Description
iCloud does a lot of amazing things: It keeps your mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, and notes in sync. It instantly (almost magically) copies that photo you took of your cousin on your iPhone to your Mac, iPad mini, and laptop. It lets you work with your Macs from afar. It helps you find stranded and wayward devices, and lets you know when your friends are nearby. And it does it all for free.
iCloud encompasses so very many different features and fun bits that it’s surprising to realize just how much you can do with a free account. Let Macworld's editors help you get the most out of it. We designed this book to introduce you to iCloud: what it's made of, how to set up an account, and some best practices for backing up your devices.
This book focuses on OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion), Windows 8, iOS 6, and iTunes 11—but we still have some helpful hints for those users with older operating systems. We hope that you enjoy our Mini Guide, but, even more important, that you enjoy iCloud and find ways to incorporate it into your daily routine.

Too Basic

4By MarvloveappleA good book it’sDecent Overview
4By SuddyzThis book provided a basic overview of iCloud. I think it went to far into describing iCloud and its services. I guess I was expecting a tutorial book as opposed to a this is what iCloud is book.Pagos

5By davebwcoI liked the ease which I was able to find answers to questions I had about setting up my iCloud account. Also, how useful the use of the cloud to backup, store and retrieve my data.Good read, but dated
3By 9235SI’d give it 5 stars if it was brought up to date. This seems to 6 or 7 years old...which is an eternity in the iPhone world.I don’t know
