iCloud
iCloud oers 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:
•
Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, and Books: Automatically get iTunes purchases on all your
devices set up with iCloud, or download previous iTunes music and TV show purchases for
free, anytime. With an iTunes Match subscription, all your music, including music you’ve
imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than the iTunes Store, can also be stored
in iCloud and played on demand. See iCloud and iTunes Match on page 69. Download
previous App Store and iBooks Store purchases to iPad for free, anytime.
•
Photos: Use iCloud Photo Library to store all your photos and videos in iCloud, and access
them from any iOS 8.1 device, Mac with OS X Yosemite v10.10.3, and on iCloud.com using the
same Apple ID. Use iCloud Photo Sharing to share photos and videos with just the people you
choose, and let them add photos, videos, and comments. See iCloud Photo Library on page 80.
See iCloud Photo Sharing on page 81.
•
Family Sharing: Up to six family members can share their purchases from the iTunes Store,
App Store, and iBooks Store. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve
kids’ spending right from a parent’s device. Plus, share photos, a family calendar, and more. See
Family Sharing on page 36.
•
iCloud Drive: Safely store your presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and other documents
in iCloud, and access them from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. See About iCloud
Drive on page 38.

across all your devices set up with iCloud.

Mail, Contacts, Calendars: Keep your mail, contacts, calendars, notes, and reminders up to date
across all your devices.
•
Safari Tabs: See the tabs you have open on your other iOS devices and OS X computers. See
Browse the web on page 60.
