[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1704490, member: 61193"] Still working on restoring and setting up the new iPhone. Still feel it will be worth it eventually. One related question regarding iTunes. When I attach a device to iTunes for the first time, I am offered two choices - restore from Backup or setup as a new device. The first is no help here as I don't have a backup on iTunes. However, the second is the one that puzzles me. It might just be that I am misreading that. Does that option imply 'Erase the device so it must be setup again as a new device' or 'register this unknown device on iTunes without changing anything on it'? If the former then I dare not try to use iTunes with a device that was configured directly. If the latter then this is just the option I need here - plug in the old phone, select option 2, back it up, plug in new phone and choose option 1. Not something I want risk by testing it. Can anyone advise please? I suspect this might be either my misunderstanding or a case of British English v US English. [/QUOTE]
