Carlee,
Thanks so much for your help. I did what you said and things are a whole lot better. Now my iPad calendar shows both items that I have added to the iPad and the items I added on my computer. I haven't had time to really check it out, but it seems to be working now that I synced it in iTunes. But I thought that was the purpose of ios5 and iCloud - so you wouldn't have to hook up to your pc.
Thank goodness we are never to old to learn, though I do get frustrated a lot quicker now.
