IPhone :: Retrieve Data From Encrypted Backup (failed In Itunes) - I Have The Password?
May 3, 2012
I know there are other software that may help to retrive the data but it doesn't work with encrypted backup.Now i have the password, i have the encrypted backup (failed to recover in itunes).What can i do? is it possible to remove the password from the encrypted backup provided that i have the password?
I have downloaded a new version of iOS. And now trying to restore all of the information from the backup from itunes and it wants an encrypted password. I have never created a password for back up and I don't know what to do!!! my phone is dead now!
I was at a Genius Bar earlier today and they gave me a replacement iPhone 4. I had my laptop with me to transfer everything over and the guy working commented that I shouldn't use data encryption on the backup, so I said fine and he deactivated the option. I believe it was at this point that I was asked to enter the password, which I did. After a long time processing, there was an error message at the end. I wish I could remember what it said, but the guy said it should be fine. He wiped my phone I was returning, and then we set about to restore my new phone from the backup. Only problem is now iTunes doesn't recognize the password from my encrypted backup (this is the only one available). I don't know if something was corrupted during the attempt to deactivate encryption, or if this could be something else? I am positive I know the password—I entered it earlier in the process, and besides, it's the same as my passcode.
I was basically ushered out of the store because the guy said he didn't know what else to do. He just muttered some stuff about third party programs which Apple doesn't support which could retrieve data from a backup. I asked how those could possibly work on an encrypted backup and he didn't seem to have an answer.
I am trying to restore my iphone3 everything ok till it asked for the password on my encryption I have forgotten it how can I restore my phones settings from the encrypted backup.
Knowledge Base articles tell me that in order to recover from forgetting my iPhone 5s's encrypted backup password, I have to erase the iPhone and set it up as a new device, then restore it from my backup. However, one thing is not clear -- am I right in understanding that the restored backup will no longer be encrypted? and/or does restoring the backup allow me to specify a new backup scheme that does not encrypt future backups? I find it difficult to understand how/when the former encryption is removed.Â
I backed up my iphone 4 to itunes (not icloud) yesterday, and today i went to the apple store to see if they could fix a broken lock button. They issued me a new phone, and assured me that i woult be able to retrieve my camera roll photos after restoring my phone from backup. Everything restored to my phone EXCEPT the photos. Some of them are very important to me and i would like to know if there is a way to retreive all of the photos through my computer, phone or itunes.
The iTunes data on the computer my iPhone was firstly connected and configurated with has been deleted. I was looking for an opportunity to update my iPhone to the newest iOS software (since it was on 5.0) without erasing all the data saved on my mobile. But that time I did not know that all data will be erased when upgrading a device a complete version (like from 3.0 to 4.0 or 4.0 to 5.0) and then it happened. Several hundred business contacts of mine has been erased and cannot be reset. All functions except the phone/message contacts are unimportant now. MOST IMPORTANT: I connected my iPhone with a new MacBook, updated iTunes to 10.6.3 (current version) and synced my mobile with it. Data will be erased if updating on an unknown computer (for iOS device) where no data which are on my iPhone are saved. Unfortunately, the instructions at iTunes Support were helpless because during the important backup for resetting all datas has been interrupted with the following window: Backup not possible , There are not enough space on the iPhone left to finish the backup.
It has never continued and since then all data has been erased. I would be incredibly glad if anybody could give me at least a tip to do something.
I want to use iTunes to backup my iPhone but I want it to do it the same as iCloud does. So I want it to save app data as well when I try and do it I can store the apps on my computer but not the app data.
I've just updated my iPhone and trying to restore from iTunes back up. iTunes is asking me for a password...I can't remember what it is? Any way I can find out?
I have restored my phone settings and now trying to restore apps & music from Itunes on my computer but is asking for my backup password. I tried my password that I have always used when getting new apps, etc. but that didn't work. I'm loss as to what to do.. I can't even use my phone at this moment because there is nothing on it..
I'm having trouble with using the backup from my previous Iphone 5S to my new HTC One M8.
I have made several backups and using Itunes I am always able to make a complete restore.
I am on a macbook air. The newest Itunes version.
But using HTC Sync manager I am only getting to the point: Transfer and Backup, Iphone, getting started. I only get the message We cannot find any backup of your Iphone in Itunes.
I am a perfectionist, and I am curious. Once, a little while ago, I jailbroke my iPhone 3G (somewhere in de OS 3 saga). I was quite surprised by some new features and I kept the jailbreak for a while. So I got texted, my call history extended et cetera.
But for some reason I wanted to get back to Apples pure, not modded, OS. But I still wanted to have my SMS history and Call History et cetera. On quite a few forums I read about an easy DFU mode and restore with the latest backup I made within iTunes. Written at those forums was that no jailbreak data was backupped in iTunes. Of course, this was a normal backup in iTunes, but from a jailbroken iPhone. I did my restore and my iPhone worked quite well. In fact it still does perfectly, with all histories and logs, in iOS 4.0.1.
But my question is: is there still some data in my iPhone right now from when it was jailbroken, tranfered with a backup created when it was jailbroken? In other words: does a jailbreak affect/harm a usual iPhone backup in iTunes in any way?
So, do I still walk around with some weird strings in my iPhone, or some 0's and 1's in some file?
My iPhone4 will not sync with my computer, giving me the message "iTunes could not backup the iPhone "xxx..." because the backup session failed." I have looked at article TS2529 and followed the steps. My iPhone will sync and backup with another computer with the same version of iTunes, so the problem must be with my computer or iTunes. I have previously synced and backed up fine with this computer, so I suspect there is an issue with corruption of iTunes data files. Should I re-install iTunes, or is there a way to delete the data for my phone that iTunes holds and try syncing again?

if you have an ecrypted Samsung Galaxy S5 you already know that once you've encrypted it your only option for a screen lock is to enter a secure password. This gets annoying fast. When you want to access your phone quickly on the go it can be difficult to unlock it with any speed. Well I've come up with a way to get past the password lock screen with the same speed as a password and consistently quicker than the finger print scanner unlock.
What I've done and I've included on how to do it yourself instructions below. I've set my password to be one of my hot key options on my Samsung keyboard. I've also shortened my delay for the long press but how to do that isnt included here. (hopefully with screen shots we'll see first time attempt at posting pics here)
Doing this will allow you to quickly get by your lock screen and still have an encrypted device.
**NOTE** This is not a substitute to remember your password. Know it regardless of this being setup or not.
**NOTE** If you have auto space turned on (factory default setting) you will need to press backspace 1 time to delete the added space or you will receive an incorrect password error message.
Here's how to do it:
1. Enter the pull down menu and click settings.
2. Tap Language & Input.
3. Now click on the samsung keyboard settings icon.
4. Next if turn on the my hot keys icon.
5. Enter your password under any number to long press to have it typed.
*Don't forget if you have auto space on you will need to press backspace 1 time to delete the space or your password will not work.
I have installed ZumoCast on my Droid Bionic and on my Windows7 PC.Is the data transfer between the devices encrypted? If so, how strong is the encryption key? (128-bit, 256-bit, other?)
