My pictures and Notes are not syncing between my iPhone 5 and iPad

I have never had my pictures taken with my iPhone 5 sync with my iPad 3rd generation. The TV ads really play-up that this should happen.


Also, a Note typed on my iPad does not "go"over to my iPhone 5.


PLEASE HELP

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6.1.2, Syncing between iPhone 5 and iPad

Make sure that both of these settings are correct.


Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream>On.

Settings>Photos And Camera>My Photo Stream>On.


Any photos that you take with the phone - After you turn on Photo Stream on both Devices - should sync to the iPad. The same would apply to photos taken with the iPad.


Settings>iCloud>Notes>On. You must setup an iCloud email account for this to work. You do not have to use the email account, but the notes will not sync unless you set up the account - or unless you have an IMAP email account that wil sync notes over the air.


Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>Notes>On.
