Hi, I have been searching these threads as I have a very similar issue, but not exactly the same, so not sure if the same solution applies in my case. If you could clarify for me, I would be very grateful!
I upgraded to iPhone 5 a few months back, but decided to set it up as a new phone rather than restoring from my iPhone 4 backup.
It regularly backs up to iCloud but I have never synced it to iTunes. I use iTunes Match to transfer my music and use the same iTunes account for everything.
I would like to link my phone to iTunes so I can wirelessly sync my other content - photos, videos etc.
When I plug my phone in (iTunes 11), I can either set up as a new phone or restore from an old iPhone 4 backup, but not from my iCloud iPhone 5 backup.
If I choose one of the above options and wipe my phone, will I then be able to restore my phone back to how it was from iCloud, and still have it linked to iTunes? I don't mind about losing my music as I can just restore that from iTunes Match.
Thanks in advance!
