IOS 5 Upgrade finished and to restore it wants a password.

I upgraded my ipad last night and after the upgrade it tried to restore the data, but it asked for a password. I dont remember setting up a password for the backup. I also have never had to use a password to complete my upgrade before. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how do I get my data restored?

Yes, on my iphone. Lost 400 photos, all my notes (extensive contractor contacts), and contacts.

Just upgraded IOS to V7 and iphone is asking for a password and the online password will not work. I really need to get this sorted as I am away and need to get the phone working.

Surely the current ID and Password would work . Anyway I will see how I get on with the Device Password.
No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone?

I have the IPAD3 and have set uip to receive both personal and work emails - I want to password protect both so children cannot access - is this possible ?

You can Password protect your iPad, but if you want your children to play games on your iPad, then one you unlock it, they have full access, there is not an option to password apps, such as the Mail app.

HT201412 When upgrading from ios 4.3.3 to latest 6.0.1 upgrade fails and cannot restore.

Hi I'm getting grief with my iPhone
Tried to update ios on my iPhone 4 from 4.3.3 to latest version 6 and it fails. Tried to restore but that fails. Run diagnostics and reports all OK. Running iTunes on PC running XP Pro SP3
Please HELP!!!

As always, everything on your iphone should be on your computer. Nothing should be on the iphone only.
Your apps and music should be in itunes on your computer. If for some reason it is not, then put it there.
You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your computer regularly.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regualrly.

IOS upgrade failed, forced to restore--but how...?

Well, I plugged in my iPhone4 last night, set it up to upgrade, and left it alone for a few hours. Just before I went to bed, I checked on it, and there was a popup that said "unable to upgrade" (or words to that effect). My iPhone was in the cradle with a black screen, the silver apple, and a non-moving empty status bar. I removed it and re-booted it (since I didn't know what else to do).
So, up pops the 'please plug in to iTunes' graphic, so I did, and was prompted to Restore, I did, and then was prompted to restore from backup (from 9.12pm yesterday, so quite fresh). I did--or so I thought.
Got up this morning and grabbed the iPhone out of the dock--and then noted it had prompted me--at some point--to reconfirm my iCloud password. I did. Unfortunately, now I seem to have all my apps greyed out and labeled Waiting.
Fortunately, I have wifi here at work, but not sure what to do next. Will these apps restore themselves during the day? Do I need to re-initiate a Restore?
Thanks in advance...

If you are trying too downgrade you are finding out that you can't downgrade back too IOS 5.1.1

Have you tried to force the iPad into Recovery Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097

For the last 4 months I can not send any mail from my mac mail account. It will receive but not send. I have to use my Yahoo or Gmail account to send anything. When I forward or try to send a new email, a box wants my password. IT won't take my password.

A box comes up after I try and send an email wanting my password. I put the password in, the box disappers, then shows up again empty wanting my password. The same password is used to access Apple but Mac Mail will not accept it. It just stop sending about four months ago.

It is possible that you are in a transition period of time when Apple is shutting down the mobileME website. In fact, Mobileme.com is closed at this moment. I can see where you might be receiving email traffic and yet being unable to send email out using the mobileme/ mac dot com emaill address. Check this article out from Gigaom.

Thanks anyway for your help.
But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted).

Faulty Backup and Restore with IOS Upgrade

I was upgrading the IOS on my wife's iPhone 4 yesterday. I made one click to upgrade when iTunes recognized the upgrade was available. The process then backed up the iPhone, installed the upgrade, and Restored from the backup.
When the process was finished the iPhone had not been restored to where it was before the upgrade. Notes were not recovered and neither were text messages and other items.
I went back to attempt another restore thinking something had gone wrong and the last restore listed said "Date Unavailable".
I have no idea what happend and I made no choices other that to proceed with the IOS upgrade. Is there any way of determining information about that last restore and can I recover this missing data?

Dear user52,
Let me give an example.
SOURCEDB> create table dept(deptno number,dname varchar2(10)) tablespace PRODDATA;
Table created;
If I export this table from say some user and want to import to another database in user schema say USER52 and if either PRODDATA tablespace is present in destination database and USER52 does not have quota or PRODDATA is not at all present, then oracle will complain either by saying privilege not present to store the table or tablespace PRODDATA does not exist.

I upgraded my Iphone 4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and I'm stuck in recovery mode and my phone won't restore and gives me error (1) What do I do?

I upgraded my iphone4 wirelessly to iOS 5.1 and now I'm stuck in recovery mode and when I try and restore my phone it gives me error code (1) At this point,
I want a working phone. Any ideas?

download a program called RecBoot, very easy to use, connect your iphone and click on "exit recovery mode" and it will restart normally. I had the same problem as you, but I solved it with this program.

My iPad free space was shrinking. Previously I did an iOS upgrade and got more free space so I tried a restore and the same thing happened. Do I have a setting wrong?

My iPad free space was shrinking. Previously I did an iOS upgrade and got more free space so I tried a restore and the same thing happened. Do I have a setting wrong? There was a significant change from 4.3 GB to now 10.2 GB. I still have all the same apps, photos, songs, etc. So what's up? Why does my space not recover after I delete things?

This is what I did to resolve the issue. First I did a simple Reset (Home and on/off until the Apple logo appears) and it didn't help. Then I did a Restore with a reload from the backup and that also accomplished nothing. Then, I did a Restore as new with NO reload from backup and that resolved my issue.
IF you choose to try the same thing, here are some cautions. Make absolutely certain that all apps, music, movies, etc. are present in the iTunes library. Also make absolutely certain that all "regular" data, such as pdf files, Word files, etc. are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive. Be aware that you will probably lose all game data (scores, etc.). I did not investigate a solution for that because I don't play many games and I really don't care about the game history. Finally, be forewarned that it is a bit tedius recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.

After iPad ios 5 upgrade, itunes "interrupted while restoring" restore gets error -50. iPad starts in 'configure' mode - can I configure as 'New iPad' and then restore?

After iPad ios 5 upgrade on Win7 64bit pc (x386 iTunes), iTunes gave me error "iTunes was interrupted while restoring, restore again now?" I try to restore but iTunes immediately gives error -50. Apple website says -50 is a timeout, but I have tried all fixes: changed usb ports, new cable, reset iPad, restart pc, remove sim... no good.
iPad starts in 'configure' mode, but won't restore from any of the several iTunes backups I have. Ready to giveup on 'restore'! iPad is sync'ed in iTunes, connects and syncs ok, so I don't want to lose that info.
Can someone from Apple advise - can I 'configure' as 'New iPad' and then restore or sync to recover my Apps and data etc? OR if I 'Restore' from iTunes 'Summary' tab, will I still be able to Sync to restore the iPad Apps and data?
I'm seeing a lot of frustrated Apple users online, hoping that a fix for this problem will help a few of us!! An iOS upgrade should not cause this much pain and wasted effort.

You might already have tried all of these, but just in case:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
2. If you're on a Windows PC, consider uninstalling iTunes and Quicktime, restarting the PC, then reinstalling. This sometimes fixes oddities.
3. Make sure you have no firewall or anti-virus running/active.
4. Try different USB cable; if you're using a cable via a hub, try connecting without the hub. On desktop PCs, the direct (non-internal-hub) USB sockets are usually at the back.
5. If yoiu haven't already done so, download the iOS5 update via the direct links I posted above
6. If using Update doesn't work, use Restore. Option-click (Mac) or Shift-Click (Windows) the Restore button in itunes.
7. Before you to the Restore, right-lick the entry for your device in iTunes and choose Backup from the drop-down menu. You may need this backup later.
If you're srtuck in recovery mode:
- There are some tips here for Windows users
http://thehowto.wikidot.com/ipad-stuck-recovery-mode
- If your device is stuck in Recovery mode, you can try putting it into DFU mode, from which iTunes should be able to Restore, as above. Details here:

I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

Hey, There are afew things you can try.
- Simply turn your phone off and back on again
- Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
- Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
- Close all open applications
Hope this helps!

IPAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore

PAD Mini Locked after iOS upgrade, tried reset on iPAD did not work, plugged in and device not appearing in iTUNEs for reset/restore. Just get an Apple Logo then a flashing blue screen as if it is caught booting up. This has happened twice before and iTunes restore fixed it. But this time device not appearing in iTunes.
Running iTunes for PC. But as stated restore has worked before! Any help greatly appreciated!!

Place the device in DFU mode and let iTunes restore the device to factory condition.

IOS 5 Upgrade finished and to restore it wants a password.
