Title: Restoring an iPhone from iTunes
Post by: Mr.OmegaMan on 02 December 2013, 20:12:08
Well i got my replacement iPhone 5 back from apple today a new device, Before sending the old one back i had made a backup copy to iCloud and iTunes on the laptop.

I'm trying to restore the iPhone using iTunes on the Laptop, Which i did and everything was back apart from the apps, I tried to sync the apps from the Laptop and it went through the loading bar steps, 1,2,3, 4 etc and it just says Sync Cancelling.

So i'm trying to restore the phone again, But i'm sure that wont fix this hiccup i'm having... I would try iCloud but my internet is too slow for that, But if it came to the worst i could use iCloud i suppose.

Any ideas  ???

I'd be tempted to start as new device tbh. Transfer the contacts, but otherwise leave the pc alone.

...is it worth re installing iDooms?

Just finished another restore.. No apps restored again.

How long should i wait for this to finish, I don't see any Sync wheel turning on the iPhone or any Apps popping up..

Apps don't restore, if you had the phone save all apps to the PC/mac you can drag n drop to the phone otherwise it's App Store, purchased, then re install each desired app.

Yep it wouldn't do that mind for some reason kept cancelling.

90% done now id say doing it (manually) from the app store.

iTunes? Good luck with that. Handy for wiping iDevices accidentally though...

Android handsets are simply seen as external disk drives, you drag & drop whatever you want once it's connected to the PC.

Yup. No different to gayTunes, only you have more some control over what it does.

5's do appear to suffer from build issues, had a few failures in the office, top lock button being a common failure.

Guess you're ready to crossover to the dark side (Android) then.

How have the 5S model's been behaving overall ?

I do have a Asus MeMo HD 7 16GB android tablet, When the iPhone was working it felt more like home sort of thing using iOS seems less complicated and more smooth.

Originally I was planning on keeping the 5 till the next gen iPhone came out rather than the 5S, Just don't know if this next replacement will last till then  :-\
