i cannot restore my iphone4 from back up as it says wrong password even if it is right password. what should i do?

If it says wrong password, evidently what you're typing isn't it. Remember it is CaSe SenSiTiVe, a zero is not an Oh, a one is not the letter l and spaces count.
And make sure you're typing in the same language keyboard it was originally typed in.

I can't upgrade my iphone4 from iOS5.01 to iOS5.1, tried many times, always showed "unknown error 1602", what should I do?

I can't upgrade my iphone4 from iOS5.01 to iOS5.1, tried many times, always showed "unknown error 1602", what should I do?

Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

I have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

i have to restore my phone from back up but in order to do it i had to update my software. now that my software is updated there isnt enough room on the phone to back up. is there a way to only restore certain things from the backup like contacts?

Because it says it's incompatible when it can't be, I got hope. I get error messages all the time with my iPod and iPhone that it cannot sync and that 'this device is not capapble of connecting to iTunes' stuff. I literally forget that happened, plug it in again and it works, I later realize that iTunes made a mistake, they do that.

Hello! I've seen a lot of threads about restoring via iTunes but haven't found my particular situation yet. So hopefully someone can give me some insight into my predicament. I updated my iPhone 4S with io7 and my wifi broke. So I got a new iPhone 4S with ios6 loaded on it. I want to keep ios6 until Apple can figure out how to fix the wifi/bluetooth chip running hot. I backed up my phone right before I swapped to the new 4S. But when I try to restore from backup it won't let me because the backup I did was with ios7 and it wants me to upgrade my ios6 to ios7. Obviously I don't want to do that only to have my new phone break again.
Options I see is pay for some 3rd party software that can restore my contacts, texts, etc. Upgrade to ios7 and pray it doesn't break again. Get a new phone.
But I don't like any of those options. I want to keep ios6 until they make me upgrade it.
Anyone have any ideas???
Apreciate the help in advance.

Cannot restore a mailbox from Time Machine

On the recent Yosemithe I cannot restore a mailbox from my Time Machine backup. I proceed exactly as described in the Mail (Yosemite): Restore mailboxes and their content article. However, nothing happens after the process window completes. The restored content does not appear anywhere.
Any ideas?

Although you can restore messages from a Time Machine snapshot within the Mail application, it generally won't work with messages that were saved by an obsolete version of Mail. In that case, you have to use an alternative method.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are subfolders representing your Mail accounts. The names refer to the email addresses you use.
Enter Time Machine and scroll back to the snapshot you want. Select the account folders you want and then select Restore ... to... from the action menu (gear icon) in the toolbar of the snapshot window. Restore the folders to the Desktop, not to their original location.
From the Mail menu bar, select
          File ▹ Import Mailboxes...
Choose Apple Mail as the format and import from the mailboxes in the folders you restored to the Desktop. The imported messages will appear in a new mailbox. Move the ones you want to keep wherever you like and delete the rest. Then delete the folders on the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

HT1766 how to restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

how to restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted. You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open. If it does, you're off and running. What methods have you tried?

You just changed Contacts in GMAIL and I cannot restore my contacts from the previous version. I followed your instructions but it did not restore close to 500 contacts that i have which are in the Other Contacts area.

Hi robertsjohn125,
Contacts are not managed in Firefox, unless you are taking about Firefox Desktop and Firefox Hello?
Where do you manage your contacts, this might help direct you to the correct support.

Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook

Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook. What should I do?

I'm having the same problem as well. I use keychain access often to remind me of my passwords and was happy (initially) to see one for "iphone backup". When I entered it I got the same error message:
"The password you entered to unlock your iPhone backup file was incorrect. Please try again."
Really frustrating.
I searched many ways online, finally I tried "iPhone Backup Unlocker" to help me unlock encrypted backup password efficiently!

HT201328 I have an iPhone4 from softbank in Japan, I want to use any carrier sim here in Philippines, what if Softbank in Japan is not offering unlocking iPhone. What can I do?

I have an iPhone4 from softbank in Japan, I want to use any carrier sim here in Philippines, what if Softbank in Japan is not offering unlocking iPhone. What can I do?

All you can do is sell your iPhone to someone in Japan and buy another iPhone. Only the carrier can authorize unlocking, and Softbank does not unlock iPhones.
Regards.

I created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the dev

i created a password to my iPad as a parental restriction, but my daughter played with it and pushed the wrong password 10 times my ipad was disabled, what should i do, since it wont sync with itunes becoz it will just say, cannot sync files becoz the device is password enabled, Please somebody helpme

If you are talking about the passcode that gains access to the iPad - you will have to restore your iPad in order to unlock it. You will want to use the last computer that you synced with so that you can recover all of your app data, settings, etc. this explains how to restore the iPad. At the end of the process restore from your backup as described.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If iTunes will not let you restore that way, you may need to use recovery mode to restore, and you can read about that process here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
IF - you are talking about a restrictions pass code that you put on the device to restrict content or downloading apps or something like that - you do not want to restore from the backup - because that backup will contain the passcode that you cannot remember and you will end up where you started.

These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
