avon b7 said: I don't believe in Apple's ability to provide a solid cloud platform. There are too many 'buts' for me. The last time I tried to turn backup on for my wife, I got a warning message that 'some things' would not be backed up but it wouldn't tell me which ones. There are weird things that can happen with Photos etc.
Activity, Health, and Keychain data (To back up this content, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.)
Yes. I know about that document. Thanks for the link, all the same.
The problem is that the user isn't given that Information (or at least wasn't when I ran into the problem).
Giving cryptic messages for issues as important as backup, doesn't lend the user to trust the system.
In the days of the coloured CRT iMacs, the Apple inline help system was a work of art. There was a ton of information right there for the user in an easily accessible and simple format which didn't depend on an internet connection and the information was largely tuned to the machine it was on.
Things have changed for the worse since those days. The same has happened with the Apple Discussions boards.
There should be little use for genius bars. So much more 'help' should be channelled through Siri and the doubts raised by the dialog of iCloud backup should never have existed in the first place.
