*Really* cannot find iPad backup file

I have tried for weeks to find the iPad backup file. I run Itunes on Windows XP. I've checked the support page which says it should be in:
# Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You might not believe this: I don't even have the "Application Data"folder!
I know backup is taking place because I successfully restored my iPad a few days ago.
The only thing I should mention is that my media folder is J:\itunes_folder
and my iTune home is J:\itunes_home.
I've checked both of those directories and nothing looks like a backup file.
Does anyone have any clues on where the backups are or might be?
Thanks in advance,
Sandy.

Not sure if you've figured the answer already but will post anyway:
The "Application Data" folder in XP is hidden by default, all you need to do is enable the hidden files and folders: Go to My Computer - Tools - Folder Options - View - "Show hidden files and folders" from the list
After that you will be able to navigate to the desired folder and backup what you need to.
Good luck

  • Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

    Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

    If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
    Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
    Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

  • 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.

    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.

  • What causes JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /common/bc4j.xcfg

    I know that the jbo exception message:
    JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file /common/bc4j.xcfg
    can be caused by several things including the file really not being there. But in my current case, I know it is there and can be found throgh the classpath, because I actually find it using Configuration.buildConfigurationFileNameFromClassPath and
    Configuration.getConfiguration just before calling Configuration.createRootApplicationModule. Is there any way to turn on a diagnostic to find out what is really wrong?
    I would also like to request an enhancement to give meaningful messages in the jbo exception.
    Roger

    This is on jdev 903 with patch running a local application attempting to connect to standalone OC4J 903. I think the error occurs before there is ever any attempt to make the connection to OC4J. Having one big catch-all exception for everything that can go wrong in creating the AM is pretty poor. I know in the past I have done manual editing of bc4j.xcfg and XML sentax errors cause exactly the same exception as not having the file at all. That is why I would at least like a list of all the causes behind the exception so I can go through and check them all.
    Thanks,
    Roger

  • I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

    I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
    If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
    If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

  • Jdev 10.1.2  JBO-33001: Cannot find the configuration file bc4j.xcfg in cla

    Hi all,

    Please help us. Thanks
    Any ideas?
    Suggestion?

    This program is an example of basically what ADFBC will be trying to do to open/parse the bc4j.xcfg file. Can you incorporate the same lines into your test program to see if it also behaves the same in your JMS-initiated Java class ?
    Of course, you'll need to substitute "sample/common/bc4j.xcfg" with your relevant path name.
    package sample;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser;
    import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument;
    import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException;
    import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
    public class Class1 {
      public static void main(String[] args) throws XMLParseException,
                                                      SAXException, IOException {
        DOMParser d = new DOMParser();
       d.parse(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("sample/common/bc4j.xcfg"));
        XMLDocument doc = d.getDocument();
        doc.print(System.out);
    }

    Where is the code you posted? Running in a separate project, I assume? Does that project have a dependency on the project containing the app module specified?
    And just to check (although by default, JDev should do this for you)--the app module project has been compiled since adding the configuration, right? You need to check to make sure the config exists not only under Project/src, but under Project/classes.
    Edited by: Avrom Roy-Faderman on Oct 6, 2008 2:02 PM
    Oh, and BTW--I assume this is not a typical ADF application, right? In a standard ADF application, you would very rarely need to instantiate an application module in code like this; you could just let the data binding facility do it for you. The technique like the one you're using is most appropriate for purely programmatic, no-UI cases. (e.g., once I tried to implement an SMTP server backed by business components. That was an appropriate case for ditching databindings and doing the sort of thing you're doing, because it had no view layer (because it had no UI to render).

  • Cannot find some .TOC file in TDSHL homogeneous DB copy

    We are at the import stage of a homogeneous DB copy for an ABAP only BW
    system.
    This homogeneous copy is a part of a TDMS shell creation.
    In import_monitor.log we see errors as follows:

    In the exported dump directory, we truly cannot find above TOC files.
    We did not have any ERROR during the export phase.
    According to my experience, this might be caused by the fact that this ABAP BW system has a JAVA add-on
    on a different server with a dfferent SID than the ABAP SID -- but the JAVA DB is in the same database as the ABAP but with a different schema. Therefore when we do export source system->central system->ABAP based, those TOC files could not be created. However I do not have the document created in my previous project, I cannot verify my impression.
    Are SAPDDIM and SAPDFACT standard SAP objects?
    Please help  input your opinions.
    Thanks!

  • Building PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL (Cannot find MySQL header files under /usr.)

    Hi,
    we are in big trouble here. On Mac OS X 10.4 it was no problem building PHP with additional modules. Unfortunately it´s not working this time.
    This is the error message i got when building php:
    checking for mSQL support... no
    checking for MSSQL support via FreeTDS... no
    checking for MySQL support... yes
    checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... /var/mysql/mysql.sock
    checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... /var/mysql/mysql.sock
    configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under /usr.
    Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!
    Looks like some libs are missing?!
    find / -iname 'libmysqlclient*'
    That doesn´t helper neither. No results.
    Any idera what´s wrong here?

    the php in 10.5 uses extensions, you do not need to rebuild php to get mssql to work..
    Take a look at http://downloads.topicdesk.com/docs/AddingGD2_to_PHP_on_OS_X_Server_10_5Leopard.pdf
    as you can see in that example GD is built separately, mssql is the same.. do a google search on mssql.so and you will find a bunch of info (most of it is for linux but you should be able to get the info to work)

So, I'm about to loose all of my iTunes library, work documents (I'm a lawyer!!), my kid's photos.... How can I restore my files?? Help!!

    Since you seem to be using a new disk for Lion, Time Machine will consider previous backups to be for a "different" computer.  Try doing a control-click or click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then choose "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".  This should allow Time Machine to see the previous backups.
    In the worst case you should be able to open those Time Machine backups and copy your documents from there to your home folder.
