When we passed Nick’s old 3GS on to Katie, it had been sitting around unused for months and we had plenty of time to tidy it up (and put it in a pink case studded with sequins!) before handing it over on her birthday. This time we were attempting to do the transfer much more quickly as both phones were Christmas presents. As a result, much time has been spent over the last few days trying to get the new phone set up and the old phone ready for Dashi. All of which was complicated by the fact that I had never quite got around to getting my old phone to sync with the new iMac I got back in March, because every time I tried to connect the phone to the computer I got a message asking if I was sure I wanted to completely wipe Jessamine’s iPhone. I finally worked out how to authorise the new computer and then went through the tedious process of setting up the old computer, doing a sync and back up (just in case) and then authorising and syncing the old phone with the new computer. At which point I discovered that it had somehow lost over 700 tracks! After hours of pfaffing around, we got it to the point where only 42 tracks were missing, at which point we decided near enough was good enough, and I was able to put the old phone in it’s new (lion-patterned!) case, and hand it over to a grateful Dashi.
