iCloud has me totally stumped and I would greatly appreciate someone's help!!
I had an iphone 4s (16GB), but my husband has it now. He wanted to keep my apps and contacts, so didn't format when he started using it.
My current devices: iphone 4s (32GB), ipad 3 (32 GB), pc w/ Windows 7.
Before ipad 3, synced my phone to itunes only and restored the new phone from a backup.
As an aside, my iphone 3gs had more info than the 16GB iphone 4s, so info, mainly songs, dropped out when I set it up. When I got the 32GB iphone, I had to restore it from a back up of the iphone 3gs, to get all of the missing stuff back.
I set up the ipad as "new". Opted to use iCloud to sync contacts, calendar.
I would like to understand the pros and cons of using iCloud.
I would like to be able to sync calendars, contacts, etc between my iphone and ipad. I would like to keep music and pictures on my iphone only. Or, can someone tell me a reason why I would want them on both devices???
I renamed the iphone 16GB so it would be my "husband's", but I think it is still technically "mine" because it was not reformatted. Does that mean that if I want to sync info between my 32GB iphone and ipad that it will also sync with the 16GB iphone that my husband is now using?? My husband would like the 16GB iphone to have his own info.
I'm afraid I messed it all up, so I have not done anything with the ipad 3 for fear of making a further mess. If someone could help me with all of this, I would really appreciate it!!
