I need to restore my backup

I need to restore my backup but I cant because I have an ecryption password on it that I do not remember setting up and i have tried iPhone Backup Unlocker and also all passwords that I remember. I can not delete the backup like recomended. so what do i do? I have absolutly no reculation of setting up a password for it. please please please HELP!!!

Have you tried your iTunes/Apple ID password. At times, this can be the default used for a backup encryption. Unfortunately, unless you know the password, there is no way to access this information from another source. Without the password, the backup is of no use and cannot be used to restore from.

Hi Xkandrux
Do you mean if I go to edit-preference-device and delete all the recent backup except the older backup I want then it will appear when I select "Restore backup " ?

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information on how to restore from an iTunes backup.

I need to restore the backup but my AppleID and password is not working. The message says "The password you entered to unlock your iPhone was incorrect." I know I am using the right password associated with my Apple ID.

I need to restore the backup to my iphone 3gs but the password associated with my Apple ID. It says the password I entered is not correct. Should i be putting in my Apple ID password or would it be a different password to unlock the backup.

I believe it is asking for the passcode you use for the screen lock on the phone.

I need to restore my backup but can't remember my previous password. What should I do?

Hello,
I was using a different computer and accidentaly erased all my info on the phone (iphone 4). I'm trying to restore the backup but it's asking for a code that I had used previously and unfortunately can't remember. I tried few things that i read online but no luck. One of them was to extract the backup but the file where i can see the code is in plist and I cant read anything in it. I did try to convert it but no luck.
Can someone please help me with this? I could be doing smth wrong but i wouldn't know

Hey Mon_Cherie,
Thanks for the question. I understand you have some questions pertaining to iTunes encrypted backups. The following article may help to answer these questions:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
iTunes and encrypted backups
You can protect your backup with a passcode using the Encrypt Backup option in the Summary pane. Encrypting your backup will back up your Keychain. This way, email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications will be remembered when you transfer to a new device. Learn how to create and restore from a backup.
When your backup is encrypted, you'll need to enter the password when enabling or disabling encryption or when restoring from this backup.
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

Need to restore TM backup to 2nd HD w/o install disks (1 mac)

hi all,
i've run into a quandry. my powermac g5 primary drive (OSX10-5) is throwing i/o errors. i have a recent TM backup, and would like to restore it to my secondary drive (MacOS), and reboot from that drive. then i can work on the primary drive. the panther install on MacOS no longer boots, so i want get 10.5 on that drive.
my dvr-116d cannot read my leopard install disk (nor any other disk). i have a WD mybook -- it's my TM drive. (how about that for irony?) i followed the thread on the WD and DVR mis-interaction, but none of the suggested fixes have worked (no WD plist file to delete, have updated drivers and firmware, rebooted without drive, etc). thus, i can't restart from the leopard install disk. my other systems are all snow leopard, which won't run on the g5, so that rules out the 2nd mac method.
i have made few attempts without success. first, using disk utility (DU), i tried to create an image from the TM OSX10-5 backup. it hung after 30 hours of "creating disk image..." second, i tried using TM restore to different target to put the files on MacOS, and ended up with /Volumes/MacOS/OSX10-5. using DU again, i turned that into a disk image, reformatted MacOS, and restored from that disk image. the result won't boot properly (system tries to booth, then powers off in about 15 seconds). on reflection, the FAQ did say "to restore a data-only volume to an alternate location", so i shouldn't have expected it to work. i'm currently looking into migration assistant...
the primary disk is on borrowed time, so i'd be grateful for any/all ideas/help. (too bad i can't just dd the backup onto a reformatted volume like the old days.)
many thanks,
bert

Another alternative for booting the Leopard install disc would be to "borrow" the DVD drive from one of your newer computers via FireWire Target Disk mode. You would need an appropriate Firewire cable that could connect the two computers.
In this situation you can't set up FireWire Target Disk mode with the Intel as the host computer, but you should still be able to use TDM "the other way", using the computer with the functioning DVD drive as the TDM target and and running the Leopard DVD from the G5 as host. The newer Intel Mac is used only for its DVD drive, and is otherwise totally passive.
To try this, you could do the following:
Shut down the G5. Insert the Leopard DVD into the other computer, and restart the other computer while holding down the T key, booting the other computer into FireWire Target Disk Mode . Connect it to the G5 with the FW cable, and then start the G5 while holding down the Option key. This should boot the G5 into the startup manager, and hopefully you will see the Leopard OS X install DVD as one of the startup choices. Select that, and try to boot from it.

Need to restore a backup from iphone 5 to iphone 4, help please!

iPhone 5: iOS7 latest update (I'm fairly certain)
iPhone 4: 7.03, 13.5 GB capacity, 12.6GB available
MacBook Pro: OSX 10.8.5
My iPhone 5 was stolen last night. I've been backing it up pretty regularly, but almost exclusively to iCloud (I now realize I should have been backing it up to my computer and iCloud regularly...). I have an old regular iPhone 4, that I downloaded iOS7 to, but I'm having trouble restoring any iPhone 5 backups to my old iPhone. I restored my iPhone 4 to factory settings then downloaded iOS 7 to my iPhone 4 and am given the option to restore the last backup of the iPhone 4 (from MONTHS ago) to this device, but cannot find the option to restore my iPhone 5 backups??? My last backup to my iphone 5 is large (a little over 11.6 GB), but still smaller than my iPhone 4 capacity...
How can I restore my last iPhone5 backup to my iPhone 4? Can I partially restore from iCloud (i've been reading that this would have been easier if I had backed up directly to my macbook)? What programs can I use to do this?
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! I don't need everything that was lost on that phone (I had TOO many photos) but certain messaging conversations and notes I definitely need.
Please let me know if you can help but need more info!
THANKS!

Sorry for being unclear :S
I erased my iPhone and went through the set up and tried to restore to iCloud but didn't get the option to restore to my iPhone 5 backup (only iPhone 4 backups--I assumed because erasing my phone and going to factory settings meant back to iOS6) so I went through with just factory settings. (I did all of this on my phone, not on my computer/iTunes as my backups are saved onto iCloud) I then signed into my iCloud account on my phone and went to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage then I can see the following
If I click on my iPhone5 (the first one) I see this
I can delete the backup, but how do I restore it to that last backup from yesterday??

Need help restoring from backup

My hard drive had a S.M.A.R.T. failure and I needed to back everything up by copying to another drive.
Having replaced the hard drive, I am now trying to restore all my settings.
Can I copy files to the new drive so that I can continue to iSync my SE P910i without having to do a First Sync again?
I have about one month's data on the phone that is not synchronised and therefore not backed up. I am concerned that a First Sync with "Merge data on computer and device" option selected will result in duplicate entries, and I cannot select "Erase data on device then sync" as I would lose this last month's un-synced data.
I have tried copying the P910i.phone from User/Library/Phones, as well as com.apple.isync.plist from User/Library/Preferences but when I launch iSync it recognised the P910i but still thinks that it is going to do a First Sync.
Thanks in advance!

Unable to restore from backup

Hello everyone,
I have a small problem that I can't seem to find a solution to. I have 3gs that I sync with my Dell laptop running Win7 and I'm using ITunes 9. When I go to sync, everything syncs fine, backups are creating and it seems that there are no problems. No errors are given once the sync/backup are complete. The other day, I needed to restore from backup. Here's where the problem comes in. After a minute or so of ITunes telling me it's restoring, I get a window that pops up saying something along the lines of "unable to complete restore because the backup session failed." I had about 6 backups available and they all came back with the same error trying to restore. After reading about this problem here in the forums, some have suggested turning off anti-virus software, making sure certain programs have been given access in a firewall. I've tried to sync with AV turned off, Firewall correctly set and even turned off and then continue with restoring, but i continue to receive the same error trying to restore. Any ideas on what might be happening?? I've saved my directories with backups and reisntalled ITunes, still no progress.. Thanks in advance for any ideas..

Are you sure about that?

I need to restore old messages approx 6 months ago

I am in a situation where I need to restore some very old text messages for legal reasons as prooof of correspondance, I am not sure how to do that.

Do you have a backup of the phone that was made when the messages were present? If so, you need to restore that backup to the phone. If not, then you're out of luck. There is no place to restore them from.
