Apple's entire iCloud setup and iPhone synchronization has been a hot mess since day one. Early on my wife lost all of her valuable address book contacts and all of her calendar entries for the mere act of taking one of our iPads off the iCloud service. None of the entries had been made on the iPad, in fact, all of them were made on her iPhone, which was never removed from iCloud. Apple's shitty software somehow decided the iPad "owned" the data and, once disconnected, it yanked all of it from iCloud, her iPhone and ever device she had synced. Pure crap. The same is true of this business where Apple will erase your phone if you dare connect to an iTunes installation that's not "blessed" even if all you want to use it for is to backup. What has always bothered me intensely about Apple is how arrogant they are with MY data and MY access to MY data. Who owns it?
