dude, you can even install the betas with just OTA upgrades. no need for iTunes.

like, I still have my iPhone 6, and putting the iOS 11 beta on it just involved installing the device management profile for it from Apple (by going to the developer website on the iPhone 6 and downloading it straight onto the phone) and then going into Settings and doing a normal OTA upgrade.

edit: I think I had to restart the phone after the profile was installed. it'll tell you if you need to.

serious post don't you need to re-log in to all your Appz if you do this vs the iTunes backup? (i do the itunes backup because i do not want to sign in to Appz)

no, icloud backups store all userdata/logins/whatever AND restores redownload apps for you automatically. last i checked itunes backup restores don't redownload apps for you.

icloud backups have been superior for years now. although im not sure what happens to the health data in icloud backups

Well too bad my phone backup is larger than 5gb and I don't want to pay for a monthly service just to backup my phone

I guess the backups over Wi-Fi aren't bad though, I checked when iTunes last backed up my phone and apparently it was last night at some point so I guess it does backup automatically?

how is your phone backup over 5 gb? if it's photos, you can just not have it back those up. my phone backup is 3.1 gb

music players should not try to organize your music for you. that is what the filesystem is for. you don't see word refusing to let you open a document unless you put it into your "document library"

itunes mainly sucks because of drm

which is pretty funny because the ipod fortune was made on piracy before legal stores existed
they should have never made the itunes store and just kept up the facade of people ripping legal cds

tool is good don't get me wrong but division bell is the result of good musicians who have grown up

whereas tool need to actually grow up

really keen to hear thee new album when it ever comes out but i doubt i'll listen to it over and over Z they must be in they 50s or more by now so maybe they should act they age

it occurred to me recently that the music i'd been listening to is literally dad rock and i'm not okay with that. like, tripod and superunknown were great albums but that was nearly 30 years ago, put on somehting new and good
