Question 6

Troubleshoot iCloud features.

Answer 6

Two common issues that occur while backing up to iCloud are insufficient storage and incomplete backup. Restoring your iPhone from an incomplete backup might result in lost data.

Settings, tap [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups. Turn off apps that you don’t want to back up, then tap Turn Off & Delete to confirm.

If iCloud backup issues persist, upgrade your iCloud storage or reduce the backup size.

Answer 7

Some iCloud features will not work with Managed Apple IDs. For example, users can’t use Apple Pay, iCloud Mail, iCloud Family Sharing, Message (allow in iCloud), iCloud Keychain (although Keychain items are saved and restored on Shared iPad devices).

-Managed app’s stored data in iCloud
-Backup, Notes and highlights sync for proprietary in-house books
