Apple update ios 7.0.6

If you weren't aware there is an update!

Signing into icloud vs restore from icloud

There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding signing into icloud versus restoring from an icloud backup.

Signing into iCloud

When you sign into icloud you only transfer or receive the following items:
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders (if you have an email that ends in icloud.com or me.com)
Any bookmarks
Notes (if you have an email that ends in icloud.com or me.com )
Passbook
Key Chain
Photos (only if photo stream is turned on and then it is limited to the last 1000 photos! )

If you are looking for the photos from photo stream please keep in mind that it will not show up in the camera roll it will be in the photo stream tab labeled shared.

Apps and music will not be transferred but you can download from the store. For the apps any progress you have within
the app or data will not transfer.

Restore from icloud backup

Restoring from icloud backup is exactly like restoring from an iTunes backup.

All photos, music and settings will transfer to the phone. It will take everything  that was not brought over from a computer.

If you do this method you will have to restore the iPhone by going into settings- general- reset- erase all content

When the phone restarts select the option to restore from icloud backup.

Beats App

Beats has come out with a new app. If you have AT&T you can get the app free for 90 days.

The app allows you to stream music similar to Pandora and allows you to create playlists.

What I like best about this app is that you can skip and not be limited on the skipping. Below are some screenshots:

FitBit App Updated

Fitbit is an application that allows you to track your fitness. You can track your steps, your food intake, sleep, and even glucose and blood pressure (some features are only available on the website).

The mobile application allows you to see your progress and add food, activities, and sleep.


The newest feature to this is it allows you to set up a Silent Alarm. This depending on the fitbit you use, sends a vibration to the fitbit to alert you or remind you to do something.
