You are being a rediculous rationalizer.
If you can't change anything or help at all, why respond just to rationalize and twist what I'm asking?
And to assume I read the article before this happened was silly.
I am saying clearly, this is buggy  behaviour that should be changed.
Every other thing when you encrypt a backup, you are encrypting the backup, not disabling your ability to every make an unencrypted backup again if you forget those backup passwords.
I know you have no means to change it and absolutely nothing helpful to add I don't already know whch I indicated had you bothered to read instead of jumping in with the rationalizations and repeating what i already said.  You are just talking to yourself with rediculous remarks like "blame yourself" for not taking some article seriuosly I had not read and should not have had to, because it's a silly buggy quirk in the design I hope apple will address.
You must not work much with encrypted backups with other companies to not understand, usually, when you're encyrpting a backup, you're encrypting that file, not preventing yourself from ever making an unencrypted backup again if you lose the password.  Backups and the phone are two different things.  Please do not respond with unhelpful ignorance again.  You have no clue what you are talking about in terms of security implications.  Turning backups off would not let you "take apart an encrypted backup" if it's encrypted properly.  The encryption is in the backup file itself, which would have no affect on creating unencrypted backups after deleting the old encrypted ones.  I tried to be graceful but you really have no clue of the security implications and you are being very silly saying I should have taken an article seriously I hadn't read until I ran into this quirky behavior.  You have no idea what choice is.  Wow.  You know, it's possible for someone to want to change a password they forgot on backups without having to wipe out their whole phone config, messages, etc.  This in no way jepordizes the security of backups made with the old password. You are being clueless on this.  Please do not respond if all you have to add is rationalizations of how any other way would be insecure when you don't know what you're talking about.  You're snide remark that someone "does't know security" if they want to turn off encrypted phone backups or change the password on future backups, if they forgot it displays a huge amount of ignorance not worth trying to correct.  Apple's great.  Doesn't mean they don't make mistakes.

  • How to unlock my iphone 5 when i forgot my passcode

    how to unlock my iphone 5 when i forgot my passcode it keeps saying I have to shut off Fine my phone but I cant because I cant get into my phone.

    If you locked the iPhone through Find My iPhone, you should be able to unlock it with the passcode you entered when you locked the iPhone through iCloud, or it's existing screenlock passcode if you had one set. This is not working for you?

  • How do i get iphone backup files to show in itunes?

    Hi.
    Ive recently had to start using another computer due to a component failure, and as a result managed to wiped my iphone of its original contents during an update on the 'new' computer. I have my old hard drive connected to this computer via a docking station, and can access all the files on it with no problems. I've deleted any itunes stuff on the 'new' computer so that the only apple/itunes stuff is on my old hard drive, but when i launch itunes, its not like it was when i left it. no music loaded in library etc. not a major issue as the music is all still on the hard drive. My issue is with the apps and back ups for my phone. I can view the folders with the back ups in, but they wont show in itunes. I'd love to restore my phone back to how it use to be.
    Can anyone help me out, as i'm at a brick wall with my knowledge level.
    thanks in advance
    Dave.

    You can open an alternate library by holding down shift when starting iTunes.
    A GUID is a Globaly Unique IDentifier. I this case I the backup folders appear to be named bunch of numbers & letters probably meant to be unique. If your original library opens properly (and you haven't wiped the device) then you don't need to worry about restoring the iPhone backups from the previous system.
    There's another GUID buried in the iTunes Library.itl that identifies your old library as the "home" library for your device. If you try to connect the device to a new library, even if it has all the same content, iTunes will want to wipe the device and start over. Not so much a problem for media but you might lose app settings. Best if you can connect properly to your old library, otherwise restoring from a preserved backup should restore your app data.

  • I have a new computer. How to transfer my iPhone backup?

    Hello,
    I have a new computer which I will now be using to sync my iPhone on a daily basis. As you can only use one computer terminal to sync and backup your device, I need to move the backup to my new computer. How do I do this?
    The only problem is that I don't want iTunes on the new computer to wipe everything: all app data etc. At the moment I don't mind it wiping my iPod on the iPhone as I'd like to re-build and re-organise that anyway. It's mainly just so the app data doesn't go.
    All I want to know is how I can move the backup for my iPhone to the new computer and get it to work.
    I hope someone can help: thanks in advance!

    Transfer your iTunes library from the old computer to the new. If you still have the old you can just connect them to the same network and copy over the network. Rather than transfer the backup (which contains data, but not apps or music) just create a new backup on the new computer BEFORE syncing. Go to Preferences in iTunes, Devices tab, and check "Prevent ipods, etc" from syncing. Connect the phone, right click on it in iTunes and choose Backup.

  • How do i delete iPhone backups on my Mac and Time Machine?

    I used to back my iPhone to a Mac which was then backed up to my time machine…..I have decided to start using iCloud to back up my iPhone 5 and have purchased a monthly data plan to compensate. I now want to delete my iPhone backups which I believe is taking space on my time machine and Mac. How do I do this?

    navigate to iTunes > Preferences > Devices, and select your backup and click on the Delete Backup button. This will remove the backup files from your computer.

  • How to find the iphone backups?

    Where does itunes store backups from my iphone?  I want to make an extra copy somewhere else incase my computer should crash.
    Im using windows.
    I read somewhere that they are stored in c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Is that accurate?  All thats there is a couple of folders with ridiculously long names like 5e696f1ad14e411680c85415db7d8e6b8ab348273 and inside there are a bunch of small files with similar garbage names.  Are these the backups?  I thought the backup was a single file like an .ispw file or something?
    Can somebody confirm?
    If I want to take this backup and make a copy of it and then use it again (say my computer crashes or I get a new one or whatever) how do I go about it?
    Thanks.

    Your backups are stored here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    It is an SQLite data base. If you want to copy your iPhone backup, copy the entire folder. Read more here:

  • IPhone backup encrypted, but no password set

    It sounds like a common problem out there, but I haven't seen a response from Apple.  When I go into iTunes it shows that my backup will be encrypted with a password.  I have NEVER backed it up to iTunes, only to the cloud.  When I try to disable the encrypt option it asks for a password that I have never set.  Many others have said to try every password you've ever had for iTunes as well as your security code on your phone.  Oh and why not "000" and "1234" while you are at it.  None of these work.  It isn't the end of the world for me because I still have the phone and it is backed up on the cloud, but what is the deal Apple?  How can I get or set my password since I have never set it in the past?
    Thanks

    Hi there Tom,
    I imagine that it would be frustrating to have an encrypted iPhone backup and not know the password or how it the encryption was enabled, but I do want to suggest taking a look at the article linked below. It provides a lot of great information about how encrypted backups are enabled and passwords you may want to try.

  • HT201272 How to retrieve previous iphone backup from laptop to sync onto new iphone?  Keeps asking for a passcode before it will restore the backup.  No idea what the passcode is.

    I backed up my previous iphone the other day in anticipation of it being replaced (wifi stayed grey non stop) and now I have my new phone and want to put all of my old data on but it keeps asking for a passcode before restoring the backup.  I've put in what I thought it would be but get nowhere.  How do I get the password or change it?

    If your iPhone was passcode protected, check out the first section here.
    Or it could be that the backup itself was encrypted in iTunes; that is discssued further down in this same article.

  • How do i restore iPhone backup

    I sync my iPhone to a PC running Vista. I had to make some radical changes to Outlook, and when I synchronized afterwards my entire calendar AND contacts directories on my iPhone were completely empty. I recall that iTunes makes a back-up of the iPhone just before a sync... so how to I restore the iPhone from that back-up? I see a button for Restore, but it says that will restore to factory defaults. I just want to roll back to a restore point just prior to the last sync.
