One of my friends has got a window pc and a ipad, he has downloaded and connected to iCloud. Things will transfer from the ipad to the pc but not the other way round i.e. from pc to ipad. I have looked at his settings and they all seem to be right, what am I missing? Any advice welcome.

A Mac?  Don't know Iain, is the PC set up with the appropriate software? I think there is a download for a PC to enable that end of things. It isn't JUST a matter of logging into the iCloud via the internet. It should just work.

Can we be a bit clearer on this please Iain. What EXACTLY is your friend trying to do? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes. iCloud allows you to share bookmarks, contacts, Calendar entries (appointments) and images (via PhotoStream) it can somehow synchronise your audio library (songs) but it does that by allowing multiple devices to share from the Apple iTunes server, NOT (I believe) by actually transferring the songs via iCloud. What I think you may mean is how do you synchronise the iPad with the PC iTunes library ? Have found this page which probably answers all your questions. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455 And this: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ The screenshot below shows what iCloud can work with on the Mac.

It never ceases to amaze me to how things go in a circle and are always considered 'new'. When I started in computers ,many,many years ago there were few standalone computers due to the expense. One of the answers then was to use terminals such as teletypes to connect with a mainframe server (a cloud) then computers got more reasonably priced and it was best for everyone to have all data and programs resident on their own mainframe. Then timeshare became the norm and then PC's came along. Now we are back to a 'new' invention, 'the cloud'.Sounds like a song that goes 'everything old is new again'. I just have to wonder what magic is next -- Mainframes and terminals,maybe???????????????
