[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1789185, member: 83420"] Hello again. Thanks for posting back. You are quite right. There is [I]syncing[/I] between devices via iCloud - and [I]backing up[/I] to iCloud. The settings I drew your attention to in my last post address both of these. [I]Everything[/I] on your iPhone, for example, is backed up to iCloud via the " iCloud Backup" part of the settings irrespective of whether you sync between devices or not. This applies to every iDevice you have. So, that's the backup bit: remember [I]everything[/I] on your iPhone is backed up. The syncing part depends on your checking those items which you want to sync from the list of options; from photos to iCloud Drive - just choose from the list. And iCloud Drive is where you will put your Pages, Keypoint and Numbers - and iCloud Drive is backed up and synced as well if you want. It seems complicated, but in fact it's all very straightforward. Backup and sync are independent things but both are controlled within the same settings page - as per my post above. Ian [/QUOTE]
