Nacho, how did you fill your space up so quickly?

Only thing I'm syncing is bookmarks and reminders

Not sure I want/need photostream, and I'd rather 'own' my backups (locally to iTunes).

It looks like I have 3.5 GB from my camera roll, 216MB from Fragger Maps (??!) 185 MB from VLC documents (one xvid file) and a hundred or so MB from other various apps. I just did the default settings and didn't mess with anything. I care about absolutely none of that stuff so I'll probably delete them. I guess this is gonna take some getting used to. I really just want it to back up all of my settings and progress on games and crap like that.

unless I am missing something the music streaming thing sucks ass. You cant use the Music app, you have to go to the iTunes app, go under purchased music, and pick them there? So if you have songs on your actual device you use one app (Music), and if you want to stream music from your iCloud account you have to use another (iTunes) and you cant do any combination of songs for a playlist or shuffle that is made up of the two types of music sources (device based and cloud based).

Or am I missing something?

Yeah. It's not streaming. It's an iTunes replacement, so you still have to manually put songs onto your device before playing them.

Sucks.

^^Sounds like a good app idea to profit off of.

Still can't migrate two Libraries (macbook and iMac).

Another OLD tip: Don't sync your iPhone with one computer with all of your apps on it (iMac) then sync it with another computer. You will lose all of your apps.
