Setup iCloud on Windows computer with iCloud Control Panel for Windows

Speed Up My PC

iCloud is a new cloud service from Apple that will allow you to store all your music, photos, documents, etc, and wirelessly pushes them to all your devices. Every new iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch now comes with iOS 5 – all ready for iCloud.

If you own an iOS 5 device and would like to sync and store your data using iCloud, using your Windows computer, you will have to sign up for an iCloud account and use iCloud Control Panel for Windows.

To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.2. When you sign up for iCloud, you automatically get 5GB of free storage.

Apple has made available iCloud Control Panel for Windows, which you can download and install on your Windows PC.

Using the iCloud Control Panel will require Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later, and Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later, to be installed on your Windows 7 or your Windows Vista computer.

If you own an iOS 5 device and would like to sync and store your data using iCloud, you can download iCloud Control Panel for Windows from Apple.

    I have installed iCloud on my Windows 7 PC. In order to “turn it on” I’m supposed to go to control panel/network and internet/icloud … I do not see “Network and Internet” in the control panel. There’s only “Internet Options” and “Network and Sharing Center”, neither of which shows “iCloud” … Please help. How to I turn on iCloud.

    Forget downloading iCloud Control Panel on a PC. It will not accept your iTunes Apple Account as valid – you must own an apple product to create an iCloud Account. Talk about holding you by the goolies!
