you will now be prompted to enter your password (the one your user has on your Mac) to show the iPhone backup password click Allow (once).double click on the "iPhone Backup" entry and in the new window that will open, click on the "show password" checkbox.If there is no such item, you´re mostly out of luck in the upper right search field enter "iphone" and then look for a keychain item named "iPhone Backup" of kind "application password".make sure that on the left side "All items" is selected under categories.from /Application/Utilities open the Keychain Access utility.Sniff.The password used to encrypt the backup file might have been saved to the user's keychain. Really feel for the plight of your $2T company. We should be happy to be allowed to contribute to your revenue stream. And of course on top of paying you thousands of $ for hardware, it’s obvious those people should also be paying you endless subscription fees for “services” just so they get to use your fancy cloud (even though, frankly, it’s an unreliable pile of doo-doo) in spite of their own systems just sitting there and working fine. Because that’s so much better than systems people control themselves.

Modern humans use the cloud for everything. Your only recourse is to get out of bed, walk through half the house to find your Mac, open a Finder window, and initiate another backup attempt from there by hand.

If you by accident swipe up on the passcode page (yep, you don’t get to use FaceID for this) that appears to dismiss the page and thus cancel the backup.Īnd since in iOS 13 (not 100% sure about that version number) Apple stupidly removed sync controls from the iPhone General settings, there is no way to tell the iPhone to try again. Thanks in advance for any suggestions – or for anyone with a similar configuration who isn’t (or is) having this problem.
