iCloud

I want to use iCloud for my iPhone and iPad. I understand that iCloud will not back up unpurchased music eg my cd collection which I downloaded to iTunes and then onto my iPhone and iPad.

My question is: -

How do I back up this music?

Greetings,


Thanks for posting. I see you have a question about music on your iPhone.


Since iTunes and iCloud backups do not contain music, you would need to sync the content from your iTunes library on a computer to any other devices: Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using iTunes on your computer

Take care.
