iCloud
iCloud is a free service you subscribe to that stores your content—mail, contacts, calendars,
reminders, bookmarks, notes, photos, and documents—and wirelessly pushes it to your iOS
devices and computers, automatically keeping everything up to date.
iCloud provides these features:
 Automatic Downloads: Automatically download new music, app, and book purchases to
your devices.
 Download Previous Purchases: View previous iTunes Store and App Store purchases and
download them again if needed.
 Photo Stream: When you take a photo on one device, automatically get it on your other
devices. See “Photo Stream” on page 53 .
 Documents & Data: Store documents and data for apps that work with iCloud.
 Find My iPod: Locate your iPod touch on a map, display a message, play a sound, lock the
screen, or remotely wipe the data. See “Find My iPod” on page 33.
You can also back up iPod touch to iCloud. See “Backing up with iCloud ” on page 137.
With iCloud, you get a free mail account and 5 GB of storage. Your purchased music, apps, and
books don’t count against your free space.
