Before you begin
Download QuicKey. Mac veterans all know how great Startly’s QuicKeys was for Mac OS X, and QuicKey for Chrome is a little piece of that nostalgia. You’ll get an application switcher, real-time. To set up iCloud on a Mac, you'll need to have the latest version of Mac OS X Lion or Mac OS X Mountain Lion. You'll also need to make sure you're using iTunes 10.5 or higher. If you want to use iCloud Photo Sharing with your computer, you'll need either iPhoto 9.2 or Aperture 3.2 (which you can purchase from the Mac App Store).
- Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest iOS or iPadOS, and your Mac to the latest macOS.
- Set up iCloud on all of your devices.
- Make sure that you’re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
- If you have a Windows PC, update to Windows 7 or later and download iCloud for Windows.
If you have a device that can't update to the latest iOS or macOS, see the minimum system requirements to use iCloud Drive.
