Confusion about iPhone Backup/Restore
#8
wurm, yes it *may have been just luck, but that's the way it's supposed to work and that's the way it worked for me going from my first 'Phone up to but not including the 5s.

Different problem I couldn't back up to my previous Mac, and I didn't have enough room at the Cloud, so the backup was fragmented and I just got a few pieces. I pretty much knew that would be the case and should have waited until I moved iTunes to a Mac that was compatible with the 5s system requirements. But I couldn't wait.


Sometimes the price of upgrading is just too high.

Agreed.

But I will say that other than the above, which could *possibly* wholly my own doing, I've only been bitten once by an iOS udpdate/upgrade, and that was with 7.0.4.

I don't know how it happened, and I'm blaming the update, regardless. But I ended up with several duplicates and triplicates in Contacts, along with email addresses misappled to other contacts. They had to be manually sorted out with the extras tossed.

Once I get 'round to moving iT to another Mac, I'll sync to it rather than the Cloud.

On my Palm V and Tungsten, I could tell the sync software to sync the palm to the Mac or the other way 'round. Maybe I'll back up but not sync to the Cloud and back up and sync to the Mac. If that's even possible.
