Why can you not seem to do it? What happens when you try? Were you able to connect the device to a computer? Did you have the latest version of iTunes installed?

No I didn’t link the phone to a computer. I’m thinking I can transfer it all back the way I did when I got the new phone. ie reverse the action? I’ve got a horrible feeling I’m going to be stuck with this new phone cos I’ve loaded all my data on it, but don’t like it cos the handset is too small. I’ve arranged a send back but haven’t heard anything yet. But just need to remove my data from the phone before sending it back x
