ITunes For Mac :: IPhone Backup Encrypted But No Password Set
Nov 30, 2014
I haven't seen a response from Apple. When I go into iTunes it shows that my backup will be encrypted with a password. I have NEVER backed it up to iTunes, only to the cloud. When I try to disable the encrypt option it asks for a password that I have never set. Many others have said to try every password you've ever had for iTunes as well as your security code on your phone. Oh and why not "000" and "1234" while you are at it. None of these work. It isn't the end of the world for me because I still have the phone and it is backed up on the cloud, but what is the deal Apple? How can I get or set my password since I have never set it in the past?Â

So my current backup strategy uses two western digital external hard drives. The first I have permanently connected to my iMac using Time Machine. On the second I use CCC to backup to every week and keep it in the trunk of my car as an offsite backup.
Just had a couple of questions to make sure I'm prepared for the worse...
- What temperatures can hard drives survive at? Is there a risk of it overheating in my car?
- I've read about some issues with CCC's backups. I'm currently backing up to an encrypted disk image - is there any way to verify the backup? If I just cloned the drive instead so it was bootable is there any way to encrypt it? And is Super Duper more reliable?

My laptop got stolen a few weeks ago, i've replaced it with a new MBP, and fortunatley I done a full backup at xmas time, so my computer is just like it was on the 23rd of December 2011. However, my iphone has a ton of new photos, music and playlists on it since that date.
Now I want to keep all these tracks, playlists and photos, but i don't no how to go about it.
If i plug it in to the MBP now, won't itunes back sync and delete all the new stuff?
How do i go about keeping the recent stuff on my iphone?

Purchased a new 2T Seagate Backup Slim Drive and decided to encrypt my data on my MBP for the first time.
First mistake - chose a very complicated new 13-character ( including multiple special characters ). Have tried to reconstruct the password with no luck!
Chose to go with "NTFS" driver that Seagate has licensed on a limited basis from Paragon software because I thought the flexibility of backing up both Mac and Windows files might be useful - new Seagate Slim Drive is about 25% full after 1 backup.Â
"Erase and reformat" project (unable to source to date very little info regarding Paragon NTFS file encrypted, file issues related to Apple devices.Â

I am trying to back my iPhone up on my mac, but the "backup now" button isn't highlighted. I cannot even select it or "restore backup". I have gone to my library and into the mobile sync/backup, but when I open the backup folder its empty. I have even gone to the preferences setting under itunes and selected devices and that is also empty. No backups are listed there.

My iphone is passcode protected, but If i lose my iphone, I don't want someone to be able to restore it. Is there a way that I can put a password on it through itunes, so that if I, or anyone tries to restore it, it will ask for a passcode first?

Basically somehow my iTunes got jacked up.. just the music part of it.. Anyway, they are all songs from my CDs or mp3's, but just as a failsafe, I would like to backup my entire iTunes library to my external hdd.
I would then like to delete all the songs from my iTunes, and from my iPhone. *edit* figure'd out how to remove all the songs from my iphone.. just unchecked all songs and sync'd.. now I just need to backup itunes and delete everything from it, then reput what I want back into itunes and resync.. sweet
After which, I would like to rebuild my iTunes library using my mp3's and CD's and basically start from scratch.. so that this time around I can properly name songs/albums/artwork/etc
Then I want to take this new iTunes library, and fill my iPhone back up with my new Library in Itunes..
so basically I just want to backup my itunes just incase for some reason I cannot find a particular CD or mp3 in my collection.
Just for the record, I am using a Mac Mini running Snow Leopard 10.6.2, and I have an iPhone 3GS 32GB running the latest 3.1.2 firmware (jailbroken using blackra1n rc3)

iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro with iTunes. Both are current with software updates as of 12/11/2014 When running sync or backup I get an error message that the iPhone has disconnected. Both are on the same network and are connected together with a USB cable. Last successful backup was prior to iTunes upgrade on 12/9. Today I successfully backed up my iPhone to a windows machine with the latest version of iTunes, no problems. Seems the Mac version is the issue not the iPhone. I was going to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it on the Mac but I could get it to uninstall. iPhone 6, iOS 8.1.2

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

I have a new MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.4 and already owned an iPhone 3G that was synced to my iBook G4. My iPhone connects and is recognized in iTunes, but I cannot backup or do anything with the Apps or Music. The photos transferred to iPhoto.

My girlfriend had her iPhone 5 sent in to repair the sleep/wake button and have the battery replaced, and before we left I made a full back up to her MacBook Pro. A few days later the MacBook won't boot up and only displays a blank grey screen. I took the MacBook into the Apple store since this is the only way to restore her photos and music and the Genius diagnosed it as a Logic Board failure and as it is out of warranty, would be quite expensive to fix. If I mounted the hard drive to an external enclosure, is it possible to pull the backup files and restore her phone with a laptop running windows?

Is there a way to specify where iTunes stores iPhone/iPad backups? I'm trying to exclude these from the home directory on my new SSD. It's 30+ GB of stuff I don't need to access on a regular basis, so it's better off kept on another disk.

This happened once before - but I open my computer then Itunes and voila - my entire library is missing! WTF! I go to the backup library and the latest backup is from 12/07 - so I am missing over a years worth of stuff. My iphone is stocked with almost all the playlists as I had them Is there anyway to fix this or has this happened before?

Since it's clear now that my Win 7 machine will never again run iTunes properly. I'm reduced to using my MBA for all my iTunes needs. My music collection is huge, of course (whose isn't?) but that's no problem because it exists on a networked drive and my MBA has no issues playing from it. However, both my iPhone and iPad are 64GB and I need to back them up.
I can't use the Cloud, of course, because it's not big enough (it's not just music or I'd subscribe to the music service on my iPad it's mostly other data which takes up 50GB or more). I can't back them up to my SSD because there's not enough room. So I really want them to backup to the same networked drive I'm using for my music. Except I don't see a way to do that in iTunes.

MacBook Air

Stumped on this one.
My son's iPhone will not log on to our wireless.
I have 2 Macs, an iPad and a PC that all access our home wireless without any problem.
His iPhone did access it also, now after entering the correct key it fails to log on.
Have tried resetting the iPhone twice, checked to make sure the pass key hasn't somehow changed, but nothing works.
The phone logs on to other wifi networks without a hitch.
