet cables can be up to 100 meters (an American Football Field). Often the Base Station can be moved closer for more convenience.

Is there other way which I can erase my iPad. Because the regular way shows that "There was a problem deregistering this iPad with iCloud."

If you want to wipe your iPad back to new in box, i.e., ready to be set up as a new device.
1. Turn off Find My iPhone.
2. Then go to settings > general > erase > erase all content and data
You'll have to confirm you really want to do this, but once it's complete, the iPad will be back to way it was when you took it out of the box for the first time.
And BTW., it wasn't necessary to post this question twice in two separate threads.

How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

How come my iPad with iCloud doesn't sync with my iPhone 4 that has same apple id and both ios5?

Not sure if you just have an issue with your setup or something else.
I had an issue where my numbers and pages documents were not syncing on my ipad, but were on my iphone.
I turned icloud off an on, reset the apps, even deleted them and reinstalled them. I also checked all of the other icloud setting.
Only thing that worked (and it might be just a fluke) I emailed from my iphone a numbers document to my ipad. I opened then closed the document and the app. When I opened it back up it started importing my icloud documents.
If it is a settings issue then you need to be sure you have icloud setup in your mail settings. Has to be there and active.

There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
There is no workaround.
Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
AppleId you used to log into this forum?

Help! Syncing iPad with iCloud after setting it to sync with iTunes

I bought my iPad yesterday and synced it with iTunes. Now I want to sync it with iCloud (I have my iPhone 4 backed up in iCloud). Do I need to restore my iPad?.

I don't actually play games on my iPad or phone but I believe that games need to work through the game centre for data to sync like that. Although its also technically possible for games to do it through document and data syncing in the iCloud system preferences, but I don't know if any games have taken advantage of the possibility yet.

Can I send documents from my PC to my Ipad via iCloud? I am particularly interested in Excel, Word and Access

This forum is for OSX users.
Only within OSX you can store documents in iCloud, basically linked to iWork softwares.
Please check Microsoft Office cloud solutions.

Will icloud work on my imac (without Lion) using a new ipad with icloud

I am ready to buy a new ipad2 and I understand it comes with icloud. Will I my imac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 work with icloud, or will I have to upgrade to Lion?

my imac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 work with icloud, or will I have to upgrade to Lion?
You will have to upgrade to Lion v10.7.2
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements > Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
But you can setup iCloud on your iPad anytime. You do not need to upgrade your Mac to Lion in order to use iCloud on your iPad.

How do I delete email on my iPad with icloud

HHow do I delete my email on the iPad with icloud

Which OS are you using on your iPad?
If it is iOS 7 then slide from right to left on the email then tap delete.

Unable to check-in or refresh iPads with iCloud passwords.

I have 40 iPads and have recently been forced to upgrade to iOS 7 (because the users - students - did so on their own and a lot of issues occurred). I still can't believe that users are allowed to upgrade the OS (essentially the firmware) on loaned-out devices. It's an IT logistics nightmare. What if iOS 7 did what the AppleTV 6 upgrade did?
Anyway, if a user is assigned an iPad and they put their own iCloud account on the device, I am unable to check that device back in to Apple Configurator. I also am unable to successfully back it up or refresh the device.
I've had the student in question delete the iCloud account but if all 40 students did that, I'd be going crazy. Imagine if it were 400 iPads instead of 40?
Is there an easier way to allow students to utilize their own iCloud accounts to backup documents, etc, without requiring them to delete the account before I perform upgrades/mainenance? Is this going to happen every time or is this only happening because she upgraded to iOS 7 on her own?
I've never been so frustrated with Apple as I have with this upgrade to 7. Allowing individual users to upgrade a kiosk device... and then not communicating about the new Configurator... and then FORCING upgrades when preparing new devices... days of work lost and more days to come.

We have had a similar problem as well - inCopy claims that an assignment is checked out, but the user cannot access it to check it back in or make changes.
Did you guys ever figure out a fix?

How can i reset an ipad with icloud that i dont have a password to? iOS7

My Dad bought an iPad 2 from a pawn shop and didnt check it because it was on the set up screen. When he gave it to me as a gift i went through the usial set up process but when i got to the icloud set up screen it asks for a password to someone elses account. And when i connect it to iTunes it tells me "This iPad is currently linked to an Apple ID" so i cant even acess it through itunes.
I would return the iPad but they wont take it back because they say that there is to returns on used items.
Is there anyway that i could link it to my account instead or do anything about it?
I Know that its a iPad 2, 16gb, wifi only, with iOS7. also know the serial # thats on the back if that is needed.

Either the original owner didn't clear the iPad correctly or it was stolen. In either case you will not be able to set it up without the original owners Apple ID and password.

Multiple ipads with icloud accounts share itunes match

Hi,
I've got some iPad / iPhones here in the family which have differend iCloud accounts.
I can't really combine these, as all the members have differend agenda's, email etc.
We always bought music on a family account. Worked just fine with syncing.
Now I've bought iTunes Match, for Apple TV it works, for the macbooks it works, but for the ipad's and iphones I can't seem to enter my family-account into the iCloud details to get it working.
How can I let the ipad/iphones work with iTunes Match, without losing the seperate agenda's, mail, etc.?

Your iCloud account is a separate account to your iTunes store account, just make sure the iTunes account ID you use for the iTunes store is entered correctly in settings > store.
