Lesson 12. Using iCloud to Sync Other Information

In this lesson, you learn how to include bookmarks, notes, and reminders in your syncs so you can share these items on all your devices.

Understanding Other Sync Options

In the previous lessons, you learned about the “more important” sync options, which include email, calendars, and contacts. In this lesson, you learn about other sync options that are also useful. These include the following:

• Reminders (called tasks in Outlook). Reminders (tasks) can be just about anything you want to be reminded about. You can enter the text for a reminder and then configure how, where, and when you want to be reminded about the “thing.” Of course reminders can be for tasks that you need to do and are just as useful, if not more useful, for general information, such as something you want to remember. On iOS devices, you use the Reminders app; on Macs, manage reminders in iCal; and on Windows PCs, manage reminders (tasks) in Outlook.
