PMSL, in the Ginger's defence, having created about 10 backups (randomly of either phone, that were both named the same (marvellous)) he had managed to gain a corrupt backup somewhere along the line. I resorted to deleting all prior backups from iTunes, creating a new fresh one, restoring...
Right, you have two choices...
You can install the program I linked you to, this will let me control your computer for half hour and sort it right out.
Or, I can type a "from beginning to end" quickly for you?
It's for the same reason we don't have signs on pavements stating "please put one...
Right, but are you selecting the right backup???
If you've been backing up the new phone when you've plugged it in, then restoring that will just restore a new phone.
When you select "restore from backup" make sure the date and time is when you plugged your OLD phone in last night and...
FFS.
If you're plugging the new phone in, and "backing it up" then no wonder you're getting nowhere.
You're restoring from your brand new backup, of a blank phone... :/
If you want actual help, install team viewer and I'll fix it.
FFS. You sausage fingered yokel, stick to tractors.

then PM me with your ID number and pass code thing.
I'll do it for you remotely.
Ok, so when you did your backup last night, what exactly did you do?
Plug it into laptop, open itunes, right click "back up iphone"
If that's the case, plug the new iphone in, open itunes, right click on the iphone, click "restore from backup".
If you backed up over wifi, then it's a...
That looks awesome, but holy cow what are you taking photos with?
List of motors now then Ginger?
What is the 535 lump in this gen? Loving the style 32's!
I've always liked this, but it does look like it needs a little TLC. How do they drive in general? They're getting a bit retro cool now..
Must admit, the thread's a little try hard. Could have just posted it up.
Only thing I can suggest is to find a local member with a polisher, they can be sanded down and brought back to life most probably. But it sounds like you've made a solid effort with regards to f**king them up.
