Apple ID
Your Apple ID is the account you use for just about everything you do with
Apple, including storing your content in iCloud, downloading apps from the
App Store, streaming Apple Music content, and buying music, movies, and TV
shows from the iTunes Store.
If you already have an Apple ID, use it when you first set up iPad, and whenever
you need to sign in to use an Apple service. If you don’t already have an
Apple ID, you can create one whenever you’re asked to sign in. You only need
one Apple ID for everything you do with Apple.
For more information, see appleid.apple.com.
iCloud
iCloud offers free mail, contacts, calendar, and other features that you can set
up simply by signing in to iCloud with your Apple ID, then making sure that the
features you want to use are turned on.
Set up iCloud.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Create an Apple ID if needed, or use your existing one.
iCloud stores your photos and videos, documents, music, calendars, contacts,
News favorites and saved stories, and more. Content stored in iCloud is pushed
wirelessly to your other iOS devices and computers signed in to iCloud with the
same Apple ID.
iCloud is available on devices with iOS 5 or later, on Mac computers with
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later, and on PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0 (Windows 7
or Windows 8 is required). You can also sign in to iCloud.com from any Mac or
PC to access your iCloud information and features like Photos, Find My iPhone,
Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iWork for iCloud, and more.
Note: iCloud may not be available in all areas, and iCloud features may vary by
area. For more information, go to www.apple.com/icloud/.
iCloud features include:
Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, and Books: Automatically get iTunes
purchases on all your devices set up with iCloud, or download previous
iTunes music and TV show purchases for free, anytime. With an iTunes Match
subscription, all your music, including music you imported from CDs or
purchased somewhere other than the iTunes Store, can also be stored in
iCloud and played on demand. With an Apple Music membership, any music
you added from Apple Music is accessible from iPad. See Apple Music.
