Is there a difference between iCloud storage and ICloud backup? I mean, if I have 20GB of music on my iPhone, transferred from iTunes on my PC, and I do an ICloud backup, doesn't that mean I need 20+ GB of iCloud storage space? But I think iCloud only gives 2GB or 5GB of free storage space without a fee.
Or is iCloud backup considered distinct from iCloud storage, as it's only useful for restoring a device, and not for accessing specific elements from a large storage pool of independent elements, so there's no fee for storing a backup? Thanks. Still trying to get my brain around all this stuff.

Everything you have on your phone should then be copied to your iPad.

Today, I backed up my phone to this iCloud account. I know I can't use iCloud with sl but I will be getting an iPad mini for Christmas. How can I get the apps and things that are on my phone onto the iPad using iCloud? Thanks, Stacey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
