I deleted every Backup I had and checked two options “block automatic syncing” and “send Error / Diagnosis data to apple” or something alike.
The interwebz stated my problem is most probably a corrupted app-download directly on the device some time ago (not trough PC but from wifi appstore on the device directly). During the process of syncing/backup the process hangs himself on a update suicide/ trying to forward diagnosis data loop.
After doing the above I could check the “encrypted backup” option. Also should do more frequent updates…I usually only snyc to my PC once in a blue moon…
I have restored the Backup on my new iPad and I am slightly impressed. Titan Quest, Stormcasters Ultra, Zombieville and some others have flawlessly imported their saves.
Why isn’t that knowledge with the encrypted backup more well known? Did I miss the day in Nerd-School when it was announced?
The internet only has some convoluted tech-articles about it…maybe I should have dug deeper but noone specifically mentioned games - only “login details and passwords” and other nebolous stuff…
If I had known this I definetly would have spend more time playing stuff the last couple of months and not dreading and fearing progress loss…
Overall…it has a strange form factor. a bit bigger in length and wide then the Air but a bit thinner…still fitting my non-Apple Sleeve fine.
Nice sound with the 4 speakers and much more responsive then my Air (1st gen.)
However…the damn huuuuuge (useless) backside camera…why dont they offer a version without it?
Several times I needed to the supress the urge this clever gentlemen had in this legendary youtube Video where he permanently fixed the camera hump on his iPhone 6.
While it doesn’t bother me all that much with my iPhone 6+ since I have a case which camouflages the camera-hump however I don’t use cases for my iPads…argh.
