Ok I don't have any apple products but a few friends have iphone and ipad.
a few of them brought me them because they were corrupted or wouldn't start. I read there were some problems with ios 6 update and the update never finishes and gets stuck.
so I plug in with USB and iTunes says the iPod needs to be reformatted or reset to factory specs. It said WARING you will lose everything.
I asked my friends and they said they had it backed up to cloud.
Well we reset, did ios 6 update and it worked this time, but they lost everything. lost there photo, contact, music, you name it.
So I don't think they had the cloud set up right.
I don't use apple so how exactly does the cloud work?
Your stuff is backed up to a server online? so its there forever. i am guessing my friends just sync'd the stuff to their computer and thought it was the cloud?
would you say the cloud is the best way to backup?
thanks
