Q: iCloud

I currently have the iPhone 5 and I just backed up my stuff on iCloud bc I'm upgrading to iPhone 5s my question is once I get my new phone and log into my iCloud and restore everything does that include the music I bought on iTunes? And is my Apple ID the same?

    The iTunes account will be the same, but whether your purchased music will download with the restore will depend upon what country that you are in (music can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you've changed countries since buying it, and if it's still in your country's store (and the same applies for apps and any other download ; audiobooks and ringtones are one-time downloads so they won't be downloaded on your new phone).

     

    You should be able to copy your iTunes purchases over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option - that will then allow you to sync your purchases to your new phone.
