Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: About iOS backups
It shows the locations of backups and how to use them with iTunes.

  • HT1296 Can you sync your iPhone to more than one computer?  I.E. work computer and home computer?

    I would like to know if it's posible to sync my iPhond 4S to my home computer and my office computer. 

    No. By design, iPhone syncs or manually manages iTunes content with one computer at a time.

  • How do I sync my iPhone 4s with a different computer other than the original one that I used initally?

    How do I change computers for syncing my iPhone 4s?  The original laptop that I used to sync with died and I can not get my iPhone to sync with my desktop.

    can't if you do not have access to the old library (the usual workaround is to backup the old library and import it to the new itunes)
    for important data...
    sync your existing contacts with icloud, your text messages will not be disrupted, music will sync with whatever music you have on your new itunes, photos shoud still be in the camera roll (I would sync them to photostream before you sync, just in case).   Any photos on your phone that are not in camera roll or photostream... if you lost those pictures with the computer crash I would take screen shots (lock button + home button at the same time) of each photo so they show up in the camera roll.  App data may or may not be lost.  In my experience, it depends on the app.  Some of the apps recognize your apple ID and sync data over the internet with servers, some do not.  I would take note of important data (such as passwords in a password keeper if you have such an app) just in case if you lose that data.

  • I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with itunes on a Windows 7 laptop. When I go back to my music there are exclamation marks next to many songs. I have reinstalled iTunes

    I get an error message when I sync my iPhone 5 with iTunes on my Windows 7 Samsung laptop.  I recently backed up all of my data using Samsung Recovery Solution 5 to an external hard drive so that I could restore my laptop.  I put all of my data back on the restored laptop and reinstalled iTunes. After the error message that says that certain items could not be found and the "sync" is finished I go back to my music in iTunes and there are exclamation marks next to many songs.  I follow some instructions regarding the Edit - Preferences - Advanced settings and the exclamation marks go away until I try to sync my phone again.  Then I get the same error message and the exclamation marks return.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and the same thing happens again.  I am about to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar but would like to avoid that if possible.  Thank you in advance for any help. 

    Hello Courtney,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your music to your iPhone.  It sounds like iTunes is not able to locate the original file for the song to transfer it to your device.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to locate you music files on your computer:

  • When i sync my iphone 4 with itunes, always show "determining apps to sync

    when i sync my iphone 4 with itunes, always show "determining apps to sync

    I've been experiencing the same problems, until my friend told me to manage my songs and albums manually instead of syncing it. to do that, connect your phone to the macbook via usb and go to 'songs', and scroll down. check the box that says 'manually manage songs and albums', and from there all you do is drag-and-drop your playlists into your iphone under the 'device' tabs. as for the random songs, uncheck the box that says 'automatically fill free space with songs'. hope this helps!

  • What does iTunes backup when you connect your iPhone

    Hi,
    Can someone help me to understand the following two folders.
    I have been using the iPhone since when it first came out (2007) and syncing with iTunes, one thing I havent understand is what is iTunes actually backing up when you connect your iPhone, does the backup contains everything in your iPhone?
    In other words does the backup contains your iPhone apps, photos etc.?
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The other folder I don't fully understand is the "Mobile Applications" folder, the reason for this question is because I relocated my default Media folder to an exteranl HD and when I sync my iPhone everything is fine I haven't had any problems but when I go and open this folder it has only a few apps but my iPhone has a lot more.
    Why the amount of apps in my "Mobile Applications" folder doesn't match the amount of apps on my iPhone?
    Can someone tell me what is this folder for?
    ...music/Media/Mobile Applications
    I'm currently running, iOS5
    Thanks a lot!

  • HT4623 when you restore your iphone do you loose all data

    When you restore your iphone do you loose all data????

    When you restore all new - you will lose text message, pictures.. however you can sync back contacts/apps/music via itunes.  IF you imported your pics to your computer you can sync it back with itunes.
    If you restore from backup - then no data loss.

  • What is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    what is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    Hi steven1098,
    If you are referring to the green portion of the status bar at the bottom of iTunes that indicates current usage and available capacity, that portion (the green section) represents the spaced used by your apps themselves. You may find the following article useful:

  • When you sync your phone does data go from phone to pc or pc to phone

    Good morning, when you sync your iphone4, is the phone uploading to the pc or is the pc downloading to the phone?  What is the overriding situation?  Also, can you delete unwanted phot folders from the phone or do you have to try to "restore" phone to factory settings and start again or will this even work?  I am always guessing when I sync because I am never sure which way it is going.  Thanks for any help.

    I thought I tried the uncheck/check but maybe I didn't so I will give that a try.  It is actually my friends phone (I try stuff on mine but I was hesitant on someone else's phone) so I will try that when I visit them again next week.  Thank you, I will let you know if I am successful.

  • Can you sync your iphone to a specific date?, can you sync your iphone to a specific date?

    can you sync your iphone to a specific date?

    The only control you have is that, if you're syncing Calendars in iTunes, you can specify how many days back you want to go (e.g. "Last 30 days")
    Other than that, not really - you can do thing slike limit how meany messages Mail downloads, but that's not much help

  • When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

    Title says it all,
    when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
    My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

    Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.
