If the iPhone's backup is in the same location as Vista with Windows 7, this link provides where the iPhone backup is located with XP and Vista.

  • Where is the iPhone backup file stored which is produced during synching?

    Background: I had a HD crash and replacement: this created problems with the iPhone apps in iTunes (i.e. they "disappeared" from the Applications tab in iTunes.
    Question: why can't I restore the iPhone to the last backup that is automatically made when you sync? Does anyone know where that backup file is located and how to invoke it?
    Thanks and cheers,
    Veit

    Allan, I am puzzled and hope that you can help and clarify:
    I did try the "Restore the iPhone to its Factory Settings" approach and did transfer the iTunes folder (from before the crash) through Time Machine to the new HD. When I connect the iPhone to the computer and start iTunes there, I am informed that an iphone has previously synced with this computer and am asked whether I want to set up a new iPhone or "Restore from the backup of iPhone". BUT, the Last Synched info states that the last sync was TODAY, and NOT as of before the crash (when the Apps and their Settings were OK, i.e. to what I would like to restore). Frustration galore.
    This begs the question: 1.) where on the computer is the last backup stored, and can that be replaced by using an earlier version found on the Time Machine? But then I think I understand you saying that the backup process of the iPhone does NOT contain the Settings and Data related with each third party application, only the app itself; or did I misunderstand you.
    Hence question 2.) Where are the data and settings of the apps stored: in the Backup that's created when syncing (and apparently only a single, i.e. the last backup is kept, and that in my case is useless), or in the Mobile Applications folder under iTunes, which can be restored.
    And finally 3.) you state: cancel the backup when you connect the iphone to the computer running iTunes. When I click on the x next to where it says that the iPhone is being backed up, it cancels the whole sync process, not only the backup process.
    Sorry to bother you so much, but I'd really hate to loose all the data and settings of the ninety or so Apps which I am using. Again, many thanks in advance for any clarifications.
    Cheers,
    Veit
    I am using vers. 3.0.1 on the iPhone and iTunes 8.2.1 on a PowerBook G4 (i.e. NOT Intel based)

  • Where is the iPhone backup file saved at?

    I wanted to archive it. I tried looking everywhere. I am using Windows Vista by the way (not sure if the location changes on PC and Mac).

    C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\AppleComputer\MobileSync\Backup
    You may need to enable viewing of hidden files.

  • Where are the iPhone backup files stored on a PC?

    I recently downloaded the new iOS software to my phone....when I went to restore from my last backup -- my computer shut down half way through and everytime I've tried since, it won't work.  I think my home computer has a virus that is causing this so I was hoping I could copy the backup file and load it into my iTunes on my work computer and restore my phone at work?  Any idea how to do that or if it will work?  I had over 1,000 pictures and videos that I really don't want to lose....(yes yes I know I learned my lesson to download them....but they are of my kids and I really don't want to lose them!)

    The backup files are in the same place on windows 8, but the folder is hidden by default.  You can view it by pressing Windows + R, then pasting in "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\USERS\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup"
    Or you can tell Windows to show hidden files and folders.  In Explorer go to View menu -> Options button -> View tab and then check "Show hidden files, folders and drives".  Then you can browse to the folder as normal.  This will make all hidden files and folders visible, but you can set the option back if you don't like it.
    I hope that helps!

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
    HTH,
    Kirby.

  • How can I copy the iPhone backup files to another iTunes Library?

    I'm changing to my Window laptop from a PC. I want to copy my iPhone backup to the Library in the laptop. How can I find those backup files? I don't want to lose my apps and everything, you know.

    This article will tell you where your iPhone backup is stored on your computer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946 iTunes content is NOT part of the iPhone backup. You can either copy your iTunes library to your new computer, or you can re-download your purchased iTunes content(except ringtones) to your new computer; http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527

  • In Lion 10.7.4, where are the iPhone backups?

    Before Lion 10.7.4, iPhone backups were usefully to be located in User/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.
    This was handy because it meant that by copying the files you could use more than one computer to access the iPhone(s).
    In 10.7.4, the Backup dossier is still there (when you actually manage to access the now hidden User/Library, for which purpose, by the way, the following thread is a great help: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18386812#18386812), but it is now empty.
    iTunes still recognises synchronized iPhones, so the file is somewhere around…
    Does anyone happen to know where it has been put?
    (I did think of using Time Machine to restore the backups to this pre 10.7.4 location, but decided not to in case that created a glitch.)
    Thanks for any help

    I have read that article but the path provided does not exist on my system. I do not have a file "Application Data" under my user name.
    Your computer is probably set to NOT show hidden files, I know on my PC which has Vista, I need to go into Tools menu/folder options/click on the view tab, you need to look down the list that will have appeared in the little window for SHOW HIDDEN FILES & NAMES, see the picture in the below link. You need to change this to show hidden files etc and you then should be able to see this folder.

  • Where is the iPhone backup?

    Hi,
    Recently, I just backup iPhone via iCloud service. I'm wondering where is the backup file stored at?

    On Apple's iCloud servers.

  • How can I find the iphone backup files

    I recently moved my iTunes files to an external hard drive and wiped my PC.  In the meantime I had to replace my iPhone.  Now I don't know how to restore all the apps, pics, etc to my new iPhone!  Help!

    The location of the backup file is :
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    So it isn't in the iTunes directory, so you may not have copied it - if you did then copy it back to the same location on your computer.
    If you copied the iTunes directory then you should have copies of your apps (though not their content) in a folder called Mobile Applications, if not then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • Where is the ipad backup file in Mountain Lion?

    In Snow Leopard, there was a library folder in the user folder, but in Mountain Lion, you have the system library, but no user library that I can see.  I would like to locate it so that I can have the option of deleting the iPad portion of the Mobile Backups (like I did with SL to free up more space).
    Please advise.
    Thank you!

    And you are sure you are backing up to the computer and not to iCloud?

    The .ipsw files for iPod firmware updates are located at:

    The filenames are a bit cryptic, but you can make out the version.

  • Where are the Spry Javascript files located in Dreamweaver CS4?

    I am sure this is a trivial question but I cannot find them.
    The Adobe Web site states that Dreamweaver CS4 ships with Spry 1.6. I am trying to create a SpryNestXMLDataSet, but cannot find where the js file is stored, to copy it to my site. I do not see anything in the insert Spry data set wizard that allows me to create a nested XML data set. Thus, I can get Dreamweaver to add the xpath.js and the SpryData.js files, but I cannot figure out how to add the SpryNestXMLDataSet.js file, nor find a copy within the Dreamweaver program files.
    Thanks,
    Van

    Hello Van,
    Dreamweaver only includes the Spry files that can be configured using 
    the DW GUI. As there isn't a nested XML configurator yet, its not 
    included in dreamweaver.
    On Mac you can find the Spry files here: /Applications/Adobe 
    Dreamweaver CS4/configuration/Shared/Spry/
    On Windows its probably something like c:/program files/adobe/
    dreamweaver cs4/configuration/shared/spry/ But i don't own a windows 
    pc so I cant tell
