Fking Iphones

beware-just did an update on my iphone as Apple suggests, following the process.

Did a backup beforehand, then after the update and restore tried to restore my backup only to find it requesting a password to access it.

The backup was not encrypted either before or after the backup and would not accept any of my usual passwords either.

2 1/2 hours on the phone to Apple to reveal that there is NO way to bypass the password whether youve forgotten or (in this case) its asking for a password when there shouldnt be one.

End result is loss of every bit of data, photos (including Abrolhos) text etc on my phone

Smart phones ha bar humbug.

pain in the ass, but it is a great bit of kit as well. This problem is just a glitch in that they have no way to bypass the password I guess with 100 mill people using them...

Ive had this phone for 2 years, almost faultless which causes you to rely on it too much.

Still Ill download all my pics more often now.

And you guys wont have to put up with all my Abrolhos pics from last weekend except the ones from the brick camera
