I recently subscribed to iCloud. Do I still have to back up purchases of songs, etc., or will the iCloud take care of this? Also, I am going to replace my iPhone 4 with an iPhone 5. How do I transfer all of the songs, etc. to the new device?
iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1
Your purchased media such as songs and apps are automatically "stored" by iCloud in the sense that you can redownload them at any time (provided they are still available in the iTunes and App stores), as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
This article describes how to back up your old phone and transfer you data to your new phone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109.
