Hi Paul,
It threw me off for a bit as well. I had used the Airport Utility on my
iPad, but I hadn't expected the Mac interface or the Airport Utility for
Windows to change. However, once you hit enter on your device or, on a mac,
interact with the scroll area, you will find things as they should be, just in
a different interface.
With iCloud, in theory, it's supposed to work as it did with Back to My
Mac with MobileMe, from my understanding. I have a Time Capsule and an
external USB drive connected, so I really am curious to see how this will work
for seeing the volumes when I am not home. You do need to leave the computer
on at home, I think, but I am trying to learn all of this myself as well.
Take Care
