you can't recover iOS crypted backup password, for security purposes. your backup is useless. sorry.
if you still have your old iPhone, make a new back-up

Upgraded from Iphone 4 to 4s. old phone backed up to iCloud. How do I restore that data to my new iphone?

I just upgraded from the iPhone 4 to 4s. I had backed up the old phone backed up to iCloud. How do I restore that data to my new iphone? Even though I had photostream on, it never synched. I installed iCloud for the pc and can see the backup up in the cloud. I just want to get all the data to the new phone.

When you go through the new phone setup, it should ask if you want to setup as new or restore from iCloud. If you have already setup as new, you will have to reset the 4S to factory settings, and go through setup again.

it takes hours
it does not damage or wear out hardware
and you can restore any backup afterwards as yo see fit

Hi there,
You can re-download purchased content from the iTunes store directly to your iTunes library or your iOS devices. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Go into iTunes, select the name of your iphone on the list on the left hand side of iTunes, looks right above the picture of your iphone and you'll see summary info apps etc. go all the way to the right and you'll see photos, check mark the box to sync photos and chose the folder where you imported the photos to your computer from.

If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then see if this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

I backed-up my iphone to my computer and now I can't find any of my music, does anyone know where it went?

I backed-up my iphone 3GS to my computer and now I can't find any of my music. I doesn't seem to be anywhere in itunes. Can anyone help me?

Backing up the iPhone to the computer won't transfer the music to it; to do that, you need to use the Transfer Purchases function. If you're looking for music already on the computer, search it for files with an extension of mp3, m4a, or m4p.

I just plugged my iPhone in my computer and now it synced my iPod pictures and everything to it. i would like to go back to nomad, how?

I just plugged my iphone in my computer and it synced my ipod and now everything is messed up, help!

I'm guessing you don't want your Photos synched to your iPhone (and that is your definition of not being "messed up"). It's really pretty hard to tell from your note.
Anyway, if that's the case, in your computer's iTunes display, when you have your iPhone plugged in, click on the iPhone on the left, then the "Photos" tab in that display. Then uncheck the box near the top that says "Sync photos from ...". Then click the "Apply" button near the bottom of the display and all will be well.

HT201210 I upgraded from iPhone 3G to 4S a few days ago. I choose the option to restore from my last 3G backup. It worked fine but I just realized that I do not have the new apps which come with the 4S. What should I do? Thanks for any help. Léo

I upgraded from iPhone 3G to 4S a few days ago. When setting up the new 4S, I choose to restore my last 3G backup. It started by updating the OS to version 5.1 (9B179) then restored my apps and setting. Everything went well except that I realized I do not have the new apps which come with the 4S, like FaceTime, HD video and Siri.
What should I do to correct this?
Thank you in advance for any help on this.

Ah, FaceTime is not an app, either. It's accessed by tapping the FaceTime button when you are in the contacts app and have selected a contact. This can also be done from the Phone app under the Contacts tab, or during a call, you can switch to FaceTime.
Let me know what other apps/features you are missing.

Gave my daughter my old iphone as a ipod and now she wants to use as phone

I gave my daughter my original iPhone reset as an ipod touch. Now she wants to replace her phone with it. How do we activate it as a phone again. AT&T said we have to go through iTunes.

AT&T said we have to go through iTunes.
Yes you do. If your daughter already has or signs up for an iPhone plan with AT&T (which she can have without the 2-year minimum contract because she already owns her phone), then she can activate it using iTunes.
HTH.
