by 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 with our new iCloud Starter Guide.
iCloud does a lot of amazing things: It keeps your mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, and notes in sync among your various computers and iOS devices. 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.
This book collects all the material we’ve written in the last year on Apple’s sync service, and we hope it will help you get to know iCloud and learn how best to use it in your life. We explain what services actually make up iCloud and go into detail on each one. We help you set it up, and offer tips to make the most of your free 5GB of storage. And we go over what you get with Apple’s free iTunes in the Cloud functionality as well as $25-a-year iTunes Match service—and whether you should sign up for it.
