How can I remove the encryption from the iPhone backup without restore

I have not lost any data yet, I recovered it from icloud, but I cannot remove the encryption check and restore from I cloud at the same time, if I restore then the encryption returns...
please don't ask me why I forgot the password i did the setup 3 years back and now i have no idea what I put ,,, its surely none of the passwords I usually use, and I have been trying to figure it out for two weeks now averaging 20 passes a day,,, you get my frustration....
I guess apple should provide an option to remove the encryption requirement for future backups with a simple Apple ID / Apple pass and for god sake delete all the encrypted backups for all I care, but don't keep us trying for another 3 years ... pleeeeeaaase

I have just taken a look at the general posts here and I do understand that you are a top contributer and the noticeable part is that most of the questions are really very basic...
please understand that I have done my research and have done lots of trials including a bruit force run of 3 days to try and get this overwith, obviously posting this question here means that i have failed, and that I'm looking for a more positive response from the apple community ( rather than the usual "Give Up" statement ...)
thanks wjosten for your understanding ...

    Put in the restrictions passcode, and then Disable Restrictions.
    Otherwise, you can't.  That's the ENTIRE purpose of a passcode lock.

  • How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

    How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

    I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
    Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
    Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

    How can I remove all photos from my iphone?

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:

    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.

  • How can I remove the iPhone finder off of my phone, how can I remove the iPhone finder off of my phone

    how do I remove the iphone finder from off my home screen?

    Hold an icon until they all wiggle, the tap the "x" in the corner
    The app has nothing to do with tracking the iphone on which it is installed.  It only allows you to find your other devices from your iphone.

  • How can I remove a "jailbreak" from my iPhone?

    I bought a used 4S 32GB locally to upgrade from my 16GB iPhone 4 and the problem I am having is that it is "jailbroken" and has "Cydia" on it.
    I don't want this and want to make it completely stock again. I can't delete it directly from the phone. I wanted to know that if I connect it to my computer  and used restore in iTunes, will it go back to normal? can it mess up anything on the phone? what should I do?

    You can try putting the iPhone into DFU mode and see if that will let you restore and remove the jailbreak:
    http://osxdaily.com/2010/06/24/iphone-dfu-mode-explained-and-how-to-enter-dfu-mo de-on-your-iphone/
    Some jailbreaks cannot be removed and in some cases will permanently disable your iPhone. If that happens to you, then you will have to buy a new iPhone; Apple will provide no support, warranty or out-of-warranty, for a jailbroken device.
    I would instead suggest that you return the iPhone, get your money back, and purchase an iPhone from an authorized reseller, unlocked if that's what you wish to have.
    You're on your own from here. We can provide no further help with a jailbroken iPhone in these forums.
    Good luck.

  • How can I copy the iPhone backup files to another iTunes Library?

    I'm changing to my Window laptop from a PC. I want to copy my iPhone backup to the Library in the laptop. How can I find those backup files? I don't want to lose my apps and everything, you know.

    This article will tell you where your iPhone backup is stored on your computer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 iTunes content is NOT part of the iPhone backup. You can either copy your iTunes library to your new computer, or you can re-download your purchased iTunes content(except ringtones) to your new computer; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527

  • HT1414 how can I access my contacts from my iphone backup

    I backed up my iphone onto my imac. How can I access the contacts, or can I?

    You can plug a new phone in and restore the backup from your computer. As has already been stated, however, contacts are NOT part of the backup. If they were restored when you restored your phone previously, they either had to come from an address book on your computer or a cloud service you were syncing to (Exchange, Yahoo, gmail, etc.).
    Most likely, you set up the contact sync when you first got your phone and never thought about it again. Just because you don't actually open and use the address book on your computer doesn't mean it isn't there.
    On Windows, look in Windows Address book or Outlook. If you had an Exchange account, Yahoo account, or G-Mail account (set up as Exchange), look at the contacts on the server.
    Even if you could save contacts to the SIM, you would only get a small fraction of the information that can be entered for each contact.

  • How can I remove songs purchased from my iPhone while retaining the music in my iMac's iTunes library?

    I have an iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) and have puchased an album from iTunes using only the iPhone. I have since synchronized the album with my iTunes library on my iMac (OS 10.8.3). I no longer want to have this particular album on my iPhone, yet I do want to retain it for my iMac's iTunes library. I've tried deleting the album directly on my iPhone and then synchronizing it with a new iPhone playlist which no longer includes that album. This unwanted album on my iPhone keeps showing up even though the songs specificed for my iPhone playlist don't include that music. I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

    1) in the main panel of iTunes - make sure Only sync checked music (or something like that) is checked
    2) in the Music pane of iTunes - uncheck the songs you dont want on the phone - or check only the songs you do want on the phone if nothing is already checked
    3) sync your phone - the music you no longer want on the phone should be removed but still exist on your iMac

  • How can i remove the email account without deleting the email account?

    Hi
    I have an old email account which I want to remove from Mail, which I know how to do.  However I don't want to delete these emails but rather park them off-site so that if I ever need them again I can easily re-import.  By removing the email account in preferences it says it will delete all the emails etc. from my computer.  Is my only solution to copy the emails to a different location, then delete the account and if needed re-import at a later date?
    Thanks
    David

    You can do a couple of things.
    You can Export the emails to a .mbox file then Import them in which will create an Import folder in Mail; then delete your email account. Or you can just disable the email account leaving it in your list of accounts only disabled.

  • How can I REMOVE the iPhone Tethering Hack completely ?!

    <Edited by Host>
    How can I completely REMOVE the tethering hack from my iPhone, and from iTunes/iMac ???
    _*I WANT TO REMOVE IT, COMPLETELY*_
    • Do I have to reinstall OSX in order to regain my default settings in iTunes, and Terminal?
    • Since i had to put this (defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE) inside the terminal for the hack, can i just edit that?
    +Somebody Please help. This hack is making my phone unstable, and unreliable.+

    Lots of misinformation floating around:
    1. You don't need to do anything to iTunes. You changed a property value that allowed iTunes to let you see the IPCC file and install it.
    You can leave this, it is not hurting anything, just don't go looking to install IPCC files (iPhone Cell carrier file).
    2. This is not making your iPhone unstable. AT&T will release this same file when they allow tethering.
    3. If you want to get rid of it, you have 2 choices install an official AT&T carrier file (there is not one released for 3.0 yet), Or just restore your iPhone with Official 3.0 software but don't restore the backup. Set it up as new.
    If your phone is unstable, you may have done other things - you don't say, so just set up as new.

  • How can I remove the Iphone OS passcode?

    A hand full of IPhone users were initally allowed on our Active Exchange Sync server. Now one of these users phone is one failure away from "remote wipe". The user does not want to lose personal data, which has now been mingled in with corporate information. I have Iphone users asking for access to corporate mail on a daily basis. In part due to the brillaint marketing caampain surronding the iphone and its stunning features. Although we have felt a lot of pressure to roll Active Exchange Syn out to these end users We simply can not allow for this until there is a sound way to recover from lock outs. I would perfer suggestions that are covered under warranty and supported by Apple and thier EULA.

    Assuming the user the user account is enabled and the Iphone is setup properly an administrator can enforce password length (greater than 4 digits - 6 in our testing), choose aplha numeric options (seemingly non-functional), plus enable remote wipe and number of failed attempts. The phone inherits these properties when it authenticates to the Exchange Server. So if a phone is locked out it will not authenticate to server and receive new password. I can do this with Blackberry Enterprise Server and I am not interested in debating it's usefulness. I am simply looking for a similar function for the Iphone. Then the powers at be will allow the Iphone on our Active Exchange Server and the towns folk will rejoice.
    So Ideally I would an Active Sync add on/feature that can:
    1. Use Active Sync to change password complexity
    2. Set a default OS password (1234),
    3. Force the user to change their password at login.
    4. Re-apply password complexity as needed.
    OR:
    be pointed to a tool that could do the same on an individual Iphone which is not a Jailbreak or a breach of Apples ELUA.

  • How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
    How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

  • How can I remove email account from an iphone but leave it on another?

    Hi
    Can anyone advise me if I delete an email account from one iPhone will it still be available on another iPhone.  I've upgraded my phone but am giving my old iPhone to my husband but want to remove as many emails to save on memory for him, but when I delete from the old iPhone, the same emails are deleted from my new iPhone.
    I have seen that the account can be deleted, but don't want to delete it without knowing whether it will leave the account still on my new iPhone.
    Has anyone had experience of this, and can you advise me what I need to do?
    Many thanks
    A

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.  I just didn't want to select "delete" without checking it out first...
    I'll give it a go later.
