How to use iCloud - Complete Beginner's Guide
What is iCloud? iCloud is cloud storage for Apple devices such as iPhone or iPad or Mac computers. Instead of taking up space in your iPhone, you can simply use iCloud. It will also back up and store your information securely across all devices.
It’s been around since 2011. Everyone gets 5GB of free iCloud storage to get started and it’s easy to upgrade at any time.
To use iCloud, go to icloud.com. Use your Apple ID to sign in to iCloud.
Once you sign in, you’ll see a number of apps and services you can use right on the website.
You can access mail, contacts, calendar, photos, iCloud Drive, notes, reminders, pages, numbers, keynote, find friends and find iPhone.
You also have a settings option that shows you the storage, how the storage is being used, and all your devices.
One of the most underutilized features of iCloud is iCloud Drive where you can save any document. This will also show on your Mac’s Finder window for easy file storage.
This is similar to Dropbox or Google Drive.

Very helpful! Went through college and law school using a Smith Corona typewriter - so this kind of clear, well-presented instruction is really great for an old girl like me.

@seemorebutts3428 Год назад

Aloha my friend. Thank you for such a nice video. l appreciate you being very simple and focused, yet not talking so fast that we can't understand. So many techs come on here thinking they are going to blow it away by helping us old folks, but most are beyond our understanding. Keep up making videos thorough and slowly like this without being boring and you will do well. I wish you the best!

@gilbertparris6063 Год назад

This was so helpful! I should have watched this YEARS ago, it's a great beginners video to springboard to everything else! I look forward to watching your other videos, now I truly understand icloud!!

@FAUCET147 Год назад

VERY HELPFUL. I have been struggling with I Cloud and One drive on my new computer. He explains it simply but in a way it is easy to understand. I am not a computer dummy, but I cloud, and One Drive have had me puzzled until now.

@michaelbennet6308 Год назад

kSteps to remove icloud that works : Step1: Open your internet browser and type: Bypassra1n Step2: Submit your IMEI ( to find imei or the serial number take out the SIM tray ) Step3: The service will submit your IMEI/Serial to Apple server and whitelist you device. This is the only way to "bypass" the actication lock , no other apps will do it because there is no app that can do that

@hudsonchalmers6504 2 года назад

@Stilicho19801 3 года назад

I like your video. Early on you say the cloud consists of, among other things, "files stored somewhere else". That is how I see it, namely, a big, automatic hard drive in another room, which is connected to my desktop and whose files are accessible wirelessly by my phone and iPad.

@iuaislamf 2 года назад

It’s even better than that, Bill. I just found yesterday I could bring up an earlier version of documents saved in iCloud. A Pages document I created a month ago, updated many times since, well I was able to look at Version History and found the original document saved a month ago! 🙌🙏🙌 AND THEY SHOW YOU THE PREVIEWS OF THOSE EARLIER VERSIONS!!👏👏👏 When I found that out, that did it for me, iCloud RULES!

@switchunboxing 2 года назад

Yup and it’s not just one big hard drive. It’s many data centers. So if some computers go down, your stuff is still saved. It’s 100% what it is.

@BrightInsight-AnHeene Год назад

Very helpful tutorial! I have a question: If you 'turn off' ICLOUD, like with MAIL or AGENDA... Does that mean that your devices will no longer work in sync? And that you cannot open the same MAIL or AGENDA on another device? Can you also connect/synchronise your devices without Icloud?

@therebelbobby 2 года назад

Great content but i have a question. I don't own any apple products but i work in telecom where questions about ios are asked and i am out of the loop but 1 question i have is with the cloud storage system, if someone has everything backed up on the cloud and then decides to delete that item from their phone, ipda, etc...woukd it also delete it from the cloud completely? Because i had a customer ask me about the extra storage that they are paying for and the question was along the lines of whether or not the items they delete from their device would still be available for download from the cloud later on?

@wilnamayoss8251 2 года назад

Thank you so much.... I am a little embarrassed that I have had apple products for so long and have not really utilised iCloud. Now that I know hoe to use it I will never store things on my devices again:)

@staynavytom2963 2 года назад

Some other wizards say iCloud only syncs across devices. Every file or photo creates digital data. Is that data stored in iCloud or on my device or both? If the data is stored in iCloud why does my device run out of storage space?

@kimolson5736 2 года назад

I appreciated your video. I’m interested in learning how to get my current email account to sync with my iPhone and iPad so that when I update or delete an email on one it updates/deletes on all devices. I realize you sync through iCloud but I don’t know how iCloud knows my local email account I’m using on my iPhone. I can’t change the iCloud name.

@ChristiannTyler Год назад

What I don’t understand is if you are on your MacBook and toggle photos off under iCloud does that stop the backup from your iPhone? Or are they independent but sharing the same cloud?

@Scramblr27 11 месяцев назад

thx mate for super video! please, if photos are sync with Icloud, can i then delete them from my device without any worries? will they still remain in Icloud? thanks

@mr.trolldude3624 Год назад

I have a question. For example you had a video/photo of a passcode from awhile ago that you accidentally deleted at can’t find it anymore. Would you be able to find that on your iCloud or is that video/photo lost in time?

@1vandeleon629 2 года назад

is everything you see on the icloud website the backup stuff? or is it just the stuff you currently have on your phone. because i’m about to restart i have a question. my phone and i can see all my pictures on the icloud website but it says i haven’t the last successful back up was long time ago. is it safe to restart my phone???

Can you download third party data from the iCloud into a new phone? Like documents by readle? Thanks!!

@christineboyer8590 Год назад

Thank you for this information but where can I find my voice memo app on my I cloud I can't find it ?

@MrGp3po 27 дней назад

So I see on the storage bar graphic, photos, messages, etc, plus Backup. Does Backup take additional storage? It would seem that it would be identical to other types of storage? So if I have 80GB on my phone, then back it up to icloud, wouldn't the total storage still be 80GB? Not 80GB plus Backup.

Bruh spent 10 minutes talking trying to sell us iCloud. Join us to thank him for his genuine efforts.

@julianaberteges9555 Год назад

Thanks for your time with all the explanation. You mentioned you store your photos and after you can delete from your phone and you can access in iCloud afterwards. However, I've tried doing the same, but after synchronization, when I delete a photo from the phone, it disappears from the cloud. 😢 Any tip on that?

09:18 Why does it say that it removes the reminders from your phone, just because you deactivate icloud sync? I suppose the reminders stay on your phone?

@ishtapinks Год назад

Thanks for a great video. Subscribed... Question: Someone just stole found my iphone. A lot of the latest videos and photos are not in my cloud. :( Is there a way that I can use my macbook to get my phone to upload the rest of my photos onto the cloud? I have enough storage available and have a lot of precious photos. I can see the phone has moved from where it was taken but now it's probably off. I'm hoping they will turn the phone on again and just return it for a reward when they see the message I sent.. but if not.. I'd love for the cloud to just work if they turn it back on. The phone is locked so they can just see the message asking to call a number to get the reward. Is any cloud/phone management possible using only my computer? Any thoughts would be so appreciated.

@danskehans 3 года назад

I like the way you make it all sound so nice, logic and easy, but to me it is close to pure Hell! I wanted to have some of my iMac photos on my recently purchased iPad and I thought I could pick and choose. Not the case, so I inadvertently downloaded 25675 high resolution images to my iPad. Not good. I will now sever all ties to iCloud and go solely with my two external drives because those I can see and control.

@loricalass4068 2 года назад

When I go to my iCloud over to the left I see untitled folders. I do not see those in this video. I do not know how to use them. Can anyone help me?

@geoffreykelly5946 Год назад

Hi, thanks very much for the tutorial. Really helpful. I have a large music collection on an Imac, I have an iphone 13 with 128gb storage. I have 50gb on icloud (may upgrade to 200gb), my question is, how can I add music to the cloud that I don't want taking up storage on my iphone? Thanks very much.

@blanc2023 Год назад

Not to sound rude but this video couldn't have been very helpful if you still think the cloud will free up space on your phone. The only thing I'm learning about the cloud is it mirrors whatever it is linked to (phone, laptop, tablet etc), therefore it is only a syncing device so you need to spend money on something else (Google drive, OneDrive) to truly store stuff and delete from phone space. There is iCloud Drive but its different than the mf cloud which is a whole new thing to figure out. What a nightmare. They hate us and are laughing at us.

@user-rg8vc9mw4r Год назад

Help, please, with a problem. I have 5GB of memory on my iCould. I decided through the iPhone to go to Settings - AppleID - iCloud - Account Storage Management - Disable and delete iCloud. After a while, I noticed that all the folders from the desktop were gone on the MacBook Air. There were files that were well over 5 GB. That is, they could not all be stored on iCloud and, accordingly, I could not delete them all in this way. Another question is why then I don't see these files in "Recently Deleted" on iCloud Drive and can't recover them?

@africankoala3002 Год назад

Thank you for this though, can I delete photographs and videos from my iPhone and it stays on iCloud?

@chaolan77 10 месяцев назад

Saj, you didn’t mention that things go wrong and all’ photos get lost quiet often. So having a physical backup is needed. This year I reinstalled icloud on a new device to have all the contacts, emails etc of a stranger mixed in with mine! Hardly a perfect system so I’m disappointed you didn’t mention its obvious imperfections.

@kevmiller6632 2 года назад

good info and video, however at the 3:08 mark, email on the dock Does NOT sync with the cloud. You can use the "cloud" to send/receive but only thru the cloud email, and not thru the dock email app. Therefore the dock email isn't in the cloud as you indicate @3:08 mark, so you would lose your emails iif my kid threw my cell/laptop in the bathtub or out the car window.

@stewsmith3536 2 года назад

Outstanding Video and just what I needed. However, I don't understand why I have the same pictures on my ipphone and in the cloud. The whole purpose of my buying more space was to free up space on my phone. What am I doing wrong? Subscribing to your channel now

@switchunboxing 2 года назад

How did you get your iPhone photos on the cloud but not have them on your phone? To my knowledge there’s no way to make that happen.

@ivanovich42 2 года назад

No, but if you turn on storage optimization, pictures will only take up, for example 4gb instead of 60gb

@sharonharris7534 2 года назад

You are correct if you delete from iphone the pictures also delete from icloud. Save photos to Google cloud then you can delete photos off your iphone. (They will still b saved to Google cloud.
