Managing what to sync in the iCloud settings iCloud syncs everything There is one more thing about the iCloud app sync - when you buy a new app, it will be pushed to all of your iDevices automatically (if available and if you have enabled this feature from the AppStore settings).
APPLE ITUNES MATCH FREE
That will quickly eat up your free iCloud allowance of 5GB. Unfortunately, if you use an app as USB storage (a dedicated video player perhaps), the sync will try to back up the stored content as well (your video clips).
APPLE ITUNES MATCH INSTALL
If you delete the game and install it again later (for free, from the Purchased list), your iPhone will download the original IPA off the App Store, complete with the save data - a lot more natural way to sync an app rather than keeping the whole image. Apple will only sync the save data in question. You have Angry Birds installed on your iPhone. So if you chose to sync with iCloud, Apple will sync only the app's personal data, not the entire IPA file (as iTunes did). And they know this for each one of your iDevices. Now Apple know exactly what apps you've purchased, what you have installed on an iDevice and what you have for some reason uninstalled.
APPLE ITUNES MATCH UPDATE
You've probably noticed the new Purchased list already in the App Store's Update tab. If you had more than one iDevice you've done two (or more) separate sync processes. Until now you synced all your apps on a single computer and its iTunes. You iCloud account and settings - you choose what to sync Apps and iCloud Effortless syncing and backup/restore - along with pushing content to all devices associated with your Apple ID. ICloud is Apple's cloud-based content management - the service, which comes free with iOS 5 will further reduce the need of a PC/Mac and iTunes. What is it, how you set it up and what you get? Now, let's pay due attention to the iCloud.
Now, Apple says the service is in beta, so there's a chance that Siri will come to the iPhone 4 with an update somewhere down the line. Here's the bad news for iPhone 4 owners - Siri is not for you, just for the new iPhone 4S. Press the Mic button on the keyboard and start dictating, whether it's a message body text, a search query, a calendar entry, a note.ĭictating into the Spotlight search and a text message In any app involving text entry you can dictate instead of type. Dictation support is another important part of the functionality. Siri can be helpful in many ways, and it's usually the important stuff it does well: reading out messages, scheduling appointments, reminders, and such, taking down notes, launching apps and carrying out searches, calling or sending messages to your contacts, etc. The UK English and French versions use a male voice, instead of female. It also supports a limited number of languages and if you think your TOEFL English will cut it, you may be wrong as Siri is very bad with accents. You should keep in mind that Siri loses a good deal of its usability outside the US as it can't search for nearby points of interests and businesses. Well, we are sure Apple is adding more helpful answers too, but we are sure most of the users are currently using Siri mostly for fun. And Apple are adding new jokes on the Siri servers, because we discovered a few new ones since the iPhone 4S launch. The practical value of such jokes is zero, but it really gives the user a sense that they are speaking to something intelligent rather than something that knows some answers by rote. Settings an alarm, sending a message or saving a note with SiriĪpple even gave it a bit of an attitude, so when you ask something silly (as you surely will), Siri comes back with a witty reply and a grin on its face. It's impressively versatile: you can request information (weather, stock, points of interest, you name it) or ask it to perform tasks for you - set an alarm, add a calendar entry, compose a message. It listens to your spoken questions and answers back in its own voice. As you've undoubtedly heard (and seen) Siri, the personal digital assistant that lives in the iPhone 4S, is really amazing.
