I try restoring backup on my iphone, and it won't let me until I enter a password. I don't ever remember setting up a password, however I tried every password I would have done, and it still doesn't work. I even tried unistalling itunes and re-installing it, and that didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Encrypted backups are very secure.
Try every possible password you can think of. Try simply leaving the field blank also.
iTunes: About iOS backups
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.

HT4314 I remember my Game Center nickname but not the email address I used to create it. I have tried every email address I could have used and none are correct - is there no way to find out the info from Apple? Seriously?? Because that's crazy.

Because it isn't my Apple ID. Each of our iThings has a different Game Center account and only one uses our real ID. Thanks, though.

Just in case (even though your symptoms aren't explicitly mentioned in the document), let's check to see if there's a LSP problem in play here:

Im trying to update my apps and it wont let me. When i clicked on an app to update it or to download a free app it says "sign in required, tap continue and sign in to view your billing information" when i did it says "you must verify your payment info before you can makes purchases" then "security code is invalid" when the security code is valid. I even switched credit card it keeps saying the same thing....... THIS IS NOT FAIR........ I WANNA UPDATE MY APPS!!!!! Btw idk why did i buy the ipad for, APPLE dont even let you download ADOBE FLASH PLAYER and must of the games required ADOBE FLASH PLAYER to play example: wizard101. Idk what i was thinking...... :(

Why not simply remove yoru payment info by selecting None at top?
APPLE dont even let you download ADOBE FLASH PLAYER
Considering Adobe dont (sic) even make Flash Player for iPads, this seems about right. How can you download something that does not exist?

TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion? 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

Check with the manufacturer for updated drivers for your tablet.

How do I get my new iphone restored with my old backup? my old iphone had ios5 and the replacement phone i got has ios4 and it wont let me backup my phone because it doesnt have ios4... i cant get ios5 without restoring my iphone and backing it uo

Basically, i need all my old stuff from my iphone 4 with ios5 onto my new iphone 4. The new phone i received only had ios4. I went to get all my contacts and backup from my old phone onto my new phone and it wont let me because my new phone is only ios4 and my backup from my old phone was in ios5. I cant get ios5 on my phone without creating a new backup of my new phone, which has nothing on it. If i restore it as a new phone and backup virtually nothing from my new phone, will that get rid of all my old backup stuff from my old iphone?

Bottom line is you CANNOT restore to a phone from a backup that has a more recent iOS which is what you're trying to do. Just can't be done.

Mail for Mac doesn't work. Three out of 4 accounts can't receive email, and I've tried every password I've ever used repeatedly.

Three out of four of my accounts have the exclamation mark next to them. I can send mail intermittently but cannot receive anything. I've tried every password I'v e ever used repeatedly, to no avail. When I change a password with the ISP, Mail never recognizes it. I'm completely lost.

Doesn't matter. That store is likely selling illegit iphones, brought oin from somewhere else.
The fact remains the UAE government does not allow Facetime on iphones legitimately sold there.
