Cant figure out my password to restore iphone?

Cant figure out my password to restore iphone after backup. Want to restore to its computer setting but its asking for a password

Enter the password that you created when setting up encryption for the backup.
If you did not enable encryption, the backup is corrupt and cannot be used.
There is no way to bypass the encryption password.

  • I just downloaded the new itunes and i cant figure out how to update the apps on my iphone when im on my computer?

    I just downloaded the latest itunes and i cant figure out how to update my iphone apps on my computer now.  I go to the toolbar on the top and press search for updates and it tells me that the latest version of itunes is already downloaded or that there are no updates available at this time.  Previously, i would be able to go to the apps page on itunes and then press search for updates and then download all. Then I would sync with my phone and both phone and computer would be updated.  Now I can only update on the phone and I know Im going to encounter where it tells me the info for downloading is too large to do it on your phone, hence my first question.....where do I go to update my apps on my computer????

    While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates. 
    Clicking on each of these gives you a different view. 
    When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
    Hope this helps.

  • I probably misclicked when I activated the security lock on the iPhone and now I can not figure out what password I entered. Moreover, I have patches and funky looking phone so I can not restore iphine pres itunes. Please advice.

    Your only recourse is to force it into DFU mode:
    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

    Hey kevyg3,
    I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

    If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

    Did you erase it before you sold it?
    Settings> General > Reset - Erase all content & settings.
    Or did you leave all your personal info on it and give it to someone else?

    i just got the iphone 4s and i cant figure out how to get siri to work it seems to be the old voice command. HELP!

    Did you enable Siri in settings?

    If Siri is off, all you get when pressing the home button for 1 second is the old Voice Control.

  • I cant figure out how to reset my security password

    i cant figure out how to reset my security password so i cant buy any apps can anyone help

    If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • Can't figure out how to finish restoring icloud to my new iphone 5s

    Just left Apple store, and they started restoring my icloud.  Choice between Later/Finish Restoring. I chose "Later" to get to messages. Now I'm home and can't figure out how to finish restoring.  Went to settings, then icloud and could not find anything to continue the restoring. I'm connected to my home wi-fi now, just need help to finish restoring.

    It should resume automatically.  Make sure it's connected to wifi and your charger.
    If it doesn't, go to Setting>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tap Stop Restoring at the bottom.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on your device and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts.  This will start the restore over.
