Hi,
I know this doesn’t really answer your question but, why not just have your
device backed up to iCloud? In my opinion, its so much easier, and convenient
than backing up on your computer. You don’t even have to do anything. If on

Hi,
I guess it depends. In raw speed/transfer rate I guess. But, I think this is
kind of trivial because an iCloud backup for me only takes less than 2

Hi Ricardo,
You can't really compare doing a sync via WiFi and an icloud backup since
iTunes WiFi sync is just that, a sync whereas an iTunes backup is a backup.
I also agree that both the iCloud backup and iTunes backup, especially the
encrypted backup, have their purpose. If I really have to

The only way you *may* be able to do this is if you downgrade after a

Ben.

Hi Avnish,
No, Apple does not give developers this level of access to iOS and nothing
has changed there in iOS 7. Keyboard apps like Fleksy or some of the braille
