When I wire connect my ipad to mac where the backup goes

When I wire-connect my ipad to my mac, iTunes opens up and it says along with other information that mac will back up my laptop. I wish to know where the Back up goes, I mean where my ipad informations are stored as back-up ?
Further, now I am going to wire-connect my iPhone to mac and I wish to transfer my iPhone photos to mac, since my iphone capacity is less. Please tell me how to transfer photos / albums from iPhone to mac when I am wire-connecting to mac.
Thanks in advance

On a Mac, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946, the backup is stored under :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Though you probably won't be able to make much, if any, sense of the files within that backup unless you restore it onto a device.
In terms photos, you should be able to copy those that you've taken with the phone to your Mac via Image Capture, Aperture and iPhoto.

  • I set up my iPad mini without a computer and now, when trying to connect it to my mac it asks if I want to set up as new iPad

    I set up my iPad mini without a computer and have been using it for months.  Now, when trying to connect it to my mac it asks if I want to set up as new iPad or restore from back up (Which I don't have). 
    Is there a way I can connect to my computer and itunes without losing everything I've done on it for the past months?

    Go ahead and set it up as new. It's just new as far as iTunes is concerned. Shouldn't result in the loss of anything.

    Hi Boscoboi,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    You may need to check the settings for your iTunes Store on the iPad and iPhone.
    Sign out of the iTunes account, restart the device and sign back in.

  • When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device".

    When I connect my ipad or ipod to the computer, itunes does not show them as a "device", however my computer can see they are connected. so it seems to be a problem with itunes. i have tried re-installing itunes and it still doesnt work.
    My Iphone does show as a device when connecteing wirelessly.
    Its not a problem with the driver becasue the computer can see the devices, so its a problem in itunes.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:

    I still don't know what happened to my test Aperture Library after the update to 3.4...Not only were my previews lost, but so were the original images!  Needless to say, I haven't bothered to update the main library on the Mac Pro because I don't want to deal with this level of uncertainty (even with backups in place).

    Did you backup the iPad first? If you did - restore from the backup in order to restore the photos in the Saved Album on your iPad. If the photos were synced to the iPad, then sync them back again via iTunes.

    If you did backup first, you will be restoring your most recent backup and you should be OK. But know that when you restore from a backup, you restore everything that is in that backup onto the iPad .... All documents, device settings, all data and so on. You cannot just select photos to restore to the iPad. It's all or nothing.

  • I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok! What to do??

    I upgraded the Pages version on my iPad and iPhone some weeks ago. The App has not synced previous data on both AND it's unstable on both. Luckily I didn't upgrade on my Mac where the old version is working ok!

    You need the new versions of both to sync data between them. If you don't have the new versions on your Mac, they will not sync.
    BTW, the new versions do NOT overwrite the old on Mac. When you install them, the old versions are retained.

    Hello Tamthom,
    It sounds like you would like to sync your phone to your new computer. I would start by using the following article to transer your iTunes and App Store purchases to your computer from your phone.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    Note: If you had content that was not purchased from the iTunes Store you will need to re import the content from its original media, to your iTunes library separately.
    Then backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    After your puchases are transferred, and your device is backed up you can Erase and Sync the device, and restore your backup to it, that way moving forward you can sync it like you used to.

  • When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook.  Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

    When I forward an email from my Mac Mail, the body of the email I just forwarded shows as an attachment in the recipients outlook.  Is there a way to change this so my clients don't have to open an attachment to read something that I forwarded to them?

    Open Terminal in Utilties and copy/paste
    This will send the attachment embedded inline. (This works in Snow Leopard, but not sure about Lion. Do a test first. If it doesn't work, just google "send attachment embedded + Lion." You don't actually have to send the message to see how it will appear.)
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing 0
    To reverse the setting, change the 0 to a 1
    However, whether this will work or not will depend on what the e-mail client on the receiver's end does with it.

    Hello atef from egypt,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help resolve this issue where your computer cannot connect to your AirPlay-enabled device, please follow the information outlined below.
    Wi-Fi Connection
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
    Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Ethernet Connection
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
