TS3682 My iTunes is asking me for a password to restore my back up however I never set one up, I have tried my Apple ID password, my computers password and have had no luck.
My iTunes is asking me for a password to restore my latest back up, but I never set one and none of my passwords I use work, how am I supposed to restore?
Sorry if you don't know your encrypted backup password, you won't be able to use it.

I have Windows xp on my oldercomputer and Windows7 on my new laptop. I synchedmy iphone4 to the old one . When I tried to synch to the new one, everything got screwed up and it had to be restored at the Apple store. . Can I synch it to the old one to get bac kmy stuff and then to the new latptop so I can back it up?
Not sure if this applies to your region, but in Australia the SIM password is often written on the "credit card" sized plastic card that the SIM was provided to you with the phone by the telco. Do you still have this? It could be in the iPhone box?

If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click "iTunes Store" in the left navigation pane. Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click "Edit." Select the "None" button and click "Done." Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

I need to sync my iphone as its damaged ( water submersion) i can't though as itunes is asking me for my passcode and my screen doesn't work, the phones on though still ringing etc ... Please help
You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”. -
ok i have been trying to download albums, songs, apps, etc. and my itunes keeps asking me for the security question and for the life of me i cant remember the answers. I dont know what the email is that receives the question reset. is there anything i can do to fix this or am i screwed?
If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

How do i get itunes to ask me for my password after downloading an app?
pretty simple, when i download an app it just doenloads automatically. i want itunes to ask me for my password but it wont?
By default, the App Store will request your Apple ID password once, and then for the next 15 minutes (or so, I beleive), it will not require it again. If you want to change that behavior, enable restrictions (making sure to memorize the passcode you create), and change the default to 'Immediately'.

i bought a iphone froma friend just to use for a ipod but when i put it up to itunes it ask me for a sim card i dont have one and i was wonderiing how do i pass this problem
Insert a SIM card. If the phone is carrier locked, it must be from the correct carrier. You MUST have a SIM card present to activate the device. The SIM does NOT have to be "live". That is to say, the account it is/was tied to, does not have to be active.

My ipad is asking for a passcode yet i have never set one
Has anyone got any idea if there's a default passcode as I have never set one myself. I have tried many simple codes i.e. 1234 but nothing seems to work
I have just done the iOS 7 update to my disabled son's iPad, which he uses every day for therapies, and now its suddenly asking for a passcode too! After update had finished there was jut suddenly this keypad on the screen asking for passcode, and I have never had or set one before!
Madame as you I tried generic ones, 0000, 1234 etc and all I managed to do was get the iPad disabled from entering too many wrong codes!
Ridiculous that this update sets a passcode lock yet doesn't inform you in any way of what it is!
I have been locked out for days now and I don't know how to get in!
Now apple have release iOS 7.0.2 as a "bug fix" which excited me when I initially saw it this morning but turns out their idea of a big fix for this passcode problem is to create a fix that stops people being able to bypass the passcode!!
God I wish I COULD bypass the thing, but I can't and yet that's what apple decides to do a big fix for, not the fact that I and from what I can see online, many others, have been locked out of our own devices since doing their stupid iOS 7 update!!
Links that are for forgotten passcodes are no help at all as they are for people who have had one and forgotten it, when you plug your device into iTunes, if you've ever created a passcode, there is a button you can see to "change passcode" but for me this is grayed out because I have never created one!
If anyone has solved this problem above, although not exactly the same as mine, pleas please reply and help!
Or if you've seen talk and fixes about this same issue with iOS 7 update please let me know? My son really needs his iPad! I'm also too scared now to update my iPhone in case same thing happens and I'm left without a phone!

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is! Can anyone help??
You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

My MacBook is asking for a password to install a program, but I didn't set one.
My MacBook is asking for a password to install a program, but I didn't set one. I've just completely wiped my laptop due to corrupt files, which an Apple Genius in the store helped me with, and we didn't set a password. I'm now home and trying to download programs that I had on before, and it's asking for a password. I try to go to "change password" and it asks for the old before I can enter the new, but there is no old. What should I do?
Hello chilondon,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The password your Mac is prompting you for is your administrator password for the computer. If none of the attempts to enter it in worked, including leaving it blank, you can reset the password by following the directions in the link below.

I just updated the software on my iPad2 and now it's asking for my passcode but I never set one. How can I fix this?
I fixed it!!
While not connected to any USB cable I put the iPad in recovery mode.
To do that turn the iPad completely off. Press and hold the home button while turning the iPad on, once you see the apple logo release the home button.
Turn on your OS X mac after it boots up connect the USB from iPod to Mac. iTunes should start. If not launch itunes.
Perform the factory restore process paying attention to all of the screen message windows. Then set up the ipad like it was new. -
