Any way to bypass iPhone backup so I can upgrade to 2.1?

I'm really looking forward to upgrading my iPhone to 2.1, but in order to upgrade it has to backup the iPhone first. It's been running for an hour now and the progress bar has barely moved! At this pace it'll take at least 10 hours to backup! And if I receive a phone call, I'm screwed. Since this is my business phone, chances are really high that I'm going to get a call in the next several hours.
So is there any way to bypass the backup so I can install 2.1?

You're suggestion works if you don't mind rebuilding everything afterwards. I was able to restore to 2.1 in a few minutes, but the iPhone wouldn't pull in stuff from my last backup. Something about it being incompatible.
So now I'm in the process of rebuilding/updating everything. Luckily most of my stuff can quickly be added back like contacts, music, etc. All my email accounts are IMAP, so no big deal there either. And now since 3rd party apps update a LOT quicker, that part won't be so painful.

  • If I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?

    Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.  If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • Any way to bypass server certificate validation in AIR client?

    Is there any way to bypass certificate validation and server identification for secure Channels or ChannelSets? I am aware of the existing workaround to import my own certificate into the user's CA chain, but I feel that having greater control on the client-side is preferred.
    If there is not a way to bypass client-side certificate validation I will be filing this as a feature request at http://bugs.adobe.com
    Thanks,
    Karl
    When producing a client-server solution it is occasionally useful to override the default behavior of HTTPS certificate validation and server identification. I would like to request the ability to override these systems in the AIR environment for applications installed with the "UNRESTRICTED" system access option.
    Simply allowing the use of self-signed certificates without verification (perhaps signified by a secure protocol identifier other than "https") would provide adequate functionality, but some users may desire finer control.
    This issue is partly addressed by bugs FP-711 and FP-214 but I feel it is important that any enhancement include the BlazeDS Channel in the case that the AIR application has unrestricted system access.
    When deploying an AIR client application which is securely connected to a network appliance which is controlled by the same developer it is desirable to bypass the overhead of acquiring a PKI issued certificate for every customer. Independent, open-source, and not-for-profit developers could see increased ability to adopt the AIR platform with this improvement.
    When deploying a network appliance to be used with an AIR application the requirement for a PKI issued certificate complicates the deployment of the network appliance by requiring DNS access, and thereby requiring Internet connectivity. Some customer sites require network isolation.
    It is possible to generate a developer-specific certificate and import that certificate into the AIR client host's Trusted Root Certification Authorities list. This workaround deteriorates PKI best practices and complicates the installation of AIR software. It is not possible to depend solely on the ".air" packaging for installation with the added requirement to install a new CA on the user's host.
    Java provides the requested functionality by allowing developers to provide their own implementations of javax.net.ssl.TrustManager for verification and javax.net.ssl.HostnameVerifier for identification. We have used this technique to communicate over the SDEE protocol with Cisco IDS devices which do not usually have PKI issued certificates.

    Hi Robert,
    No specific option to controle TOP/First features use.
    However other options exist to control IQ resources.
    Eg. Query_temp_sopace_limit, Query_Time, Max_IQ_Threads_Per_Connection, Max_Cartesian_Result.

  • How do I delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices.  To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
    You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking.  You can only restore it to your device.  You can, of course, see your other iCloud data.

    I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
    1. Reboot
    2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
    3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
    (Type these commands very carefully)
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.

  • Is there any way to unlock iPhone besides using the slide?

    Is there any way to unlock iPhone besides using the slide? My vision impaired Dad is slowly learning to feel his way to the approximate position of the slide and learn how to flick his thumb to unlock the iphone. Is there any other way to unlock an iPhone from sleep?

    If you activate "Voiceover", your Dad can use the voiceover gestures to control the phone. These are different from normal gestures. For example, Unlock iPhone: Select the Unlock switch, then double-tap the screen.
    To learn about voiceover, see this: http://www.apple.com/iphone/how-to/#accessibility.using-voiceover

    - The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
    - What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.
