iCloud Tutorials and Podcasts

Hello All, Wonder if anyone knows about some resources for tutorials &/or podcasts about setting up & using iCloud. I have a PC, running Windows 7 & iTunes 11.1. I understand it's necessary to download & install an iCloud "dashboard" to the PC & then set it up to use & maintain iCloud on the PC & my iPhone. I have an iPhone 4S, running IOS7 with the latest 7.02 update. I've checked out some You Tube "videos", but they all seem to be geared toward a sighted person. Since I'm visually impaired, I find the presentations confusing and not as helpful as I'd like them to be. I haven't found any podcasts with a "walk thru" on setting up, using & maintaining iCloud on both the PC & iPhone. So I'd really appreciate it if anyone could provide some links & resources on the subject. And if anyone in the Applevis community is planning to produce &/or is producing a podcast on using iCloud, I'd love to know when it would be available. Thanks, Adam

The only podcast I see reguarding iCloud is setting it up on the mac. How ever you can set it up on windows you can install it by using the apple software update feature to download the iCloud control panel. Next you will probably have to sign in to iCloud to access you're contacts and locate you're phone on a map.

I'd also like to know if anybody has done a walkthrough of iCloud Mail and how to set it up with VO. I'm starting to experience some email issues, and I'd like to try it out to see what I think. I've talked with some sighted friends, and that is what they say. Either iCloud Mail or set up a gmail account separate from my work email account, which would require solving an inaccessible CAPTCHA. I really don't want to do that if I don't have to.

At least on iOS and the Mac, it's really simple to set up iCloud mail. On iOS devices, go to Settings, then iCloud, then turn on Mail. On a Mac, go to System Preferences, then iCloud, then turn on Mail. You will need to create an email address the first time you do this, but that's about it.

I'm not sure about Windows, however.
