When itunes backs up my iphone where does it store contacts

When itunes backs up my iphone where does it store contacts

iTunes places the backup files in the following locations:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and then choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start, and then in the search bar type %appdata% and press the Return key.
But I doubt you can retrieve contacts from there.

  • I have backed up iphone where does the info go?

    i have backed up my iphone where does the infromation go

    I'm not sure what you're asking. The "info" is the data sync between your address book, calendar, etc so all that info is supposed to be synced between those apps on the BB and the Mac so the data is resident in those apps.

  • Where are my Camera Roll pics n videos saved in iTunes(Laptop) when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes?

    I backed up my iPhone today in order to save my Camera Roll pictures and videos safely in my Laptop and then I deleted them from my iPhone to make some free space.... And I want those pictures and videos in future back into my iPhone. So I know I must restore my iPhone from back up to get back the camera roll pics and vids. But what I want to know is, where are those pictures and videos saved in my Windows Laptop when I backed up my iPhone to iTunes today? There must be some folder of iTunes or somewhere in the iTunes software where they must be saved after backing up. I want to see them on my Laptop now but how can I do that?
    I did not import them, I backed up my iPhone to my Laptop using iTunes.
    I want to see those pictures on my Laptop since I deleted them from my iPhone after backing up. Where are they in my Laptop now???

    they are in the backup file that, sadly, is not accesible unless you restore it to a phone... if you want/need access to them, you should import them

  • When i back up an iphone on itunes does it save my social network passwords and stuff so when i connect another phone and sync it it'll all be there and i won't have to sign into everything again?

    when i back up an iphone on itunes does it save my social network passwords and stuff so when i connect another phone and sync it it'll all be there and i won't have to sign into everything again? because, i don't know most of my passwords im just signed in to everything on my phone but i'm getting a new one.
    please help

    Hey menaelraghy,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource outlines what is backed up, you may be interested in this section:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    - Keychain (includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications)
    If you encrypt the backup, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you're restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you need to enter these passwords again.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly.  Your contacts will be in whatever program/service that you have chosen to sync.

    What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.

  • When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up for camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    When you back up your Iphone/Ipad it backs up your camera roll. but when you take pictures and it uses photo stream, does that mean there are two copy's of your photos on icloud one set for photo stream and one set for backups?

    What do you mean by storage quota, does that mean i could be photo streaming about 1gb of photos and it does not get taken away from my free 5bg.

  • In updating to iOS7, my music was erased. how to transfer music from my iTunes back to my iphone?

    And my back up was screwed up because it required a password I couldn't remember.  The only way I could reset my password was when I backed up the iPhone again which now had none of my music.
    P.S. now my music button doesn't even respond on iOS7 when i tap on it - because it has nothing.
    HELP!

    Yea, I don't understand your music being in icloud, unless you use itunes match.
    there are no music in your itunes media library.
    Are these purchased songs?

    If you have a backup of your computer, here's the location of the iTunes backup folder:
    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.

  • Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...)

    Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...) Now I would like to restore it via Time Machine

    Hi..
    If you deleted your Safari history, you may not be able to restore using TM but give this a try...
    Go to    ~/Library/Safari
    Look for the History.plist file.
    Best to not use third party utlities such as CCleaner. They tend to do more harm than good.

  • Where does Leopard store my Identity info?

    I dunno what's going on, but Mail insists on continuing to use an email account that was closed and deleted last year, and Safari has some other issues relating to my personal info.
    I'd like to take back control. Where does Leopard store my identify info?
    Thanks.

    Thanks, Baltwo. Any idea where I can edit the zip code that the system defaults to (which is no longer correct)? A couple of websites use my zip code to customize my visits. I can't find my zip code in anything related to Safari. I know I entered one when I first set-up the computer. Where can I find that stuff?
    Thanks!

  • I have 5000 photos on my 16GB iphone, where can I store them where i can access them easily?

    I have 5000 photos on my 16GB iphone, where can I store them where i can access them easily?

    I completely agree Fox.  Photostream should be used as a convenience for sharing, not for anything other than temporary storage. Same goes for the device itself.
    At least once a week, I import my photos/videos from my iPhone to my computer, and at least once a month, I make a backup of my computer to an external hard drive.  And at least once every few months, I burn 2 DVDs of the past few months worth of photos/videos, one for myself, and one that I put in my fire safe with other important hard copy documents.  And there are off-site image storage options out there as well which are available, and I've used occassionally.
    The only time I've ever lost photos was about one half-day's worth while I was on vacation when my camera went overboard.  And this was on day 5 of my vacation.  Each night, I swapped out memory cards and uploaded the current day's card to my laptop.  For anyone going on a trip, I recommend at least three memory cards for your camera, or if you're only using an iPhone, backup to either iCloud or iTunes every day.
    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

  • Where does airdrop use contact details from?

    Where does airdrop use contact details from?

    When you attempt to turn on AirDrop from your iPhone, one of the options is "Contacts Only".  I think your question is that when this appears, which device supplies the contact details?
    The answer is that your iPhone (the device you are turning AirDrop on from) supplies the contact details.

  • Where does portal store the username after a successful log in?

    We have an intranet application, we use the portal security and login screen, etc.
    I have written a stored procedure which requires two parameters. One of them we already have at the time we need to call it. The other is username. All we need
    to know is how to get the username at the time we must call it. Where does portal store the username after a successful log in for the particular session this user is logged into?
    I tried using the following syntax,
    When i log in using PORTAL30 then it returns,
    SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
    2 from dual;
    PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
    PORTAL30
    But when i logged in using some other user i.e.rtemps it returns,
    SQL> connect rtemps@mpdb
    Enter password: *******
    Connected.
    SQL> select portal30.wwctx_api.get_user()
    2 from dual;
    PORTAL30.WWCTX_API.GET_USER()
    PUBLIC
    Why does it return PUBLIC, instead of RTEMPS?
    rtemps is a Database user though.
    How do i test this script for portal users?
    Also my application is a multiple user application.
    So at a given time, there could be more than user logged in, also there could be more than one sessions of the same user logged in.
    what happens in that scenario?
    Thank you,
    Kalpa

    still not working..
    The first page my user goes to log in, is
    http://159.225.218.59/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.draw_custom_login_page
    when i look at this stored procedure, it makes a call to the following procedure,
    PORTAL30_SSO.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
    and passes a parameter ssousername
    From here my user is directed to the home page, which is built using the portlets, the URL for the same is,
    http://159.225.218.59/servlet/page?_pageid=255,257&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
    This is where i want to pass the ssousername, so as to keep track of what the user is doing.
    Question 1: where does this page physically reside, or how do i add the parameter ssousername to this page?
    I have 1 HTML PORTLET, on this page, and the code behind this looks like,
    <!-- PL/SQL Language Definition Section -->
    <%@ page language="PL/SQL" %>
    <%@ plsql parameter="i_pagenum" default="1" %>
    <body>
    <table width = 760>
    <tr>
    Link 1
    </tr>
    </table>
    In the above code, when they click on link 1, it calls a database stored procedure(rpt_param_prov), which is also a psp page.
    In here, i want to pass the parameter ssousername.
    e.g. the link should look like,
    Link 1
    Again this is a HTML portlet, so i don't think it will recognize the psp tags.. so that probably might be another issue.
    But this is what i want to accomplish. So i can use the user who logged in, for my audit trail application, which will be inserting a record in a database table, everytime, the user runs reports that are being clicked.. like link 1 in above example.
    I don't understand why this is so hard.
    When i tried
    portal30.WWCTX_API.get_user, it still brings back PUBLIC or PORTAL30_PUBLIC.
