Password for encrypted back up to iphone

I dont remember my password for iphone encrypted back up. Does anyone know a way of contacting Apple to allow me to do this as will take me ages to input over 600 contacts. Or do they know a way of getting my contacts off my many Ipads that have them on as well?

Apple doesn't keep copies of the passwords to your back ups. Contacting them would be of little use.
What sort of account do you have your contacts synced with? Gmail? iCloud? Outlook? Something else?

  • Hi I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked with what shall I do? PLease help

    Hello everybody
    I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

    I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

  • IMac indicating Password for Gmail is incorrect but iPhone and iPad are both able to connect to gmail account....how do I correct this on the iMac?

    iMac indicating Password for Gmail is incorrect but iPhone and iPad are both able to connect to gmail account....how do I correct this on the iMac?

    Try This:
    Open up the imessage app on your Imac.  Once you have it opened go to top left corner of your screen next to the apple picture and the word MESSAGES appears. Click on it then click on preferences and uncheck your husbands phone and number and or any other numbers which are checked. I had same problem this fixed it. Also if you wanted to you can open up your own Apple account, but that's not really necessary. My wife and I both share the same as you do

  • Password for encrypted backup of device

    I need help to change the type of encryption for my iPhone and iPad backups in itunes. I have tried all the passwords I ve used in years and have no clue. Somewhere in Support I found an instruction that did not lead to clearing the password. It did send me to backup to iCloud and do a restoere from there. But this is not what I am trying to acheive. I already was backing up to iCloud. If I need to do a restore from a backup in iTunes on my PC I cannot do it because I cannot provide a correct passowrd for the encrypted backup.
    Can anyone help me with a solution?

    If the user cannot remember the password for the backup, the backup is useless.  There is no way to reset or remove the password requirement.
    If the user did not enable backup encryption, the backup is corrupt.
    In other words, the backup is no good without the password, delete it and move on with life.

  • Where will I get my password for Orange livebox to allow iphone wifi

    Where can I find out the password for my orange livebox which I use at home to allow my iphone to pair up and use wifi when I am at home.
    I have tried the 26 digit number on the bottom of the livebox but the iphone password box wont accept 26 digits
    Can anyone please advise? Many thanks.

    I have the orange live box and iPhone did accept all 26 digits of the password. What you might find it easier though, is to type the password into Notes first of all, then copy it, and paste it into the password section. You'll have to press and hold the left-hand button on the back of the livewire box before it can connect.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Password for iCloud is incorrect on iPhone.  How do I change it?

    incorrect i Cloud password on iphone 4.  How do I correct it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • Password for encrypted external hardrive is not accepted, but correct in keychain

    Last night in umounted my encrpyted external harddrive from my Macbook. This morning I reattached it  back, and I was asked for my password, even that I have checked "Save password to keychain" which would automount it automatically, which worked fine for several months.....
    So I tried entering it my password several times, but it was not accepted.  I opend up the keychain management tool and you can unhide the password. The password I am entering is matching with that one stored in the keychain. I entered my password in a Terminal/Editor to see that for some funny reason the keymapping is wrong or something, and tried different USB ports for the hard drive. Nothing works..... So, what is happening here ?

    Hi Eric
    Thanks for you suggestion, I tried that, but the hard drive wouldn't react for 2-3 days. Also the tool said that there are no problems with the keys etc, IIRC.
    It looked like the filesystem had problems which wouldn't be repaired until unlocked, which wouldn't unlock until repaired (chicken-egg-problem).
    Then out of a sudden, it worked again, mysteriously. I bought a Timecapsule to have a backup device in general, and while I was setting up my network and stuff I realised that the icon for my harddrive appeared on the screen for no apparent reason. It works now as normal es ever, as nothing strange ever had happened. I had set the same password for my TC as I am using for encryption for the external drive.....
    I still don't know what really happened, but kids make sure, that you even backup your backups!
    Regards

  • I tried to update my ipod and had to back up on computer. I never created a password for the back up but now I can't get into my ipod

    I am locked out of my iPod. I tried to update the iPod so I could download a song I just bought. Had to back up the library on my computer. After I installed the software and updated the iPod, iTunes is asking for the password for the backup, but I never typed a password. Now I can't get into my iPod at all.

    That happens some times.
    - You can restore to factorys settings/new iPod or

  • Please Help me : I Didn't set any password for my back up and now it's locked what should i do ?

    Hi , i just restored my iPhone and now that i wanna restore my backup (contacts) it's locked i didnt put any password when i was backing up , any idea ?

    Encrypting an iPhone backup doesn't happen accidentally. Either yourself or someone had to specifically select that option...by someone, that could be a work Exchange account...a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account can force the encryption of iPhone backups.

  • Password for encrypted backup on Time Capsule never asked

    Hello,
    My system is Mac OS 10.8.3 on a MacBook Pro.
    I do encrypted backups with Time Machine on a Time Capsule.
    I wonder why I am never asked the password I chose when encrypting for the first time, especially when I do "Enter Time Machine".
    As a comparison, I also have external disks formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted)".
    When I connect such an external disk to my laptop, before it is mounted I am asked the password I chose when formatting, which sounds good.
    Thanks

    When you originally set up the Time Capsule, you were asked to establish a Time Capsule or Base Station "device" password, which is stored in KeyChain Access on your Mac.
    Rather than have to enter the Time Capsule Base Station device password each time that you access the device, KeyChain Access on your Mac remembers the password and enters it for you when your Mac connects to the Time Capsule.
    If you do not want KeyChain Access to remember your password, and you do want to be asked to enter the password each time that you connect to the Time Capsule disk, then change the password using AirPort Utility and remove the check mark next to "Remember this password in my keychain" in AirPort Utility. Then, click Update to save the new settings.
    It is much easier to let KeyChain Access remember your password on your Mac, but you can do it all manually if you wish.  Remember that other users will not be able to access the Time Capsule disk unless you have given the device password to them.

  • Lost password for encrypted disk image

    i created a encrypted disk image to store some personal files and now i can not remember my password and its not in my key chain is there a way to reset the password or at least recover the files.

    If you could access the files on an encrypted disk image without knowing the password, there wouldn't be much point in encrypting it.
    Do you remember anything at all about the password? Was it a name, or a dictionary word? If so, there might be hope of cracking it before the Earth passes away. You'd need the help of a consultant to do that.
