Hi, Thanks for the suggestion and perhaps once things are all straightened out I wil. But I'm afraid I'll just have to reinstall everything and reconstruct, to the best of my ability, my contacts. I have 64 gigs, mostly filled with apps and music, and I thought that might be more than allowable on a free iCloud account.

After hooking up with at&t to change over to the new phone from my 4-s, I plugged the 5-s into itunes and tried to restore from the backup I had just made earlier yesterday morning, and I was asked for a password. I hadn't given a password when I made the backup. I tried my apple password, but that did not work. I then panicked and ceased any further attempt at the restoral. Now, I've got no contacts or apps on my new phone. It would be a real drag if all of my data is forever lost. Any ideas? If the worst comes to worst and I cannot use the backup I made, how do I get my apps and tunes from the i-store back, and what is the good of making backups anyway? Any ideas will sure come in handy. I was excited about the new phone, but went to sleep unhappily last night.
