IOS 7

I’ve had great fun with IOS 7 over the past few days. Although I’d made two backups before updating my phone, I hadn’t appreciated a common problem in that iTunes backups tend to get corrupted when a device is pretty full (which mine was).

My last backup did work, however, so I now have a fully restored phone. As it was in February.

After a lot of effort, with a killer hangover yesterday, I found free software to extract stuff from a backup file.

While everything’s not quite fixed … I haven’t attempted to rescue contacts with numbers that changed since February … I now have a working phone again.

I shall not describe events leading to my hangover, but my Friday was excellent. I did take a good picture though.
