i<strong>Cloud</strong> Apple ID<br />

<strong>Cloud</strong> <strong>Fundamentals</strong><br />

A set of four icons will appear on the page. Three of<br />

these icons represent Pages, Keynote and Numbers.<br />

Pages is a word processor. Keynote is a presentation<br />

application. Numbers is a spreadsheet application.<br />

The fourth icon is the settings icon for your account.<br />

Apple will send a verification number to the email<br />

used to create the account. Don’t leave this page,<br />

you’ll need to come back to it in a moment. Open a<br />

new tab or browser window. Go over to your email<br />

and get this number. Type the number into the provided<br />

fields and click the ‘verify’ button.<br />

Click on the ‘agree’ button to the license agreement.<br />

After clicking the ‘agree’ button you will be<br />

prompted to select your language. Select your language<br />

and click the ‘Start Using i<strong>Cloud</strong>’ link.<br />

At this point we’ve created an Apple ID and have<br />

access to the i<strong>Cloud</strong> services for Pages, Keynote and<br />

Numbers. We need to setup i<strong>Cloud</strong> Drive, which is<br />

a separate service. The service is available for both<br />

Apple and Windows computers. You get 5 gigabytes<br />

of storage for free with the option to purchase more<br />

storage.<br />

To setup the i<strong>Cloud</strong> Drive, you need to have an iOS<br />

device like an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. If you<br />

try to setup i<strong>Cloud</strong> Drive on an Apple or Windows<br />

computer you will receive an error message.<br />
