It WAS migrated by someone much more capable than I, but I did something wrong on the backup attempt. And what happened to your backups of the iTunes data from your older machine? What happened to the older computer itself, with it's data? I'm using it for foto editing and newsgroups not in Newstap on the iPad. It couldn't restore the app data because the new machine had dumped them and it restored them empty. -- biblioholic medievalist |

It's remarkable how defensive the iCrowd gets about catastrophes. Catastrophes caused by idiocy that are blamed on the computer, yes. I've lost things and it's awful. So have I. I once erased many TB of data with amispalced space in a backup script. While transfering another chunk of TB of data from a failing drive to a backup, both drives went tits up. It's not fun. Since I'm a computer engineer, I have the knowledge to indulge my obsession with backups. For (computer) laymen, the loss of data varies from a PITA to life-changing crisis. Right, but with proper backups you should never lose much data at all. In this case there is a backup, but E-wassit seems to not want to talk about why s/he/it is not using it and also claims it doesn't contain any data, only apps. Which is absurd. I've explained it. And Erilar is an Old Norse use-name. -- biblioholic medievalist |

The tech who did the computer transfer didn't have the iPad itself. he didn't need the ipad and he failed at properly migrating your computer. fire him. |

Enilar, I've known nospam for may years and have had many happy battles with him. There is one thing I can say: he knows what he is talking about. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I don't know what she's afraid of; probably just being considered incompetent. One thing I do know, though, is that when she does take the blame on herself everything opens up between us; as opposed to when she's beating about the bush like a silly, irresponsible little girl, when my attitude toward her hardens because she's become untrustworthy.
