HT4436 Is iCloud free for the iPhone?

I just bought the iPhone 4s and it went through all of the steps for setting up iCloud and i have done that. But I am just wondering if it is only a free trial and if I'll be charged for it at some point on my bill?

iCloud is free and customers are provided with 5 GB of cloud storage. If your require more space, you can upgrade to a larger (paid) storage plan for your iCloud account.

IS ICLOUD FREE FOR IPHONE?

iCloud is free and includes 5 GBs of free storage. More storage can be purchased.

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Is there an iCloud Drive app for the iPhone?

Is there an iCloud Drive app for the iPhone? I have a 5c that's running 8.0.2.
I was able to install iCloud Drive on my pc. I placed some files out there and would like to view them on my iPhone but I can't seem to find the iCloud Drive app in the app store.
There appears to be an iCloud Drive app according to the pictures here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/icloud-drive/.
Is the app not available yet?

I've had an android phone since they first came out. Verizon took forever to get the iphone and by the time they did, I was so used to having a phone with a big screen and was already on a 4g device and I didn't want to take a step back to 3g and a smaller screen so I never gave apple a try. I recently sold my android phone in preparation for the next android phone release and I broke my temporary phone trying to it's replace it's cracked glass (something that's much easier to do on an iphone btw) so I had to find another temp phone. With the release of the iphone 6/6+ and everyone going so crazy about it, I decided to borrow a friend's old 5c for a month to see what all the hype was about when it comes to iphones while I wait for my android phone to come in. So far I can honestly say aside from a few things here and there, I haven't really felt like there's much of a difference to warrant the flame wars that I see on android vs apple. Some things work better on iOS for sure but there are some things I'm used to doing on android that I can't do on iOS. I really like it's overall simplistic feeling. The people on the far left and far right in terms of apple over android or android over apple and their arguments are pretty comical to me now that I've had some exposure to both.
Anyway in terms of the iCloud drive, from everything I've read it looks like it'll be identical to Google Drive which I've been using for years but without an app, it's definitely confusing on how I get to my documents and photos that I've stored on my iCloud Drive. With android, before the app I could go to the desktop site for google drive and access my documents. When I try to go to icloud drive from safari on my phone, it automatically takes me to "set up icloud tutorial" even though it's already set up on my phone. I'm happy to find that I'm not the only one that's confused by apple's description of the implementation and what's actually implemented.
I still have a few weeks before I get my android, but I'd be lying if said I haven't considered cancelling my preorder of the note 4 and grabbing a 6+ to give an iphone more than a months trial. I mean in the end, people buy iphone's like candy so it's not like I'd be stuck if I end up ultimately not liking it.
Thanks for your responses, hopefully they implement it's full functionality while I still have time to decide one way or another.

Can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

can you have two separate icloud accounts for two iphones that sync with the same imac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes and no.
There is no issues at all if you use two user accounts on the mac, each can sync with one of the accounts.
If you are using a single user account, you can add the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars and you can then sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders from the second account, but not documents and data, back to my mac or photostream.

HT204053 I have different iCloud IDs for my iPhone &Mac and I have 5GB on each, if I decide to use only 1 ID for both, can I have 10GB or will I be limited to 5 since it's 1 iCloud ID.

I have different iCloud IDs for my iPhone &Mac and I have 5GB on each, if I decide to use only 1 ID for both, can I have 10GB or will I be limited to 5 since it's 1 iCloud ID. I am afraid that if I I use only 1 iCloud ID for both of them I will be limited to only 5GB which is small a nd I don't have money to be paying annually for extra GB. Thanks and waiting for your replies.

The free 5GB allowance is per account, not per device.
If you back up to iTunes, 5 GB should be more than enough for the average user.

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?
I know there is the promotion to trade in for a free iPhone 6, but will Verizon take a cracked phone?
I would hope at the least to still get a discount if not a straight up trade.
Appreciate any info if anyone knows.

You can get an appraisal for your phone here https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/home.php5
I think to get the best price towards an iPhone 6 you have to have the appraisal submitted and new phone ordered by tomorrow (9/30/14) You buy the new phone on contract price then they email you a Verizon gift card after they receive your phone and make the final decisions on how much to give you. (Suppose to take 2 weeks after mailing old phone in)

"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone....An unknown error occurred (-23)." What should I do?

i have the same problem:
I have an iphone 4s and I have been trying for months to update my phone from iOS 6.1.3 to the new one.
I recently got a new computer (my old harddrive crashed and will not work at all) and I just now copied all my music and photos to the computer.
Now I have been trying to update to the iOS 7.1 both on iTunes and on the iPhone but neither one work. I keeps saying "unknown error" .
I am wondering if I restore it to factory settings and then update it will the install work?
also since i have backed up to the iCloud and my computer..will i be able to recover my music, contacts, notes and photos???
thanks in advance.

This new update for the iphone has me troubled. Nowhere did I see where it was only good for 3GS,4S and or 5. Is this update also good for the 3GS? I'm reading people are haing trouble.

iOS 6 can be loaded without problem on the 3GS. Not all features are supported however.
With respect to your reading people are having trouble, what did you expect to see on this technical support forum? People don't write in to state they have a trouble-free upgrade.

Will games for the iPhone ever be able to play on the iTouch?

I have some games I bought for my old iPod which don't work on my iTouch, but will the new iPhone games ever work on the Touch?

Your old iPod games will not work on the iPod Touch (unless they are ported over by the developer). However, new games for the iPhone/iPod Touch will be available through the App Store, starting next month. You'll need to buy the $10 v2.0 Upgrade for your IPT to access the App Store, and then you can download the games (some will likely be free, some paid, some with a free 'light' version and a paid 'full' version).
Hope this helps...

Hi Guys,
I have the sam problem just upgrading to iOs6.0.1. iTunes returns the following error:
Ive tried updating via my device (New iPad) and same problem.
I started downloading the update last week but stopped it for reasons I cannot remember. Now it seems that Ive clogged my system.
My iTunes is up to date. I have however not run any Quicktime or iCloud updates cause i do not use the software. Will it make a difference.
Also my Windows updates might be a bit outdated, say about a month or so.
Please help, very frustrating!
Also sorry but while Im here I have another question. A while ago the brightness level of my iPad adjusted by itself (not Auto Adjust). Its like it dimmed via Auto Adjust and did not "un-dim" and now Im forced to run brightness at 100% and consequently is hard on battery life. Any ideas?

I dont meet the Mac OS x 10.4.10 requirement for the iphone

Hi,
I hope some one can point me in the right direction here....
I've just realised i need Mac OS X v10.4.10 for the iPhone, and my Powerbook g4 is on v.10.3.9.
Can anyone tell me what this means? will the two not be compatible? And is there a software update or something i can do to fix this?
Thanks,
Sarah

sarahh186,
Software updates for Mac OS X 10 are free, upgrades are not.
An update would be from Mac OS X 10.3.5 to Mac OS X 10.3.9 for example. An upgrade would be going to Mac OS X 10.4 or Mac OS X 10.5.
Mac OS X 10.5 was released on October 26, 2007 at which time the Apple Store online discontinued Mac OS X 10.4. Other retailers may still have copies of Mac OS X 10.4, but I can't make specific recommendations. If your PowerBook G4 has at least a 867 mhz G4, and 512MB of RAM you can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5. You can check what your machine has by going to the Apple menu in the upper left hand corner of the screen, and then choosing "About this Mac"
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
