How to access the cloud on an iPhone and which cloud storage service to choose. You need iCloud and what is cloud storage. Understanding the functionality
The entire Apple population of the planet associated this week with the developer conference held by Apple in San Francisco. The most interesting, as always, was the beginning of the week, which was marked by the presentation of new Apple products. These included new versions of desktop and mobile operating systems Apple, now called OS X Lion and iOS 5, respectively, and a new service called iCloud.
So what is iCloud? Does it have any differences from the MobileMe we are used to? How much will it cost and why is it needed at all? We will answer all these and many other questions that arose after the presentation of iCloud on the Internet. Perhaps some of these questions are bothering you too.
What is iCloud?
iCloud is the name given by Apple to several services that provide synchronization services for various types of information between devices running iOS, Mac computers and PCs.
Isn't this the same as MobileMe?
Yes and no. iCloud offers the same features as MobileMe and more. Subsequently, the number of services may increase.
What does the advent of iCloud mean for MobileMe?
MobileMe will cease to exist on June 30, 2012, but in the meantime it will continue to operate as before, without charging any additional fees. We will describe it in a little more detail below.
What does iCloud offer?
Like MobileMe, iCloud can sync your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and Safari tabs between iOS devices and computers. In addition, iCloud provides additional storage space for documents, photos and synchronizes music between devices. Don’t forget about wireless synchronization of iOS devices via Wi-Fi.
Will iCloud store and back up all the information I need?
Not really. According to Apple, iCloud will sync documents created using Pages, Numbers or Keynote and third-party applications adapted to work with iCloud. Surely some Mac and iOS developers will take the new service into circulation, but there will also be those who will offer the use of old services like Dropbox for their applications. Therefore, users should be careful, because iCloud is not intended for remote storage of absolutely any information. There are other services for this.
How much data will I be able to store in iCloud?
5 gigabytes. This volume is enough to accommodate all your email accounts and information on them, various documents and backups. We’ll talk about purchased music, applications and books below.
What if I need more space? Will I be able to expand the storage?
Apparently you can. But you'll have to pay for it. In the current beta version of iOS 5, in the iCloud settings section there is a column “Buy additional space”, which implies the purchase of additional gigabytes to the already existing five. We dare to assume that many users will quickly exhaust the allotted limit and will want to expand their storage at an appropriate cost. Dropbox storage offers users 2 GB for free. Upgrading space costs $10 per month for 50 GB and $20 per month for 100 GB. Apple may choose a similar pricing policy.
How is iCloud different from Dropbox and SugarSync?
Unlike Dropbox and SugarSync, which are similar in functionality, offering storage and synchronization of files and folders from your computer, iCloud is more designed to work with applications. So it doesn’t matter where exactly you save this or that document - it will be synchronized with iCloud. On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. iCloud will not allow you to synchronize a document created in an application that is not adapted for use by the service.
What about photographs?
iCloud includes a feature called Photo Stream that automatically syncs all the photos you take with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch and automatically adds them to a special album in iPhoto. These photos can be stored in the cloud for only 30 days. You'll be able to view and, in some cases, download photos to your iOS devices, computers, and even Apple TV. The number of synchronized photos on iOS devices is limited to a thousand pieces due to size. On computers, any number of photos can be synchronized. Since iPhoto doesn't exist for Windows computers, you can point to any folder on your PC's hard drive and sync all your photos to it. The contents of this folder will be your cloud photo library.
Only 1000 photos? What about all the other photos?
iCloud stores and syncs the last 1,000 photos from your device. This does not mean that all previous photos will be deleted or lost in some way. At the presentation, Apple said that all other photos not saved in the memory of iOS devices will be permanently stored in iPhoto on a Mac or a user-specified folder on a Windows computer.
What music features will iCloud have?
The cloud division of iTunes, based on the iCloud service, offers manual downloading of all previously purchased music tracks from the iTunes Store, as well as automatic downloading of all new purchases to all computers and iOS devices authorized under one iTunes Store account. If you purchased music in the older 128 kbps AAC format from the iTunes Store, iTunes can automatically replace it with the newer 256 kbps AAC format for 30 cents per song. If songs you previously purchased are no longer available in the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download them again.
Currently, music streaming via iCloud is not available, which means that in order to listen to a particular song or album, you will first need to download it to your device. For iOS devices, the main limitation will be the storage capacity.
What will happen to my music that was not purchased from the iTunes Store?
For this case, Apple has provided an original solution. It will introduce a feature called iTunes Match, which will analyze your entire iTunes library and match all your music tracks with those already available in the iTunes Store. You will be able to access your media library from any iOS device and computer connected to your Apple ID. This feature will cost $25 per year and will compare favorably with similar services offered by Amazon and Google, which require all content to be pre-loaded onto their servers to be accessible from any device.
Also unlike Google Music Beta and Amazon Cloud Drive, iTunes Match will replace low-bitrate music tracks with higher-quality 256 kbps DRM-free AAC from the iTunes Store. For those songs that are not in the iTunes Store (Apple said that its store has 19 million songs), manual uploading to Apple servers via iCloud is provided.
Apple says you'll be able to store up to 25,000 songs, including those replaced from using iTunes Match and personally uploaded songs. Music purchased from the iTunes Store is not included in this count.
For those whose iTunes library is extremely large, there is no clear solution for storing and synchronizing all the music. Additionally, there's no word yet on what will happen when you stop paying your annual iTunes Match subscription. In this case, there is an assumption that some of the capabilities of iCloud, like some other cloud services, will cease to function.
If I don't pay for the service for the next year, will I lose all of my non-iTunes music purchases synced to the service?
This is not known now. It's safe to assume that if you don't renew your payment, you may lose access to these songs on iCloud. Hence, you will not be able to download these songs to your devices remotely. We'll assume that these songs will remain on your computer, but access to them in iCloud will be suspended.
Will this service work with other files purchased from the iTunes Store?
Yes. You can configure your iOS devices to automatically download applications purchased from the App Store and books purchased from the iBookstore.
What about the rest of the content from the iTunes Store? What about movies and podcasts?
It looks like the cloud version of iTunes currently only works with music, apps, and books. Other content, such as TV shows, movies, podcasts and content from iTunes U, will not be able to be placed in the cloud yet. In the case of films, TV shows and series, this may be due to insufficient Internet bandwidth or the lack of appropriate agreements with studios and rights holders of films, series and shows. However, we are looking forward to supporting a variety of content for iCloud in the future.
Can I use iCloud to backup my iOS devices?
One of the main functions of iCloud is the automatic creation of backups for all types of iOS devices. According to Apple, iCloud will back up all data on the device every day, but only when your device is connected to power and Wi-Fi. Not all data will be copied, but only songs, applications, books purchased from iTunes, as well as a folder with photographs (photos and videos captured by the device’s camera), settings and various data of applications installed on the device, the location of icons on desktops and in folders, text and MMS messages, ringtones. If you're purchasing a new device, Apple says all you need to do to transfer all previously synced data is just sign in with your Apple ID. Everything is as simple as using a wire.
Will I be able to use iCloud to sync settings and other data between my Macs?
Apart from various data, such as the already mentioned photos and music and information in iCloud-compatible applications, Apple did not mention anything. But we believe it's just a matter of time. By the time iCloud is ready to go, we'll probably be able to sync system settings and maybe even session logins between Macs.
I have several Apple IDs, an iTunes account with applications and music purchased on it, and a family MobileMe for email. What does the advent of iCloud mean for me?
It is not yet known exactly how Apple plans to handle multiple accounts. However, it's worth remembering the current beta of iOS 5, which has an iCloud settings menu that is separate from the iTunes Store settings. This menu contains synchronization of mail, contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, Photo Stream and Find My iPad, as well as data storage and backup settings. Store settings take into account purchased music and applications. So you might be able to use one Apple ID to buy music and various iCloud-compatible content, and other IDs for the rest of your data.
Will I be able to combine my iTunes and MobileMe accounts into one? Or change my Apple ID and keep the music and apps I purchased with it?
Apple hasn't said anything about how Apple IDs might be handled. Considering their increasing importance, there should not be any problems with this. In any case, it would be nice if Apple allowed users to change, merge, or even separate accounts.
If I had a registered email account with MobileMe, but the trial period or me.com account expired, will I be able to expect it to be restored when iCloud launches?
It's likely that if you signed up for one of these services at some point, you may be able to reactivate your accounts once iCloud launches. We cannot say for sure, so we are still waiting for the official launch of the service.
Can I play music directly from iCloud, or do I have to download it to the device first?
You can only listen to parts of recordings before purchasing them from the iTunes Store, but you won't be able to stream them in their entirety.
Will I be able to use individual mail or does it have to be me.com mail?
You'll be able to use any email account, but as for iCloud email, it will most likely be based entirely on me.com.
Will iCloud be fully or partially accessible from the browser?
We don't know for sure yet, but we assume that you will be able to view your mail, calendars and contacts from the browser, just like you did with MobileMe. The part of iCloud that requires iTunes (music, apps, books) will most likely work with your Apple ID and iTunes. As for photos, we can assume that they will be just as accessible from your browser window as contacts, calendars, etc.
I have several music albums that I copied from a friend. How will iTunes Match determine which files are not infringing and can be uploaded to iCloud?
The question of how iCloud will or will not interact with pirated music will most likely remain a secret for us. We're guessing that if you try to match some songs purchased from someone else's Apple ID, iCloud won't work with them, determining that you're not eligible to use them. Since these music tracks will be assigned information about the account that purchased them, they will be fairly easy to identify. For music that has been illegally downloaded from the Internet, it is possible that Apple will be able to identify songs in every way possible to determine their characteristics, which may indicate the source of the download. On the other hand, the $25 a year that users will pay for iTunes Match will, to some extent, compensate for the authors' losses due to piracy.
Will applications be deleted using iCloud from all devices after deleting on one?
There is no data yet indicating that applications can be removed from all devices if they are deleted from one. And this is good, because it is unlikely to please those who use your Apple ID besides you.
Can I choose which items on my device sync to iCloud and which I don't?
iCloud settings on all iOS devices include enabling or disabling synchronization of Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Notes, Photo Stream, Find My iPad, and Backup on each individual device.
What about those who strive to store all their data locally?
It looks like Apple is ready to abandon all devices for the sake of the cloud. Now storing data in the cloud will become a priority not because other companies have begun to implement similar technologies, but because Apple has done it. If you don't agree with Cupertino's decision, it looks like iCloud and similar cloud services are simply not made for you.
What happens to the data when I delete the game and reinstall it? Will all records in the game be saved and restored?
It is likely that all such data will be synchronized with the cloud, just like the applications themselves, so you can install Angry Birds pause on your iPhone and continue playing on your iPad.
Will I need latest version iPhoto on my Mac to use Photo Stream? After all, Windows users will not have to incur additional costs to use Photo Stream.
Yes. If you want to use the Photo Stream service, you will have to update iPhoto on your Mac to version 11. It will cost $15.
Will iCloud eat into my data plan? Or does it only work over Wi-Fi?
It looks like iCloud is consciously focused on using Wi-Fi. This is evidenced by the impossibility of creating backup copies of your device's data without a Wi-Fi connection. But some functions of the service will be sufficient to work via a cellular network, so to a small extent they will use the capabilities of your mobile operator. Users with limited data plans will have to reconsider their iCloud plans.
Most of my music is on non-iOS iPods. How does my iPod fit into iCloud?
The iCloud service requires an Internet connection. This explains that the list of devices interacting with iCloud is limited only to iOS devices. After all, the entire line of iPods, with the exception of the iPod Touch, does not have the ability to connect to the Internet, and therefore is not included in the ecosystem of the new iCloud service.
How much will iCloud cost?
Almost all services of the new service will be absolutely free. The only thing you'll have to pay for is the iTunes Match service, which costs $25 per year.
When will iCloud launch?
At the moment, the service is already working, but it is only available to users from the USA. It is currently in beta testing, so there may be some instability in the service. The full launch of the service is scheduled for autumn.
Will iCloud work with all iOS devices and all Macs?
Using iCloud requires that you have installed iOS 5 on your device. iOS 5 is supported on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, third and fourth generation iPod Touch, and both generations of iPad. To run the service on Mac, you will need OS X Lion and iTunes 10.3 or later. As for Windows users, they will need Windows Vista or Windows 7 and iTunes 10.3 or higher.
I am a MobileMe user. What should I do?
You will be able to, so to speak, convert your MobileMe account to one on the iCloud service when the latter is officially launched. An email was sent to all MobileMe users with instructions on what to do next. The letter states that Apple will notify all MobileMe users about next steps once the iCloud service is launched. The current MobileMe will operate until June 30, 2012.
Can I expect a refund?
If you purchased the boxed version of MobileMe and still haven't activated it, you can expect a refund. On its website, Apple has posted relevant documentation with recommendations describing the process of restoring funds. You can also request a refund for unused MobileMe time.
What will happen to the address? Email? Will it remain @me.com or will it be changed to something else?
According to the same email sent by Apple to all MobileMe users, when you sign up for iCloud, you'll be able to save your MobileMe email address. A user authorized in iCloud has full rights to use an email address ending in @me.com.
What will happen to the rest of MobileMe's features: Galleries, iDisk, Backup, Back To My Mac and ?
Nothing is known about this yet. When Apple talked about the future of MobileMe and iCloud, none of these features, let alone syncing apps in the Dock, settings and notes, were mentioned. As mentioned above, iCloud will offer users 5GB of free storage, which is significantly less than the current 20GB offered by MobileMe. As for Find My iPhone, earlier this year Apple made the feature free for all users by creating a dedicated app for it and releasing it on the App Store. A recent update to the app suggests that Apple will still need it, so we expect this feature to remain.
What about iWeb?
Apple hasn't paid much attention to iWeb over the past few years. We assume that iWeb will disappear from the next version of iLife and Apple-supported web hosting as we now know it will be a thing of the past.
What are the implications of iCloud for the Time Capsule?
Cloud data storage is attractive for many reasons. One of these reasons is that all your data is safe from local incidents. Theft, breakdown, all kinds of emergencies or natural disasters cannot cause the loss of your data. Negative factor is a reduced speed of working with content due to the low speed of Internet connection in some areas. It makes sense to store your most important documents in the cloud, the loss of which could cost you big problems. But as for backing up your entire media library, the cloud is not yet The best decision. For this, however, it is better to use Time Capsule or some other storage of large amounts of information.
Why is Apple doing this?
When at the WWDC ’11 presentation Steve Jobs talked about iCloud, he said that Apple would downgrade the computer to simple device, like an iPad or iPhone. Over time, your Mac or PC will no longer be the central repository of all your data, around which all your devices require synchronization. Now this function will be entrusted to the cloud. Considering that today ordinary users have not only several computers, but also several mobile devices, such as iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, this solution is becoming increasingly relevant. Coordinating information between all devices used has become a completely normal practice. The main “promise” of iCloud is that synchronizing data and all information will “just work”. Just enter your Apple ID on all the devices you use and iCloud will do its best to deliver the latest updates to all your devices. this moment information.
Of course, money can also be a reason. Apple has millions of paying accounts in the iTunes Store, and if even a small portion of them use the iTunes Match service, this will be quite a good income for Apple, even taking into account the fact that Apple will have to share part of this income with record labels. And there is always the opportunity to add new, paid services to existing iCloud services. For example, streaming music, why not make money?
The result of all this may be the following picture: Apple continues to improve its ecosystem of devices, in which each individual device is a small information world, which will now be combined with other worlds and turn into one big planet. Apple makes it even more attractive and makes us even more attached to it and purchase more and more devices with the apple logo.
Still have questions? Ask.
Today I want to talk about how to use iCloud. For those who don’t know, iCloud is from Apple. It includes not only file storage, but also functions for synchronizing notes, calendar, contacts and files, as well as the ability to store for later or painless migration to new phone. With all this, you need to remember that the capabilities of this service are available not only on the iPhone, but also on other Apple devices. We will touch on this and many other aspects in this article.
Registration
The first thing you need to do in the question of how to use iCloud is to register an account in this service. It's likely that the first time you turned on your iPhone, you already created an AppleID account—a single account for all Apple services. However, here I want to talk about the registration process through the company’s website:
- Open any Internet browser.
- We go to the web portal dedicated to the Apple ID: appleid.apple.com.
- On the page that opens, click “Create an Apple ID” and go through the standard registration procedure, indicating the user’s name and other details.
Once your account has been created, you can start using the services provided.
Before registering, make sure you have not created this account before. If you made purchases from your phone in the AppStore (or simply installed free apps from the store), then you already have a user account.
Login from browser
Since we started covering this topic by registering an account through a browser, we’ll do the first one through it, because how can you use iCloud storage if you don’t log into it first? So we need:
- Open browser.
- Type “icloud.com” in the address bar.
- Press the “Enter” key and wait for the page to load.
- Enter the information from the created account into the login form.
- Click on the button with the arrow.
Connecting a service on your phone
The next thing that logically needs to be sorted out is how to use iCloud on the iPhone. By default, the service is always enabled, but to make sure this is true, or to enable it (if it is disabled), you need to:
- Open phone settings.
- Go to the "iCloud" section.
- Enable cloud functionality and activate required applications, included in its composition, with the corresponding switches.
Important! In the same menu, settings related to the automatic synchronization of certain content between your devices connected to the same Apple account will be available. Naturally, do not forget to log in to your phone using the account you created.
All other actions related to downloading updated content, transferring contacts, etc. will be performed automatically by the system, which is undoubtedly very convenient.
In conclusion, I would like to answer the eternal question of many inexperienced users: how much does it cost to use iCloud. Initially, the service is provided free of charge - all functionality is available to you, but the cloud storage size is only 5GB. If you need to increase the amount of allocated space, then this can be done for a certain amount, a list of which can be found on the website icloud.com (read about how to clear iCloud storage).
Every year, Apple pleases us with new gadgets, special devices and interesting services. They can be used equally comfortably by both a beginner and a long-time fan of the brand. The company pays Special attention synchronization and interaction between your devices, adding new services to the market and updating old ones.
One of these products is iCloud (iCloud): what it is, how to work with it, and why it is attractive, we will look at it in this article.
iCloud for iPhone
The company introduced iCloud as a cloud service that allows quick synchronization with a computer, iPhone and iPod. For the average user, this application primarily provides the most convenient interaction between all Apple devices.
No matter what gadget "iCloud" is running on, it is always available current version all applications, contacts and any documents. Among other things, the user who has created an account in the iCloud cloud service has the opportunity to restore all of his data if it has been lost or there is a need for a complete transfer from device to device.
Also, one of the additional advantages of the service is its own iCloud mail, located in the same i-cloud. It is worth noting that Apple's email service has always been distinguished by its simplicity, convenience, indispensability and lack of advertising.
Main features of the service
Let's try to sort through all the advantages of the service that the average user of Apple gadgets is interested in and, in fact, answer the question: “ICloud - what is it?”
iTunes
The service automatically downloads purchased applications, books or music. Synchronizes and, if necessary, restores all data on previously purchased products.
Access and keys
If a user is working on an iPhone and then decides to continue working, say, on a computer, then the service will automatically synchronize, restore and absolutely “painlessly” continue the entire user process on a PC or any other Apple device.
In addition, the service will relieve you of the need to keep all the passwords and logins of your application accounts at hand, allowing you to quickly access them through the global cloud "ICloud". Let's look at what kind of global cloud this is below.
Photo
For the average amateur photographer, taking pictures with an iPhone is much easier than carrying around a bulky camera, especially since the camera of a modern iPhone allows you to take high-quality photos, sometimes not even inferior to those on professional equipment.
If there is a need to transfer a photo from a smartphone to a computer, gadget, or simply restore it, then the iCloud global cloud comes to the rescue. It automatically uploads photos to your photo stream and transfers them to all devices that you have synchronized with the i-cloud. Here you are limited to only 1000 photos, and then there is no need for any additional manipulations: log in to your account - and your photos are already with you.
Documentation
Sometimes it happens that you urgently need to restore or download your work documents or any other data to your iOS device, but you don’t have iTunes or a third-party application at hand. But, having an iCloud account, you can easily deliver all your data where you need it, just open the iWork service.
iCloud users are always calm about their data; if anything happens to them, the global cloud will always restore all lost information at any time and at any time.
Global cloud "ICloud". What is it and how does it work?
After a user has registered with the iCloud service, he receives 5 GB of space in the global cloud for free. If necessary, free place can be increased for an additional fee.
All devices the user works with are automatically synchronized with the i-cloud, while saving all data in backup copies. Now you don’t need to use third-party applications to recover the files you need, they can be easily found. "iCloud" will restore any of your information with ease.
The cloud stores the following data:
- basic gadget settings;
- location and set of icons;
- SMS and iMessage;
- videos, books and music;
- everything that was captured by the device’s camera - video and photos.
iCloud mail
After registering in the system, the user can not only set up a calendar, notes, bookmarks, etc., but also create his own mailbox, the advantages of which over other similar services are very obvious:
- the mail service is completely free of advertising;
- notifications about a new letter from other accounts (push) are sent to your email instantly;
- virtual mailboxes and flexible “alias” settings.
All information related to your letters in one way or another also passes through the synchronization system and interacts with the global i-cloud.
Account
Let's look at some of the nuances of registering with the service and how to do it in general terms.
In order to load the web interface from a personal computer, you need to enter your personal Apple-ID in the request field, and after a couple of seconds you will already be in the main menu, where all the items for further work will be available to you: synchronization, recovery, working with documents , passwords, tracking your gadgets and a lot of other useful things.
Here you can configure options in the i-cloud and get acquainted with the other nuances of your account, including how to remove iCloud if such a need suddenly arises.
All the data you provided during registration will be immediately available in all services connected to the global cloud, so you will not need to enter or fill out anything additional when you use i-applications.
Among other things, the i-cloud allows you to track all your devices, wherever they are, which can also be configured in menu items both for all and for individual gadgets that you or your child use (an extremely irreplaceable thing in cases of loss or device theft).
If you forgot your password or your iCloud account was locked for security reasons, you can restore it in a few minutes on the technical support page. We reset it, change the old password to a new one and continue to enjoy iCloud.
What is iCloud? A convenient service for storing data or an attempt by Apple to interest the buyer? Find out how to use it and you will answer this question.
