On a new Mac Mini Server and will be installing Lion 10.7.4 ( non server) new. Don't need the server and my HD is all fragmented from other stuff etc. Anyway since most people are using iCloud what is the best way to go about restoring Bookmarks, Notes and Mail etc? I've got everything including iPhoto Library backed up to an external drive ready to copy back to the fresh install so I'm only worried about the above basic settings. Just go ahead and install then when I enter in my iCloud Apple ID again everything will sync to my new HD? How do I know the new clean HD won't erase the Cloud data that's on my iDevices etc?
