I've installed iTunes (on his PC, not mine) after this, but the problem
is that the restrictions code (a four digit number) is stored in the
backup as well.
I'm doing a restore now from iTunes (because you need the restrictions
code to do a factory reset) and see what happens. There's only a couple
of photos and videos there, plus the progress in games. The one game
that is most important (Pet Shop Story) stores the progress on the
manufacturer's servers. So I'm just having a go at it and see what happens.
But really, I don't know if it's just me, but I can't seem to work with
Apple products without something breaking spectacularly. No such
problems with my Android phone.
