How do I backup up my i-phone data?

Hey,
Where do I find my i-phone data on my computer to back it up on a storage drive?
I am using a 12" G4 Powerbook laptop with the old silver keys that don't light up running OS 10.4.1.
Thanks!

Yes, contacts and calendars are not in the backup file; they are in whatever application data files you sync with (Outlook, Entourage, iCal and Mac address book).
Also, music, videos, etc. (iPod files) are in the iTunes library.
I've been looking for the location of the photos and other data and haven't found it yet. Logically it should be in the iTunes folder, but I haven't found it there and I'd really like to know for sure.

  • How can i backup my ipod touch's data to another drive safely?

    Ok here is my current situation. I have on my C: drive about 20% of space remaining, it was almost 10% yesterday.. The biggest item I know of its the back-up data for my Ipod touch 32 gig 4th gen. Now i know there is a method of sort of linking so it sees another drive as C: but I have not tried that at all.
    I have a nice External HD as well as another internal drive i can copy the data to but that is where i need some more info.
    first of all is it possible to copy the data files from C: to another drive, then delete the data on C: till it is needed for itunes?
    Second, if so what files are the ones needed and what steps should i do?
    As an alternate question by the way, is it still not possible to choose where to save the backup data in itunes?

  • How do I backup and store all my data on my laptop?

    I'm having trouble backing up all my data and information from my iPhone to my laptop. Do I use iTunes to do this?

    creating a backup in itunes will backup everything except for apps and music, so make sure that you also regularly choose the option 'transfer purchases' in itunes. Do this by right-clicking the name of your device on the left side of itunes when you have it plugged in

    How do I backup my iPhone's App Data to iTunes without having it transfer all my apps to iTunes?

    Hello bjsterilite,
    I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to backup your iPhone. You can choose to exclude certain data, and not sync apps to iTunes. Here is an article which explains the process in greater detail:

  • Backup and Restore of Redis Data

    My usage of Azure Redis is a cache to store snapshots of data for an event sourced system. We have millions of events stored in persistent storage that are aggregated and saved to redis. This provides us with fast access to the current state of an entity.
    However, to rebuild the Redis cache from scratch would take many hours as the number of events in the system is huge and constantly growing. 
    How in Azure Redis can we backup and restore data in case of failure? For instance, it would be nice to have access to an rdb file and archive it then restore when needed. We tried setting a non-Azure Redis as a slave of our Azure Redis however this does
    not work as it seems the Azure Redis doesn't have write access to it's working directory preventing it from writing an rdb file for sync.
    What are the recommended approaches to using Azure Redis as persistent storage? How can we backup/restore or even move data from one redis to another.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response Mike. The interesting thing is on Saturday this didnt work. Today it looks like it is sync'ing succesfully. Below is the steps and output i saw on Saturday. I started it again today and it looks good so far. I will let it finish the
    sync and see what happens now. The redis is about 19gb on a Standard Pricing Tier.
    On the non-Azure Redis
    1. SET CONFIG masterauth <mykey>
    2. SLAVEOF myredis.redis.cache.windows.net 6379
    Then on my non-Azure Redis I see the following output. This ouput repeats until i kill the non-azure redis or set SLAVEOF NO ONE.

  • I ran my iphone over but need to access my contacts/info/pics. I have a up to date backup of my whole phone in iTunes but need to know how to extract the data and load it to my new desktop since it will be a bit before I can afford a new phone.

    I accidentally ran my iPhone over and can't afford another one for a few weeks. Until then I need to find a way to extract the data from my last backup in itunes. I can either put it on my computer or I've set up a cloud account that I was hoping could open it. So far I haven't had any luck with either. if anyone can help me out. I would love to get my pictures/videos, messages and contacts off there. The rest I don't care so much about. If someone could let me know if this is possible I would apprciate it!

    Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

    In my icloud account on my iphone I have three ios devices. How do I manage the backup of my old phone ? I dont want to detete that backup completetly, just manage that phone back up ? Please help!

    It will be backed up on your computer and can later be restored to an iOS device using iTunes, if desired.  Of course, if your hard drive crashes you'll lose it if it isn't backed up somewhere else.  If you want to included it in your computer backup, it will be located at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • I have an iPhone 4 now and I just got the iPhone 4s so how do I backup all my data from old phone to new?

    I have  the iPhone 4 and just upgraded to iPhone 4s how do I backup my data before I activate my iphone 4s? Please help!!

    iOS devices are designed to be sync'd with a single computer, so thinking of future updates, backups and so forth, yes, it would be best to do it on your computer - the one you normally use for iTunes.
    Note that backing up also does not backup everything in iTunes.  Contacts, for example, will be backed up into whatever contact management program you normally use on your computer (eg. outlook on a Windows PC, contacts on a Mac).
    If you have never backed up your iPhone, now is the opportune time to do so and learn how.  Not having a backup means if anything goes wrong with your phone (or you loose it or it is stolen), you risk losing everything on it.

  • How do i backup the rest of my contacts on my phone to icloud?

    i had bought an i phone and trasnfered my contacts into the phone later on i signed up for icloud and it was actiavated in my phone since then all thenew contacts which i add in my directory they automatically store in icloud backup but the contacts which were already there before in my phone do not have a backup in iclound
    so basically when my phone is lost or broken i can restore my new contacts from icloud but the remaning contacts need to be backup from my computer where i had previously saved.
    i want to know how can i backup ALL MY CONTACTS NEW AND OLD in icloud so its much more conveninet and saves the hassle

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    I think you are confusing backup with syncing. With backup, all contacts that are on your phone will be part of the backup file. With syncing only the contacts in your iCloud account are synced with iCloud.
    Check the accounts that you have in the contact app, you may well have some contacts in your iCloud account and others in your "on my phone" account, the contacts in the latter account will not sync.

  • I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water. It still does everything but get service, can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one...

    I have an iPhone 3GS that I dropped in water for a moment. After drying it and everything, it still does everything but get service. Can I back it up and transfer its data to a new iPhone 3GS? I heard something about how loading a backup from a water damaged phone could mess up the new one... is this true? I would truly appreciate the help, please let me know, thanks!

    Sounds like your phone is in recovery mode.  In this case, all data on it is gone.  There's nothing to back up.
