With a new iPad, I’d be faced with removing the data from my existing iPad and I am concerned that it could, through the iCloud connection, remove it from places where I want to keep it….like my iMac. That is, if iCloud decides all the machines should be the same.

For me, iCloud has not been a big priority. I don’t store data, photos, et cetera and I will have to admit I didn’t paid close attention when setting things up. just want it to keep things like Contacts or Calendars up to date. I also use Mail on my iPad.

The results have been pretty much hit or miss. For example, my Calendars may or may not update on my iPad. So, I figure, if I’m to get a new iPad, I should take the opportunity to get iCloud sorted out, as if starting from scratch. Any thoughts on approach?


These are my iCloud selections now:

iMac

Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Notes
Find My Mac

iPad

Contacts
Calendars
Notes
Home
iCloud Drive

iPhone 6

Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Notes
Safari
Health
Siri
Keychain
Find My Phone
