GVS complained of problems after switching her iPad to iCloud. Here is a suggestion of one possible course of action that I would try on my own device if I were experiencing the same problem. As is, no warranty..and is given under the assumption that there was a successful backup of the iPad to iTunes prior to the upgrade to iOS 5.
***Please note: This SHOULD take the iPad BACK to data and settings it had prior to the iOS upgrade. Any new data generated on the iPad since that backup WILL BE LOST. The iOS upgrade should still be in place.
1. On iPad: Settings: General: Reset: Erase All Content and Settings (***Hence the importance of the warning note above).
2. The iPad is now like a new iOS 5 iPad out of the box.
3. Proceed through the iOS 5 setup as you did before until...
4. You get to "Set Up iPad"...then choose "Restore from iTunes Backup".
5. At this point you will be directed to plug your iPad into your computer via the USB cable.
6. iTunes should open up and offer you the opportunity to Restore from the backup of: <name of your iPad>
7. The iPad should now have the settings and data that were on the device when that last backup to iTunes was made.
