7. • iCloud stores your music, photos, documents, and more and wirelessly
pushes them to all your devices. Automatic, effortless, and seamless.
• iCloud is so much more than a hard drive in the sky. It makes it quick and
effortless to access just about everything on the devices you use every
day.

available to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. It gives you access
to your music, apps, latest photos, and more from whichever device you

devices. No syncing required. No management required. In fact, no
anything required. iCloud does it all for you.

8. • iCloud stores your content. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV
shows, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free
storage. Since your mail, documents, Camera Roll, account
information, settings, and other app data don’t use as much space, you’ll
find that 5GB goes a long way. And if you need more storage, you can
easily purchase a storage upgrade right from your device.
• Every new iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch comes with iOS 5. And every new
Mac comes with OS X Lion. Which means the new Apple devices you
purchase are all ready for iCloud, right out of the box.

steps before all your important stuff is up to date on
youriPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and PC.

15. • 4. Create shortcuts of files that belong in more than one place. For
example if you have some files that deal with work and school, or web
design and finances. So, create a shortcut to these files in the other
folder(s). This saves me a ton of time from clicking and looking for files. To
create shortcuts, right click on a folder or file and press “Create Shortcut”.
Drag the shortcut to the other folder. Or, you can click on the shortcut to
select it and click “move”. Go through the file hierarchy and select the
appropriate folder for your shortcut.
• 5. Periodically clean everything out! Every month, delete or backup to an
external hard drive the files that you no longer need. This will make the
second step – a disk cleanup and disk defragment – go more smoothly.
The longer you wait between your housecleaning, the longer it will take –
so do it more often!
