Music that isn’t purchased in iTunes isn't backed up in iCloud. Use iTunes to back up and restore that content. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 17.

Important: Backups for music or TV show purchases are not available in all areas. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

Purchased content, as well as Photo Stream content, doesn't count against your 5 GB of free iCloud storage.

Backing up with iTunes

iTunes creates a backup of photos in your Camera Roll or Saved Photos album, and in text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, and more. Media files, such as songs, and some photos, aren’t backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.

When you connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with, iTunes creates a backup each time you:

ÂÂ Sync with iTunes: iTunes syncs iPod touch each time you connect iPod touch to your computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 17. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPod touch that isn’t configured to sync with that computer.

ÂÂ Update or restore iPod touch: iTunes automatically backs up iPod touch before updating and restoring.

iTunes can also encrypt iPod touch backups to secure your data.

Encrypt iPod touch backups: Select "Encrypt iPod touch backup" in the iTunes Summary screen.

Restore iPod touch files and settings: Connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with, select iPod touch in the iTunes window, and click Restore in the Summary pane.
