iCloud

iCloud offers free mail, contacts, calendar, and other features that you can set up simply by signing in to iCloud with your Apple ID, then making sure that the features you want to use are turned on.

Set up iCloud. Go to Settings > iCloud. Create an Apple ID if needed, or use your existing one.

iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts, and more. Content stored in iCloud is pushed wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.

iCloud is available on devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later, and on PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0 (Windows 7 or Windows 8 is required). You can also sign in to iCloud.com from any Mac or PC to access your iCloud information and features like Photos, Find My iPhone, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iWork for iCloud, and more.

Note: iCloud may not be available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by area. For more information, go to www.apple.com/icloud/.

iCloud features include:
