I want to restore my iphone 4 from my back up but i forgot my back up password what can i do?

I backed up my iphone 4 right before i restored it, but when i go to restore it from the back up. it asks for a password, i don't remember the password or even if i set a password, is there any way i can retrieve that password? or am i just screwed?

Happy for you!

    Go to appleid.apple.com and try to login there. If unsuccessful, there is a link to change your password.

    You will need to try to restore your iPhone (preferably from the same computer that you most recently synced to).
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.

    Follow the instructions very carefully.

  • HT4859 restored my iphone 5 from iCloud back up. All my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I get them back?

    I recently got my iPhone 5 replaced. Before erasing the contents on my old iPhone 5 I backed up to iCloud. When I restored all my photos from my old phone are missing. How do I recover?

    Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS.   Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud.  There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
    See:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream - and then moved into permanent albums for storage.  If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
    If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered.  I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

  • IPhone backup not showing up when trying to restore my iPhone 4 from my old 3GS but it is preferences

    So I got an iPhone 4 and tried to restore it with my back up from my 3GS but it's not showing up in the drop down menu. The funny thing is my wife got one too and we restored hers just fine. Also when I look in the preferences I can see the backup from my 3GS!  Really confused....

    Your Powerbook 6,8 (the 1.5GHz 12" model, correct?) was never shipped with OS X 10.4.6 discs, so you were sold installer discs with it that are specific to a different Powerbook model and can't be used on yours. Contact the seller and ask for the correct discs, but don't hold out too much hope of getting them at this point. The seller probably has no idea how to identify them even if he has them — it's really very hard to do.
    What you will probably need is a retail (universal) installer DVD of OS X v. 10.4.3 through 10.4.11 or any version of 10.5.x. Don't buy any disc that has a gray label, nor one that says "Upgrade" or mentions the name of any Mac model on its label.

  • HT201412 Held Sleep & Home buttons on my iPod Touch (1st Gen.) during restoration process, now won't turn back on. What can I do myself to fix this? Thank!

    In short, I was accidentally restoring/resetting my 1st generaton iPod Touch and I wanted to quickly get out of that, so I rebooted as you all know is that I held the Sleep and Home buttons together, and now, it doesn't want to turn on at all! When I try to turn on, only the "Apple" symbol appears ad disappears, goes back off, no power, after a few seconds. Any heard of this or experienced something similar? Anyone know any tricks if so? And, no, I have no time to go to AppleCare, especially since it's an outdated, 1st genration iPod Touch, and for that I feel no need to make an urgent appointment to them. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I previously owned an iPad. I want to restore my iBook collection from my iPad to my Macbook. I can only see my collections but not the books. How can I restore it from my iPad backup?

    I prevsiouly owned an Ipad. Before selling it, I backup it on my Macbook. When the new Mavericks has been released, i upgraded my Mac. Now that I have iBooks on my Mac, I want to restore my iBook collection from my previous Ipad to my Mac. On my Mac, I can only see the iBooks collection of my previous iPad but not the books that I have purchased. I probably had more than a hundred books on my collection (in epub and pdf formats). I have already tried transferring purchases in iTunes and adding to my Library but to no avail.
    Can anyone give me a solution to this.

    Restore as a NEW device to test. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

    You cannot call anyone.  You contact them as everyone else does:  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    You delete the app as you do any other app.  Hold an icon until they wiggle.  Tap the "x".  This is covered in the manual.
