How to lose encryption in iTunes backup?

Basically, when I went to sync my iPhone as usual it said my device REQUIRES an encryption password and wouldn't let me continue for some reason, so I entered a password.
I do not want a password at all because I know it's just a bad idea, I'm more likely to lose my iPhone than my computer itself (a Desktop with it's own password), so now I want to de-encrypt my backup password but with no idea how..
I read to just deselect the option and enter the password, but that's not an option, the checkmark is greyed out and I cannot just deselect it.
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks.

  • HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC?

    HOW CAN I RESTORE MY ITUNES IPHONE BACKUP FROM MY MAC BOOK TO MY DESKTOP MAC? THE REASON IS BECAUSE I HAVE TEXTFREE TEXT MESSAGES THAT I NEED FOR MY ATTORNEY AND WHEN I RESTORE IT FROM MY MACBOOK IT DOESNT INSTALL THE TEXTFREE BECAUSE I HAD DELETED ALL MY APPS IN ITUNES FROM IT.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP IF YOU KNOW THE ANSWER. THANKYOU

    Easy. Copy it from the old Mac to the new one.
    There are a variety of techniques including Setup Assistant (as soon as you get your new MacBook Air, it will ask you if you want to transfer information from another computer), Migration Assistant (if you elect to transfer information later), enabling file sharing between the two computers, or copying your music to a flash drive or other storage device followed by importing it to iTunes.

    Once your music library and everything else you want to transfer from the MacBook Pro resides on the new MBA, sync your iPod to the MBA. Sync the iPhone too when you get it, and they will both have identical iTunes music libraries.

  • How do i change my itunes backup location for my ipod touch 4th gen?

    I was tlkaing to my dad and noticed that my C: drive is rather low on space and i was shocked cause of how i do not install games and unnecessary stuff on tehre and one of the biggest folders was my itunes backup for my 4th gen I-pod Touch 32 gig.
    Well I looked in itunes and I looked under preferences and then advanced preferences the place to change the Itunes media folder, but need ot know if that also includes everything like apps, my songs, etc or if i am looking in the wrong place. I really want to move those 13 gigs of backup off of C: to another drive that has more space, also not sure if I'd need to re-install anything on a drive or not. So any help in this matter is appreciated.

    Not that easy but can be done:

  • How do i get my itunes backup from windows to mac

    I have just upgraded from windows vista to mac.  How do I get my library from windows to my mac with out deleting my iphone/ipod memory.
    I need to save my Itunes (vista) to a dongle and restore to mac but I do not know how.  I would appreciate it if someone could help me out.

    Follow the instructions included with this link for transferring your iTunes library from your PC to your Mac. This along with authorizing your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes and no iTunes content in on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on your Mac.
    This is based on all iTunes content on your iPhone is in your iTunes library on your PC where all iTunes content on your iPhone should be - all music, movies, tv shows, etc., and 3rd party apps.

  • How can I recover a iTunes backup that was deleted/replaced?

    I recently did the iOS6 update from my computer. I plugged up my phone to iTunes and it downloaded the software and backed up my phone just fine no problems. Somehow my phone didn't restore with everything like it should of, but I wasn't worried because I knew I backed it up to my computer and it even had the date and time in the Preference selection of iTunes. Well I decided to go to the Apple store since I was on my way to the mall and just let them restore from backup, why did I do that SMH......The guy at the store decides to back my phone up again, which he is backing up my phone which has NOTHING on it, I mean NOTHING. So the NOTHING backup replaced the backup that actually had everything on it. I AM PISSEDDD, I lost everything. And I hadn't backed my phone up to iCloud because I don't have wi-fi. At this point I just need all my stuff back, and I don't know what I could do. HELPPPPP!!!

    If you were using OSX 10.7 then you could go back to a previous version, but you have overwritten the file.

  • How to recover Contacts without iTune backup?

    My father never makes backup for his iphone. However, he accidentally plugged his phone in my computer and sync...now all the contacts in his phone are lost...his phone is iphone 4S...Can anyone help me with this?

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  His contacts should be in whatever program he has chosen to sync.
    If he has failed to do this, then they are gone.

  • HT4946 how do i recover a deleted backup in itunes

    how to recover a deleted itunes backup files?????

    I assume that your iTunes Media folder is located on your MBP in the default folder location. In your process to recover the missing movie file, did you first open the iTunes media folder where your movies are stored BEFORE opening the Time Machine interface?

  • How to locate itunes backup password on windows 7

    How do I locate the itunes backup password for my Iphone using windows 7?

    simple... your password is from your Apple ID. When you download new Apps from your iphone, sure the itunes store will ask your Apple ID and Password. That is the password that you need to key in to do the backup after installing the IOS5... Good luck
