A Thunder Struck on Me

What’s funny is that, after troubling with the iPhone restore the last time, within only a matter of a week I had to restore it again.

I was using it carefully, not to mess it up by doing something fishy. Of course it’s not jail broken and is used with purity in mind.

Then it happened.

Here, in my neighborhood, thunderstorms struck about 4 consecutive nights last week. I’m not afraid of the thunder much, as I used to as much as the earthquake. So, while it was flashy outside with the noise of rain and thunder, I was connecting the iPhone to my computer and installing an app.

Then, the blackout stepped in.

The power came back on eventually, but the iPhone never backed itself up after this. Waiting for several hours, but never finished. What I could do now was to do the restore, but iTunes said that the backup was corrupt… Now, my iPhone was clean again with all my data lost. The luck is that I didn’t have much data on it this time (as the last restore was performed less than a week ago (and that erased all my data)), so I mostly let it go erased.

Another lesson: Don’t fight with the nature.
