First, this book walks you through installing iCloud on Macs, iOS devices (iPads, iPhones,and iPod touches), and Windows PCs. Then you learn how to work with iCloud apps such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and iWork (Pages for print documents, Keynote for slideshow presentations, and Numbers for spreadsheets), and edit and update content created in all these apps across devices. Apple allows third-party apps to use the feature Documents to the Cloud for saving documents; which are uploaded to the cloud and downloaded to your devices. To see what data and documents are stored on your iCloud account, you can log into iCloud Developer and click on the Documents icon. You also learn how to manage photos with iPhoto and Photo Stream, and iTunes to purchase movies and music, and distribute them throughout all your devices; and do the same with instant messages, notes, and reminders. Entire chapters are devoted to syncing your content with iCloud, and backing up your devices to iCloud; as well as using iCloud with OSX. There is also a chapter on how to use iCloud with Windows.Perhaps one of the coolest things about this book is learning how to use Find My iPhone, which enables you to locate your iOS device on a map if it gets lost or stolen, and configure it on iOS devices. The Mac has a similar service called Find My Mac, which you also learn how to set up and use. I especially liked how there is a section on how to find your Apple devices on a map using Location Services once Find My iPhone or Find My Mac is set up. This section includes information on how to remotely lock your lost device with another device using a four-digit passcode, so if a thief or anyone else picks the lost device up, they will be unable to use it unless they type in this passcode.Another cool thing this book teaches you is how find your friends on a map using Location Services using the app Find Your Friends. You can enable them to be show up on a map permanently, or invite them to show up on a map for a specific time frame. Once this time frame expires, they disappear from the map. For those who feel leery about having their whereabouts monitored, know that if anyone wants to track you either way, they must have your permission first.I found the iCloud Standard Guide informative, detailed, and well written. It makes a very good quick-start book, and I would definitely recommend it to those new to iCloud.

iCloud is Apple’s cloud technology that is designed (and is acting) as a “hub” of all my devices, not only iPad, iPhone but also my Laptop running Windows. With this technology, I can use iCloud-integrated applications on any devices, anywhere and anytime with my data available across all my platforms. But even iCloud is very intuitive and seamlessly integrated, I have figured out that I can do a lot more after reading this book, iCloud Standard Guide.The book comprises 10 chapters of which the first chapter explains the difference between iCloud and other cloud computing services (you will know why the author of this book called iCloud a hub of all digital platforms from this chapter) while other chapters go a little deeper into bits and bytes of iCloud’s core applications – i.e. Mail, Contacts, Calendar, iMessage, Notes, Reminders, iPhoto and iTunes on Apple’s available platforms and Microsoft Windows. It is quite concise and go-to-the-point (I actually read an ebook edition and I think it is about 100-150 pages of the real paper book). And like any other technology books, you will need some hands-on time with your device(s) to hand in order to get yourself quicker understanding.Don’t think iCloud is plain and simple (even though it is). It is really accessible anywhere and anytime even you are roaming somewhere without your own devices. If you are not aware of this, you need this book! If you lose your iPhone and iPad altogether (or forget them somewhere altogether) and you don’t know how you can find them without your own devices, you even really need this book! I can guarantee that it will be valuable to you!
