Cannot Restore New iPhone from iTunes!

[Christopher11]

I have a new iPhone SE, and need to install all previous settings / apps, etc. from my iPhone 5s. The phone tells me I can't do this from iCloud, as there is no backup. I have several in iTunes however, but keep getting the message that my password is incorrect, despite using the right password. Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Christopher,

When iTunes prompts you for your a password, is it the backup password protected for is iTunes asking for your Apple ID information?

Thank you for writing back. That's a good question. I assumed it was Apple id information. I don't recall iTunes prompting me for a password when I backed up my iphone multiple times... Could it be a password I have stored somewhere? Do these backups request their own password?

I never had to...

I've had good luck with buyers on eBay, but I've never heard of/used Swappa before, so I'm probably not the best to advise on that.

Good luck, and I hope you get a great price for it!
