Harry, After a bit off futzing around, I now have my calendar and address book syncing via iCloud on my iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro. I found the instructions for moving from MobileMe to iCloud confusing, but finally got it to work.
A few tips: If you have two (or more) Apple IDs — I had two — be sure you pick just one of them to use when setting up iCloud and calendar/address syncing on all devices. I found it easiest to use my iTunes account name and password rather then the one I had set up for my .me account. Disable your MobileMe account after you've set up iCloud on all devices. Be very careful about deleting calendar or contact data when/if you get prompts asking if you want to delete them from either iCloud or your Mac. I made the mistake of answering "yes" to one of those and wiped out all my previously entered calendar data. I found those delete choices very confusing, and I'm still not sure what I did wrong. If you've set up iCloud on two or more devices and find that they aren't syncing, try shutting all of them down and restarting. I pulled my hair out for an hour or two trying to get syncing to work before doing that, and everything started working fine after the restarts. It's a brave new world (again!); all we can do is embrace it and keep our fingers crossed. Dan > Do you have lion on your computer?
