iPhone restore backup encryption bug in iTunes

First the details of my system:

El Capitan 10.11.6

iPhone iOS 6 10.0.2

iTunes 12.5.1.21

Steps to reproduce:

1 backup the by using the encrypted password (current running iOS 10) iPhone

2. once the backup is complete change password encrypted from A to B

3. restore the iPhone using the backup.

The backup cannot be restored with A password or password B.

I think that most people would say I forgot the password B. You would be a mistake. Password B was stored in my keychain and it wouldn't work. To check that I had the correct password, I downloaded a password free utility cracking. For some reason, these utilities are available for Windows only. I used the utility of tenorshare. Since I was sure I knew the password, I used boxes of prefix and suffix of the utility to verify that the password is correct. The utility shows you only the first 2 characters of your password once he finds her. Since I am sure that I knew the password, I put the first 7 characters of the password in the prefix box password and he assumes that the last of them (which I knew that). Then I put the first 6 characters of the password in the prefix area of password and the last character in the zone suffix and guess the second to the last character (which I knew that too). In both cases, he finds the password, which confirmed that all my characters were correct, but iTunes would not accept. At this point, I was convinced this is an Apple bug, so I googled some more and found this blog https://deciphertools.com/blog/ios-10-backup-password-incorrect/ which confirms:

"If you recently changed your password backup in iTunes, and iTunes is now reports that 'the password was incorrect' when you try to restore this backup, then we may be able to help."

There is a small problem affecting backups iOS 10 - sometimes changing password causes backup the password being rejected (both new and old passwords) when you try to use the backup that you did. »

I was able to solve my problem of password associated with the procedure.

My backup was too important to wait for a solution possible iTunes. Apple should recognize this problem and have a fix as soon as POSSIBLE.

  • iPhone restore via iTunes or iCloud?

    I just got my iPhone SE yesterday and the need to put in place. I prefer to start fresh, but I understand that this is not possible if you have an Apple Watch and you want to maintain your health/fitness data - you have to perform a restore.

    I did a restore to iCloud, but it takes forever. My phone did the initial restoration part and I use the phone, but almost no apps are on the device (all off) and there are many who are partially installed - the small animation of pie is done percentage.

    Also, for the control of certain items to oneline to this topic, I went to settings | iCloud | Backup copy. He said briefly restored my device, but now it doesn't, and the rocker "iCloud backup" has been changed to off. I did not touch anything on this page or stop the restore. I tried to turn on the backup switch, but the switch has been deactivated - may be normal in the process of restoration?

    However, if I go to iCloud. Storage | Manage storage, it shows my new phone and said "backup options will be available when your iPhone is restored from the backup."

    For example, a screen confirms at least than a restore happening. Also, when I'm on my home screen, the circle of spinning next to the WiFi icon is spinning, indicating something is happening, but he did this for hours and he made no visible progress.

    So, my question:

    1. I'll be patient and let it continue?
    2. Should I just wipe the device, plug it into iTunes and make an iCloud restore from there?
    3. Should I just wipe the device, plug it into iTunes, and do an iTunes restore - I reinforced my old phone twice before it - encrypted iCloud and iTunes.

    Thanks for any help. Everything is on iOS 9.3.2.

    Numbers 3, from iTunes.

    I always prefer to use encrypted iTunes backup. It seems faster, not dependent on the vagaries of Internet connection speed and you can also synchronize immediately.

    Backups do not include the apps and all but the most recent photos. They must be synchronized and downloaded again, so I leave the iPhone plugged into the USB power.

  • iTunes for iPad and iPhone PC backups 12.3 disappeared

    I am running Windows 10 and iTunes 12.3 and have several previous backups of iPhones and iPads, with which I've never had a problem (well, there is always a problem, but not this one). Now iTunes can't find backups. They are in the folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup (about 10 of them), but the iTunes preferences > devices shows no backup on this computer. Why does iTunes pick this up? And why I can't navigate for them? (Duh... iTunes does not allow to browse your computer for backups. It's only for 12 years).

    In addition, I did a backup of my computer, and the 'Back Up Now' and 'Restore backup' grayed out and the ' last backup: "said"your iPad has ever been saved on this computer. The backup is displayed in the folder above subsequently, but it does not save iTunes. I closed iTunes and rebooted. Still no backup device in the devices. And he always says "your iPad has never been saved on this computer", but it is nice enough to ask me if I want to make a backup. NO! I DON'T WANT TO MAKE A BACKUP! I JUST want TO HAVE ACCESS to THAT I just HAVE to!

    I got since 4 iPhones and iTunes since the same time, and I've done several times. There has ALWAYS been some kind of problem. I've always hated this program, but you need if you want to get your Apple devices on your computer.

    I think that iTunes would let you to browse for a backup. I use this program because I have to. Apple backups aren't really backups. iTunes backup of the operating system and applications (not all), but that's all. For me the backup is just that: a BACKUP. This means I save all THE data (or at least what I chose).

    Whenever I have back up and restore my Apple devices, I make sure that I export all data from all applications (in other words, if they allow it even and not more) or I have to re - download all my data or books, songs, PDF files and whether, from the original place where I have purchased or downloaded. That means free books don't get supported.

    I'm aware that I'm ranting, but I've always been frustrated by iTunes, because she is very small and has always been problematic. It is designed only to "purchases" commercial from Apple or other (perhaps) or for other commercial stuff, but never for your own personal use and I have a lot of personal data on my devices. iTunes DOESN'T backup the personal data. Of course, the program is free and a better program costs money, but even Windows provides a method for backing up my computer and I can back up everything of him, not only what Apple thinks is necessary.

    If they have backed up everything on your backup device would take ages - I have a 128 GB iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad mini - cannot afford to have three back ups of around this waist sitting on my PC.  Regarding the Apps it back to the top of such things when you are in a game and your scores, but not the actual application (I noticed when I got my last iPhone Apps that worked on that I had and put back them on the camera, but they picked up my library, not from the back to the top).

    You're not back up your iTunes library on the computer to make it there if necessary?  I do not use the cloud at all, I am doing everything via my PC (and have my laptop set in place with the same data backup in case of failure of the computer).  As we don't always have access to be able to download things if a device does not work (when ago far often data signal is very weak) I have never counted on the cloud even though I know that it suits a lot of people to use it.  Once the data is on my PC I have backup on an external hard drive.

    By doing this you don't have to re - download anything, you simply drag and drop the back on your device.

    Can't help with the unavailability of your inverter, but have you rebooted the iPad as it seems that your computer is not recognized among you have used before?

  • How can I get my backup iOS9 stick? 'Restore backup' updates automatically to iOS10 once again without asking me first.

    Title says it all. I HATE iOS10 and I have a backup of iOS9 into iTunes from just before the update, but whenever I try to "restore from backup" it automatically updates new back 10 without asking me.

    Help, please. 10 is a total disaster on my iPhone 5s; endless crashing and overheating. I just want my phone works again... and dump iOS10 like a bad date.

    Latest version of iTunes is running. 10.9.5 OS on a Macbook Pro.

    Sorry, but you cannot go back to 9. It is not an option. I have two iPhone fives on iOS 10.0.2 with no problems. Your must not be crashing or overheating. I suspect a corrupted app that comes back with the restore of the backup. Can try a restore as new to test.

  • Restore backup possible without upgrade?

    So, there's the simple question to which I was not able to find an unequivocal answer:

    Can I restore my iPhone without having to upgrade to the latest IOS?

    It seems that when restoring the iphone tent/applications updated. I don't know if you can cancel that.

    I have an iphone 4s, it runs ios 7.1.2 it is not jailbroken or locked provider. I made a manual backup to ICloud and Itunes and so can restore from one or the other.

    (My main goal is to get rid of about 6 GB on the 'other' files. For this I will erase all the data and then restore the backup)

    Thank you

    Clear the phone settings and then restore a backup to iCloud will not result an iOS update to occur. It will retain the iOS which is currently on the phone. That I'm absolutely sure. With iTunes, you devriez be able to cancel the update request and simply restore the backup, but unfortunately I can't talk with the same certainty of this method.

  • Problem with iPhone and iPad ios10 connect with iTunes version 12.2.2

    Yesterday, I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to ios10 successfully. However, when I try to connect to my Macbook OSX version 10.7.5 running with iTunes version 12.2.2.25 it gave me this error "iTunes could not connect to the iPad because an invalid response was received from the device." I got the same error when I connect my iPhone as well.

    Now I can't restore my iPad or iPhone in low-grade IOS because iTunes can not see my devices.

    Someone at - it this experience after upgrade to ios10?

    Hi Had3s,

    I understand that after updating to iOS 10, your MacBook is more recognized in iTunes. I know it's important to be able to sync your iPhone with iTunes, so I'm happy to help you.

    Read this article that covers some common troubleshooting for this issue:
    If iTunes does not recognize your iPhone, iPad or iPod - Apple Support

    Note that the likely cause here is an older version of iTunes. Since iOS 10 is still new, it is important to have the latest version of iTunes installed. Currently, it is 12.5.1, that requires OS X 10.9.5 or later version must be installed:
    iTunes - download iTunes - Apple

    Since you currently have OS X installed 10.7.5, you'll want to update to OS X as well. You can see more info on how to upgrade to the latest version of Mac OS X here:

  • iPhone 6 will not register in iTunes

    My iphone 6 will not enroll in itunes. No doubt connects with the PC (Dell Inspiron 23 model 5348).  Think that there is problem with the Apple driver. Can anyone help?

    If your iOS device does not appear in iTunes, try the following:

    1. Open Control Panel > Device Manager
    2. Plug in your device
    3. Locate Bus USB Controllers > Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
      It is also possible that the device may appear under imaging devices, portable devices or other devices or as a device USB of MTB.
    4. Right-click and select software update of the driver...
    5. Click Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Go to C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support\Drivers or
      C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers
    7. Click on let me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer
    8. Click on Apple Mobile Device USB Driver
    9. Click Next, then close and exit the Device Manager

    To step 3 above, open the Device Manager. Expand one of the articles that are listed.

    • USB Bus controllers

    Plug in the appliance. You should hear the telltale Windows sound device connection and a Division must acquire a new entry. This should be your device. It cannot be labelled properly at this point. If you do not hear a suspicious noise cable damaged.

    Or try If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod - Apple Support Apple version of the above opinion.

    If not try a complete tear down and rebuild iTunes in accordance with the resolution of the problems with iTunes for Windows updates. 64-bit users might also try the build replacing iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for older video cards) which is sometimes a useful workaround.

    Or try to go back to the last version of iTunes that has worked for you. See the programs installation of iTunes to download links. If you're back 12.4.0.119 to 12.3.3.17 or 12.3.2.35, for example, then you will also need to restore the database of the library using the method described in the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. The tip makes suggestions to reintroduce recent purchases, so at worst, you lose a few meters or a newly created playlist.

  • backup from iPad to iTunes without setting up as new

    How can I save my iPad from 6 months to my computer for the first time using iTunes without setting it up as a new iPad?

    I offer the choice to restore a backup of my iPad 3 (certainly are not) or to implement the iPad Pro as a new device. I'm assuming this option, all on my iPad, which all can be saved to iCloud, is erased.

    ICloud purchase more storage for this one-time backup is not an option because of the sensitive information that I don't want in iCloud.

    Bonus question: my iPad Pro use the same Apple ID and has some items synchronized in iCloud, then why wasn't the option to restore this backup offered (even if I don't want that).

    Windows 7

    iPad iOS Pro 9.3.2

    56 GB used, sync that would increase when the rest of my iTunes library (not all available for download again).

    You don't have to restore anything. You should be able to go directly to the area of backups on summary in iTunes screen, select backup on this computer, then select NTI Backup Now.

  • How do I restore the backup from iPad Mini if the button "restore backup...". "is grayed out?

    Hello

    Yesterday, I tried to downgrade my iPad Mini 2 (128 GB) of 9.3 to 9.2 of iOS in DFU mode. Before that, I backed up my iPad in iTunes. After decommissioning, apparently all of my 3rd party apps have been wiped out, and that left me with a huge 'other' part of the use of the iPad. So I decided to reset the iPad and erase everything. I noticed that after the reset, the iOS returned to 9.2.1.

    When I plugged the iPad to my computer later, and tried to restore the backup, I got the message "the backup cannot be restored for iPad because the software is too old". In addition, in the iTunes iPad summary page, the button "restore backup... "is grayed out.

    I guess it's because I backed up my iPad to iOS 9.3, and now it's 9.2.1. But y at - it another way to restore backup of iTunes? Or do I have to update to 9.3 first? iOS 9.3 is currently unavailable (last week it was, however).

    Thank you!

    You cannot restore a more recent iOS backup on a device that has an older iOS. You have saved when running iOS 9.3 and your device is now in 9.2.1. You must update the device until backup, you can ise. Unfortunately, as you know, the update is no longer available. Apple shoot because there were significant problems.
