Workshops Provide Tips

Workshops are available for free from the Apple retail stores.

Look at their sites for schedules.

The Advanced iPad workshop and the iCloud workshop provided a number of useful tips:

iCloud provides storage for files and pushes them to your device with free 5GB (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/)

   New photos are stored for 30 days

   Install on PC by search for iCloud for Windows (XP doesn’t support it).

   Word processing documents in iCloud require Pages app ($10).

    Documents are not shared with other people, but calendars can be.

   Mail will be per an added me.com address.
