Tip: Don't install iOS betas. They aren't meant for daily use. Just for developers to test out their apps and to iron out bugs.
I registered on the forum JUST so I can reply to this annoying response and write this:
I have lost data from iTunes backups from RELEASE VERSIONS. Multiple times.
So next time before you reply to someone saying an obvious very important tip with some useless "don't install iOS betas" personal opinion ********, you should respect that just maybe he is saying something wise.
Fact 1: iTunes has always liked to randomly delete backups
Fact 2: There's NO WAY TO BACK UP THE CAMERA ROLL EXCEPT THROUGH iTUNES.
No, e-mailing yourself/sending yourself the pictures through some method and then making them an album in iPhoto / My Pictures folder / Aperture / however other way is NOT .. NOT^500000 a viable solution, I repeat NOT!
You could think of this several ways. 1. you could think of it as wasting your breath. as you cannot go to the iOS beta download page without seeing the warning "this is not meant for daily use devices" 2. you're only saying that out of an emotional response that he wrote "Tip: Don't rely on Apple for backups"
That tip is A) not mentioned by Apple or anywhere else and B) A HELL of a lot more useful.. why?
because I know people who have lost EVERYTHING because they relied on Apple backups on RELEASE versions of iTunes and iOS.
If you're not going to help. GTFO. I say that as a Google user trying to find an answer to this problem.
Seriously, no. GTFO. Why? Because I am SICK of finding search results in Google that look promising because the user has the exact issue but then it's filled with absolutely useless cynical criticisms, insults and other ********.
Thank you for reading this PSA for frustrated Google searchers everywhere. Sadly this cannot be put in BOLD TEXT on someone's monitor as soon as they post a cynical ******** post that is of no help whatsoever.
