HT201269 Restoring my Iphone copy with a password protected backup.

I backed my Iphone 5 to the computer when trying to restore it to my new Iphone 5S it is prompting me for a password. I did not put a password on my backup copy - how do I undo that?

It sounds very much like you chose to set an encryption password in iTunes for your backup.
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

Restore it using the computer it normally syncs with, this should not require an iOS update.

Somebody help!

What happened when you connected your iPhone to your computer while running iTunes on your computer? You should be prompted through the restore process. If it doesn't work try getting your iPhone into Recovery Mode.

Is it possible to restore an iPhone 4s with iOS 7 from a backup of an iPhone 3GS that uses iOS 6?

So for Christmas I am upgrading to a new iPhone and so therefore I am giving my iPhone 4s to my younger brother. He currently uses an iPhone 3GS with iOS 6 installed. I currently have iOS 7 installed on the iPhone 4s but am considering upgrading to iOS 8.1.1. I was wondering if it is possible to when restoring my iPhone 4s to then set it up from the back up of the iPhone 3GS that runs iOS 6, when they run on different operating system updates. Will it work when the iPhone 4s is running iOS 7 or iOS 8, or both, or neither?
Thank you.

Yes, but the reverse won’t work.

Can you sync/ restore an iPhone 5 with ios6 using backup data from an iPod touch 4g running ios5?

Ok! So I've preordered my first iPhone ever, the iPhone 5. I will finally be letting my iPod touch go!
I've synced my iPod touch 4g to iTunes so that once I receive the iPhone, I can plug it in and restore and sync all my purchased apps, etc. However, the iPod touch is on ios 5. I do not plan to update and back it up on ios6. Will there be any issues. When I try to restore my iPhone 5 on iOS 6 using data from a iPod touch 4g that ran ios5?

It should be fine. I restored my new iPod Touch from the backup of my iPad. You will have to reenter keychain items like passowords since keychain items only restore back to the same device unless you use an encrypted backup. The iOS of the target device (phone for you) has to be at lest as great as that of the source device.

TS4268 I updated my iphone 5 to the new ios 7, well now my imessages and facetime wont work!! I have tried everything! So went to go restore my iphone throw itunes and well the backup was taking hours, so i went to cancle it now it wont do anything!!

Need help!! How do i cancle my backup? It wont let me do anything! Trying to get my imessages and facetime to work

Hi Natasha,
Below is a copy of my post in another thread on this topic. I'm not sure which country you are from, but hope it's helpful.
Possible fix for Australian users on Telstra and using Tango
I'm using the iPhone 5S with iOS 7.0.1 on a contract with Telstra in Australia and have been experiencing the problem with iMessage and FaceTime not activating. My iPhone 4S on iOS 6 worked perfectly on the same network however.
I seem to have now fixed this issue by removing the Tango app (it is similar to Skype). Reading through this thread and seeing the refernces to TuGo triggered my solution, although I believe the 2 apps are entirely unrelated (just have a similar sounding name).
This fix may have been co-incidental, given that I had to wait quite a while for a sync with iTunes to complete. After syncing, I didn't check the settings for Messages and FaceTime to see if they had been activated. I just went straight to the Tango app on the iPhone and deleted it - hey presto, instantly both Messages and FaceTime were activated.
Hope this helps others in Australia who may have Tango installed, and are on the Telstra network.

Need to restore but can't cuz of password protect

i was listening to music and tried to open an app and the app crashed so i restarted my phone. when it started back up it says "restore needed iphone cannot make or receive calls"
so i plug it into my computer and itunes says "could not connect to your iphone because it is locked with a passcode, enter passcode to use itunes"
im very ****** off so can someone help me out on what to do

that was my problem. when itunes said enter passcode to continue, i couldn't because my phone said must restore.
i called support and they said i have to have the newest itunes (which i didn't) and she told me to use something called forceful recovery mode or something
1. turn phone off
2. start itunes
3. hold home button on phone
4. plug phone into computer and itunes will bypass the passcode entry

Backup is locked with a password protect and i didnt set one...help

HELP MY BACKUP IS PASSWORD PROTECTED AND I DIDNT SET ONE AND NOW I CANT RESTORE MY MUSIC/PICS/ETC.....

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

Restored my iphone but it wont load the backup.

Hi. I restored my iphone making sure I backed it up before I did. There were no problems with the back up and it said it was successful. However after the restore I click on 'restore from the back up of 'name of backup'' and it starts to sync but then says it could not load the back up as the back up failed.
Is tehre any other way to load this back up?

I'm sorry, but I'm having a little trouble understanding you. You say it won't restart? Or are you saying something else. I am not aware of any program that Apple has that helps to restart a phone. So if you try to restore based on the support document that I provided you, what happens?

How do I restore a password-protected backup?

How can I restore a backup that's password protected?
Problem steps:
1) I had a password-protected iPad receiving push email from my company for more than a year.
2) This morning, I had to re-enroll it and change the password to meet more stringent standards.
3) The change said it was successful, but after the iPad went to sleep and I woke it up, it didn't recognize the new password.
4) It also didn't recognize the old password.
5) It also didn't recognize the original 4-digit password that I'd put on the machine when I first got it.
6) I went to our mobile device management webpage and issued the clear password command while my iPad was connected to the wifi network.
7) The MDM page announced that the command had been sent successfully.
8) The iPad never prompted me for a new password.
9) It still didn't recognize the old password.
10) It still didn't recognize the original password.
11) I had to let the iPad wipe itself clean after ten mis-tries so I could restore from last week's backup.
12) When I issue the restore command, I'm prompted for a password. It says that the old password (and the original password and the new password) are all incorrect and won't do a restore.
When I plugged the iPad in this afternoon to find out when my latest backup was (after I had discovered that it was having problems), could it have transferred the corruption from the iPad to the Mac's backup file? The backup file still has last week's date on it. I have a complete disk backup of the Mac from earlier last week as well as it's connected to a Time Machine backup. What can I do to get my data back?
I've got two books I've been annotating since last summer so I can create presentations about them and teach from them, and now everything's gone.
This is an iPad 1, running iOS 5.0.0.
The Mac is a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8

Found it.
The restore password is not the same as the passcode to access the iPad. (After putting 6-digit codes in all day, I think I'd been conditioned to continue using those codes.) I found the backup password in the Keychain.

How can I set up SMB file sharing to share my PC external hard drive on my Mac with no password protection?

I am having the worst trouble with two things. I am very aware how to get the server to show up via SMB, but every time I log off the Macbook, the server's disappear. OK, so I went into "System Preferences" and hit "Users and Accounts" and added the server as a log in item. Worked well, except how do I stop that password prompt from coming up? I am using a Guest account with no password but I continue to get the password prompt. There is nowhere to hit remember password or anything. I have the option to remember the password in the keychain but I have no way of preventing the pop up.
Another issue I'm having is I have a Canon Pixma MP620 printer connected to my PC through USB. Three other PC's can connect wirelessly to print through the home network. My Mac does not find the printer, and when I manually add it, it recognizes it but WILL NOT print. It comes up with error messages like Authentican Required and connection issues between printers.
I have no password protection on my PC and have enabled sharing of all devices and folders through the Homegroup on the PC. I just can't figure it out. I am new to Mac and would love to get these two things figured out.
Thanks in advance for reading!

Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

Iphone cant connect to password protected networks

Hi, my iphone connects to non password networks very easily. However when its protected by a password i can't log in even if the hep key is correct.
I've done everything from resetting the network settings, typing the ip address, and so on.
Thank you for your help

"Wrong Password" is not one of iOS's error messages. So where are you seeing this? Have you tried taking it ot the GenusBar to be looked at?
Are you entering your system account or AppleID password to logon to WiFi networks? If so that will not work. you have to use the specific user name and or password each specific network. Do you have accounts on any of these networks you have tried to connect to?

Iphone 4S with iOS6 will not backup to icloud

when trying to backup my iphone 4s with iOS6 to icloud i get this error message "the last backup could not be completed". my last backup was on 9/22 around the time i downloaded iOS6, not sure the date it was downloaded. i have plenty of space for the backup. i have tried several user suggestions from the support community but nothing working. i connected to computer/itunes, hit backup and same error message. i deleted my last backup (9/22) as suggested by one user and tried again, nope, didn't work. my ipad 1 (not using iOS6) will backup to icloud no problem. any other ideas/suggestions? thanks
