IPassword App not working on IOS 14.5.1 - need help to restore passwords from iphone backup
I have seen the other questions and read most of the answers as I have also been a victim of this! Unfortunately for me I didn’t take any backups via the iPassword App so can’t follow a lot of the solutions that have been suggested in previous posts. Stupidly I thought the backup I do of the iPhone XS via Finder would be sufficient for my needs ( I thought it restored the IOS - definitely a lesson learnt)!
what I do have is a number of Time machine backups of my Mac Book Pro which I use to backup up my iPhone. I have found the backup file on Time Machine that I could use and I could restore this back onto my laptop but I have just realised that even if I did this the restore won’t restore the iOS back to what it was.
Does anyone know of a way I can get my passwords back using a full iPhone backup held on time machine? Many Thanks.
messages to Apple,
- please can you help to persuade the developer to upgrade the version of Password manager so we can at least get our passwords off it?
- I do question why there were no warnings about the App not working after the upgrade!!
- Normally I backup my iPhone before upgrading but this time I couldn’t connect it to my MacBook Pro until I had upgraded which meant I couldn’t take a pre backup and I took a backup before realising iPassword didn’t work. Why was this the case?
- why is there no facility to restore back to an old IOS version? Based on the fact there isn’t then Apple need to make available comprehensive release notes which include a list of all the Apps that won’t work on the new version.
