Turn iPhone o. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the slider appears, then drag
the slider.
For additional security, you can require a passcode to unlock iPhone. Go to Settings > Touch ID

Important: To avoid duplicates, keep contacts, calendars, and notes in sync using iCloud or
iTunes, but not both.
You can also manually manage content from iTunes, in the device’s Summary pane. This lets you

or later, and on PCs with the iCloud Control Panel for Windows (Windows 7 or Windows 8

•
Apps and Books—Download previous App Store and iBooks Store purchases to iPhone for
free, anytime.
•
Photos—Use My Photo Stream to push photos you take with your iPhone to your other

•
Documents in the Cloud—For iCloud-enabled apps, keep documents and app data up to date
