Using iCloud

iCloud stores your content, including music, photos, contacts, calendars, and supported documents. Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers set up with the same iCloud account.

iCloud is available on iOS devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later, and on PCs with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows Vista Service Pack 2 or Windows 7 required).

iCloud features include:

iTunes in the Cloud—Download previous iTunes music and TV show purchases to iPad for free, anytime.

Apps and Books—Download previous App Store and iBookstore purchases for free, anytime.

Photo Stream—Photos you take on one device appear automatically on all your devices. See Photo Stream on page 57.

Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date across all your devices.

Mail, Contacts, Calendars—Keep your mail contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date across all your devices.

Backup—Back up iPad to iCloud automatically when connected to power and Wi-Fi. See Backing up with iCloud on page 128.

Find My Friends—Keep track of your family and friends (when connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network) using the Find My Friends app. Download the free app from the App Store.

iTunes Match—With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes, appears on all your devices and can be downloaded and played on demand. See iTunes Match on page 81.

iCloud Tabs—See the webpages you have open on your other iOS devices or computers with OS X Mountain Lion or later installed. See Chapter 5, Safari, on page 41.

With iCloud, you get a free mail account and 5 GB of storage for your mail, documents, and backups. Your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against your free space.
