How to recover my corrupted iPhone 4 backup?

I am trying to recover my corrupted iPhone 4 backup file after the iphone upgraded to OS5.0.  It stopped sync with my Outlook so I can't recover my contacts, calendars, and notes, etc. using my Outlook files.  Any one who can help?  I found the backup files and wonder is there a tool to analysis and repair the .plist files?

    how can I see my iphone backup to my hp computer - I want to actually see some of the files on the backup to be sure it actually worked

    You can't see them as such.  The entire backup is stored as a database, sql file.  You can find the backup file here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and clickOK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
    You will need an sql reader to view the contents,

  • I cannot find corrupt iPhone backup file on my computer to delete it.

    I have an iPhone 5s. It backed up to my computer (Mac) just fine until I got a new computer. I loaded all my backed up files onto the new computer (also a mac), from my airport extreme computer backup (also a mac product) and the next time I went to backup my iphone, it clearly says in the itunes window (where it would usually tell you your last backup date) that this phone had NEVER been backed up up on this computer. That would be fine with me and I would gladly create a new backup from what was on my phone currently except....When I click the backup button, it gives me the "could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone. Delete the back up for this iphone, then try again" error message. I have followed every instruction of how to go about deleting these backups. I deleted every iPhone related backup through iTunes. Then I tried to find the files on the computer's hard drive outside of iTunes, but I swear there is no MobileSync folder on my computer. At least it's not at the path that is always given in every suggested solution.
    I did create a separate user account (on the same computer) and was able to backup my phone through that. I don't know what that means, if anything, but I'd like my iphone to work with MY user account...
    I've had a really difficult time finding the answer to this question online, so any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    i have figured it out, what you have to do is to restore your phone back to factory settings:
    http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yBBiMy3Y6Q - youtube video to show you how incase you dont know
    and then set up your phone as a NEW IPHONE instead of using iCloud
    then plug it into iTunes - then i clicked on the iCloud thing to restore my new phone,   and it should work, mine does hope this helps

  • How to recover notes on iphone 3gs

    I was holding my iPhone 3GS version 4.2.1 in one hand, hence I was trying to use my thumb to tap the screen to navigate to the Note page of interest. In any case the result was a page of notes disappeared. This was most annoying. If it was an email I could go to Trash and find it. I suppose that would be too easy.
    So my question is how do I recover a notes on an iphone 3gs?
    thanks

  • I want to recover a previous iphone backup data

    I backed up my data from my iPhone on my Macbook Pro, and accidentaly synced it again, which over-wrote the previous back up. And now I need my original back up as it contains all my data. How can i recover data from my previous back-up? Please Help!

    Unless you use Time Machine or another backup plan, you can't. iTunes only keeps one normal iPhone backup, it's actually an incremental backup in that only data that has changed is actually backed up or overwritten.

  • Deleting Old Corrupt iPhone Backup Folder - Which One Do I Delete

    I am getting the message "iTunes can not backup the iPhone, because the backup was corrupt, or not compatible with the iPhone" whenever i try to backup my iPhone 5s. I have been getting this message since around the end of May 2014 after updating my iOS to 7.1.2.
    I have seen a couple of posts about how to go about deleting an old backup already. After some time, I figured out where to locate the iPhone backups in their original location, because they did not show up in my devices tab through iTunes. I have already located the files under:
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    So I did manage to get this far, but now I have come across a handful of folders that are full of files, all named with a bunch of alphanumeric characters. There are some backups of devices that I do not need to delete, that I don't have physical access to some of the devices at the moment to just delete all of the backup folders and re-backup afterwards.
    My main question is, "How can I tell which backup corresponds to the iPhone having trouble, so I do not delete another backup that I do not wish to lose?"
    If it helps, I am on a Macbook Pro, running OS X Mavericks, and iTunes 11.3.1 (2).
    Please help ASAP, and THANK YOU in advance!!

    First, if you don't have iExplorer yet, you should download it here. Then install it. After installing it open the iExplorer. It is not necessary to plug your device in. Then click the "Browse Local iTunes Backups".
    After clicking it, go to the "Browse iTunes Backup" directory. It will show you the list of backup folders on your computer with a readable folder name i.e. the names of each devices that has backup files on your computer. From there you can now identify which backup folder is yours.

  • HT1386 How do I move my iPhone backups etc from 1 Laptop to another?

    Hello,
    I have my iPhone backed up on a crappy old laptop and want to move everything to my new laptop.
    How can i do this without a) having to wipe and re-sync my phone and b) without losing all my backup data from the old laptop.
    Thanks
    KT

    To avoid data loss, copy your entire iTunes folder from your current computer to your new one following one of the methods in this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  Then authorize the new computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase media from iTunes or App store.  Then create a new iPhone backup on your new computer by:
    Before connecting your phone, open iTunes and disable automatic syncing (iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent...)
    Now connect your phone and right-click on its name when it appears on the left sidebar of iTunes and select Backup
    When this finishes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.  Also be sure to migrate your contacts and calendar to your new computer prior to syncing if you are syncing with Outlook or another supported program using iTunes.  If you fail to do this you will lose your contacts and calendar.
    FYI, your backups are located here:
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista/7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

  • How do i remove old iphone backups on my itunes to free up disk space on my hard drive?

    im running low on diskspace and dont have much on my pc other than my itunes. i think the problem is all the iphone backups i have.. i have more than one iphone and have had all the generations. so i think tat my backups are using a lot of diskspace and only want to keep the most recent.so how do i remove old back ups from my itunes?

    If photo stream isn't working, put them in a folder and sync them to you phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  Just be aware that if you want to delete them to your phone in the future you will need to sync them off your phone using iTunes as they can't be deleted directly on the phone.

  • How do I save my iPhone backup once my computer is wiped?

    I'm wanting to wipe my computer clean to start it all fresh due to not having enough disk space for anything.
    I'm scared if I do that, that i'll erase everything on my iPhone (contacts, photos etc) once I plug it back in after everything has been installed and everything is new.
    I have put most of my music and photos on a hard-drive so worst comes to worse I can put those back on manually. But i'm more worried about my apps and contacts.
    How can I save these once the computer is wiped and I start with a new iTunes?

    If you back up your iTunes library, everything including the iPhones backup will be saved"
    Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    A much easier solution is to backup to iCloud.
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes Apps can be re-downloaded from the App store. 
    Contacts will be backed up in iCloud but you can also sync contacts to an iCloud account without having to rely on restoring a backup

  • HT4946 how to find out my iphone backup password

    how do i find out my iphone backup password?

    If you created a backup in iTunes that includes a password, unless you created a separate password, and you would know this if you did, your backup password is generally your iTunes account password (your Apple ID password). Try that.
