Hi guys, had a nightmare syncing iPhone to iTunes, because when I got the phone I had a PC, (All that was for was to get the phone up and running because I knew I'd be using it on a Mac and you have to do that to use the phone, Apple said I didn't need to /register' it on iTunes if I wait till I've got the Mac to register it, which I did!) so when I put it into the MBP tonight, it's just messed everything up, and as it was syncing I saw 'deleting' come up in the step by step, which hasn't pleased me greatly, as you can imagine. It's messed up the phone, but unplugged before it lost every single contact. Why does pressing /sync/ mean after you've done that DELETE it.
Is there a safe way to back up contacts on the MBP from an iPhone before I let iTunes lousy unclear check boxes delete the whole phone? I need to update 'version' which is the only reason I tried to sync tonight. But, seems it was a bad idea. All those checkboxes for contacts make no sense, and the contacts in advanced etc., 'replace', with what?! Can someone tell me what's the thing to do.
One last question, what is the point of backing up APPS if they are games that you have to go through a 100 levels to get back to. They don't save where you are, and when put back on phone after they DELETED ALL OF THEM!!!
they're all at square one again! All those bored levels wasted.... gameplay killed!
Is this the way of iTunes it won't back up and restore 'as the phone was', because the apps it backed up and removed when restored what it didn't delete, I had to arrange on the screens all over again, and the games it restored were all as new instead of completed levels?
Is it any wonder people like me don't back up, It always end in tears! Apple is not my friend
