I HATE Apple!

What's a proprietary backup? No such thing is possible unless you rooted your phone, in which case you can't bitch when things don't work.

Much as you may hate apple's closed environment, you and I both know PEBKAC.

CopyTrans can backup your phone without root/jailbreak. I haven't used it yet, I have all my pictures and data backed up on iCloud and my PC.

BTW she's single. Want to help her out next time?

p.s.. oh sorry didn't read all of your post. Yeah it could be PEBKAC, Pekmez or any other type of a sticky jam , but hey.. I still had to hear the Rant! And I can't tell her anything else.

p.s.2. I think what she did was to have itunes data and buy a third party program to read all the itunes data and that's how she recovered it.

p.s.3. she may have had rooted her iphone first, too, that's true.

"proprietary backup" is a fast-typed response meaning "iTunes's storage" which you can't get pics out of by hand. Supposedly.
 
freeware version of copytrans only supports up to 100 files.
 
OP will *definitely* want to get iTunes installed on his various iOS devices nownow....the new iTunes Radio free music streaming service has arrived and has made Pandora irrelevant.

Millions and millions of more available songs on iTunes Radio with fewer ads unlike the avalanche of annoying Pandora advertisements. Apple does music well.

11 million listeners to iTunes Radio in its first few days of existence. WOW! When the world learned this, Pandora's stock price instantly dropped 10%...

Goodbye Pandora, the king has arrived: iTunes Radio. :thumbup

I started using iTunes radio two days ago and am pretty impressed with it. I like it better than Pandora, and it's free.
 
irrespective of whether you're wired negative or positive - weird little fixation y'all got going on here. not sure i've ever gave that big a shit one way or the other about a consumer product.
 
Kinda apples and oranges isn't it? One is a corporation that has stockholders who would much rather see profits retained than given away. And the other is an actual charitable organization.

Microsoft and its employee donated 105 million dollars in 2012. Not to mention Jobs stopped all philanthropy donation when he became CEO 1997 and it wasn't until Tim Cook became CEO did he re implement it.
