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.
Thomas Brand@film_girl this never would have happened with Music Match Jukebox. (But in all seriousness I have given up on direct transfer and only recommend iCloud/iTunes restore.)
@Eggfreckles I just don’t have the stomach to do backup and restores via macOS, I just don’t. Maybe I should, but I was under the impression that I still had to login to everything again that way. This way (which worked 4th time, although the other iPad still thinks it’s doing a transfer), my tabs and cookies and app logins largely remained the same. Which is what I wanted. Would any of that persist on a backup to a Mac?
Pierre-Luc Gagné@film_girl @Eggfreckles I go in my library folder and see the amazing amount of cruft and old stuff from the 10.5 era that’s still in there and sometimes I wonder:
How does my Library folder on my iOS account dating all the way from OS 2? I paid for the update to get mail on my iPod Touch, is that flag still on there?
@pl @Eggfreckles omg I also paid for the iPod touch update. I think the $5 for wireless N support too! Ahh, Sarbanes-Oxley justification when the only people that violated that were Steve Jobs and Fred Anderson.
