How to Backup Your Stylebook Data with iCloud


With the release of iCloud, it's finally possible to backup Stylebook without having to sync with your computer! Below we'll explain how to use iCloud to keep all of your Stylebook app data (your clothing, outfits, inspirations and calendar) safe and sound.

Turning on iCloud Backup


1. First, upgrade your device to iOS 5. If you have an iPhone 4S or if bought your device after October 14, 2011, you're  already up to date.  Otherwise, just sync your computer with your Mac or PC and follow the on-screen instructions to upgrade to iOS 5.

2. Open the Settings app from your iPhone's home screen and then tap iCloud.

3. Scroll down to the bottom and tap Storage & Backup.

4. In the Storage & Backup screen, slide the iCloud Backup switch to on. Now you're set up! All the app data on your phone will now be wirelessly and automatically backed up to iCloud once a day!
NOTE: Make sure to connect to wifi before you start. iCloud will only work over a wi-fi connection - the iCloud backup won't run with just cell service


Managing your iCloud Backup

1. If you want to make sure that Stylebook will be included in the list of backed-up apps, tap Manage Storage.

2. You'll see a list of the devices you have set up on your iCloud account. Tap the device you're running (in the example image, this is the iPhone).

3. You'll see a list of all the apps on your phone. If you want to save space, turn off apps you don't want to back up. Make sure the switch next to Stylebook is set to on.
