I’d like to back up my Mac to iCloud. How do I sync iCloud on my Mac, iPhone, and iPad? How do I do that?
These are common Mac requests our Apple techs get all the time.
Here’s how to set up iCloud with Mountain Lion and your iPhone / iPad devices:
- On your Mac, go to System Preferences and log in with your Apple ID.
- Enable all of the services, i.e. Find My Mac, Photo Stream.
- On your iPhone and iPad, go to Settings->iCloud and make sure your account and services are the same as on your Mac.
That’s it. Apple experts need not apply here. Just 3 easy steps and your stuff is all synced up and backed up online.
