iCloud is the simplest way to handle your content.

Access your contacts, notes, camera pictures and more on all your gadgets. Share pictures with your preferred people. Or find a missing iPad, iPhone, Mac, or iPod touch. Whether you encompass one Apple gadget or five, iCloud handles everything. And you hardly have to execute a thing.

With iCloud, everything you select in the App Store, iTunes Store, and iBooks is mechanically accessible on all your gadgets as soon as you hit Download. You can as well access previous downloads from any of your gadgets. And every time you begin something on one gadget, all your other gadgets mechanically keep in mind where you left off.

Backup and restore

You encompass all kinds of vital things on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, like your pictures and videos. iCloud by design backs it up every day over Wi-Fi once your gadget is linked to a power source. You are not obliged to do a thing. And once you set up a novel iOS device or require restoring information on one you by now have, iCloud Backup carries out the heavy lifting. Link your gadget to Wi-Fi and input your Apple ID and password. Your private data — together with your purchased music, apps and movies, and downloaded books — will show on your device, by design.

Storage

Once you sign up for iCloud, you by design receive 5GB of free storage space. Your iCloud storage space is utilized for iCloud Backup, documents and app data stored in iCloud Mail, and iCloud. If you require more storage, you can effortlessly buy an upgrade from your device.

Whether you are on an iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, PC, or Mac, getting started with iCloud is easy. For novel Apple gadgets, there is a setup assistant included. And for the rest, setup takes only one or two quick steps.
