Passwords included in iCloud backup?

This is something I couldn't find an answer for yet. I encrypt the iTunes backup of my iPhone and iPad to make sure that I don't have to enter all the passwords after restoring a device. Yes, I'm lazy.
When I switch to iCloud backups, will this change? Are the passwords included in the backup? Thanks!

No. Only your iTunes purchases, documents, photos, etc.

  • HT5625 I forgot my password for my icloud backup, how can I retrive?

    I forgot my password on my icloud backup, how can I retrive?

    There is no password for connecting a mouse.  There's passwords for logging in.  Perhaps passwords from waking from sleep or screen saver. 
    Perhaps you mean how do you pair it to your machine.  If it works as it should go into your mouse system preferences and click the "Set up bluetooth mouse" button.

  • HT4436 I forgot my icloud backup password. How do I reset it? (NOT my Apple ID, but the password for my backup)

    I completely forgot the password to my icloud backup of my iphone. Had to reset my phone at the apple store today. would deeply love to restore from backup. Help?

    You should be signing in with the ID you use to sign into iCloud, not its email address.
    If you still have the same issue, try entering the birthday one day earliert if you are not in the USA (time zone difference). Failing that, you will need to contact Support.
    To contact  Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you will probably be asked to pay a fee - you could try asking them to handle it free, sometimes they do.

    I cannot activate my iCloud backup of my 4S iPhone, even though I have definitely deactivated Airplane mode, and am connected to Wi-Fi.  I also have a correct Apple/iCloud ID and password. 
    Should I delete my iCloud account and set up a new one??
    Please give me some assistance with this problem!
    Sincerely, Brianrit

    To unfreeze it, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    To troubleshoot your problem with backing up to iCloud, this may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your iPad that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) 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 and try backing up 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.

  • ICloud backup has old non-email Apple ID, no longer have password

    I'm unable to restore my iPhone 4/iOS 6.1.3 backup to my new iPhone 5/iOS 7.0
    Using my new iPhone 5s:
    1. In the Set up your iPhone screen, tap Restore from iCloud Backup.
    2. In in iCloud Sign In screen, I enter my email-based Apple ID and Password, then tap Return.
    3. In the Terms and Conditions screen, tap Agree. In the Terms and Conditions popup dialog, tag Agree again.
    4. In the Choose Backup screen, choose LATEST IPHONE BACKUP (Yesterday, iPhone (iPhone 4)).
    The iPhone 5 now asks me for the the Apple ID password for my old, non-email Apple ID. When I enter the password for my current, email-based Apple ID, I get an alert: Could Not Sign In: Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.
    I'm unable to reset my password using http://appleid.apple.com. When I use the email authentication approach, I never receive the email. When I use the Answer Security Questions approach, it prompts me for the montd, day and year of my birth. When I enter these, I get this message: The authentication information provided does not match our records. Please verify your personal information and try again.
    So apparently my old iPhone 4 is backing itself up using an iCloud account that uses my current email-based Apple ID, but somehow the backups it saves use my old, non-email-based Apple ID, so I can't use them to restore to another device.
    I'm not sure what I should try next. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    I have exactly this issue. A few years ago I changed my Apple ID. No problem then or since then. But today when I try to restore my new iphone 5S from an existing back up - a back up which I created from my iphone 4 just a minute before using the same iCloud/Apple ID - it defaults to an old Apple ID (that I can't change) so when I enter my password (which is actually the same password as for the old Apple ID) it says can't restore from back up (specifically items purchased from iTunes) because the Apple ID and/or password is incorrect. I am like 'yeah, it's incorrect because you have defaulted to the wrong Apple ID doofus'. Any ideas?

    What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.

  • Do iCloud Backups include all of my phone's photos or just the Photo Stream?

    Do iCloud Backups include all of my phone's photos or just the Photo Stream?

    I have only restored an iPhone from a back-up on my computer and when I was done I could not tell the difference between my old phone and the new restored one.
    If I do a restore from iCloud will I get the same results?
    (due to hard drive space limitations, the phone I am replacing/restoring has never been backed up to the computer only iCloud)

  • Is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password

    is your icloud backup password the same as my icloud account password.
    I can get into my icloud but i cant remember the icloud backup password.

    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

    You can recover Your music but not with original names.
    1. Go to Your iPod hard disk
    2. You must to see hidden files (if you don't see them go to in system explorer to Tools > Folder Options > View > and mark Show Hidden Files)
    3. Go to folder named iPod_Control
    4. Copy folder Music - this is Your music but not with originally names
    I'm must to say sorry - my English is not very good - I'm still learning
    I hope it helps

  • After syncing my ipod touch with a new computer, will an icloud backup restore my app data including game progress?

    I have an ipod touch which I have USB synced in the past on my Windows Vista laptop.
    Now I want to stop USB Syncing with the laptop and USB start syncing instead with my Windows 7 Desktop machine instead.
    Both PCs have the latest version of itunes running and I have transferred all purchases from the ipod to the Windows 7 desktop machine.
    Home sharing is turned on on both PCs, so now their libraries appear identical.
    The ipod has the latest IOS installed, and I have set up automatic icloud back ups for the ipod.
    If i USB sync the ipod with the windows 7 desktop PC it warns me that all data will be erased, and replaced with data from that computer. I know that this will mean that all game progress is lost since it is not included in a USB sync backup and virgin copies of all the apps will be loaded onto the ipod.
    My Question is this;
    What is the best way to keep the app data intact on the ipod?
    Do I simply carry out a USB sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC, let it wipe all the game save info away, and then resore an icloud backup onto the ipod?
    Will this result in me being able to sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC and keep my game save data intact?
    Thanks

    Two ways.
    - You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
    Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
    All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
    - Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.
