[QUOTE="centre21, post: 1813565, member: 401784"] So here's the situation: My wife got a new iPhone X, but the people at the store didn't let us know that she'd have to upgrade to El Capitan to synchronize the device. Her Mac is capable of running EC, but we never got around to upgrading it. So I attempted to upgrade her Mac, but the upgrade kept failing. We have since upgraded her Mac and iTunes recognizes her phone, but now we have a new dilemma - she's been using the phone for a good while, and she has data on there she wants to keep. The problem is, when she connects her phone to iTunes, she has two choices: Restore from Backup or Set Up as a New Phone, both of which will erase the data she currently has on her device. Has anyone been in this situation and found a way around it? I know I can get the pictures off the phone, but it's the notes that I'm worried about. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
