Hi, to get her old apps they can be just redownload I would think as all of them would be under the new user ID and password you made when you modified your original. But to be sure I think Apple is best to answer this. Also why not just do it for her it don't matter what computer you do it from. All you need is some info from her. HTH

Thanks, I just took a gander at the dialog and think I could get her through it remotely. Trouble is that it might take a half hour at least to get her to select the store menu and correct option. Still wonder if I can have her do the setup and then simply restore from her older firmware 3GS in order to recover her contacts and apps. Best regards.
