iCloud Starter Guide
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.

Within these, we'll take you on a tour of the device's exterior and basic features, and walk you through how to activate a brand new iPhone. Discover how to get connected over cellular data or Wi-Fi, and how to share your connection. We'll also teach you some basic gestures for navigating through apps and home screens, downloading your first third-party app, and connecting to Apple's iCloud service. And we devote an entire chapter to customizing your settings, covering every submenu and toggle.
If it's installed apps you want to know about, our Superguide covers them all: Read our in-depth how-tos on working with your mail, navigating with Maps, surfing Safari, chatting with Messages, and more. We also offer a basic guide for syncing your device and your media with iTunes.
If you run into trouble, never fear: Macworld's own Christopher Breen authors a very special chapter on troubleshooting basic iPhone 5 problems and maladies, as well as tips on when to go to the experts.
And in case you're stumped on how to best outfit your device, we provide suggestions for great iPhone 5 cases, headphones, speakers, and more.

About This Superguide:
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. 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. 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 Starter Guide, but, even more important, that you enjoy iCloud and find ways to incorporate it into your daily routine.
