How to get password for itunes in order to restore from backup?

Original PC crashed and is now dead. I'm now using a different laptop. I De-Authorized all PC's from ITunes accoun, authorized the laptop and I connected my 3Gs to do the IOS update. I am now locked out of my phone. ITunes is on the "set up your iPhone" screen. A message states "This computer has previously been synced with an iPhone or another iOS device." I select "Restore from the backup" selection and I am asked to enter a password. I don't know the password and now I can't use my Phone. What needs to be done to fix this?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How to get password for the Sql server 2008 r2

    Always when a user forgets a  SA password , Blogs suggest to get into the server through windows Authentication having SysAdmin , and change the password for user SA.
    Sir,
    Is there any other methods to retrieve or see the password what we assigned before.
    Example: If SA Password is assigned as Test 
                   I have to get Test
    , Instead of changing password.
    Thanks in Advance.
     

    Hello,
    Dont you think it would create a Havoc if one could specifically see other admins password.Apply Gumption, you wont use SQL server if that feature is there.You cannot obtain password for other users.
    If user forgets it change it ,there is no restriction on changing.

  • HT201274 how do i restore from backup

    I tried to update my iphone to iOS 6, but it got disconnected and had errors, now i don't have all my contacts.  how do i restore from a backup?

    If the backup is on your computer, connect the phone to your computer (or, if you have enabled WiFi sync, just click on the iPhone's button in iTunes) and click the "Restore from Backup" button on the iTunes summary screen.
    If your back up to iCloud go to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings. You will then be prompted to restore from your iCloud backup.

  • HT1414 iTunes not recognising restore from backup

    I had to replace my iPhone 4S today. I backed up before the old device was taken away.  When I plugged into iTunes I strated the restore from backup proceudre. When this is complete however I am promted to do the same again as if iTunes think the phone is new even though the backup was successful.
    I have been throught the process three times now and always the same outcome. Any iseas as I am effectively completely locked out of iTunes?
    Thanks all,
    J!

    Open iTunes. On Mac top menu select "iTunes" drop down menu, and on Windoz top menu select "Edit" drop down menu, select "Preferences". In the pop-up window click the "Devices" icon. There are all your backups with their dates, you can delete the ones you want.

  • How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR

    Hi,
    How to get Reports for specific User that how many password has been reset using FIM SSPR in FIM 2010 R2 SSPR
    Regards
    Anil Kumar

    Hello there Anil,
    A simple way to quickly get a overview is to look at the request history within the portal environment (note that this will expire in a few day based on your environment, after that you would need to FIM Reporting Module - but you could increase this to
    maybe 60 days to so, watch the DB size).
    To do this you could create some custom search scopes of do some custom queries. The creator of the SSPR activities always has the same GUID so you can use that so search.
    In your search scope you can use the following XPath to play with.
    - All Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and Operation='Put']
    - All Completed Password Reset Requests - /Request[Creator='b0b36673-d43b-4cfa-a7a2-aff14fd90522' and RequestStatus=‘Completed']
    You can play with the "RequestStatus".
    Hope this helps.

    Hey Lakedrive442,
    It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes.  If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

    Of course some might not apply, but many might.
    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
