ipad/iphone to Icloud

[Garrycor]

Hey

I am new here and I guess this issue has been around for a long time now. However, I have just upgraded 2 Macs to Icloud and wanted to upgrade my Iphone4 and Ipad 1. I have IOS5.1.1 and Itunes 10.6. I plug my ipad into the Mac, but nothing happens. Alas, Apple have not been helpful with this issue.

Anyone got any ideas as to why it will not work? Would be grateful to receive some hints.

I'm not sure what your iTunes problem is, but you don't need iTunes to use iCloud.

Instead you set it up in Settings > iCloud on your devices and in System Preferences > iCloud on the iMacs.

Here is more info on setting up and using iCloud.
