Apparently vm is fine. I don't have iCloud set up, it scares me marginally more than iTunes with regard to loss and salvation of my data. Posts on list suggest its use is paramount. Should I set up iCloud before install? Is its use necessary? If I set it up, any tips for not losing everything from Mac, iPhone and iPad!?
