[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1812183, member: 396914"] Yes, its expected and is how one should do things in the first place. As soon as you get the new iPhone, use iTunes to restore from your last backup on the old iPhone and all of the settings should come over. Some things will need adjusting, of course, as the hardware is different, but all the essential stuff will be there. It's a bit like Migration Assistant in that if you do it when FIRST asked, it transfers cleanly, but if you ignore that first opportunity then it gets ugly fast. On the iPhone side, when you first power it up, the first thing to do is to connect it to the Mac, use iTunes to restore it. If you wait until later, it gets ugly fast, as you discovered. But what you saw when you did connect was as expected and proper. [/QUOTE]
