restore your iPad2 to empty first

I did restore my iPad2 from my iPhone backup and was able to get iCal, Address Book ....... everything.

It was my first plug-in for iPad2. So, I think you can do it when your iPad is empty with totally nothing with it.

You can restore a backup on a device anytime, just right click on the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".

In your case, I think the backup was not created or restored properly, just backup again your iPhone (and delete the previous backup) and restore again.

look for iTune > preference > devices

another question: how can I pass my iphone contacts and calendar entries to the mac address book and ical ?

at info page while you sync your iPhone with iTune(where the iTune is stored in a MacBook), you may select to update from your iPhone info to Mac.

Or, you may choice to sync from mobileme.com, then restore sync info from mobileme to over-write your Mac.
