I want to upload my photos on my iPad to the cloud. When I enable icloud photos a message pops up saying "photos and videos synced from finder will be removed" and offers a choice of 'remove photos/videos or cancel. What does this mean.

Those would be photos that you previously synced from a computer. The photos should still be on the computer and you can get them back to the phone after you turn on iCloud Photos by using an internet browser on the computer and manually uploading them to the Photos app at iCloud.com.
