iPhone OS4 Upgrade Woes

I am attempting an upgrade of my iPhone to the new OS version and have hit a snag.  You think Apple would make this a little bit easier.  Some of the woes:

 

1. "You have purchased content on this iPhone that hasn't been transferred to this computer"--solution?  Hit transfer, which I do, but the error doesn't go away.

2. "This iPhone failed to update"--Solution?  restart computer.  I did that, which led to number 3

3. "There is an iPhone connected to this computer that must be restored to update"--all my data was deleted--this is what chaps my hide the most.  I know have to go back and recustomize my entire phone.

Why is it so hard to sync apps and other data (such as music)?  I don't understand why Apple just doesn't have a remote restore option available where they keep track of all your purchases so you can easily download them again without a fee?

I'm lucky in that I've had years of experience dealing with server updates gone crazy, so I always Always ALWAYS backup before I do any major server (operating system) changes.  Thank goodness I did the same, here.

Apple, you have just disappointed me.
