How to find back up file password

accidently lost my back up file password, and after updating my iphone software, cannot get back my back up information.
need help urgently

You can't find it. If you could find it, there wouldn't be any reason to provide the option in the first place.
Apple provides a warning about this - if you forget the password for your iPhone's backup, kiss your backup goodbye.

  • How to find backed up files on iCloud?

    Apple is giving me a replacement iPad, so the guy at the Genius Bar told me to back all my files up so that I can get my exchange product without losing information. A ton of really important documents are on some Apps I purchased, on my iPad. I set up an iCloud account today, and I downloaded iCloud onto my PC, and I've pressed "backup" on my iPad (I turned everything "on", so I'm guessing this means all my apps/data will be backed up onto my computer). I'm still really confused though, so I have a few questions:
    a) Where is all of this data being saved onto my computer?
    b) Do I have access to, say, the Notes I've backed up off my iPad on my PC?
    c) I went to iCloud.com, but I see none of my actual files on my account. Is this normal?
    d) How to I move all my backed up files onto my new iPad?
    Thanks!

    A. The data is not being saved on your computer. It is being saved in iCloud - assuming that you did setup everything properly on the iPad and did create an iCloud backup.
    B. Yes. Log into iCloud.com using a web browser on your computer and you can access your notes.
    C. Yes it is normal. You cannot see the files themselves in iCloud.com unless you are using the Apple iWorks apps, Pages, Numbers and Keynote. All other data is backed up in the cloud but individual files are not visible.
    D. Restore from the iCloud backup that you created with the old iPad.

  • Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not Lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another?

    How to restore backed up files (not lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another.
    I recently backuped my photo files from one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy cloner) pointed to some corrupt files on the original drive.
    I have deleted those files and am finding good copies of them  in Time Machine backups.
    I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main external and then back it up onto a brand new drive.
    What I am not sure about is how to point lightroom to the backups so it knows to look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all those exclamation marks and question marks go away.
    There are close to 60,000 images in numerous folders all with one 'parent folder.'
    My best guess is from Lightroom Help - Create and Manage Folders -  Locate Missing Folders
    Can I point to the one parent folder and all the subfolders will come back?
    Is this the process to recover files into lightroom and will there be a problem with so many photos?

    <blockquote>
    Woke up to find that , the file I left downloading through the night was not here afters hours of downloading time and bandwidth .
    I discovered a very disturbing unacceptable "Blocked may contain a virus or spyware"..MAY !!!
    I am mad against Mozilla because I do not have the time to re download. Here is my question:
    Is there a "Vault" or a "quarantine" folder where I can recover this file??
    (I know that the source of such messages is Google and that in the future I will uncheck a line on the options' security tab.This is not my problem.)
    My problem is: Can I find it somewhere and recover it without re-downloading??
    </blockquote>
    Unfortunately the file is not stored anywhere on your harddrive. It has been deleted entirely.
    If you think this file block is a "false positive" and that the file is actually safe, you could do one of the following:
    (1) Download the file using a downloader add-on that bypasses this security check. I heard about this in another thread but haven't tried it myself (and also, I don't know which add-ons to trust for this!).
    (2) Disable the Safe Browsing feature temporarily to get the file, then turn it back on. There is a checkbox in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Security tab, it's the "Block reported attack sites" checkbox. The other checkbox relates to phishing sites and I don't think it affects downloads.

  • Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough?

    Time machine working well but I can't find backed up files fast enough. When I look in Time machine backups I'm looking in a folder and I can't remember what it was, but I go back in time and the finder goes from 98 files to 100 files, how do I find which 2 files were the ones deleted? Going back and forth from past to present is a pain! I need to figure out which file it was faster? Have any ideas?
    With the new "Find" feature it actually highlights what you are looking for such as in Safari. Does Time Machine have a feature to highlight the files/folders that were deleted really from the present?

    It sounds like you aren't looking for any file in particular, but notice a change in number of files and would like to know what changed rather than knowing that a specific file is now missing.
    that's a good point, and it appears that TM is not setup to describe the changes over time. If I recall correctly, it has a plug-in ability, so maybe somebody will fill in that void.

  • How to find out the file name

    Hi,
    In selection screen (parameter) user will give input TXT file from presentation server to upload to SAP. I need to capture the file name only but not the path and need to concatenate with date stamp and need to download error log in XLS file to presentation server.
    How to find out the file name from selection screen?
    I searched SCN threads but not found relavant solution.
    Thanks,
    R Kumar

    Hi
    This code gets only filename from selection screen :
    REPORT x.
    PARAMETERS p_file(100).
    DATA : gv_full_path LIKE  ibipparms-path,
           gv_full_path_string TYPE string,
           gv_filename(100),
           gv_file_ext(3).
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
    Ask user to select file with a popup :
      CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
        IMPORTING
          file_name = gv_full_path.
    Get filename from path :
      gv_full_path_string = gv_full_path.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CH_SPLIT_FILENAME'
        EXPORTING
          complete_filename = gv_full_path_string
        IMPORTING
          extension         = gv_file_ext
          name              = gv_filename.
      CONCATENATE gv_filename '.' gv_file_ext INTO gv_filename.
      p_file = gv_filename.
    I hope it helps.

  • How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (2000)

    How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (yr. 2000). I know that sounds basic but I have very few techno skills. So please "talk down" to me. I had a newer PC (2005) but the hard drive crashed and I am trying to resuscitate this old mac until I can afford to buy a new one. I am in the middle of writing a book (based on Steve Job's life) and must have SOMETHING to write with. Anyone have a better one they can loan me? I am in Maine on the coast. BTW this machine seems to have trouble reading or formatting most CD-disks. Can anyone recommend a type and brand that works well with this model? Thanks for any assistance anyone can render. Here is what I have:
    Machine Name:          Power Mac G4
      Machine Model:          PowerMac3,4
      CPU Type:          PowerPC G4  (2.9)
      Number Of CPUs:          1
      CPU Speed:          467 MHz
      L2 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
      Memory:          768 MB
      Bus Speed:          133 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          4.2.8f1

    Why do you want to reformat the drive?  Is it because the machine is running slow?
    Be sure to backup you important files, like the book, daily.
    The cheapest approach would be to try to figure out why the machine is running slow.  Be sure to try safe boot.
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    2) You should run disk utility
          Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
          a) verify the disk
          b) update your permissions.
    3) Try a safe boot.
         Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
         is being checked.
         http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    4) Another way to correct filesystem problems is into single use mode.
         This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
         http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
        Basically, you hold down the command + s key then  powering on your machine. The command key
        has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. 
    4) You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.
          http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
    6) Run hardware diagnostics.  It's good for a sanity check.
    The older versions of ccc were donationware.
    Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive.  I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system  on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. )  Once created, you can run your system from the external drive.  Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine.  This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

  • How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

    Ashok,
    Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
    OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
    OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

  • HT6312 How do I back up files on my IMac?

    How do I back up files, photos, etc. on my iMac? The info on the Mac only says OS X 10.9.5, not OS X Mavericks...not sure about this discrepancy.

    Use Time Machine, or use a product such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper to create a bootable clone, or drag-copy documents to an external drive.
    Mavericks is a collective name for Mac OS X 10.9 through 10.9.5.

    Easy way, CLONE IT to another HD

    You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)
