Hi all: Quite recently, today in fact, I had opportunity to DFU my phone. As you may be aware, this resets the phone to factory defaults, installs the current public version of iOS, and makes you restore the phone from a backup. No problem, I backed up today before this became an issue, so all was good. However, when I restored, all of my folders came over, contents exactly where they should be, but I had 4 pages of apps instead of the 2 I had when I made the backup. It turns out the iTunes library has a bunch of apps I installed previously on my phone but have since uninstalled. So once the backup was restored, I was then also given all of the apps I didn't want on my phone any more.
Is there a way to make iTunes only restore the apps in a particular backup? I could have restored from iCloud and just had the apps that were on my phone, but this method seemed like it was going to be faster and it probably was. However, deleting 2 pages worth of apps wasn't how I wanted to spend a few minutes of my time this afternoon. Thanks in advance for any help/input.
