The iCloud

With the new iOS 5, Apple has also released the iPhone and other iOS 5 operated devices from the clutches of the iTunes software. This is through making everything easier when it comes to transferring data and storing them.

Hailed as iCloud, this new and incredible storage option will tie almost every piece of data on your iPhone to your Apple account, and backs up your iPhone wirelessly while your phone is locked and linked to a wireless internet connection.

What’s best about the iCloud is that you can access any of your items saved in the iCloud from your other iOS 5 operated devices. Also, if your iPhone breaks down, you have your sweet save point up in the cloud. You lose nothing important. Isn’t that amazing?

Enjoy iCloud

Set up iCloud on your devices.

Documents in the Cloud.

iCloud-enabled apps such as the latest versions of Pages, Keynote, and Numbers for iOS keep documents up to date on all your iOS 5 operated devices.

Use Find My Friends.

24. Get your Free iCloud Account!

Download the free iCloud settings and set up your free iCloud account. Tap your way using this trend: Settings > Mail > Calendars > Add Account > iCloud > Get a free Apple ID. Once you have completed the steps, fill in their form so you can bag an iCloud account you can use for your email, calendars, contacts and backup for your iOS device.

25. Are you almost at your limit?

If you are a heavy data user, you should always check your data storage limit so you can ensure that each and every item you use is backed up. Check your iCloud storage limit status by following the trend: Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup.

26. Running Low

Now, as your free iCloud account updates automatically when you are connected to a wireless internet connection (Wi-Fi), it is not impossible that you will get your free storage to run low. If your space is already limited, you should check if there are items in your account that is unnecessary.

Take a good look at all your content and delete these unnecessary items that eat space. Tap ‘Manage Storage’ and then tap on the names of the apps you want to inspect. The larger files will appear on top of the list; making the load easier.

To delete these items, tap 'Edit', followed by the red bars beside each one. 'Delete' then will appear beside the file names where you should tap to zap them.

27. Goodbye, Pesky Apps!

Of course, data eaters are those that are installed in your system. These data eaters, simply put are the applications which you use (or rarely use) in your iPhone or any other iDevice. These items eat space and prohibit you from backing up some data that is far more important than they are.

Say goodbye to these pesky space offenders by examining them. Audit everything by tapping ‘Manage Storage’ and checking the data storage levels per app.

If there are items which have too large of size which are not commonly used, delete them by holding down their icon on the home screen until they start to shake. Tap the ‘X’ on the icon’s top left corner to eradicate them.

You can now use your limited iCloud space of 5 GB for more important stuff like your documents, photos, videos, other relevant apps and anything that you deem has more significant use.

28. Downgrade Options Available

The iCloud comes in larger sizes once you upgrade to additional storage for a certain price. If you happen to notice that you do not need them at all, or if you are not even using a lot space as you intend to, you can actually reduce it by downgrading.

In some occasions and territories, Apple process refunds for iCloud upgrades. To review the details of your iCloud storage plan, tap your way using the trend: Settings > iCloud > Account > Details of Storage Plan > Downgrade Options.
