What is the extent of struggle?


  • Where is she facing the difficulty?
  • Is the backup encrypted and has she forgotten the encryption password? In that case there is nothing any one can do. She needs to keep trying to get the password on her own as there are no limits on number of attempts on encrypted backup password. Good luck!
  • Is he not able connect to her iPhone?
  • Is her Mac does not recognise her device.
