i purchased icloud on my laptop why wont it share with my ipad?

No idea - this is the iPhoto forum - yo need to ask in the forum for your Mac or in the iCLoud forum

And when yo do providing information beyond "somethign does not work" will greatly improve your chances - neped to knwo the Mac, the OS version and versions of software you are using - error messages and what happens

What did you purchase? You need 10.8.2 running on your laptop and iOS 6 on the iPad or later in order to be able to sync between your devices. What system are you running on your laptop and is your profile correct as far as the iPad 2 is concerned?
