[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1704375, member: 61193"] Hmm ..... Houston, we may have a problem. Still trying to restore a backup from my existing iPhone6 to the new iPhone6s Plus. Sometime last year I changed my ISP. The email address I had with that ISP was my Apple ID, so I had to change that. For some reason, it seems that items purchased on an Apple ID are based on the Apple ID at the time, so even though they have all been backed up using the new Apple ID, which is the backup I am using, it may not be possible to restore these using the new name of the Apple ID - not a new ID, just renamed. This is crazy. Even Microsoft can cope with an AD user ID being renamed as they are based on a hidden GUID, not the user name. Can it really be true that Apple cannot manage that? Either way, the restore is taking forever. It has managed about 500MB this morning. My Broadband is slow but not that slow. [/QUOTE]
