Hi Ronni Thanks for this. i'm a long way from doing this (yet to trial Lion) but have updated to iOS5 on my iPhone 4. That gave me some grief as it asked for a security password to restore on the iPhone, which I couldn't remember for a long time. Now i'm planning to do the same on my iPad (1). Any tips re this password matter? Were you asked for one? I must have one for the iPad but seriously don't know what it is. Is there a way of finding it? Certainly it didn't appear in Keychain Access.
