Well that's pretty hard to understand Apple is leaving their users in trouble, with the upgrades without any way back... Now I read a lot of postings about this topics. When I knew this before I would not upgrade the IOS. Anyway thank you rbrylawski for your quick reply. You helped me by spending not too many hours figuring this out!

@ Apple Support: please improve on this! You're losing your public ...

Apple isn't here, so your comment to them won't be read by anyone who matters.


On this subject, not being able to bypass this is for our protection. Otherwise, anyone could steal a phone and restore it for themselves. So, you won't get many people to agree with you that it should be easy to do without the computer we normally sync with. Sorry but that's how it is.
