After installing IOs5 restoring iPad backupfile stops because ''password incorrect" - what to do?

i tried to passcode i used before installing IOs5 to protect access ( a 4 number PIN code) - that didn't work
i used the iTunes Store password - didn'twork neither
has anybody experienced the same problem and found a soloution?
thanks for you help!

hello Glenn
in the meantime i found out by trial and error that i had made a password for it - i am sure because of the password that worked in the end was constructed for it ...
and yes, i got all my stuff back
the issue was that it was some time ago already and i simply forgot it, nor had written it down
it is worthwhile trying the kind of password you would consider using for the back-up ...
good luck!
Albert

After installing IOS5 my iPad runs slower and crashes often when I have safari or any application opened. Is apple working on fixing this issue? is it happening to most of you or just me?

I appreciate any information you can provide. Using this device is getting annoying !

I'm using mine right now to answer you and I've not had the issues you are having. Have you tried a Restore from Backup?

After installing ios7, my ipad buttons stopped working, I can't even turn off the ipad. Please help me. I don't know what to do.

Try to reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the
Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot
normally.

After installing iOS5, my IPad no longer accepts my accesscode (I'm sure it is the right one)

Why doen my IPad no longer accept my accesscode (and I'm sure it is the right one !!)

Ooops.
I upgraded my 10.6.8 system to 10.7.5. ..No problem, but my practice is to connect an ESATA dock to my macpro. install to the drive in the doc, use migration assistant to migrate my data and apps.   use the os in the doc for 2 weeks, if no issue then I delete the OS partiton in my Internal System Drive, do a carbon copy clone to the internal drive.
I just did the similar to upgrade to mavericks.   I installed to a new hardrive in my docking station.   (black widow esata dock). I noticed 10.9.1 is slow stayed with 10.7.5 as my operating system. now and then I would boot 10.9.1 fire up the console utility and fix the issues that made it slow....
Now I am at the "burn in stage" mavericks is now running fast and stable.   I'll use all my apps and if it does not break with the applications I run I will eventaully cc my 10.7.5 OS drive to the docking station, file the drive away.. and take my 10.9.1 drive in the doc and cc it to my internal system drive.
I always wipe out a partion when installing a new OS. Zeroing out is a bit more thorough, you will know if your drive is junk... but it's overkill for me.
I figured repartion is ok.
I'm 2 weeks away from doing a carbon copy clone from my 10.9.1 os drive in my dock to my internal drive.
by the way.. I am running Mavericks on a 8 core macpro 2,1. I have a modified bootloader that has an arbitration layer EFI32 to/from EFI64 emulated.
pretty cool.
And from new system standards, the old macpro stacks up pretty well:

IPad 1 got very slow after installing ios5

After I have installed ios5 my iPad 1 got very slow. I press the settings button and wait for 5 seconds to appear.
Any ideas?

First, we need to accept that the iPad will be slower under iOS5 than iOS4. This is a standard situation, caused by each iOS upgrade being optimized for the newest iDevices – which have much faster processors. (You should see how slow an iPhone 3G is under iOS4!)
Mine isn't dreadfully slow, but it is slower than under iOS4. Apple's ideal solution would be to upgrade to the iPad 2; assuming that (like me) you don't want to do this, the best way to speed up the iPad is to do a soft reset. (This has helped me in almost every situation where the iPad--or my iPhone--got very slow, or had too many crashes.) Hold down the Home button and the Sleep button until the screen first goes black, then shows a white apple symbol. It takes a while to finish resetting, but it clears most of the data that cause the slowdown.
To my surprise, by the way, it appears that shutting the device off (hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" bar appear, then slide) does not do as complete a job resetting the iPad as the soft reset.

Restore as new, i.e. without your backup.

Cant find i i life after installing it and iphoto has stopped working

cant find i i life after installing it and iphoto has stopped working

If it is a new Mac then iLife came preinstalled on it
As to searching for iLife - it is not an application - it is a suite of five applications - iPhoto - iMovie - IDVD - iWeb - Garage Band -- http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC623Z/A/iLife-11?fnode=NDQ5MDg0MA&mco=MjA4Nzk 4OTQ
Do you have these five applications in your applications folder?
what happens when you launch them?

After installing ios5 and having had to change my apple id to e-mail address I am unable to download updates as they were purchased under my previous id and it will not allow me to get back into the old id Help please.

Make sure you enter your new Id in settings/message, settings/facetime. ANy content that you downloaded with the old ID is forever linked to that old ID and if you have apps that were downloaded with the old ID and you want to update them you can only do that with the old ID. You could delete those apps and downlad them again ( and pay for them if they are not free apps)

Please help me

I opened a new user on my computer yesterday with administrative privledges. I then opened up an itunes account from this new user. It seemed to go pretty well. I haven't downloaded any new songs yet or moved them to my account. I don't know how to move songs yet. I'm reading iPod and iTunes for Dummeies. Very appropriate for me. I will let you know when I manage to do this and am successful. Once again, thank you for your kindness and help. Kay 205

I lost my Ical and some of my contacts after installing ios5 on my iphone and saving on icloud

I lost my Ical and some of my contacts after installing ios5 on my iphone and saving on icloud. Please help!

I had the same problem and just figured out how to fix it. Go into your setting screen and then iCloud and turn off the contacts option. Then click on keep on iPhone. I did this and now all my contacts are back. YEAH!!!

After installing iOS5 the syncing from iPhone to PC does not update PC. PC to iPhone is okay. Anyone having same problem and/or solution?

After installing iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I am having a problem syncing Calendar, Contacts etc. If I say add something in Calendar on my iPhone it will not sync to my PC, even though is says it is. However if I add something to my Calendar on my PC (using Outlook) it will sync to my iPhone. Anyone having the same issues and/or solution?

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Where did you get the phone? If it was previously locked to a carrier and was hacked/jailbroken to use it on a different carrier, updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize and unlock.

Honestly, I doubt anyone is really going to take the time to read the novel you have written.
