Hi guys,
I bought Apple TV on a whim and after sorta feeling I needed iCloud (to buy TV series and Boxsets for streaming) I bought a yearly subscription but now realise I simply do not understand it. Could you please explain:
iTunes & iMatch:
- When I turn itunes match on, it sends everything to the cloud and then deletes my music data on the phone. I understand that all of my music is on the cloud and I can access it but:
1) Doesn't this require a wifi network when I'm out and about?
2) If I use my cellular data (1GB a month allowance), am I not going to burn through this at warp speed? If so, how and why has iCloud become so popular? It's literally made a cost problem out of nothing; why use iCloud when you can use your phone's hard drive?
3) When I bought a TV box set, I understand that this goes to the cloud automatically but it also is downloaded onto my hard drive. How do you get around the hard drive take-up issue? You'd run out of space super quickly! I was hoping to get rid of my DVDs and CDs but this seems impractical if I need a shed load of hard drive.
End of subscription
- I bought a years sub. What happens when this expires? Does everything on the cloud get deleted or does it get deactivated until you re-subsribe? Also, what happens to the music pushed to the cloud that was not purchased through Apple? Do you lose that too?
Okay, I feel like a real douche for not doing my homework and I'm sorry if this is ignorant. Can someone please enlighten me? So far I'm feeling that iCloud is a bit of a swizz.
