ITunes backup - complete folders used list

I've been using iTunes since 2010, now 11.0.1.12, starting with an iPod nano (5th gen). My family has progressed into two iPhones, a mini iPad, and an iPod touch. What I'd like to do is to completely backup all device backups as done by iTunes. I've poked around in Windows Explorer's folder structure and find bits and pieces here and there.
I read this post "Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy" and became hopeful there was a method to use for my question.
I use sync toy regularly for data backups. I use the standard recommendation of segregating data, applications, and operating sytem (XP/SP3) acrossed multiple devices, NTFS drives. With the addition of the mini iPad and iPod touch this Christmas I have found myself having a way too small system drive. A new hard drive is coming.
This leads me to having two questions:
(1) Is there a list of folders used by iTunes to create a complete backup of devices used with iTunes?
(2) What I'd prefer is to have iTunes segregate all data in one path structure... is this possible or coming soon?
Thanks for your great efforts here on the forum.

I don't have Outlook. I asked the O2 shop if I could sync the iphone3 to my PC without buying anymore software and they said I could. My life would've been simpler with Outlook, but it was so expensive to buy office with outlook I just used windows mail and accepted that I couldn't sync my calendar with my PC. I used to backup the iphone 3 but never had to restore it.
When I got my iphone 4 I did everything the same - I plugged it into my PC and followed the steps in itunes to set it up (this was some time ago so I can't remember what it asked for). When I plugged my iphone in, it said it was backing up and/or syncing the iphone. I assumed everything was fine.
I am getting my iphone 4 back tomorrow and I'm hoping that I can plug in and it will be fine. I've managed to get some contact numbers onto my old iphone 3 by right-clicking and selecting to restore from backup, although they are my husband's contacts because he was using it last.
This has given me a glimmer of hope, but when I look at the information in Windows Contacts it is not what I had on my iphone. When I get my iphone 4 back I will need to do some serious housekeeping I think - especially now I have an ipad as well.

Absolutely complete Where-Used-List

Hello together,
I want/need to code an report to find definitely all dispositions of a domain.
Well you will say - Push the Button "Where-Used-List" - but the result is not that what I need.
What I want to get as result is an absolutely complete list with all objects which have the same root.
Example:
Domain SAKNR is used in over 600 data elements. Each of the data elements is used in tables, in dynpros, in coding.
These objects I also want to get.
At the moment I have to continue pushing the button Where-Used-list. First time for domain, second time for data element and so on.
My question:
Does anbody coded something like this or do you know a function module to use for it?
Thanks in advance.
Heiko

It is possible but the runtime would be too large.

Bizzare situation withn the "Where used list" for a table

Hello all,
I use the "where used list" (all check boxes selected) function in SE11 to find out where and how the table FMGLFLEXT (same for table FMGLFLEXA) is being used and updated. All I get is a reference to a function module, namely G_POSTING_FMGLFLEXT. When I do a "where used list" (once again, all check boxes selected) for the FM, I get the message: Function Module G_POSTING_FMGLFLEXT not found in selected search area Message no. ES120 despite the fact that all check boxes are selected.
Yet this table contains data which were put in there via transaction FB50 (G/L Acct Pstg: Single Screen Trans.). So somehow, somewhere this data was created and put into the table.
I dont get it! What am I missing?
Thank you for your help

Old thread, but anyway: There is one more thing to do to get the complete where-used list:
(1) Select all checkboxes in the "Used in" block (as you did, probably by using the button "Select All (F7)")
(2) and use the button "Search Range" (quickinfo "Limit Search Range (F5)") -- although the following pop-up is called "Restrict hit lit" you will find there a checkbox "Search also in generated objects". In my case that's how I found a generated function module G_POSTING_Z.... in SAP's namespace but with customer db table name Z....

How to import a folder to iTunes backup using iBackupBot?

Hi,
How do I import a complete folder using iBackupBot?
I have the folders Documents and Library of an app, from a backup I made using another solution. So I’d like to import to the app folder in iTunes backup, the whole content of these two folders. This way I'll be able to restore using iTunes.
The thing is, I can’t create any directories/subdirectories and can only import files. I’m using the latest version downloaded from the site: http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
Thanks!

import file is there
Where?
Only Import CD shows up only when you have an audioCD inserted and selcted in iTunes.
I see File > Add to library...
Select a folder, then click Open.

Is there a way to find iphone backups in itunes that aren't already listed

i back up my phone every 2 weeks. it crashed last night and when i went to restore from a backup, it only lists backups from 4/11. is there a way to find the newer backups somewhere on my mac?

Usually iTunes replaces the old backup with the content of the new one. Only if you use a backup to restore from, iTunes will not replace it, but add a time stamp to it.
If you use TimeMachine on your Mac, you can restore the iTunes backup folder, to get your desired backup point back, but all setting and other data will be reset to that point in time as well.

Backup To Disc using iTunes not working

When I Backup to Disc (DVD) using the Backup in iTunes I have 150 purchased songs and 2 audio books. Only twenty two items are going to the disc. A few folders for example: Fleetwood Mac has 4 songs in it but the total sum comes no where to the total of 150 songs nor are either of the audio books saved to disc.
Thanks in Advance for any help
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I was prompted to do an iTunes backup last night after buying an album. I got a message saying the backup failed, so I replaced the DVD and choose retry.
This seemed to be successful and I was asked to insert disk after disk after disk (I have over 20 GB of media in iTunes!). But I then noticed it seemed to be burning the same last few files over and over. So I eventually cancelled the backup (after disk 11!)
So although the backup seemed to work (the disks were correctly formatted), it's a bit buggy, and not sure I'll use this method for backing up until the bugs are fixed.
Not sure this helps you, but at leastyou know you're not the only one with problems.

HT3406 If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old phone. Will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to the computer? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some

If I choose "restore from iTunes backup" to move everything from old iphone to a new one, will I still be able to use the old phone for music and apps? Can the old phone be docked up to that same computer every now and then? Or will the new and old phone overwrite each other in some way? In other words, are the two phones treated as different devices when the "restore" option is used to set up the new phone? Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can use the old iPhone as an iPod touch.

You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
If the issue persists...
Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

HT1766 If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure. I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

Use iPod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 - issues

Hi all,
I've just used my Pod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 but none of the apps were installed on the iPad mini. Only the default apps are installed.
None of the photos from the camera roll were installed either, apart from a few 'screen shots' I have taken.
iPod Touch is iOS 6.1.6 and the iPad mini is 8.1
There was a warning advising that some of the apps in the iPod backup might not be compatible with the iPad.
If it makes a difference, I'm using one Apple ID for the App store and another one for iCloud. When I was prompted for the Apple ID during setup on the Mini, I entered the iCloud ID.
Interestingly, when I went into the App store on the Mini it showed the ID I use for that rather than the iCloud one, which seemed good.
Is this what I should expect to happen in this situation or am I doing something wrong ?
Many thanks. Mark

I've managed to get the apps loaded without having to do it manualy !! :-)
It was a case of RTFM - I forgot to do a 'Sync' after restoring the 4G's iTunes backup into the iPad.
Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
For some unknown reason, the Camera Roll images and Videos still weren't restored to the new device.
This is not too much of an issue because I've exported them out of the 4G using the awesome 'Photo Sync' app. Despite it's name it actually does an 'export'and not a sync, which I think makes image management easier on the PC side

I am trying to confirm the time at which a particular backup occurred using an external hard drive that I have since misplaced. Although time machine lists the backup times for some backups, it does not list them for all. Can someone help?

I am trying to confirm the time at which a particular backup occurred using an external hard drive that I have since misplaced. Although time machine lists the backup times for some backups, it does not list them for all, including the one in question. Can someone help?

Okay, I've sussed it. I saw a link to another discussion that hadn't turned up in any of my searches before I posted the question above.
My Tosh HDD was formatted to FAT 32 and therefore would not be backed up by Time Machine. I removed all data from it - nightmare as I hadn't enough space to put it on the macbook HDD, but, after trawling through numerous photos and deleting rubbish for hours, I finally made enough space and copied all data across. Then, after clearing the data from the Tosh HDD, I used disk utilitity to reformat it to Mackintosh OS Extended. Chose the option without kournalling because I'm not baking up onto this disk and so don't need it - according to some other discussions I found.
When it was done I check on time machine in system prefs and once I selected options, I was able to remove it from the excluded from backups list. Hey presto. Now I'm moving my photo library and my music library onto the Tosh HDD and my macbook should start to breath again. Hurray.

My computer crashed and I have to buy a new one. What happens to my Contacts, Photos, etc when i use the new computer? I do not have an iTunes backup.

Do you have the iCloud set up? If you don't you need to buy a third party software that will do it for you when you plug your phone into the new computer. You can google: iPad/iPhone/iPod to Computer Transfer. You have to pay for the software but it's really a life saver and you get free updates for life. It'll save you a lot of pain and suffering in the future. I've used it many times.

When you are in Album view in the Photos app - tap the edit button in the upper right corner - tap the X in the corner of the album to delete it.

Why won't itunes show timestamps of the last year of back ups? Where do I find my backups that aren't listed?

A couple of days ago my phone died. I put it into recovery and when I tried to restore my data it told me that I had the wrong password. I tried every password that I could think of and then decided to set the phone up as a new phone, thinking that I'd be able to access my old data that way. WRONG!
I discovered that all my backups from 2014 and 2013 were no longer listed and only my backups from 2012 were listed.
When I've looked in that mobile app info on my pc no dates from 2013 and 2014 are listed. How do I find my backups that are no longer listed?
all my accounting apps have been wiped clean and I'm freaking out since I run my own accounting for my small business through it. I thought that I was safe because I've been backing up to my computer but now that info is no longer listed on itunes.
any advice on how to recover info?
I went to my recycling bin and found some of my apps in there and found the apps that were deleted on the day i backed up my files. Any advice on how to get that info back into my phone?

Additional info:
Tracks seem to be being corrupted on my G5, generally. If I play them in Quicktime they do the same thing; if I transfer them to the iPod they do the same thing.
Yet they're all fine on the laptop.
Maybe a hard drive problem?
