YOU CAN GET TO your iCloud mail, calendars, contacts, and more through just about any Internet-connected computer. Being able to get to your iCloud data through the Web is great for those times when you don’t have access to it through your home computer or iPod Touch—like when you’re on your office PC, or on the road without electronics.

To see your iCloud mail, for example, just grab a web browser and go to www.icloud.com. Type in your iCloud user name and password to see your In box on the Web. (If you had an old MobileMe or .Mac account, you can see your messages from those, too, providing you converted your old account to an iCloud account at Apple’s persistent prompting.)

As shown below, the main dashboard on the iCloud site also offers clickable icons for your contacts and calendars—both of which you can update here and have those changes show up on your Touch and computer back home. And although it’s called Find My iPhone on the site, click the radar-screen icon to log in and locate the whereabouts of a missing Touch (see Set Up an iCloud Account).
