One of the most important features of iCloud is the ability to sync, backup, and restore.

Over the years, Apple has added more and more layers onto the iCloud service. It integrates with iMessage, makes photos more accessible than ever with iCloud Photo Library, and even lets us share purchases with loved ones via Family Sharing. However, for the mass majority of people out there, its the convenience of being able to get a new device and instantly have access to all our apps, calendars, contacts, and media in a few taps that makes iCloud stand out from other services. Like magic, everything is exactly as we left it on our old iPhone or iPad.

If you’re just setting up your first iPhone or iPad with iCloud, we can walk you through everything you need to know. And if you’re a seasoned pro, pass this guide along to your friends and family members who could use some help understanding the basics of syncing, restoring, and backing up with iCloud!

How to set up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch as new

If you just got your hands on a brand new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and you’ve never owned one before, you’ll want to set it up as new. You’ll be asked during the process if you’d like to set up a new iCloud, or Apple ID, and we highly suggest you do. This is what you’ll use to get started with your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. While the process is simple and straight forward, we can walk you through if you need some help!

How to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from an iCloud backup

If you’ve got a brand new device, or you had to restore yours for some reason, perhaps a technical issue, you’ll most likely want to bring down your iCloud backup. So this time, instead of setting your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch up as new, you’ll want to select the restore from backup option during your initial setup. If you aren’t exactly sure where that option is and you want to make sure you don’t miss it, follow our guide for step by step instructions!

What iCloud storage plan should you get?

iCloud can store a lot more than just your backups if you want it to. You can use iCloud Photo Library to store all your photos and free up precious device storage if you want. You also may need to upgrade your storage plan if you have multiple iOS devices connected to one account and you find your backups becoming too large. If you aren’t sure what iCloud storage plan is right for you, we can help you decide!

How to enable iCloud backup on iPhone and iPad

If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that you’re actively using but you’ve never set up iCloud backups before, you can easily enable them within the Settings app. You just have to know where to look. Once enabled, iCloud will back up your device at least once every 24 hours or so as long as you are plugged in and connected to WiFi. For most of us, this will happen at night while you’re sleeping and your device is charging.

If you aren’t sure where to look in order to enable iCloud backups for the first time, we can walk you through.

How to manually trigger an iCloud backup

If you’re switching devices or have to wipe your existing device for some reason, it’s a very good idea to create an iCloud backup beforehand. While iCloud backs up on its own every 24 hours or so, you may have received texts, iMessages, or even taken some new photos since that last backup. Triggering one manually will ensure that your backup is the most current and contains everything on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch before wiping it.

How to manage your iCloud backups

Apple gives you a few options when it comes to managing your iCloud backups. First, you can pick and choose what you actually want to be saved in your iCloud backups. That means you can decide not to backup photos or certain types of data in certain apps. If you want to preserve iCloud storage, this isn’t a bad idea. You can also delete old iCloud backups out of your account, which is a great way to free up some extra storage if you’re running low. If you aren’t sure how to do either of these things, check out our guides for a little extra help.

How to sync calendars, contacts, photos, and more with iCloud

Just like you can pick and choose what kinds of things get backed up to iCloud, you can also pick and choose what data gets synced to iCloud too. This includes things such as your calendars, contacts, photos, bookmarks, and much more. These are all synced live, which means if you add a new contact on your iPad, it should automatically be there on your iPhone, on the web, and on any Mac you have linked to your iCloud account. The same goes for many other kinds of data that iCloud offers live syncing for. If you don’t like all of what iCloud syncing has to offer, you can choose what services to enable, and what to leave off. If you have a shared device in your home, these settings are ones you’ll definitely want to look over.

How to wipe all your personal data off an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you ever decide its time to upgrade or get rid of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you’ll want to make sure you clear all your personal data off of it, including your iCloud account. If you aren’t quite sure how to go about making sure your data is completely removed, we can walk you through from beginning to end. You’ll definitely want to complete this process before selling or handing a device down to someone else.

With the ever-growing number of apps and games in the Windows Store, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with what’s out there.

For that reason, every Friday we showcase some apps that have piqued our interest. They may have been in the news recently, they may be new to the Windows Store, or they could simply be old apps that we just stumbled upon.

They are the 5 Intriguing Apps of the Week.

Finding the right case for your Moto X can be tricky.

There may be a few reasons for this. First, the first Moto X was the first true Motorola flagship in a few years and casemakers weren’t quite sure it’d do well enough to warrant making a case for it. Second, because of Moto Maker’s customization of the phones, casemakers might have feared that users would forgo cases that would hide their design.

This year, things are different. The Moto X (2014) isn’t an unknown. The Moto X (2014) is a phone people are starting to recognize. It is a phone that many are turning to in lieu of a Nexus they feel is simply too big. It has been here for months, and yet, compared to phones like Samsung’s Galaxy line, case selection can be a little sparse.

Here are the best of the bunch.

There’s a lot going on in the world of Windows Phone. So much, in fact, that it is sometimes tough to catch every important story. Device rumors come and go. New apps join the Windows Phone Store and your favorite app can get a big update with a new look or new features. Therefore, every week we will compile a list of the Windows Phone news that you just shouldn’t miss.

Welcome to the “Windows Phone Weekly Digest.”

A lot can happen in a week. Seven days might not seem like much, but it can be an eternity in the tech news cycle. Between Windows news, hardware and software developments and Microsoft’s fast-paced movements throughout the technology landscape, it’s never easy to keep your hand on the pulse of technology. Not to mention everything that’s going on right here at Windows Central!

Every week we’re going to compile the biggest stories into one post, so you never fall behind – In Case You Missed It (ICYMI).

Live Interior 3D Pro is a useful app for Windows 8 devices for homeowners planning to renovating their home or planning improvements and professional Interior Designers trying to bridge the gap between ideas and visualization.

I’ve written about the app before when I first discovered it, but the app has come a long way since then. There’s a Light Editor dialog that helps create and control light sources and Type & Representation dialog for setting object type, origin, as well as adjusting 2D and 3D representations. There are several more small but nifty additions as well.

As we established during yesterday’s rollout of the latest Windows 10 preview for phones, there’s first an update to Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 to take place on phones that haven’t been running the first build. Unfortunately, after the Update 2 finished installing for many there was no onward route to Windows 10. Now, according to Microsoft’s Gabe Aul, things should be fixed and back to normal.
