HT1766 ive never gave a password to backup my iphone and i need one now what could it be?

Ive never gave a password to backup my iphone 4 and now i need 1 what could it be or how could i get it!!!

I have been having this issue for months and can not find any resolution. I am about to delete my iCloud account if someone from Apple can not provide a resolution. Phone support was clueless and acted like it was a user issue. I am going to go into a store.

I bought an ipod touch from someone on craigslist, but he never gave his password to me, and I can't get back into contact with him, so I can't connect it to itunes to restore it, he had the box for the device, so he was legit, so what do I do?

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod via iTunes on the computer. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

I did set up the password when I got the phone and iPad months ago but never turned it on. Now it is asking for the passwords for both my iPhones and iPad and I cannot select not the have the passwords active. ???

If you do not want to use passcodes, why don't you just go to Settings > General > Passcode Lock and delete the passcode and set the lock to OFF. That will eliminate the problems all together.

Is there some way to create a mirror image backup of iPhone and iPad ?

Is there some way to create a mirror image backup of iPhone and iPad ? At this time our company has over 250 devices that are constantly being upgraded and passed down the line. it would speed things up considerably if there was a way to mirror the old device and then restore it on the new Phone or iPad. I don't care about any of the other features in iTunes, i just need something to speed up the process without having to walk them thru reintering their passwords, redownloadeing all the apps that didn't transfer ect.

You would need to tell each user to make sure they backup their devices either thru itunes or icloud.
With a company like yours, you should suggest backing up to icloud.
IOS backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766 then when the user gets a new phone, you or they can just restore from their icloud.
The only hard part would be if the user has music (non purchased from itunes) which they would need to sync to itunes to get back on their phone.
there is no easy process for this. I'm in the same boat as you but way fewer people to deal with.

Can we backup from iPhone and iPad into time capsule?

Can we backup from iPhone and iPad photos and data into time capsule?

iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up only to iTunes on your computer or to iCloud. More details on backups here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
If you backup the iOS devices to iTunes, then iTunes in turn backs up to the Time Capsule using Time Machine.

I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password?

I am trying to set up a co-worker's email on her iPhone and I don't know what her password for Thunderbird is and neither does she. Can I get the password somehow, or what do you recommend?

There is no password to Thunderbird. The password you need is to the email account. Contact the email provider for password reset.

Just use the same one on all devices.

HT1920 I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none

I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none are activating my iPhone. I have also been into the apple store and they have tried to find out the Apple ID my iPhone was using but this was not successful. The serial number of my iPhone is: C32JN641DTWF

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.
My Apple ID

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to Restore your device...
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

I bought an iphone 4s from someone and i dont know password of his Apple ID and i need to update the apps on my new iphone i need a solution please

i bought an iphone 4s from someone and i dont know password of his Apple ID and i need to update the apps on my new iphone i need a solution please

The only solution is to erase the apps and purchase them through your own iTunes Store account. You have no legal right to those apps - the license is not tranferrable - and cannot in any case update them without the orginal purchaser's Apple ID.

HT1212 I'm trying to backup my iPhone and restore it because the screen has gone black. It won't allow me to do anything without putting in the passcode. I can't put in the passcode because the screen is black.

Try rebooting it (hold home and power together for 15-20 seconds). If the display doesn't come back to life, you're out of luck. You're supposed to back it up before it fails. It's too late to do so after the fact.

If I have another iphone and restore with my Mac, what happen with the FindMyIphone if I have two iPhone's with the same backup?

If I have another iphone and restore with my Mac, what happen with the FindMyIphone if I have two iPhone's with the same backup or sync with the same computer?

If you have more than one device on the same Apple ID, Find My iPhone will let you choose the one to find.

In between my new iPhone and a old one, I used a replacement iPhone. On the replacement phone there were two backups created. I have a new iPhone now, but only the 2 old backups from my replancement phone. How do I get a older backup on my new phone?

Not sure where you backup to.
ITunes keeps the latest backup only.
Icloud keeps the 3 last backup.
