Apple's 'single user' personal devices use iOS for the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad.&nbsp;
This is in contrast to Apple's multi-user products that run <a hef=/apple/>OS X</a>
providing a more classic workstation based solution.&nbsp; Key to iOS devices is the
'tethering' notion, where each device is associated with a workstation for backup and administration.&nbsp;
For the most part Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X workstations must have iTunes application
installed to provide tethering to iOS devices.&nbsp; iPhoto and related
workstation applications indirectly share information with iOS devices through
iTunes typically.

More recently various cloud services (e.g. Apple's iCloud) have been increasingly providing direct support
for backing up and managing iOS devices without tethering them to a workstation.&nbsp; Especially for
purchased applications and media, Apple will display a mini 'cloud download' icon indicating
it can be downloaded for use without payment.&nbsp; However anything the entails users settings,
personal files, media, and such still can only be managed and recovered by tethering to a workstation.
