Can't find my iphone backup password

Where can I find my iphone backup password?

Where ever you put it. Though, writing down a password is very poor security practice. If you don't have a record of it, there's no way to recover it.

Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

I can't find my iPhone backup password on my iTunes. Help please?

I made no password for my iPhone backup, and when I went to restore, it told me I needed a password. Please help?

This sounds like something you should contact Apple about.
Or, you can always try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device.

The following claims the ability to extract Notes from a backup made using iTunes. I haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works. Once extracted the Notes would be readable on your computer but you would still need to get them back to the new phone. http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

I can't find my iPhone backup in Mac OS X Lion.

After upgraded to Lion, I can't find my iPhone backups any more at ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, but they still show up in iTunes though. Does anyone know where the new location is? Or it's now hidden?
Thanks!

from my understanding "other" are files/data that are not recognized by your Mac. Same with our iOS devices
Here's an example, Im a big anime fan so I have a folder with tons of animes having a format of .mkv
my mac does not recognize this that's why it falls under "others". Any file format that's not supported by your native Mac applications are considered others
If you want to know where these files are located, use "omnidisk sweeper"

You don't "find" it.
You either remember it or you don't.

Where can i find my Iphone backup within Itunes

To assure that calendar, contacts, pictures, movies are synchronized correctly from my Iphone > Itune, -where within Itune on my PC can I find and see the data assuring that I have a full backup ?
Did it in Itune via the - right click on Iphone - create security copy (in Swedish - skapa säkerhetskopia).
Need it secured since my Iphone is going for service (microphone disabled, head-set activated all the time).

Magnus - seems pasting you the info is a bit beneath some so here it is:
Where backups are stored
The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory

Where can i find my iPhone backups on Mac OS X Lion?

Hi,
I don't know how to find the "mobilesync" folder under Mac OS X Lion.
In Snow Leopard it was ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup..
But in Lion the MobileSync folder has dissapeared..
Does anyone know where I can find them?
Thanks!

Apple hid the User Library.
Click GO -> GO To Folder
Enter "~/Library" (without quotes) in the textbox. Click GO. This will take you to your User Library
Open the Application Support folder
Scroll down to the MobileSync folder
You should now see your Backup folder that you can open to view your backups.

Where can I find my iphone backup files in windows 7?

My computer died and all I have left is the hard drive. Fortunately it is in good working order and is readable. I successfully transfered all of my apps and music, but cannot find my pairing information. Consequently, I cannot sync my devices. Where are my iphone and ipad backup files located?

Hello Thom,
Good to hear that you are still able to recover information from your old hard drive. I found an article that provides the locations of the iOS backup files:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
You can find the full article here:

I hope this helps get you back on track!
Best,

You don't. If you do not know it, then you cannot use the backup.

How can I find the iphone backup files

I recently moved my iTunes files to an external hard drive and wiped my PC. In the meantime I had to replace my iPhone. Now I don't know how to restore all the apps, pics, etc to my new iPhone! Help!

The location of the backup file is :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
So it isn't in the iTunes directory, so you may not have copied it - if you did then copy it back to the same location on your computer.
If you copied the iTunes directory then you should have copies of your apps (though not their content) in a folder called Mobile Applications, if not then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

I can't access my iPhone backup(automatic encryption) so will have to set up phone as new. Haven't been able to work out what password A has allocated so will all future backups be also encrypted unless Apple finds a way around this?

I can't access my iPhone backup (automatic encryption by iTunes, not through choice!) so am resigned to setting my iPhone 4 up as new phone, because I can't determine which of my passwords has been allocated. Has anyone else gone down this path and will all future backups also be encrypted unless Apple works out a way around this or I can work out my password?

You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.
