Get in the cloud!

There is no need to depend on a computer to back up your iPhone or iPad any longer. I personally use my iPad as my main computing tool and have all data completely backed up in the cloud.


Here's how:

Back up phone (contacts, calendar, settings)

Go to settings app
Choose iCloud
Turn on iCloud backup
Make sure you have wifi and check that the backup completes


Put music and pics in the cloud using apps

There are many options to do this. Here are 2 good free methods.


For liberating large music libraries from your computer, Google Music is your best free option. You can upload up to 20,000 songs from your computer for free.
Go to here to check it out the website from your desktop, which you will need to do in order to upload music.

There is a web app to access the music on your iPhone or iPad. Simply visit music.google.com from your mobile device browser.



Photobucket
Developer: photobucket.com

This free app allows you to view, upload and download pictures from your account.

For large picture libraries, Photobucket is your best free option. You can upload and store unlimited photos and 500 videos with a free account. Go here to check it out the website for your desktop.
