Hi Jenga, I understand your questions regarding icloud. I, too, had the same questions as well.
I am not sure if you checked the icloud forum--it is under the Forums/ipad help/icloud.

Perhaps this thread may help you get started:

Getting Photos From iCloud

I hope that this helps you. I realize that may not be exactly what you are asking, but this may give you some insight.

Good luck!

Thank you so much for your respond. iCloud still doesn't work, but maybee i'll survive without iCloud for now.

Since Photo Stream only works with pictures when they are taken or imported on to a device/computer, you would have to be adding those pictures to some program on the computer. I don't have Windows, so I have no idea of there is such a program for Windows. On the Mac the current versions of iPhoto and Aperture can do this. I have it turned off; because I don't want my next 500 picture camera import showing up on the iPad.

At any rate. iCloud is not for moving/syncing pictures between devices. It's for making newly taken pictures available on all devices.

Apple gave great/patient support as we methodically went through each step, escalation to new levels as their knowledgebase dictated. One of the last suggestions was that I disable my McAfee virus protection. No help. They would get back to me...

Upon reinstalling McAfee I ran a scan and found virus infections that were unresolved. Deep breath. Time to clean slate. End of story. iCloud now works like a champ. Just saying, it's worth a check.

Wishing the contacts could sync with my Yahoo. Oh well.

On the phone three hours w Apple. Never did that w Microsoft.
