I can't find my iPhone backup password on my iTunes. Help please?

I made no password for my iPhone backup, and when I went to restore, it told me I needed a password. Please help?

This sounds like something you should contact Apple about.
Or, you can always try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new device.

    where can i find my iphone backup password?

    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 do backups 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.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

    Where ever you put it. Though, writing down a password is very poor security practice. If you don't have a record of it, there's no way to recover it.

    where can I find the Iphone backup files?

    The following claims the ability to extract Notes from a backup made using iTunes. I haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works. Once extracted the Notes would be readable on your computer but you would still need to get them back to the new phone. http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

  • I can't find my iPhone backup in Mac OS X Lion.

    After upgraded to Lion, I can't find my iPhone backups any more at  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, but they still show up in iTunes though. Does anyone know where the new location is? Or it's now hidden?
    Thanks!

    from my understanding "other" are files/data that are not recognized by your Mac. Same with our iOS devices
    Here's an example, Im a big anime fan so I have a folder with tons of animes having a format of .mkv
    my mac does not recognize this that's why it falls under "others". Any file format that's not supported by your native Mac applications are considered others
    If you want to know where these files are located, use "omnidisk sweeper"

    You don't "find" it.
    You either remember it or you don't.

  • Where can i find my Iphone backup within Itunes

    To assure that calendar, contacts, pictures, movies are synchronized correctly from my Iphone > Itune, -where within Itune on my PC can I find and see the data assuring that I have a full backup ?
    Did it in Itune via the -  right click on Iphone - create security copy (in Swedish - skapa säkerhetskopia).
    Need it secured since my Iphone is going for service (microphone disabled, head-set activated all the time).

    Magnus - seems pasting you the info is a bit beneath some so here it is:
    Where backups are stored
    The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
    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\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory

  • Where can i find my iPhone backups on Mac OS X Lion?

    Hi,
    I don't know how to find the "mobilesync" folder under Mac OS X Lion.
    In Snow Leopard it was ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup..
    But in Lion the MobileSync folder has dissapeared..
    Does anyone know where I can find them?
    Thanks!

    Apple hid the User Library.
    Click GO -> GO To Folder
    Enter "~/Library" (without quotes) in the textbox. Click GO. This will take you to your User Library
    Open the Application Support folder
    Scroll down to the MobileSync folder
    You should now see your Backup folder that you can open to view your backups.

  • How can I copy the iPhone backup files to another iTunes Library?

    I'm changing to my Window laptop from a PC. I want to copy my iPhone backup to the Library in the laptop. How can I find those backup files? I don't want to lose my apps and everything, you know.

    This article will tell you where your iPhone backup is stored on your computer:

  • Can't find my iphone in my computer or itunes!

    My iphone 4s stopped syncing with itunes a few days ago. It just suddenly stopped responding to my laptop. Or i mean, it charges but it cant be found in my computer nor itunes. I have removed all apple programs (itunes, quick time etc) and reinstalled, but this didn't solve the problem. I have also tried finding my iphone through the device manager but it shows ****. I have tried to fix this for four hours now and searched for manuals to how to fix this but nothing seems to help. So please, help me if u think u can.

    Clean iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Try a different USB cable. Try a different USB port on your computer, try a dedicated USB port on the back of computer.
    Maybe a bit easier than DFU Mode is Recovery Mode. Open iTunes on computer, connect iPhone, hold both Home and Power buttons until iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the Firmware.

  • Where can I find my iphone backup files in windows 7?

    My computer died and all I have left is the hard drive.  Fortunately it is in good working order and is readable.  I successfully transfered all of my apps and music, but cannot find my pairing information.  Consequently, I cannot sync my devices.  Where are my iphone and ipad backup files located?

    Hello Thom,
    Good to hear that you are still able to recover information from your old hard drive.  I found an article that provides the locations of the iOS backup files:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
    You can find the full article here:
    iTunes: About iOS backups

    I hope this helps get you back on track!
    Best,

  • I can not remember my iphone backup password, jus got new phone

    hi i lost my iphone 4 so brought new iphone 5 but when trying to get all my old contacts from my backup its asking for a password i can not remember, how do i reset this password

    You don't.  If you do not know it, then you cannot use the backup.
    You should have been syncing your contacts to your computr regularly, so they should be on your computer in whatever program you have been syncing.
