How to find or bypass the password for unlock backup for iphone with mac?

Hi,
My Iphone is not working for some reason and i realy need the information that was on it.
I have a backup in my itune and i tried to download it to my ipod using the "restore from backup" option.
Unfortuanlty, it asked me for a backup password which i've never put and without it i can't get into my backup information.
Is there any way to bypass it or find the password somehow?
I've tried to find it in the keychain accses (i'm using mac) but didn't find anything there
it is realy frustrating..

If it asks for a backup password you or someone else put one on it. Without the password there is no way you can recover the backup.
But -- is is asking for the backup password, or for the phone password? You cannot restore a backup from one phone to another phone without the unlock code for the phone. This is to prevent someone from stealing your data.
But in general, if there was a way around a password what would be the point of having a password?

    Then you won't be able to use that backup. You might as well delete it and start over.

    1> How Do I find whether we already have this inported in the EP environment: I have admin and super admin role and trying to find '*java' in the Role. But didn't find one. Does that mean we don't have this imported already?
    2> I have tried to Find out the PDK( which is also a Business Content) in SDN in the Portal Business content link (https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/contentportfolio.sdn) , but haven't found. Where from I download this business content?

    Thanks

    Hi Arunabha,
    1. Note that the search is case sensitive. Therefore you should search for java and Java.
    2. Download from: https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/downloaditem.sdn?res=/html/PDK60_download.htm

  • How to find by DEFAULT the EXACT text string (and no more) with Acrobat Pro?

    How to find by DEFAULT (always) the EXACT text string (and no more) with Acrobat Pro? Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 search engine finds USELESS hits on Mactel with Mac OS X 10.5.8.
    For instance, if I search for "sec" (no quotes) trying to find ONLY hits with sec (for second, like in: it took 20 sec), it finds useless hits like: security, etc (any word containing sec, which is NOT what I want).

    Any idea on how to do it by default with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)? Thanks.

  • IOS upgrade 5.0.1 iPad failed at Enter the password to unlock backup

    I upgraded iTunes on my MacBook (Leopard), then attempted to upgrade iOS on my iPad2 from the original iOS it came with (4.x). Everything seemed to go fine until it was attempting to put itself back together from the backup taken just before the upgrade. I haven't been able to give it the right password.
    I believe I had set backups to be encrypted. But people who didn't also seem to have trouble with this. I've tried lots of possible passwords (for the account on the MacBook I was using, the admin account on it, current appleid, old appleid, 4 digit numbers that I use for accounts that require 4-digit numbers, a few items from keychain), to no avail.
    Need help with three questions (at least!)
    1. I am confused about what password would be used to unlock the encrypted files (is this a separate password? I no longer remember how it was set up, although I did it last spring). Some folks on forum suggested that the correct password might fail in this process, but changing the password might get it to  work. But I don't know which password or how. I usually record passwords in Data Vault, but don't have anything in there separately for iTunes or the iPad backup. Need to know whether I need to tear the house apart looking for a possible scrap of paper.
    2. If I manage to find the right password, how do I get to the right backup? I had to cancel out of the form that was asking for the password in order to try anything else. Now when I try to restore from backup, the backup showing is not the right one (it is earlier). As a last resort I may have to try restoring from that one (assuming I can solve the password problem.)
    3. I had synced all my applications and contacts before starting this. Can I get back most of my stuff from that? I didn't not have music, movies or many photos. Did have a few kindle and nook books.
    I'm finding the whole process of managing the iPad with iTunes very confusing. Thanks in advance for any help.

    This is what I would do.
    1. Settings > General > Reset.> Erase All Content and Settings
    2. Build the IPad 2 from Fresh and then Upgrade to Newest IOS.
    3. Restore Application's Manually > App Store > One by One
    4. Restore Contacts : If you use Gmail : Its Easy : through Itunes
    Once All the Apps and Contacts are Synced : Would do a Backup.
    5. Encrypt and Add a New Password.
    6. Backup Again : So that you have 2 separate Restore Points.
    Good luck, let me know if this helps.

  • How to Find and Contact the Owner of a Stolen Silver iPhone 5?

    I have decided to do a really good deed for a victim of an iPhone Thief. Can you please help me contact the owner of this device?
    This is the following details of this device:
    Type: iPhone 5
    Color: SIlver
    IMEI: ***
    ICCD: 8963 0313 2530 1034 6018
    Location: Manila, Philippines
    Please help me out guys! I dont want my effort to go such a waste. This is a big deal for the owner.
    Thank you!
    Sincerely,

    Well that was pretty stupid then!
    You have also asked the same question before, so don't keep asking the same question just because you don't get a reply.
    If you have purchased a stolen iPhone, then you need to hand it into the police and let them find the owner.  If the phone is locked, then you have a brick and there is absolutely nothing that you can do.
    Why would you want to waste good money on a birthday present to yourself that you can never use?  Get real.
    Hand the phone into the police.

  • I have a new email address and my old email keeps coming up on icloud when trying to update apps and i don't know the password or security questions for the old email. I can sign in with my apple id which is tied to another email but not itunes how to fix

    I have an apple id and it has my current email attached to it. however when i go to update apps it's asking for the password for an old email. I no longer have the old email and can't use it. when I go to icloud on my ipad it asks for the password for old email. it doesn't allow me to change the old email to current. when i go to reset it i can't remember the password or security questions for the old email so it doesn't let me go any further. How do I fix this? Do i need to call apple support?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    The password is yours to keep and remember. Adobe do not have any backdoor to get it back -- because if there were a backdoor, hackers would use it.

  • How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.

    HI,
    How to find maximum number of users we can assign for Hyperion Planning.i.e., how to find license limit in hyperion planning 11.1.2.1.
    In Essbase propreties, the system is showing maximum planning users could be 65535.
    what would be the number for concurrent scenario?
    Thanks
    Giri
    Edited by: Giriprasad on Jun 18, 2012 2:18 AM

    The number of users would be based on your license agreement with Oracle, the system is not aware of your license agreement so it is up to you to stick to it.
    Cheers

  • I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

    I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

    If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
    Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8).  If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
    Insert the disk then power down
    HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
    Get to Disk Utility
    If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
    When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down.  If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
    Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
    If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM  DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST.  REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system.  After re-installing the OS do a software update.  Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install.  This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
    If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
    If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk  and try a re-install.
    If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.

  • When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?!

    When I open iPhoto 9.2.1 it says that my library needs to be upgraded but when I upgrade the library I am trying to open (33 GB worth of pictures from 2006) the new application says it cannot read the files and how to find them on the system to reimport?! and then I'd like to erase the original files since the space requirement is huge!!!! Why is upgrading software iPhoto such a pain. I've gotta get a presentation done and all I get for my money is roadblock!!!

    hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
