iCloud - A step by step guide for new users

by David Oneal

iCloud is Apple's brand new solution to keeping all of your Apple devices in sync.

Here's Everything You Need To Know About Using iCloud On Your iPhone And Mac
Whether its emails on your iPhone, documents on your Mac, or photos on your iPad, iCloud aims to make sure any changes you make on one device instantly appear on another.

Lastly, iCloud gives you 5GB of free storage in the cloud to store email, documents, app data, and settings as well. You can of course buy more storage from Apple, and since even the smallest iPhone is 8gb, almost everyone must buy more storage.
iCloud backups happen while you're sleeping when your devices are connected to Wi-Fi, so you don't even have to worry about it. The best thing is, if you loose your device, break it, or if it gets stolen, iCloud will bring everything back, just like it was before, on your new device. (I’ve had it happen and it works!)
iCloud is not only for playing around. When it comes to getting work done iCloud can be a big help. All the amazing documents and presentations you create on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch can easily be kept up to date across all your iOS devices. You don’t have to save your work or transfer your files because your data — with all your most recent updates — automatically appears on all your devices. iCloud is already configured into Apple iOS apps such as Keynote, Pages, and Numbers. It also works with other iCloud-enabled applications. You can create a spreadsheet on your iPad and make edits on your iPhone. Listen to music on your iPod touch and finish on your iPad at home.

It sounds simple, but there are some tricks, tips, and even some surprises that we share with you in this all new book on iCloud for iPhone, your Mac, and iPad

• Set up iCloud
