SplashID iOS app - Export in Airplane mode and recover via iTunes
If you cannot access your SplashID records and can only sign in to the SplashID Safe iOS/iPadOS app while in Airplane mode, this may be due to a failed password change or an undetected issue. You can still recover your data by exporting it to a vID file and restoring it through iTunes (or Finder on newer macOS versions).
Step 1: Export Records to a vID File
-
Open the SplashID app and go to Settings > Export SplashID vID to iTunes.
When prompted, set a password for the vID file and tap OK.
Step 2: Retrieve the vID File Using iTunes or Finder
-
Connect your iOS/iPadOS device to your PC or Mac with a USB/Lightning cable.
-
Launch iTunes on Windows/macOS, or use Finder on newer versions of macOS where iTunes is no longer available.
-
Select your device in iTunes/Finder and go to the File Sharing option.
-
Locate the SplashID app and access the exported vID file(s).
Select a file and click Save at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Create a New SplashID Account
-
Register a new SplashID account with a different email address.
-
Contact SplashID tech support to request a temporary 30-day Pro license for your new account.
-
Import the exported vID file into your new account.
-
If your records import correctly, support can help delete your old account and allow you to set up a new one using your preferred email address.
Note: The Export to vID via iTunes works in both Airplane mode and normal mode on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.
