    Hi folks,

    Hoping someone can help! My iphone 3gs was stolen on saturday, luckily i have another 3gs handy so alls not lost. I had backed up the original iphone each time i updated it etc, but when i synced the new phone, it won't allow me chose my old iphone in the restore drop down. Is there any way I can copy the old iphone onto the new one?

    Cheers

    What steps are you following? At what point does it fail and what is the error?

    Don't sync! Hit restore and you should get the option to back up from your old iPhone let me know if that fails as o don't have my mac on I will check for you if it doesn't work.

    thanks for the replies - I updated the ios on the spare phone, and the original iphone reappeared in the drop down, panic over!
