Cry

I'm writing quick because once I find out for sure, I will be too gutted to type.

So there's a new version of iTunes. Update, sure, get some iPhone bug fixes. I say yes to update iPhone, but it fails, says I have to Restore it. Okay, no biggie, guess I better make sure I have whatever I need off it first. Oh, can't get into it. Um, where does it sync all the photos, notes, contacts, etc I've been making.

It doesn't.

That is, I can configure it to talk to some Mac software, or to Outlook for contacts. I just assumed it backed it up into iTunes.

Gone.

The contacts suck, but I can recreate them.

But all my holiday photos and wine notes, seem gone.

Here it comes, rebooting.

Hold your breath.
