[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1157836, member: 61193"] I shut down the Mac, disconnected all external disks and connected only the keyboard, trackball and iPad cable and then tried again. This went through with only a couple of errors (telling me either to restore when it was already doing so or that I couldn't sync because it was already doing so). Anyway, the Restore went through cleanly, it recognised I had taken a backup yesterday and offered to restore that, which I accepted. This completed and then it started to sync. This required 2 or 3 attempts before it completed and there was still at least one App which had disappeared. I reinstalled that from iTunes, which worked once it had rechecked my payment details on the iTunes Store. At last it seems to be working correctly. No serious problems so far. Some of the games now use a different ID, but the data seems to be there, so not a problem really. The unified Mailbox is the only improvement I have found so far, which is offset by not having a screenlock any more. I believe this is supposed to be software now, but I haven't found it yet. On the other hand, I do have 60 Apps to update in the App Store!! :) Seems to have been a lot of hassle and worry for no real gain. At my age I could have done without all that. :Smirk: [/QUOTE]
