Temple Run 2 Reboot…

It's been a while since I've posted anything on this site.  I'll give you one hint as to why it has been so long…….

 

So, I guess I deserve this……  All it took for me to lose the last year of progress on this game was a series of carelessly constructed events along with a poorly crafted Apple iOS 8 software upgrade process….

Yes, you guessed it – I allowed myself to get screwed by the Apple iOS 8 upgrade…..  I (the IT guy..) did not have a backup of my phone prior to starting the upgrade….I was in a rush that day….. I didn't think anything would go wrong…. I put my trust in one of the largest software development companies on the planet…. I was connected to my WORK VPN (potential root cause) at the time of the upgrade…. I did not have iCloud turned on….

Yeah… fun times…. I lost everything on my phone that day…. hundreds of phot

os, all my settings and app configurations… thoroughly defeating… And, yes, if I spent enough time pouring through Apple support threads, speaking to Apple support, and going to the Apple Genius Bar, I assume someone would have been able to save the settings, but I needed my phone for work that morning… Yeah, in simple terms – it sucked….

And, what was I most upset about throughout this whole ordeal?  You got it, not the loss of the hundreds of photos, not the loss of my application settings…. the loss of my Temple Run 2 settings was catastrophic….  But, did this deter me from getting back to my achievements??  In my subsequent posts you'll get that answer… But for now, I'd love to hear about how many other people also had iOS 8 upgrade issues….
