Apple has decided to reset the beta testing data for the iCloud on September 22nd. If you are having some important data on iCloud, back them up now!
Apple has decided to reset their iCloud data on September 22nd since iOS 5 and the final iCloud are fast approaching the end-users. Apple has reportedly posted this information on the Apple Developer center yesterday.
This is a sign that the iOS 5 GM will be the next release and not iOS 5 beta 8. This reset does not include data from mail, contacts and calendars. But still, to be on the safer side, it’s better to backup you contacts on your local system.
Here’s what Apple has posted according to 9to5mac.com:
[quote cite=”Apple Developer center”] On Thursday, September 22, the iCloud Backup data will be reset. Backing up to iCloud or restoring from an iCloud backup will be unavailable from 9 AM PDT – 5 PM PDT. If you attempt a backup or restore during this time, you will receive an alert that the backup or restore was not successful. After this reset, you will be unable to restore from any backup created prior to September 22. A full backup will happen automatically the next time your device backs up to iCloud.
