HT1414 why is itunes asking me for a password when i try to restore the backup to my ipad when i have not given it one

i have restored my ipad now it wont restore the backup i did because it is asking for a password that it never asked for when i did the backup, WHY and how do i now get all my stuff back on it

Any chance you encrypted your previous backup? It's a checkbox on the Summary tab of the device in iTunes.

I have changed operator and also changed IOS and did a back up of my old phone in Itunes so i would keep all my contacts etc. Now when i want to get everything back in the phone, Itunes asks me for a password, which i do not have. How to bypass this?

I have changed operator and also changed IOS and did a back up of my old phone in Itunes so i would keep all my contacts etc. Now when i want to get everything back in the phone, Itunes asks me for a password, which i do not have since i did not enter any password when i did the back up. Is there any way I can bypass this password request? Otherwise i have lost all my contacts etc.
Greatful for help.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like Gmail, iCloud, or an Exchange server.
Have you failed to use the device as designed?

Cannot home share the game app purchased at iTunes store. Home sharing music works. Home sharing books works. But, when I try to copy the game app, it says my computer is not authorized. What am I doing wrong?

I've been struggling with a similar issue myself and just figured it out. Some of my content had been purchased with an older Apple ID that I don't use any more. When I authorized my second computer, I only authorized it for my new Apple ID, not my old one. When I tried to copy my library to the new computer, many songs, apps, etc. reported the error "could not be copied because this computer is not authorized". It drove me crazy because I knew the computer was authorized and much of my library came over just fine.
Finally I selected some of the problem items, selected "Get Info" from the menus, and saw that they were all purchased by my old Apple ID. I then authorized my old Apple ID on my new computer, and all of my files are copying correctly now.
Would be great if the message said something like "...because this computer is not authorized for Apple ID [email protected]"

My Mac is asking me for keychain password. Don't know what the password is or why I need to enter it.

Keep getting asked to supply keychain password. I don't know the password. If I click on cancel the arrow becomes a color wheel and spins around. Unable to figure out how to correct this so I can use the computer.

OS X version?

Go to appleid.apple.com and try to login there. If unsuccessful, there is a link to change your password.

Hi, I bought an iPod 2 and I jailbreaked it before. I tried to download the iOS 5.0.1 from the Settings icon on my iPad 2 but then my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore and it kept on showing a screen with an arrow pointing to an iTunes symbol. I later learned that this was the recovery screen so I tried to put it out of the recovery mode by pressing the home button and power button simultaneously, but the screen kept on returning back to the recovery screen. I could not restore the iPad 2 on iTunes either, so I downloaded Tiny Umbrella 5.10.01 and tried to save the shsh. However, under the recovering devices section on the left side, my iPad did not appear and I only got a device titled ?18092..... I tried to save the shsh of this ?18902... anyways but this did not work. So, I clicked on the device and pressed the exit recovery but then my iPad2 screen went black with a white apple logo in the middle. This logo keeps on dimming and disappearing and even when I plug my iPad 2 to the computer, neither my iTunes nor the Tiny Umbrella notice it. I need urgent help!
At this point only a restore will fix your issue.

If i have stuff on my phone and i connect to itunes and hit set up as new iphone instead of restoring from backup, will i lose everything i have on my phone

i need to know what i should hit on itunes for my phone, it says set up as new phone or restore with backup, i dont want to lose what i have on my phone right now, i just want to put the music i have on itunes on my phone.... what should i do?!?!

OK, we don't have the whole story, but it is likely that you previously synced the phone to a different computer. The iPhone can only be synced to one computer at a time; if you change computers the contents of the new computer will replace the contents of the old computer.
If you restore with backup (assuming the computer you are using has a current backup) you will not lose any app content. If you restore as new you can then add music and apps, but you will lose everything else in your backup.

HT4528 whenever i try to download a free app on Iphone 4, it asks for my password. It then returns to the"free" sign with a "+". It will not let me download apps. help!

Whenever i try to download a free app, I click, "free", It then breifly says "installing" before requesting my password. After i put in my password, it does not install, but instead now once again says "free" but sometimes with a small "+" sign. Please help!

There are a variety of acceptable forms of payment. If you don't want to use a credit card purchase and enter an iTunes gift card. You will not be charged for free apps but you do need to have an acceptable form of payment entered at this point.

I am trying to restore my Ipad 2 from iCloud but at a certain point I am asked for the password for ******** even though the account I am trying to restore is ********. I have checked all my account setting and cant see where that email address comes from. Has anyone else had this problem? Has my account been hacked?

Could the purchase have been made using a different Apple account? If so, you may need to contact Apple to find out how to transfer it to the iPad's account.

Can I back up a bootable partition from an APM drive to a GUID-partitioned hard drive for storage, later to be able to clone restore the backup back to an APM and have it be bootable on a PowerPC?

Tongue twister of a question, huh?
I am creating a APM-partitioned hard drive for use with a PowerPC iMac G5, so I can have a fresh OS install on one as a reference, and the other be my usable OS. Now, I also want to back both of these partitions up on a storage hard drive that I also want to contain partitions that are bootable on an Intel mac (GUID). My question is, can I clone my APM partitions as backup to designated partitions on my GUID backup/storage hard drive (which I plan on being able to boot other partions on an Intel Mac), and have the option of later cloning the same APM partitions back to an APM-paritioned hard drive and have them still be bootable on a Power PC? I know I won't be able to boot a Power PC from off of the GUID-paritioned drive, but I want to be able to restore my APM-partitioned drive incase things go sour with it.
Thanks so much for your time, guys!

Block-level copier that copies not just the files but the filesystem structure as well. But files can be moved from GUID to APM partitioned devices without any effect on the file. The partition scheme affects whether an installed system will boot a particular type of hardware.
If you installed OS X on a GUID partitioned drive you would not be able to boot a PPC Mac.
And, you're most welcome.

Itune couldnot restore the backup because backup was corrupt or not compatable

I have backed up my Iphone 5 before going to the store to get it repaired. When I try to restore the backup again on my phone at home , it is giving the error ' Itune couldnot restore the Iphone'name' because backup was corrupt or not compatable with the iphone that is being restore.
When i updated the software IOS7.0.2 i did it on phone rather than connecting to Itune as i was away. But later i backup the iphone. PLease help me out if there is any way to retrieve the and restore the data.

ITunes asking authorization for installing app

iTunes asking authorization for installing app

What are you trying to install the app on, and what exactly happens ? Apps that you download from the iTunes store can only be installed on an iPhone, iPod Touch and/or iPad.
If you mean that you are being asked to authorise your account on your computer's iTunes then you do so via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option
Or do you mean something else ?

Why the itunes download a update when I try to restore, if my ipad is already updated?

When I try to restore, the ITunes search for update and ask to download the iOS 6.1.3 update of about 800mb, but my iPad is already 6.1.3. I can't restore because of this problem..

The question isn't whether your iPad was running 6.1.3 before the restore. The question is whether your computer has a copy of 6.1.3 to load onto the iPad. The restore is going to wipe out whatever was on the iPad, then load both iOS and your saved data.
