Apple has released it's biggest update in history for iOS and it's called iOS 11 and of course in the mix of all that, they've also released some new Phones the 8 and X (10)...
First of all the iOS update to 11 being the biggest update to date should scare the HELL out of you and like any update we tell you, DON'T DO IT...
Especially an update that boasts how BIG it is should be a RED FLAG for you to stop drop roll and cover...
You don't want to update to iOS 11, there are too many problems with the update, and very personal problems...
Eating up your battery, frozen devices and lost VM'z, that's right, if you have sentimental VM'z you're at risk of losing them...
Apple had a workaround for recovering your VM'z, but come to find out, it's not working and people are what they call, S.O.L. (Shit out of Luck)...
sidenote: For the Millennials, we know that's two OO'z but you don't count conjunctions
The Good news is that you did a backup and you can recover your VM'z from your backup, you did do a backup didn't you...
Backup saves your ass, and your composure, because the first thing people do when a problem happens is they lose their mind and start blaming everyone and everything for a decision they made ALL ON THEIR OWN...
That's right, you decided to update and you decided not to do a backup, so look in the mirror because you're the problem, not the CSR on the other end of the phone and not Apple...
You can rest assured that Apple already updated to iOS 11 on their test phones before they introduced the update to the public, but they always test on best case scenarios, with the cleanest and fastest of networks and internet...
So it works, but not all phones are worthy of an update and not all users are worthy of updating their phone...
We have not updated yet and we are not going to update until the bugs are worked out or until they come out with 11.1 :-D and even then we'll proceed with caution...
What else what else, oh yeah, the iPhone 8's bezels are falling off and Apple isn't giving an explanation as to why...
Our guess they cut corners in production to keep costs down and ended up with bezels that fall off, but that's just a guess based on history...
The nice thing is Apple will replace your bezeless phone with a new phone, so Apple really stepped up there, so kudoz to you Apple...
As for us, we've got our eye on that iPhone X, simply because Apple finally removed that lint/popcorn crumb/burger catching home button, FINALLY APPLE!!!
Should have been done LONG AGO, because it looks so slick, but our name doesn't end in Jones, so we won't be pre-ordering and we won't be the first one to buy the phone when it hits the shelf, because we know how Apple operates and it's best to wait...and that's a fact!
**UPDATE**
Latest Problems with iOS 11 update is causing problems with Windows 10 and iTunes 12.7...
Error 3503 people updating to iOS 11 get stuck in recovery mode then they can't restore...
We're curious if this error is happening with the Surface Products, if we had to guess we'd say...NO...
We guessed that Apple used best case scenarios to practice on their iOS update and probably didn't use an M3N72-D ASUS board that was updated from 7 to Windows 10...
If we had to guess, we'd say it's old hardware getting in the way of new software, what have you found out...

The Most Overused Word of 2017...
DECADE
The Media is the worst with this word, it's like they've never heard of it before, and it was picked as their word of the day, and it just stuck...
They use it anyway they can...
It's been going on for at least a decade...
It's been going on for at least a half a decade...
It's been at least 2 decades...
It's been going on for almost a decade...
It's been multiple decades...
It's been multiple decades...
...and it just continues from there...
FYI: Decade means 10 years...
FYI: Decade means 10 years...
Well we've just created a new Drinking Game for you...
Every time you hear someone say decade, you have to drink, should take you about 10 minutes to be S*@#t faced...
Saying Decade doesn't make you sound any smarter, it's equivalent to people saying, DAT-A...
They've been collecting the DAT-A for at least a Decade...:-D:-D:-D

On iPhone, what's the difference between Sync and Backup...
That's where our question began...
Backup's the name, recovery's the game, and if you want to see if your backup is worth a S*#!, try restoring your device, computer, Server to challenge it...
Don't be afraid, if you trust your software then you should be able to restore a system anytime you want, and in record time...
The computer or server is going to take the longest to restore, but at tops, 30 minutes to be back online exactly like you were before you started...
There is always additional time for tinkering to make sure the software and printers are lined up, but 30 minutes in the worst case scenario...
Devices, like iPhones and Tablets should be much quicker, 15 minutes tops to restore...
Our iPhone from factory reset to restore was 10 minutes, and that was with a reboot...
How To Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
There was something strange that happened, for some reason the device couldn't be recognized once it was reset, we had to restart our PC in order for iTunes to recognize the device...
We think it has something to do with putting a password into the phone from the welcome screen, it might have hidden the trust window, or it was the auto-lock, not sure...
We have heard of people having issues with leaving their Malware Programs running while restoring, but we didn't have any issues...
We did disable the Webroot program to see if that was blocking iTunes, but it wasn't, so we just restarted and it connected...
One odd thing, the rule of thumb to backup is that you DO NOT LOSE DATA, and we did...
We sent out a text just before we backed up our device, and once it restored, we noticed that the text was not there...
Not sure why that was, but for customers we used to write a text note on the desktop of a Windows machine for customers to show them that they don't lose data with recovery or system restore, and every time that file was right on the desktop...
So Apple, you need to work on that...
The Apps took the longest to install, that part took a little longer than the restore of 10 minutes, but they just do their own thing in the background, add about 10 extra minutes for that...
Outlook wanted you to retype your email address and password, a couple of notification settings questions, but everything was there...
We have to say that we were impressed with the restore feature of Apple's backup for the iPhone and can safely say if you have kept your programs up to date, you shouldn't have a problem...
We made sure that iTunes was up to date before we did our backup, made sure the phone was up to date before we did our backup, and even the iOS came back to 10.3.3, just like before...
We have heard that other people didn't have the latest iOS when they restored, all we can say is that it might have been that you didn't have the latest iOS to begin with...
Oh yeah, what's the difference between Sync and Backup, here's an article that sums that question right up...
https://appletoolbox.com/2013/06/ios-difference-between-sync-and-backup/
If you're going to trust your device, you've gotta trust your backup...and that's a fact!
**UPDATE**
FYI This was all done on a Window 7 machine, come to find out that's the best OS to do your backup with for iPhone...
The Word is with Windows 10 is where the problem begins, but not so much with Windows 10 so much...
Apparently, if you buy a system with Windows 10 and iTunes already loaded on it, you won't have any problems, but if you load iTunes after the fact, that's where the problem begins...
It's not just one or two computers, it's a widespread panic of events...
Now as good as people think they are out there with backup we know they aren't, even Millennials think they are smarter than their elders, but they still try to text and drive :-D...
VOICE ON HANDS OFF M's...
We however have a challenge on the table that this old ass ASUS board will last until 2020, with Window 7, and it won't be easy...
Our Chipset has been failing for the last two years, and it's getting worse, but we're persistent...
As far as we know this is only a Windows 10 issue, not an Apple problem...
We're working on getting a Windows 10 machine to challenge this so called problem with Backup...tbc...
We always like to leave em' singin'...

**UPDATE**
There are two possible reasons why the Restore is not working with a machine that iTunes was loaded after the fact...
First of all, think about "after the fact" you have to load iTunes after loading Windows, regardless if it's Windows 10 machine off the shelf or...an upgraded system...
We'll put money on it that Backup/Restore is failing due to two reasons...
One, the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is causing the problem with iTunes, we suggest, uninstalling iTunes, upgrade to Windows 10 then reload iTunes...
Second, the upgrade to Windows 10 from 7 was done with their malware program still installed...
Malware programs are meant to protect Windows files from being altered, so if you're upgrading to Windows 10, your altering the Windows files and the Malware program could be affecting it...
For a sure fire way to get it to work, uninstall your Malware Program and iTunes, upgrade to Windows 10 then reinstall iTunes then your malware program...
However, the third way leaves a question open, so if you want to have fun and if you have time, do it both ways, I bet it'll fix the issue...

Rules for Radicals...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals
"Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left from the President on down is playing by his rules in the political arena"
…First rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
…The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people.
…The third rule is: Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
…The fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
…The fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
…The sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
…The seventh rule is: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag
…The eighth rule: Keep the pressure on.
…The ninth rule: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
…The tenth rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
…The eleventh rule is: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counter side.
…The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
…The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
