Hello
I just got a new iPhone 6 (Sydney, Australia - online from Apple and delivered about midday 19/9).
I back-up my current iPhone 5 using iCloud and use iTunes match for music but as I got a 128GB iPhone 6 I intend putting all my music on that new iPhone.
What I want to do is use the iCloud restore function to have my 6 take on the same settings and app data etc as my 5 (which is backed up through iCloud) but then sync all my music from my iMac. It appears that when I plug in a phone to my iMac for the first time iTunes won't let me sync without first either setting the phone up as new or restoring the phone from a iTunes back-up (not an iCloud back-up). Is there anyway to get around this?
Any help would be appreciated.
I hope that is clear, it sounds convoluted when I read it back.
