Encrypt iPhone Backup with 3.0 in iTunes 8.1

iphone_30_itunes_encrypt_backup-400x270

Now, when choosing the synchronization settings of your iPhone (with 3.0 software), in the tab Summary, an option appears called Encrypt iPhone backup (Encrypt my iPhone backup) and when marking it, a small window will appear to establish the password that we want.

Thus we will protect the data on our iPhone. For example, if someone restores their iPhone to your computer and restores your backup to their iPhone, they will have access to your eMail, your calendars, your notes ...

Little by little we are getting to know the many improvements that Apple said it had introduced in the new firmware but had not named due to lack of time at the event on Tuesday 17 as it would have been too long if they only had to name all the improvements.

        Raúl our case - at least most of us - we have the backup BUT IT ASKS US FOR A PASSWORD and we have lost it or when the iPhone is updated, a password is set, if you have had the same problem, please if you can explain us more in detail how you did to recover your copy.
        regards

    I have a problem with my iPhone 3G before restoring it, I made a backup copy, and after the recovery process is finished it is asking me for a backup key, the truth is, and I tried all the ones I thought they were, but nothing ... I have all my contacts, email and other settings, in fact it is very worrying ... for this reason I go to you, to find out what procedure can be followed in this case to restore this copy, without affecting the settings you had.
    thank you very much.

    Friends, sorry for my ignorance, I have an iPhone 3G of 16 bought in Argentina with a mobile company and its respective unlimited Internet subscription, ask: I travel to the USA in a month and I would like to buy there an iPhone 3GS of 32, they think it is possible that If I used to change the chip to the new one, will it work with my line from Argentina?
    From already thank you very much

    When I buy the ipod I have always managed it manually, but now I have my own pc and I want to have the music and the applications in the library (so as not to risk updating the ipod). Does anyone know how I can transfer everything from the ipod to the library? If the library is empty and I remove the option to manage manually, does it erase everything I have on the ipod?
