Christina WarrenI am about to start my fourth attempt at transferring my old iPad to my new iPad. It has failed twice in the data transfer stage and once before we even got there. This is the stuff we used to be able to rely on with Apple. I don’t particularly want to set this thing up from scratch but I also don’t want to waste another hour. Sigh.
Rui Carmo@film_girl I have been postponing upgrading my phone _exactly_ because I know it will take forever. And I already got the new one to sync, etc. - but the pain of finishing the process daunts me.
@rcarmo yeah I even did the connect a thunderbolt cable between the two iPhones thing last time and it still was a terror where I was afraid I was going to lose battery on one of the devices because it took so many hours. This one just keeps erroring out. I’ll give it one more shot and then I’m just going to have to do it as a new setup. Which is annoying.
@film_girl Yeah, Apple QA is... middle-aged at best. I spent 3 weeks without working TouchID on my Mac until I got one of my bots to systematically crawl the web for off-beat solutions and it came back with the suggestion to create a new user and then log back into my account - which fixed it. Amazing, huh? Not to mention my travails with Time Machine…
