    Sorry, but if you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
    Make sure that the password you use is one that you'll remember. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
    If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

  • How do I back up my basic phone when I already activated my new smart phone?

    I recently got an iPhone as a surprised (they activated it and everything) I never got the chance to back up the photos and the saved messages on my basic phone. How do I back it up even though its not "active"

    This may work. Hook a cable from the device to your computer.
    It will or should show as another drive letter on the computer.
    Access the photos on the phone and copy and past to a folder you create on the desktop.
    After you have them, simply hook the iPhone cable up to your iTunes.
    Then sync photos, search the desktop for the pictures. The they will be on your iPhone.
    It sounds difficult but it really is easy.
    If you had the photos on a SD card on the basic phone use an adapter which can be purchased at any computer shop and get the photos that way.

  • How to go back to ios 5 phone dialer in iphone

    Is there a way to have the phone keyboard go back to the color it was before upgrading to ios 6?

    Not a particularly useful response to be honest. "Change is good"
    What I dislike is not the keyboard change itself, but how it keeps changing back to the old colour scheme for some activities.
    Try dialing a number (or going to message bank), then bring up the keyboard, such as when doing phone banking.  No new white keyboard now.  The chopping and changing between colour schemes is more annoying than staying with one, or the other.
    So "change is (not) good", when it happens during a phone call.

  • How can switching back to a previous phone be considered an upgrade?

    I had been using an S4 for about a year when I got a hold of a lumia 928 and wanted to try it out was using while waiting for the 8.1 update when I broke the phone beyond repair .I go to switch back to my S4 and get the message that my phone is not compatible with my current plan (unlimited Data) how can that be as this is the phone I had been using on the plan originally. Call customer service lady tells me she can take care of it I switched phones and everything is back to the way it was before except not I get a message telling me i'm now on a 2gb data plan. Another call to customer service to be told that I upgraded my phone and I had to be moved to a new data plan. How is this considered an upgrade?

    They probably coded it incorrectly.  Get them to code it as ce customer equipment and put the 29.99 feature back on. If they say it's not available request an inactive pricing request put in as you have 14 days to get unlimited feature when there's this type of error.

  • I recently had to get my iPhone 4s replaced.  The old phone was backed up to ICloud.  I get a message when I plug this one in that it is not backed up and there isn't enough storage left to back it up. How to I remove from the other phone so I can back th

    I am trying to back up my new Iphone on to ICloud.  It shows I dont have enough storage because it still has stuff from the old IPhone.  How can I back up this phone and erase from the other.  Apple kept the other phone when they replaced it.  If I hit the delete storage for the other phone (which shows up on the Icloud Icon on this phone) will I lose everything on this phone?  That's what I want to avoid....

    If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
    However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
    Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
    Good luck in retrieving that information.

  • HT1766 I backed up my I Phone contacts to I Cloud.  When I go to ICloud on my MAC, the contact list I see is the email contacts on my MAC.  How do I get the phone  contacts in order entered onto my MAC?

    I backed up my I Phone contacts to ICloud.  When I go to ICloud contacts at ICloud.com on my Mac computer, the list is not as I saved it; it appears to be my contact list on my Mac computer.  How do I get my current IPhone contact list to show up.

    Have you activated iCloud on your Mac? Have you configured iCloud to sync Contacts for to your Mac in System Preferences?

  • How do I back up my iPhone 5s when iTunes doesn't recognize my phone?

    I haven't backed up my iPhone 5s for a couple of months and I received a message that my data exceeds iCloud storage.  The other day I connected my phone to my iMac and pulled up iTunes and a screen popped up asking me if this was a new phone!  I'm afraid to proceed because I'm guessing I will lose all of my "Notes" and pictures that exceeded the storage limit on iCloud.  Any suggestions as to how I can back up my phone and not lose information stored on my phone?
    One more note, I haven't been able to update to the lates IOS version 7.1 because it needs 2.5GB of storage and I want to back up before I make space available. 
    Thank you so much!!

    DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED IN ITUNES
    If you have connected your device to your computer and it does not appear in the side bar in iTunes then for Windows computers read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 or if you have a MAC then readhttp://support.apple.com/kb/ts1591 for troubleshooting steps.
    try also
    RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

  • How do I back up phone numbers from Nokia 6350 bef...

    I got so tired of my buggy Nokia 6350 that I went to my service provider's website (AT&T) and bought an iPhone 3GS. When it arrived I read the instructions, found some confusing directions there and am in the process of asking for clarifications in the AT&T discussion forum.
    The reason I'm posting here is that my brother, who works at a cell phone call center, advised me to back up all my phone numbers from the Nokia before attempting this flip phone to smart phone transition. I have a USB cord that connects the Nokia to my PC, but Windows XP tries to "install the new hardware" and looks for a CD. I never got a CD with the Nokia. And I can't use the Ovi suite because -- just my luck -- the 6350 is one of the minority of phones not compatible with the Ovi suite.
    How do I back up all phone numbers before I attempt to copy them to the iPhone 3GS?  I'm very frustrated..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Download the pc suite instead of ovi suite. U'll find it under the support page of ur phone on Nokia's site
    Please mark the post as solution if it solves your problem.

  • How do I delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    I want to delete my old iPhone backup since I can not back up my new phone.  Will I lose any pictures?  Can you ever see what is actually on the cloud? Last, how do I delete the old iPhone back up.  Thanks, been trying to do this for a long time.

    Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud.  It doesn't do anything to the data currently in your account or on your devices.  To delete it, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of the device that you want to delete the backup for, then tap Delete Backup.
    You can't see anything in an iCloud backup, if that's want you're asking.  You can only restore it to your device.  You can, of course, see your other iCloud data.
