Apple - iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.What does backup to cloud mean?

Once you create an iCloud account you'll be given the choice of backing up to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud...and can switch anytime.Does this mean I don't sync or backup my phone on iTunes anymore?
Also after updating my phone my photo album names show up but the photos aren't in them.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Greetings, everyone! How long did the "restoring iPad apps" process take for you?
Apologies, I finally had a moment to look at the gazillion posts on this thread today and found that I misspoke in response to your post...the Lion update (10.7.2) can be accessed using the Mac's update feature. I thought you (or perhaps someone else?) were referring to the Lion OS (which is purchased from the Mac App Store). Sorry for the confusion.oh right,thought it was the lion update that was wanted,you just forget about the lion install its so" normal" to me now
The restore process takes a while...and I'd imagine right now a while longer since Apple's servers are so taxed. I have about 7GB's of Apps and it took about 40 minutes, but I was one of the first ones in the gate so the load probably wasn't nearly as high as it is now.iTunes has been on "Restoring iPad Apps" for over an hour now.
My iPad though is not syncing?
Should my iPad by syncing during the "Restoring iPad Apps"?
I have about 30GB of apps on my iPad to restore.

Your iPad would not be doing anything, syncing or otherwise, while the apps are being restored.
After the apps are restored your music and videos will be restored...that took even longer on my iPad w/about 40GB of music and 10GB of video.
Ultimately it appears that the restorations are coming from Apple's servers (iCloud) rather than from iTunes on the computer as they used to. So your connection/broadband speed will have a big impact on how fast all of that happens.
Hang in there!
Frustration is understandable, but quite honestly, how would Apple know where the disconnect was? If their severs are swamped and unable to respond that's one thing, but it's also quite possible it's something else and some folks may need to actually check their Internet connection. There's no way of knowing.Apple needs to take some responsibility for what is going on. I'm tired of seeing that my internet connection has timed out and that I should "check my internet connection". Just tell us your getting slammed and we will understand. I would bet there are a million people out there right now trying to track down the issue with their internet and freaking out a little.
ARRGGGGGG!
Yes. Once. Took a little less than 2 hours total.Did anybody get a chance to upgrade their iPads and how many tries are necessary?
