    You have to set-up iCloud from within iTunes. I updated iTunes to 5, then did the iPhone iOS5 update, then updated OSX Lion. On reboot and relaunch of iTunes it prompted me to set-up iCloud. After set-up , re-sync your device and iCloud will work just fine.

    Running windows 7, have installed iCloud Control Panel but cannot sign in - keep getting the message: "You can't sign in because of a server error". I have tried turning off the firewall, but no change. What am I missing? No problem logging in to iCloud over the web. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated - it's been 5 days of trying.

    Be sure you've signed on for iCloud services first from a Lion/iOS 5 device

    I had my ipad stolen recently and thought that I was saved as it was in my icloud account, whilst waiting for the thief to switch it on so that i could locate it it either disappeared from the device list itself or i acciodently clicked on the cross. Either way it has disappeared and unless someone knows of a way to recover then it looks like my beloved Ipad is lost forever

    I downloaded iCloud, synced my phone, and now I do not have my photos or my music/videos available. They appear as light gray type and I cannot access them in the phone. Any ideas?
