MINIM’s ICloud A cloud storage and cloud computing service from Apple INC launched on October 12, 2011. It allows users to store data such as music and IOS Applications on IOS Based Operating system for download multiple devices. The service also allows users to wirelessly backup their iOS devices to iCloud instead of using iTunes. Features: The cloud-based system allows users to store music, photos, applications, documents, bookmarks, remainders, backups, notes, iBook, and contacts, and provides a platform for Apple’s email servers and calendars. Third party iOS and OSX app developers are able to implement iCloud functionality in their apps through the iCloud API. Backup and restore: ICloud allows users to back up the settings and data on iOS devices running iOS 5 or later. Data backed up includes photos and videos in the camera roll, device settings, application data, messages (IMessage, SMS, and MMS), ringtones, and visual voicemails. Backups occur daily when the device is locked and connected to Wi-Fi and a power source. Email, Contacts, and calendars: AS with MobileMe (and Mac and iTools before it), an iCloud account includes an email account. Unlike MobileMe and its previous iterations, an email address is an optional part of an iCloud account, in that the user can choose not to use it but can still use the email as their iCloud Apple ID. The email account can be accessed using any standard IMAP-compatible email client as well as the web portal mail client on iCloud.com. Additionally, on an iOS device, iCloud email is push-enabled. Users converting existing MobileMe accounts to iCloud accounts kept their existing “@me.com” email addresses. As with the MAC to MobileMe transition, existing users get to beep their old addresses and also get a matching new iCloud.com addresses, so messages sent to a valid account with multiple addresses all end up in the same inbox. System requirement: iCloud requires an iOS device running iOS 5.X or later, or a Mac running OSX 10.7.2”Lion” or later, to create a new account. Synchronizing with a PC requires Windows VISTA (Service pack 2) or Windows 7 using iCloud control panel, optionally outlook 2007 or later to sync calendar, contacts and Remainders, and optionally Internet Explorer 8 or later or Safari 5.1.1 or later to sync Bookmarks. Advantages: • Unlimited storage capability. • Stor ing in iCloud which can be accessed by any computer with use of internet. • We can store ringtones, text messages, applications, music, photos and videos. • The biggest advantage of iCloud is that you can update any media in one device and other device that sync the saved on this virtual cloud. Disadvantages: • One of the biggest concerns about iCloud is security and privacy. • Users cannot upload their data to third party service. • Any purchase of CD songs and tracks via iTunes would not be send to iCloud. • To add these things should be paid as early sum. - J Pavithra.
