Music that isn’t purchased in iTunes isn't backed up in iCloud. You have to use iTunes to back up
and restore that content. See
on page 16.
Important:
Backups for music or TV show purchases are not available in all areas. Previous
purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Purchased content, as well as Photo Stream content, doesn’t count against your 5 GB of free
iCloud storage.
Backing up with iTunes
iTunes creates a backup of photos in your Camera Roll or Saved Photos album, and backups of
text messages, notes, call history, your Favorites list, sound settings, and more. Media files, such as
songs, and some photos, aren’t backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.
When you connect iPhone to the computer you normally sync with, iTunes creates a backup
each time you:
•
Sync with iTunes: iTunes syncs iPhone each time you connect iPhone to your computer. iTunes
won’t automatically back up an iPhone that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. See
on page 16.
•
Update or restore iPhone: iTunes always backs up iPhone before updating and restoring.
iTunes can also encrypt iPhone backups to secure your data.
Encrypt iPhone backups: Select “Encrypt iPhone backup” in the iTunes Summary pane.
Restore iPhone files and settings: Connect iPhone to the computer you normally sync with,
select iPhone in the iTunes window, and click Restore in the Summary pane.
