I sync only a subset of my iTunes library to the phone. If I restore from iCloud backup, will that same subset be restored, or will iCloud try and stuff everything I’ve ever purchased from iTunes onto the phone?

I mistakenly thought that itunes didn’t register my previous backups. I forgot that my recent backup was done via the cloud. I am so thankful for this post man. Kudos

Itunes had gone south on me (what a surprise!) and wiped most of the content from the ipad. I thought, wait a minit… I have a cloud backup! I decided to undertake this risky operation. After an agonizing 10 minutes or so, it actually worked!

Seems they could just have a menu option to do a restore, but in Apple’s infinite wisdom, they chose not to. As much as I hate iTunes, I sure am glad this option was available.
