Using iCloud to transfer to a new iPad

i need to transfer from an old iPad 3 to a new one. I backed up my iPad using 40 gig of memory to iCloud. I have 55 gig memory on iCloud yet it shows that I only used about 6 gig of iCloud memory. This tells me that my iPad isn't fully backed up. Any suggestions?

Hi steve,
The following items are not backed up to iCloud. You can sync these items with a computer using iTunes:
Music, movies and TV shows not purchased from the iTunes Store
Podcasts and audio books
Photos that were originally synced from your computer
Every Apple and Communities support article that I have seen concerning setting up a new device with a previous devices' information recommends that you back up the old device to iTunes, and then Restore the new device to get it set up.
Via iTunes, it is two steps. Doing via iCloud involves several steps. Seems like the iTunes route is the easiest and cleanest....
Just my opinion.

I am currently running OS X 10.5.8 on my MacBook (early 2008) and want to know if I can upgrade to a version that will allow me to use iCloud to sync with my new iPad?

I believe to use iCloud you need to run at least Lion (10.7). (Only the Find My iPhone or Find My Mac parts of iCloud work with OS earlier than 10.7/Lion).
I think you can run Lion but you should check each of the following:
"To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion"
You have a Core 2 Duo. You can upgrade to 10.6 and then install Lion, or use the thumb drive approach mentioned above (thumb drive Lion costs about $70 I think). You need to check your RAM to see if you have enough.
Folks have reported that 4 GB RAM is really a minimum for a decent experience with Lion.
For Mountain Lion, see this ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444 ) for what you need to have to install OS 10.8. I don't think you can use Mountain Lion (10.8) with your early 2008 Macbook.

Can I use icloud to transfer music purchased on my iphone to my PC with icloud?

I'm just wondering if I can use icloud to transfer purchases (music) made from itunes on my iphone to my PC? I know that if I turn on icloud with my other Apple devices it will sync to them & I believe I have icloud on my PC. But I'm not even sure if it works like that...to automatically put them on my PC when I buy music on my iphone. So I'm just wondering if it's possible & if it is- how do I do it? I DO have icloud on my iphone & it is updated.

Step 1. Open iTunes on the computer.
Step 2. Click Store and choose Authorize This Computer… from its drop-down menu.
Step 3. Enter the Apple ID and password that you have used to purchase the music.
Step 4. Connect your iPad air to the computer.
Step 5. Go to DEVICES and right click your iPad air. In the drop-down menu, click Transfer Purchases.
Step 6. Wait until the transfer is complete.

How to Transfer Music from iPhone to Computer
If you purchased music with multiple Apple IDs, you have to authorize the computer for all of them. However, you're allowed to authorize up to 5 computers with one Apple ID. That means you have to look for other methods when you have already authorized 5 computers.

How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad. On my account it says ID is only for 1 system. I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

I purchased an upgrade to my one note app. How can I get that to transfer to my new iPad?

I purchased an upgrade for my OneNote app, how do I get that to transfer to my new iPad? I downloaded the app but the upgrade is not loaded on this new iPad.

One way is to open the App Store on your iPad and click the "Updates" link in the lower right. You should see OneNote there with a clickable "Download" button. Click the button and wait for the download and install to complete.

HT4929 can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?

Can I use iCloud to transfer (sync) between iPhone 4G (OS 5) and a MBP runnibg 10.6.8?...or must I upgrade to 10.7? Most contacts are on my iPhone from my former WIN machine running Outlook.

iOS 5 is for your iPhone. 10.7.2 or later, Lion, is for the computer. You can upgrade by clicking on the App Store icon in the Dock or Applications folder. Sign in with your Apple ID and password. Locate the Lion installer application. Purchase and download - $30.00.

Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

Can I use iPhone apps. On my new iPad without buying them again?

Yes you can (unless they are apps that require the iPhone's full phone capability - I have some apps on my iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch
If they are designed just for the iPhone/iPod Touch then they will just take up that sized portion of the screen. There will be a '2x' button on the screen, but that effectively just doubles the size of each pixel in both directions, so it may then appear pixelated.

I used to have iPhone and iPad long time which all my photos where in iCloud then I bought a new iPad last year and I could not get my previous photos what can I do to get them back

I Used to have all my photos in my iPad and iPhone long time ago and then I bought a new iPad last year but I never get my previous photos again what can I do please help me

Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days and your iCloud back only remains on iCloud for 180 days. If you're looking for photos from last year I'm afraid they wouldn't be in iCloud at this point. Unless you have another backup on your computer or they are still on one of your other devices they're gone now.

How do I save everything on my apps and transfer to a new iPad?

Need help!! I want to get a new iPad but need to transfer all the info on my current iPad apps (e.g. goodreader, keynote, etc). How can I do it without losing anything/everything? How can I also ensure that my iPad is "empty" before I give away?
Separate inquiry...because many of us use this iPad, Is there also a way to transfer the information we have under one iTunes account into another?
Thank you for your help!

First, sync and backup the ipad to both itunes on a computer and icloud if possible. You can restore the new ipad from the old ipad backup. You can download any previously purchased and downloaded account by signing into the account used to access the content and download again from the 'purchased' tab on your ipad.

The following has information on transferring to a new device: Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
As noted in that you can sync using iTunes to transfer apps.
If you only want the apps and don't want to sync you can open the App Store app, tap on Purchased at the bottom, and download previously purchased apps.
