do you use icloud?

[dsurin66]

I just purchased the latest macbook pro with retina and there is the option to open an 'icloud' account.

Do you use icloud? How do you rate it? Is it secure? Do you keep all files, music etc?

Can I save all of my itunes music on icloud? I presume that I still have to sync it in itunes on my laptop ie it cant be played from icloud?

any information is appreciated

thanks

I use iCloud and find it works great for my needs (I'm all Apple). It's secure...they have a 2FA authentication (that I use).

Music is handled a little differently. You have 2 options: iTunes Match and Apple Music.

iTunes Match will match all your existing music and let you play anything from the cloud. You don't have to sync anymore with iTunes once using iTunes Match.

Apple Music is Apple's streaming service like spotify. Access to like 30 million songs are something the cloud to stream or download (for play offline).

Match is like 70 baht a month and Apple Music is like a 199 baht or something a month (really rough estimates on those prices).

Ask Hollywood actresses what they think of iCloud , the Fappening leak , duckduckgo it.

If you take in a team of IT security experts and have full access to review all of the procedures, software, and hardware used by Apple at its data centers and internal networks, and if you were able to understand the resulting report, you might be in a position to say that it is secure. The NSA thought they were secure when they vetted Ed Snowden.

with apple imatch, if your wifi connection is poor then so will be your music when you play back with stopping and starting. Like watching an adult content video where it stops and starts...

apple music seems a bit steap for usd10 per month

Apple = Very good at hadware and OSX IOS absolutely shocking at apps and icloud implimentation.

There is not 1 good Apple app that isnt based around selling more of Apple products or that works all the time.
