IOS 5 issues, back up restore password.
I never created a back up restore password but itunes is asking me for one. I can't back up my ipod unless I figure this out. I've lost al my pics and videos. Please help if you can.
No, if you can't remember the password then you won't be able to restore to that backup - there wouldn't be much use in having password protected backups if the password could be bypassed

After upgrading to OS5, I have tried to restore back-up but I cannot remember my password. Any way to crack the password as the upgrade has wiped my iPad2?

How do I restore the back up from my old iPhone 5 which is IOS 8.1.3 to my new iPhone 6 which is IOS 8? It's not coming up as an available back up restore option? Am I able to set up as a new iPhone and then update the new phone to IOS 8.1.3 and then restore from my old iPhone 5 back up at that stage?
Setup your new phone, then update to iOS 8.1.3. Once done: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings". At the setup screen you'll now be able to select your old phone's backup.

Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process I lost all my apps on my phone. If I use the back up option on itunes, will it restore my iphone to my old IOS? Please help!
If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

if I backed up with a newer version of iOS than the phone I am trying to backup to.. Is there any way to bypass the setup assistant in order to download the new iOS on the new phone then go back and restore from my old phone?
Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

I update my I phone3Gs , but when I go back to restore it from my back up its asking me password to unlock the backup but I did not mention or add any password please adivse
If you did not enable backup encryption and it is now asking for a password, the backup is corrupt.
There is no way to remove the "password".
Restore the device as new and sync back your content. Everything should already be in iTunes. -
Back up & restore issue after updating to 4.3
Before updating my SP from 4.1 to JB 4.3 I made a backup using tool "Back up & restore" on SD card. But now after updating to JB 4.3 I'm unable to restore that backup. It says "Cannot restore, Selected backup records cannot be used due to incompatible software versions. Please select a more recent backup file".Is there any way resolve this? I need to restore my old Contacts, I don't care about rest of the data.
It's unvelibable!If Sony provides a Backup & Restore tool, it is intended to do exactly as expected: backups that can be restored.
I made backups to be sure all my valueable data is not lost.Now my mobile has been stolen :-(Don't worry, I think, I have a backup of all important data.Nooo!! Say Sony's tool: you have a different version of Android now, so you CAN NOT restore any data.And say: updates the old phone (the stolen one), and make a NEW backup. Ok, it is not admisible! You must provide a tool that can restore data without (impossible) conditions. This is not a tool, this is a secure way of throw away all of your important data!! I'm very angry! This contacts are not my friends, are business contacts and I'm loosing money because of that >:-( -

Restore password - can't remember, what to do?
After download iso5, iTune asks for restore password, I can't remember it, what to do? Help!
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.

I changed my AppleID password this morning and now I can't load gift card numbers into iTunes to download music. The system takes me to the account settings screen to verify those and when I click on DONE, it takes me back to the password screen and I start over. This becomes an endless loop. What now.
Greetings Ron,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with gift card issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you can't redeem your iTunes Gift Card or code
Contact iTunes Store Support
If the code is completely scratched off or you still can't redeem your gift card, contact iTunes Support:
Go to the iTunes Store support page and choose your country.
From the menu on the left, choose Contact Support.
Click Contact iTunes Store Support.
Follow the instructions.
iTunes Store Support might ask you to send these things:
Image of the full front and back of your gift card
Sales receipt showing when your card was purchased
Serial number from your gift card
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I had recently lost my iPhone and the last time I connected (backed up my iOS) to my computer was around a year and half ago because after that my laptop got ruined. And when I went online to access my backup/information on iCloud nothing comes up. Now I bought a new laptop and backed up all my data from my old latop to my new laptop, and I want to have all my iOS information backed up on my new iPhone. If possible, how can I make that happen. Please help, much appreciated.
Thank youBarnsleyMif wrote:
I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone
No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?
Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.
