Where are backups for iPhone, iPad placed

When I sync my iPhone or iPad, iTunes always backups, which is great. Where can I find those files or folders.

There are no music or apps or vids in the backup that itunes performs when syncing. 
It is certainly no substitute for the regular backup of your computer that you should be performing.
Here is info on the backup that itunes does:

  • Where are backups stored on my windows pc

    My C: drive is low on space so I moved the library off to an external drive.  My problem is that iTunes does not appear to store backups with the library but is instead using my "low on space" C: drive.  I need iTunes to store backups for my iPad and iPhone on the external drive as well but can't find how to configure that in iTunes.

    Hello Sunnyside1,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Can anyone tell me where the Apps for the Ipod Touch are stored on my PC? I am trying to find them. (Dell Inspiron, Windows Vista).
    *C:/Documents and Settings/Username/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications/*. With username being the name of the user account you are currently logged in with on your computer.

  • Where are files for my applications kept? I'm trying to do a clean install.

    I have an intel imac OS 10.6.8. I have to do a clean install and need to transfer my files to a USB flashdrive because time machine hasn't backed up in 3 months. Where are files for my applications kept?

    Since you mentioned Time Machine, I'm assuming you have an external hard drive? So why not make a complete backup - either with Time Machine or a bootable clone with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperSuper? Applications sometimes transfer well, but not always - it depends how many files/parts they have on the hard drive in different locations. There is no simple answer to your question because of that - it depends on the individual application. I'd back up all of it, do the install, and then use Setup Assistant to port things back.

  • Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops?

    Does the Wish List for iPhone/iPad/iPod show price drops? I assume it would show the new price in the Wish List but does it inform you if the price drops?

    The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
    For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
    If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

    i want to transfer itune contacts backup for iphone 4 to new iphone

    You can follow the instructions in the page you linked from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 to transfer everything from your old phone to your new one. If you only want to transfer contacts and you still have your old phone (or if the contacts are already on your computer) you could sync the contacts as described in: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12317
    Also, if you still have the old phone you could sync them via iCloud without using a computer: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • What anti-theft solutions are best for the ipad?

    Hello,
         I would like to know which anti-theft solutions are best for the IPad. I am ordering several for work and I would like to know. Thanks.

    It depends upon how far you are willing to go.  Keeping it locked in a bank vault comes to mind but I suppose you want more flexibility.  Are you talking about physical attachment or just something to discourage a thief, or something to protect data integrity in case of theft? Realize that in many situations somebody may steal something and only later check if it has any value.  If it doesn't they will toss it in the nearest river, but you've still lost it.  As for iPads, a thief can reset one and it's like new.
    Find My iPad - http://www.apple.com/ipad/icloud/#find - has to be enabled before device is lost.  It also requires the device be on and connected to registered WiFi network or data service, and not having been restored by the finder (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).  If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.

  • HT4623 How can i do backup for my ipad?

    could u tell me how can i backup for my ipad? And then i can't not download the latest version.my ipad is ipad4-128GB.

    TThere was a link to the backup article in the Updating your iOS device article that led you to this forum. Take a look at this.
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    And what do you mean by I "can't not" download? A double negative makes it confusing. What are you asking about?

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but im getting this message "iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. then try again." How?

    I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but i am getting this error message " iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. Then try agian." How do I do that?

    It sounds like the iPad wasn't erased to me. If the iPad is totally cleared of content, there should be nothing on it and no backup to create.
    Without connecting the iPad to your computer - Launch iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Prefences>Devices. Do you see an iPad backup in there? If you do see it, delete it.

  • Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

    Why don't .png files display in Safari for iPhone, iPad?

    James,
    Thanks for your response.  The image was on a site I maintain.  I have already replaced the image with a jpg, which works fine.  I believe I can duplicate the problem, if you think it is worth it.  Gimme a few...
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about2.html is the page with the png I restored to use.
    http://www.oaksbible.org/Contents/about.html is the page with the replacement jpg
    Just checked.  The png still does not display on iPhone(5) or iPad(3).  The image was also made by me in pixelmator and both (png and jpg) were exprted from pixelmator.
    thanks again,
    Tim

  • Export for iPhone & iPad same time - Without resolution issues?

    Hello,
    I have developed an app for the iPhone and it runs perfectly fine on the iOS for iPhone. I am trying to port it to the iPad so I have done the proper stage adjustments and have set export as "iPhone & iPad"
    It opens up fine on my iPad, but the same app opens distorted on my iPhone (since the stage resolution isn't native, so it gets squished)
    How can I make my app iPhone/iPad friendly all in one IPA?
    Thanks.

    Use the same iphone version without any change on the stage and publish it for Iphone/Ipad with full screen parameter.

    hello
    i bought my first mac and i want to become an iOS developer and creat app for iPhone iPad but now i have only iPad 4 and i want to buy iPhone 5s but I'm not sure to buy iphone5s now or wait for iPhone 6 because iphone6 may have bigger screen if i buy iphone5s now can i creat app for iPhone 6 if it has bigger display without buying it just test it on iPhone 5s
    thanks

    One of my favorite things about developing for iOS using Xcode is the Simulator. It runs any of the iOS devices simulated right on your Mac. If you don't have a hardware device to test your application on, the Xcode simulator will surely be your best friend.
    So to answer your question less vaguely, yes. You can own the iPhone 5s and develop for the 6. There is no real release information of the iPhone 6 at the time anyways, so I would not let it play too large of a factor in your decision.

  • I have a presentation to make to a customer and need to know how many educational apps are there for the iPad/iPod?

    I have a presentation to make to a customer and need to know how many educational apps are there for the iPad/iPod? More specifically special education apps.
    Thanks

    Keep in mind as well that not all apps are "created equal".  Some are really good, and others are not very good.  You might also want to look at some education sites for recommendations.  An example of a general iPads in education forum is
    http://ipadeducators.ning.com/
    but I imagine some exist for special education needs as well.  Our healthcare organization is using some apps for working with autistic children and find them very helpful.

    No, not unless you have a backup for the important data on your Mac stored on an external drive or some other external media that includes the iPhone's backup.
