I can't access my iPhone backup(automatic encryption) so will have to set up phone as new. Haven't been able to work out what password A has allocated so will all future backups be also encrypted unless Apple finds a way around this?
I can't access my iPhone backup (automatic encryption by iTunes, not through choice!) so am resigned to setting my iPhone 4 up as new phone, because I can't determine which of my passwords has been allocated. Has anyone else gone down this path and will all future backups also be encrypted unless Apple works out a way around this or I can work out my password?
You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

I can't access my iPhone back as I don't have the password
Please, how do I find the password to my iPhone backup?
Thank you Lawrence.
What is annoying me is that I do not recall ever pressing encrypt; AND that there is NO WAY to retrieve the "forgotten" password.
I have been using Apple products since the early 90s because they are brilliant.
But, I feel like this is the sort of crazy non-apple thinking that is now besetting Apple and it makes me cross.
I have checked at work and no one at work in IT knows if or when they set a password ... nor do I recall doing it.
Either way, pretty crazy "security" thinking if you ask me.
Once I get the new phone set up, I don't think I can change the ITunes set up now because I clicked encrypt last night (on the advice of apple ideas to enable me to change password) and now I can't UNencrypt ...
It's just stupid thinking
and for the unenlightened IT person like myself, I expect better of Apple
ie I expect things to WORK without me having to be an IT genius -
When mirroring how do I close my display on my iPad/iPhone while using tv apps and not closing airplay
I don't know if it would even be possible to allow the iPad to mirror while it is asleep, but if you want to make Apple aware of anything with regard to the iPad, give it a try here.

2.0 says it will delete ALL files on my Touch?!? is there a way around this
I took the plunge and went on Itunes to get 2.0 and AFTER paying, a prompt tells me downloading to my touch will clear out all my music video etc...is there a way around this and if not, can I 'return' 2.0, because there is NO WAY I feel like losing all my accumulated music!
I know first hand the importance of backing up my library. I once lost my entire library and had no back up. So I most certainly do that. I would suggest all of you do that in the future. However, if you have not done so and you intend to install the new 2.0 update. Then, I would suggest you buy some 3rd party software that can back up your data for you. I purchased some time ago iGadget formerly known as Ipod Agent. They have made the software capable of working with the Ipod Touch now. But you will still need either a location on your local computer or an external drive or a DVD or two if your library is too large for a CD to backup the library onto. iGadget will copy all of the songs (I don't know about the other settings i.e. calendar, email I have never used my ipod for those things) from your IPOD to a location you desire and or to your library. Then when you are ready you can repopulate the library with the back up. I too ran into this issue last night, right before I was about to install the update. I got that message about losing all of my music and other settings. I rushed and found a blank DVD and burned my library onto it before continuing with the update. ITunes has a back up feature that will allow you to back up your library. If your library doesn't have all the same songs that you iPod does then you will have to purchase software that will backup the iPod.

I'm setting up my new iPhone and already have an iTunes account. It's asking me if I would like to set up as a new iPhone, or Restore from the backup of my iTouch. If i set up as a new iPhone will that delete all my music from my previous iTunes account?
It will not do anything at all to your computer.

Two days ago, I have a new iphone 4S. After I installed the OS and start the iphone, I found a strange screen says "!9D/JC" that blocks the iphone and I can not access the iphone until click many times on the "Desmiss" button at the botom of the screen.
I appreciate if you could provide me support to solve this problem especially it consumes the battery a lot.Another post originally dated 5th Feb, 2012 with a slightly different unheard of error "%7D/JC".

The user also claimed that he didn't meddle with iOS. No solution could be found though. -
How can i access my iphone when i forgot my password
i need to access my phone its URGENT!!
You can't access your iPhone if you forgot your passcode. That's the purpose of a passcode. It wouldn't provide very good security if it was easily bypassed.
See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212 for what to do. -
I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. What I can do?
I forget the lock code and now I can not access the iphone. I try to restore it, but ask me to go to iphone settings to which I have no access and I can not download the latest version of iOS to do it.
Thanks!If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, restore the device from the computer to which the device is synced. For information and instructions, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
If that will not work, you'll need to put the device into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
If your device is running iOS 7 and you set up Find My iPhone (iPad/iPod), however, then it has the Activation Lock on it and you'll need to enter in your Apple ID and password to activate the device after restoring:

I can't access my iPhone 5s because I forgot my passcode. I tried restoring it and backing it up, but it says I must disable the app "Find my iPhone" but the thing is I can't access my iPhone 5s to disable my Find my iPhone app. Please help me out ASAP!
You're going to want to force it in recover mode thent o restore the device, unplug it from the computer, hold down the home button replug it back in intil you see the Itunes symbol with an arrow pointing towards it

Ever since I uploaded i0s7 I haven't been able to receive I messages or face time. I have took it to the apple store and they couldn't figure it out. I have also followed the trouble shooting from I tunes and still can't get it working
Hi,
Strikes -
Go into compositionReady and have 3 variables you will be able to set them like this
strike1 = 0;
strike2 = 0;
strike3 = 0;
So on the wrong item click have
if(strike1 == 0) {
PLAY STRIKE1 ANIMATION
strike1 = 1;
else if(strike2 == 0) {
PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
strike2 = 1;
else if(strike3 == 0) {
PLAY STRIKE2 ANIMATION
strike3 = 1;
So this will make it so when the wrong item is clicked each strike will be played in order.
Random Scrolling -
You should look into the Math.Random function to make things random in edge.
This is an example of the Random function. It will generate a random number up to 100.
var random = Math.floor (Math.random () * 100);
Lose Screen Score -
So we can create another variable in compositionReady for the lose score.
score = 0;
Now when the user gains a point to add to the score you could do this code on the click
score++;
which would add 1 to the score, However you can add however much you like to the score doing "score + 2" and so on.
To edit a text with the score at the end which I'm assuming you will want to do you will use .html
so $("Text").html("You score is " + score);
I hope this helps! -
I have a few devices on one apple id and would like to switch out one of my phones so they have there own apple id do I have to restore the phone as new or can i somehow switch it without losing all apps and music in iTunes?
Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

You need to restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone to computer, hold both home and power buttons until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click Restore button of iTunes.

Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I wasted about 1.5 hours with Apple on this issue. It all started happening after I updated to the latest version of iTunes. I haven't been able to sync my iPhone 4 in 1 month and am freaking out about possibly losing my pictures, video, text messages and music.
Windows XP user.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1If might be helpful if you actually told us what the problem is.

i have a laptop mac 3 years old i did not pay the extend warranty plan, so know i can't update the iPhone 5 because thai do not accepted a update for iTunes the new version what i have to do call to apple or make repair
You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to sync the iPhone 5; this may require buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store. OS upgrades aren't covered by the warranty.
