Finding the backup of a specific application

Hello, I recently had a problem with an application that crashed randomly then wouldn't load back up again without crashing again. Restoring a backup fixed this problem and reverted my application back a few days (when I made the backup). But if this happens again, I would like to attempt to pull the data from this specific application alone and send it to the developers to possibly assist them in finding and fixing the problem. I've located the backups but none of the names correspond to any IDs or tokens that have to do with the application at all. I've even tried reading the plist files but they contained nothing that I could decipher. Is there any way or suggestion on what I could do to figure out which files belong to that application?

There is an app that comes with Toast 9 called, 'Get Back Up'. It is a good back up app that allows to back up specific folders. There are countless more back up apps, but I don't know of any that will operate like Time Machine backing up specific folders. You would have to do it manually. However, from your post I'm concluding your back up drive is only for Time Machine and not partitioned. This will create issues for you if you intend to use that drive for general data back up. You really only need around 250GB (or three times your internal hard drive) for Time Machine. If you want to back up your images and files separately on the same drive you will have to erase and partition the external drive to accommodate them. Also, I never rely solely on hard drives for image back up. They are way too precious. I always burn them to DVD or CD to be sure. You never know when a hard drive will fail, but DVDs and CDs have a shelf life of up to ten years if stored correctly, which is, stored vertically in hard case and in a dark, dry, cool place. - I've always wondered why Apple supplies their system restore discs in those stupid paper folders. They are disc killers!

Below is what comes up when I sign into iCloud - where are all the other applications that I need to backup?
Appreciate any answers to this query?

Your question is unclear. If you're backing up to your iMac, (via iTunes, with cable or WiFi), this has nothing to do with iCloud and the backup is stored on your iMac here:
: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

If you are asking about where iTunes stores backup files, see this knowledge base article for the info.
If a general statement of backups, then then you have to look at each application to see where it saves according to its preferences window.

the backup file is named .semc-fullbackup

As far as I know, there was no backup application in the early release of Android 2.3 for Xperia U. I'm moving this thread to Android development. Hopefully got get some good advice there.

I backed up before restoring my iPod and I cannot find the backup

I recently had issues with a forgotten passcode so I restored my iPod, but I also backed it up beforehand, and now I cannot find the backup, it had really important notes and the only notes that were deleted were the important ones. Can someone please help me?? I've tried WonderShare Dr Fone for iOS and other programs and none of them show the backup.

If you backed up to iTunes then what is listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices?
Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.

Where do I find the backup files when the iPhone is backed up?

Where do I find the backup files when the iPhone is backed up?
Thanks in advance.

On the Mac they're at ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. But, there aren't files there you can directly use - the backup is actually a SQLite database.
iPhone Backup Extractor (Google it) is a free Mac utility that can access some parts of the backup.

Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
I found the answer to my question.
When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

How can I find the index from a specific container?

How can I find the index from a specific container?
For example, if I'm traversing through textframes like so (an example, not tested):
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var story = doc.pages[0].textFrames[0].parentStory;
for (var i=0, l=story.textContainers.length; i<l; i++) {
     var textFrame = story.textContainers[i];
     if (textFrame.constructor.name == "TextFrame") {
          var lastPara = textFrame.paragraphs.lastItem();        //How can I find the index of this in relation to the story?
How can I find the index of "lastPara" in relation to the story rather than the current container?
I tried:
var newPara = story.paragraphs[lastPara.index];
but this results in an invalid object. . .
alert(newPara.isValid);      //returns false

The .index property is the character offset. So lastPara will begin at story.characters[lastPara.index].

My back up from last Thursday on my iphone 4s is not showing up in my itunes. I deleted something today & I would like to restore to last week when it was on my phone. How do I find the backup on my pc, how do I move it to itunes to restore phone back to

My back up from last Thursday on my iphone 4s is now showing up in my itunes. I deleted something today and I need it back desperately. I need to restore my phone back to last Thursday when the information was on my phone. How do I find the backup on my pc and once I find it how do I move it to itunes for me to restore my phone to that day?

I wished I had known this before I said yes to using icloud. I guess those things will be lost and gone forever, since I do not want to lose my present settings and data. Also do not want to go through the hassle of backing up present, then resetting phone, then restoring oldest back up, then backing up oldest backup to pc, so I can safely backup selected items to my pc; then reset my phone again to restore latest back up. It would take way too much time and no guarantee.
I backed up my phone to my pc, but have not checked it yet, so don't know if it worked.
If I decide to quit using icloud (which will probably happen since backing up to external hard drive allows me to open backups) what will happen to my present data and settings? Will they just remain as they were without icloud, as they were before icloud? I'm scared to just delete it; not knowing what will happen. Also why is icloud now my outgoing mail server, when my web email was before I installed icloud and how do I restore my web email as my outgoing mail server. I am using yahoo/at&t for all my mail.
What will happen to my contacts, notes, messages, voice memos, calendar info, alerts, etc., on my phone if I delete icloud?

Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size. As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

First you'll need to make sure your XP is set up to view hidden files and folders.
1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Now you should be able to track down your backup file at the location in the following document:

Hi Frank!
you should catch your save-event and after saving put the following line:
oMatrix.Columns.Item(4).Cells.Item(lstRowIndex + 1).Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
that's it!
