[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1538042, member: 61193"] Nice thought. Unfortunately, Apple recently made it possible to setup an iDevice directly without needing a computer. Sadly they do not seem to have advised iTunes of that - so every time I connect my iPad Mini to iTunes it wants to set it up as a new device or restore a backup. Leaving it alone and letting me sync files from one to the other does not seem to be an option. Therefore, no backups are possible (unless the iCloud thing actually works) and no updating via iTunes. :( The same applies to my iPod Touch (4th Ed), although it appears that is not supported by iOS7 anyway. I assume an iPhone4S would not be either. [/QUOTE]
