Hey guys, I'm getting real frustrated here. My phone, for some odd reason, decided to de-associate itself with my computer and iTunes, and kept asking me to restore from backup, blah blah. So since I had an iCloud backup saved, I tried erasing my phone from the settings and then selecting "restore from iCloud backup". This all SEEMED to work initially, but there was a bit of a problem…

First of all, iTunes on the computer was asking me whether I wanted to setup the phone as a new phone or restore from a backup. I DID THAT on the phone already!!! So I don't get why it's asking me again, and I don't know which one of the two to select. So I tried setting it up as a new phone, and once it started syncing, nothing wanted to sync properly. I don't get it.

Has anybody had this happen to them, and if so, do you know how I should proceed? I don't even know if I should select "setup as new phone" or "restore from backup" from iTunes on my Mac… ARG! I though Apple was good at making things easy.
