Hey Lil Yorkie I can help you!


I just updated to an iPhone 6S and got the message, I was stressed out all morning!


I searched all these forums and couldn't find anything, I called apple support and they basically said your SOL


So I searched some more and found this





It cost 30 bucks US (I'm in Canada , so it cost me a bit more 😟 ), so I not only had to pay $1300 + for my phone but I had to pay another $30 US for this.. oh well at least I got everything back.


Get your act together Apple, why aren't you offering this service?


OK my good deed for the day is done lol
