Where can I find my iphone backup files in windows 7?

My computer died and all I have left is the hard drive.  Fortunately it is in good working order and is readable.  I successfully transfered all of my apps and music, but cannot find my pairing information.  Consequently, I cannot sync my devices.  Where are my iphone and ipad backup files located?

Hello Thom,
Good to hear that you are still able to recover information from your old hard drive.  I found an article that provides the locations of the iOS backup files:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
You can find the full article here:

I hope this helps get you back on track!
Best,
Sheila M.

    where can I find the Iphone backup files?

    The following claims the ability to extract Notes from a backup made using iTunes. I haven't used it so can't comment on how well it works. Once extracted the Notes would be readable on your computer but you would still need to get them back to the new phone. http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/

  • Where can i find my iphone backup password?

    where can i find my iphone backup password?

    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password you can continue to do backups and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

  • Where do I find my iPhone backup file on my PC's hard drive?

    I am trying to use a week-old back up of my PC from a portable hard drive, to restore an older backup file of my iPhone (which is done through iTunes). I want to restore the notes of my iPhone4 that I lost after upgrading to iOS 5. Unfortunately, my last available iPhone backup is the one I did after upgrading, and it does not contain these notes anymore. Does anyone know in which folder of the PC's hard drive would these iPhone backup files be located?
    Thanks.

    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    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\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Where can i find my Iphone backup within Itunes

    To assure that calendar, contacts, pictures, movies are synchronized correctly from my Iphone > Itune, -where within Itune on my PC can I find and see the data assuring that I have a full backup ?
    Did it in Itune via the -  right click on Iphone - create security copy (in Swedish - skapa säkerhetskopia).
    Need it secured since my Iphone is going for service (microphone disabled, head-set activated all the time).

    Magnus - seems pasting you the info is a bit beneath some so here it is:
    Where backups are stored
    The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    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\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory

  • Where can I find an iPad backup file in Time Machine?

    I want to restore my iPad from a backup. I know how to do this, and have already done it before.
    However, this time I would like to find a backup that is stored in Time Machine. So, two questions:
    1) can I even do this?
    2) if I can, then do you know where iTunes keeps the backup files for iPad's in OS X Lion? I would assume that I should be able to locate the backup file, copy it to my current day Mac and then restore the iPad using that file, no?
    In previous OS versions the backups used to be in: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    However I have searched my whole machine and can't find a single folder that is called MobileSync. It is not hidden, nor in ~Library, nor in the USER\XXX\Library, nor anywhere.
    Thank you,

    That path is still correct - at least it is on my system - but unless you had Library brought out into a place where it could be found, in the Sidebar for instance, I don't know how you'd get into it in Time Machine. Try this, though: access the user's Library folder via the Go To Folder command, then drag the Library folder into the sidebar. Then run Time Machine and see if the Library folder persists in the TM interface. If it does, you should then be able to navigate into Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ and find and restore the backup folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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 can i find my iPhone backups on Mac OS X Lion?

    Hi,
    I don't know how to find the "mobilesync" folder under Mac OS X Lion.
    In Snow Leopard it was ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup..
    But in Lion the MobileSync folder has dissapeared..
    Does anyone know where I can find them?
    Thanks!

    Apple hid the User Library.
    Click GO -> GO To Folder
    Enter "~/Library" (without quotes) in the textbox. Click GO. This will take you to your User Library
    Open the Application Support folder
    Scroll down to the MobileSync folder
    You should now see your Backup folder that you can open to view your backups.

  • Can't find my iphone backup password

    Where can I find my iphone backup password?

    Where ever you put it. Though, writing down a password is very poor security practice. If you don't have a record of it, there's no way to recover it.

  • I can't find my iPhone backup in Mac OS X Lion.

    After upgraded to Lion, I can't find my iPhone backups any more at  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup, but they still show up in iTunes though. Does anyone know where the new location is? Or it's now hidden?
    Thanks!

    from my understanding "other" are files/data that are not recognized by your Mac. Same with our iOS devices
    Here's an example, Im a big anime fan so I have a folder with tons of animes having a format of .mkv
    my mac does not recognize this that's why it falls under "others". Any file format that's not supported by your native Mac applications are considered others
    If you want to know where these files are located, use "omnidisk sweeper"

    Download Java EE SDK, install it and finally in the lib directory you'll find the javaee.jar. It contains the whole javax package you need.

  • Where can I find the a downloaded file by Software update?

    Where can I find the a downloaded file by Software update?
    For example is there any way to find a package which is downloaded but is not installed(because the installation failed) (in this case 10.5.5) and I don't want to download it once again neither manually nor with software update.

    sina_golesorkhi wrote:

    In ~/Downloads
    For example is there any way to find a package which is downloaded but is not installed(because the installation failed) (in this case 10.5.5)
    Failed installs usually remove the package, just as a proper install removes the package
    All that remains for a proper installation is a Receipt in on of the following directories:
    ~/Library/Receipts (for user-specific installs)
    Macintosh HD/Library/Receipts
    for system-wide installations, including OS-X updates.
    and I don't want to download it once again neither manually nor with software update.
    If it did not install, there is no Receipt and the downloaded file is not on your system
    If you don't want to see it again in automatic updates, put it on ignore.
