"We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

i backed up my phone and then tried updating ios

the ios update failed and the phone went into recovery mode, itunes offered only to restore the phone to factory settings. i did and this put ios 8 on it too??

then it offered to restore from my backup and i did so and now all my apps are gone. but my mail accounts and wallpapers and poo poo are still there. i guess because my apps weren't synced to this computer

Not now chief, I'm in the fuckin' zone.
did you restore from an icloud backup or an itunes backup?

The iclouod backup is supposed to kick off all your apps being redownloaded

so where in itunes is the page that lists all the apps you've purchased and allows you to redownload them with a single click. obviously this page exists and i just don't know how to find it, because why the hell wouldn't it exist.

what a ridiculous assumption to make, especially when i can't copy the apps to this itunes library, because associating the phone with a new library requires you to wipe all the apps off the phone

oh OH, i was supposed to "transfer purchases" first, is that it? but then i still have no guarantee that it wouldn't wipe all the settings from those apps

app store > updates > purchased (and then "not on this iphone" if desired). you can't one-click download all your apps but you can one-click download each app by hitting the cloud

pretty much, if you just re/dl your apps everything should be back more or less how it was before

Use the home button to bring up Siri and ask her to set a timer. After she sets the timer and shows you the remaining time, you can now say "Hey Siri" and she'll start listening- even if you're not plugged in to a power source.

My first thought was that, if I had a 45-minute car drive in front of me, and I wasn't plugging my phone in to the USB in the car (forgot the cord or whatever), I could set the 45 minute timer and use "Hey Siri" while I'm driving.

lol jesus it's one button

it's been a while but i'm pretty sure there's a purchase history link somewhere within the app store that should basically give you the same thing i just mentioned

no it's reasonable because if the apps are already in your iTunes library because you let it manage your media and backup like a good citizen, then it'd be redundant to include the apps in the actual backups. also people would complain about backups being huge and taking forever.
