She is not amused..... I had a similar experience. The first time I tried to restore, it failed. Fortunately, the second time worked fine, but I freaked.

Nezmo The name's Bond. James Bond. Premium,MVM join:2004-11-10 Coppell, TX kudos:1	I realize Google has been developing their data for many years but Apple couldn't at least have used an established maps database? Maybe they have and their implementation is just bad? But even where the mapping is available the quality of the images are truly awful. That's before you worry about places missing, etc. Betting now Apple makes zero statements on this. Remember, they hardly ever admit when they've effed up. Maps is so integrated in so many apps this is a really bad move by Apple. -- My Gallery Formerly Nezmo

yabos join:2003-02-16 London, ON	They're using maps from TomTom and other sources. It's not very good though actually. There are a lot of places I've searched for that it can't find. It couldn't route me to the Toronto Zoo from my house. Plus I believe the Google Maps in iOS 5 had street view while the new Apple Maps doesn't. I hope they are dedicated to making this good, not just barely good enough.

Purchased videos aren't showing up either under the purchased tab. Download tab gone. They fixed stuff that wasn't broken and now it's WAY worse than it used to be. Apple is going backward again just as they did with Mountain Lion.

skeechan Ai Otsukaholic Premium join:2012-01-26 AA169\|170 kudos:2 Reviews: ·Cox HSI ·Clear Wireless	reply to Mike I'm going through the same thing with Youtube. My media "disappeared", wiped during the upgrade and despite being synced with itunes, my videos didn't actually get resynced. So when I was at the gym this morning I figured I'd just watch youtube...oh yeah, youtube app gone and the Web interface for youtube blows goat. So off to find the youtube app. Good luck. With the new giant thumbnails and NO LIST VIEW in search it makes finding Google's app impossible. It's buried in the 400+ results looking at them 4 at a time. Sort by relevance? Yeah, no where to be found. Popularity? Nope. Even going by "other stuff from google" you can't find it. I ended up finding it by doing a Google web search for a link to it in store but of course it won't DL because the app store is buried with traffic.
