Apple is a world famous company, which is the best manufacturer of computer devices. This company has a high demand in the market and constantly surprises its users with new developments. Among their products you can find mobile phones, tablets, laptops, computers and much more. Each development is of high quality and is necessarily part of a huge Apple system. But the company is not known for just some technologies, since in some of its departments software is also actively developed, which can only be used by the buyer of their equipment.
And today we’ll talk about the well-known and still quite young software product, which is known as iCloud Media Library. In this article we will analyze what this program is, how to use it, what functions it has and what you can expect from it in general. It is worth recalling that Apple constantly supports its developments, regardless of the year of their production, simultaneously releasing various updates and extensions.
What kind of program?
So, iCloud Library is the link to all the equipment that was developed by Steve Jobs. This program is a kind of virtual storage that is capable of synchronizing among themselves all the devices that you have. The main condition, of course, is the production of one company. It is no secret that almost every device uses a single account for native equipment, that is, you can’t connect several developments with each other until you confirm your account, pass the verification and identify the serial numbers. For example, you can synchronize a mobile phone and a tablet, then connect a computer to them, etc. An important requirement is the availability of the Internet and initial knowledge of program management, although all this is available in the proposed instructions that are provided with the product. Everyone can manage the iCloud Library, the main thing is to start using it, and in the future you will not have any questions or misunderstandings.
What is it for?
We figured out the basis, but what functions does it conceal in itself? Is it really an interesting and useful application that can facilitate us using devices? In fact, it is! ICloud iTunes Library allows you to easily synchronize data between devices, while using cloud storage. That is, all the data stored on the iPhone, iPad, iMac, have a copy in the cloud storage, and this allows you to receive data from any device and move all the necessary information without the use of unnecessary reasons, registration and waiting. Convenient, isn't it?
ICloud Media Library allows you to transfer any digital data as soon as possible and in a minute to process them on another device. The data mainly includes multimedia files, but you can also use simple documents, presentations, etc. You only need to consider the amount of storage memory.
How to enable it?
Everything is clear with the functionality, but how do I enable the iCloud library? It is quite simple to do this, since the standard settings allow you to use the switch of the sleep and active state of the program. To do this, go to the device settings, find the iCloud menu and find the sub-item “iCloud Media Library”, then simply activate the slider, and the function will be available to you. Do not forget that the use of cloud storage requires registration and the creation of a single account for devices. After all these steps, you can easily log in and exchange data with the virtual server. The server has a limited amount of memory that needs to be filled wisely, otherwise you simply do not have enough space. But this is just the initial stage of using the storage, which can be increased in the future. Also in the settings you can specify which data you will synchronize and which devices to recognize.
Photo storage
So, the iCloud library is turned on, now it remains to start using it and admire the convenience. The first function of the service is cloud photo transfer. If iCloud is in your active state, then every photo you take during the day will have a backup copy in the service. It will be stored for a while to protect you from accidental deletion of data. Then you can simply delete it from the phone, and it will remain in the cloud storage forever. Quite a convenient method, especially when you often have to take pictures. But that's not all the features, as a photo editor is provided along with iCloud. It, of course, is not as advanced as, for example, Photoshop, but it allows you to edit the color scheme and cut the excess out of the frame. And this is more interesting than any similar service, the most interesting thing is that you can use the editor from any device.
Video storage
ICloud Media Library is recommended to use absolutely everything, from ordinary users to business people. What makes the app so popular? Everything is quite simple: iCloud, in addition to the main function of storage and synchronization, allows you to use various editors for multimedia files. For example, in addition to the content of the videos in the repository, they can still be edited and converted at your discretion. You became a witness to an unusual phenomenon, filmed what was happening, quickly edited it in iCloud, left it for storage, and from there uploaded it to any video hosting service.
Efficiency, convenience and ease of management are the main advantages of this service. And this already opens up great opportunities for maintaining a personal video diary and active employment in the field of video recording. The editor currently has standard functions, but this is not the limit, since in the future it will be actively developed.
Music storage
ICloud Media Library (music), as you already understood, offers standard functions and the included editor. The main functions allow you to create audio albums and store all the information in the "cloud", and the editor allows you to process sound tracks, create your own tracks and simply edit the resulting audio recordings without much effort and knowledge.
At first glance, these are not very popular functions, but it’s worth remembering how many people are engaged in such a thing, and now that you have the opportunity to always have a convenient editor at hand, this already takes place and be popular. Here, in fact, all the functions that iCloud has in it. They are few, but they are detailed and may well be useful at any time. Given that the digital age is now underway, it is worth understanding the importance of these skills and capabilities. Various social networks, a huge abundance of videos and many other examples - all this will require you to work correctly with various data options. But there is one small and not very pleasant problem, which is easily solved, but more often occurs.
Problems with use
If you cannot turn on iCloud, what should I do? Oddly enough, but this is not the result of damage or deception. The program cannot be activated if you do not have a registration account and licensed products. Yes, at the present time there is a huge number of fakes of Apple products, which look absolutely original and fresh, but in fact it turns out that under the layer of beauty is an empty blank, without the possibility of using various services and other features.
To determine whether the original is in front of you or not, it is worth remembering an important rule: buy products exclusively at specialized Apple centers. Even large retailers do not disdain to sell counterfeit goods. Be careful, and you will immediately save yourself from many problems and extra costs. And regarding the impossibility of connecting, this problem lies in the lack of the Internet or registering a place in the cloud storage. It’s easy to fix these problems, the main thing is to find the time for this.
Main purpose
The iCloud Media Library, at first glance, is designed to store data from any device in virtual space. But on the other hand, it is this service that is able to solve the main problem, which concerns an unpleasant situation when the user forgets the password and his device is blocked. Thanks to this cloud storage, any user can easily reset their device settings, thereby saving all the data. This will avoid blocking problems and continue to use your device. And other features that relate to the free transfer of data, its editing and publication on social networks - all this is just a pleasant addition to the main purpose.
