Still haven’t figured out was iCloud is good for (stream, work)

So I finally upgraded to Yosemite and set up an iCloud account. Now what? I can’t share my music library it seems. Same with my iPhoto. Have no idea how Mail even enters into the picture. There are various pay options which I am not interested in. I have an iPhone and iCloud is turned on but once again I am not sure where to go from there.

That's it. Sharing, automatic syncing across your devices. There's nothing more to it.

But it is not happening. I see nothing on iCloud.

Go to settings on your phone and choose icloud. There you can set things up. For example, you can choose photos and then turn on photo stream. Any new pictures will be save to icloud. You can access photostream on your iphoto on the Mac. Other things like keynote, or pages, or other apps, and be set up similarly.

I cloud enables me to get pictures and video of my grandson.

iCloud is just a revenue stream for Apple. Start using it and you will run out of the free space they give you in 6 months, or so. Then Apple will let you know: "Hey! For $25 we can give you more space! or $50!"

NOT a big fan of iCloud...

But really... some times you just need to go to the source:

I subscribe to I tunes match (an apple cloud service) $25 / year and my entire (huge) library is available at anytime.

I ised to use iCloud for graphci design work, but the adobe CreativeCloud system is easier to use and more efficient

I haven't run out of space on icloud yet. I also have dropbox and other cloud services to use if I do.
