It's been a huge pain to transfer to my new iPhone. Several days there's still a lot to do.
I hope I never have to log into iCloud again. It has questions I cannot remember the answers I gave. Where do I go to reset that??? Good Riddance Anyway!!! But the funny thing is somehow it seems I did get on once to get my contacts transferred--it appeared to be the only way. But it doesn't remember that I got on once and keeps demanding that I log in again.
iCloud is inextricably linked to things you might want, like transfer stuff to new phone, so if you can't get on iCloud you are stuck with hard to find ways of transferring to the new device.
Fortunately I've found that my Apps are only secured through my Apple ID, which I can remember. I can re-download them one by one just by entering that--a big relief. But that's going to be a lot of work.
Kindle is a big pain, because on top of having to enter ancient email address (and I have to remember which one) and password (thankfully Amazon doesn't force you to keep changing so its one of the few things I can actually remember) you have to enter the stupid letters, which are almost impossible to read. Then, if you get anything wrong, it clears your password, and you have to start all over again. The error message is garbled unless you scroll back to the top of the screen. Did anyone at Amazon actually try this, assuming you might get something wrong? It's unclear which button to press (Done? Go?). The Login button is at the bottom of the screen, which you don't see unless you scroll all the way down there. Then, if there's an error at the top (which you don't see because you just scrolled down to the bottom) pressing login does nothing. Fortunately after about 45 minutes of trial and error, and logging into my Amazon account on a computer to remember my registered email address, and also be sure of my password, I got my Kindle library on the new iphone.
Why do they force you to use those letters anyway? Isn't that completely redundant?
