Apple will reset its iCloud backup service on September 22nd ahead of the likely release of its final iOS 5 test build and public iCloud launch. The date corresponds with our earlier report that Apple would launch the iOS 5 GM on September 23rd, and the reset will not have an impact on any bookmark, calendar, contact, mail or reminder data stored on iCloud. The official notice, which was posted on Apple’s Developer boards, reads:

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.

Apple launched a beta version of iCloud to developers on August 1st when it revealed the official pricing plans. Users will receive 5GB of storage for free and can sign up for an additional 10GB of storage (15GB total) for $20 per year, 20GB of additional storage for $40 per year, or 50GB of added storage for $100 per year.

      I just got a 827.89$ iPad2 for only 101.17$ and my mom got a 14989.89$ HTV for only 253.93$, they are both coming tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prîces at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HTV to my boss for 500$ that I only paid 78.24$ for.

      Oh come on man. You’re better than this

  • Tom

    So, how’s that Beta 8? Oh yeah, non existent. You really think they’ll launch a GM with the voice integration in it without a Keynote first? Pfffft, embarrassing.

      Plenty of features have only come with the official OS release and not in any betas.

      • Tom

        That is my point. They aren’t going to release a GM with all the in unannounced features before they have chance to debut the major ones at a Keynote. If they did, what would be the point in holding the keynote? It’d just be “Here’s these features you already know about & have already used”

      • http://twitter.com/dblgenius Trevor Greene

        They’ve already held a Keynote highlighting the main new features when iCloud was announced.  Sure, they’ll showcase a few more features at the next Keynote, but the star will be the iPhone 5 for sure.

    • IPwn

      The purpose of iCloud was to eliminate the need to tether your phone to iTunes for activation. Moron.

        And thats innovation?!!! you might as well get a dam tracfone or go droid icloud is a POS

      • IPwn

        Who said anything about innovation? It’s a new way to manage your iPhone device. Works the same as all the other alternatives. Also if you own a apple computer all your documents, pictures and other items are synced and updated whenever I turn my MacBook on no cord or manual syncing necessary. Go troll somewhere else.

    Maybe its just me but this kind of service isnt all that great. I very rarely need to access things between devices and if I do its like 1 picture or something petty. Then again I don’t have an mp3 player of any kind so the music side of things, which I’m sure is a big selling point for some, doesn’t appeal to me

    • IPwn

      I didn’t see a huge need for it at first. I started using it and it’s pretty neat. All my photos automatically sync with iPhoto. When I make a calendar appointment on iCal it’s on my phone too no fuss contacts are on my computer for easy access shoot even my school work is editable and accessible between phone and computer

        WTF does all this mean?  Iphoto, Ical, Iphone, Ipod, IcantcomeupwithabetternamejustaddanIinfrontofit, sounds good! Icantfigurethisshitout.
