RE: Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore
Hi Esther, I think I'm finally getting the idea. I've started playing with the sync function and I think I'll be able to save everything from my old iPhone to the new one. Thank you. Take care, Ed Przybylek -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 1:44 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore Hi Ed, Sieghard has already explained some of the distinctions of what gets saved in a backup. I'll just state that as far as saving specific working versions of apps, you have to keep a copy of that app's file on your computer, either by transferring a version of the app into ITunes while that particular app or version is still available in the App Store (e.g., by buying the app through iTunes on your computer, or by having previously set your iTunes preferences so that app purchases automatically download to your computer.). If the only of an app like Bluetooth X exists as file on your iPhone or other iOS device, and you made the purchase from that device, and the app Is no longer in the App Store due to being removed by Apple for violating their guidelines, then you have to get a copy of that app saved onto your computer. In general, you'd do this by connecting your iPhone to your computer and using the Transfer Purchases option, which copies any app, music, movie, or book purchase files on your device that are not on your computer into your iTunes library. This will also replace any old versions of apps with the latest copy available on your device, and move the older versions to the Trash. If you want to keep a specific version, savea copy to another location, or make sure to get the copy that might have been moved into the Trash. I'm not sure where the Transfer Purchases option will be located for you in iTunes, since I'm on a Mac, and have refused to update to iTunes 11. Under iTunes 10, this option to transfer purchases automatically came up when you do a sync. If you show the sidebar in iTunes 11 (Coomand+Option+S on a Mac, or Control+S in Windows to toggle sidebar between show and hide), you can select your attached iPhone or other device in the sidebar, and bring up the Context menu(VO+Shift+M or Control+Click on a Mac, or right-click mouse in Windows). Transfer Purchases from your device should be one of the options. You should also be able to navigate to the File menu on your iTunes menu bar , select Devices and choose the Transfer Purchases option. There are also some third party software options that will let you copy individual apps from the connected device to your.iTunes library. I don't know what works for Windows, since I think someone mentioned that a popular Windows choice, iExplorer, is not accessible with JAWS or NVDA. However, PhoneView for the Mac, and some other options are accessible with VoiceOver. For more details, check my Mac-access list post in the Mail Archives: • Re: can we save visual voice mails http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access%40mac-access.net/msg18416.html Finally, I think you can still access previous purchases that are no longer available in the App Store, but that were not removed for violating guidelines, as Bluetooth X was (for using private Apple APIs to operate.) I hope so, for all the people who bought InDaisy, that was expensive and which is no longer available. Other apps like Bluetooth X that were removed include its predecessor, Bluetooth OnOff (appeared April 17, 2012, removed a week later). Bluetooth X (May 9, 2012) was mentioned on list for those who missed the release of Bluetooth OnOff. The only app with similar functionality I'm aware of is an app named Blue Suite ($0.99) by Mirco Bettelini. You could try that one out. HTH.

RE: Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore
Hi Sieghard, I haven't reset my original iPhone yet so doing a sync to my computer with iTunes is still a possibility. I've only used the most basic functions of iTunes so I'm not really sure how to do a complete sync of my iPhone. Do you know of a podcast or manual that would give a step by step description of how to do the sync? Thanks a lot.

I know this advice may come too late, but a backup is not the same as a sync. Backing up your phone does not back up any music or really any content for that matter. It backs up your settings which includes information about which apps you had installed and what your home screen layout was. It will also back up things like your Favorites, Text Messages and so on. I actually like to use the encrypted backup option which requires you to set a password and confirm the password before the backup starts. This backs up even more settings such as WiFi passwords.

RE: Some Items Lost During A Backup/Restore
Hi Ed, I only know of Janathan's 2-series Podcast about iTunes 11 with Jaws 14 which covers a lot of iTunes stuff. Anyhow, it all depends on how the information ended up on your old iPhone, if somebody used iTunes to sync music to your phone, then you can't sync it back to your computer. I think I heard of an application once which is supposed to allow this, but I don't remember the name. Sorry that I can't be of more help with this.

Hi Ed, Sieghard has already explained some of the distinctions of what gets saved in a backup. I'll just state that as far as saving specific working versions of apps, you have to keep a copy of that app's file on your computer, either by transferring a version of the app into ITunes while that particular app or version is still available in the App Store (e.g., by buying the app through iTunes on your computer, or by having previously set your iTunes preferences so that app purchases automatically download to your computer.).
