Where can i find the files after backing-up in itunes? i'm using windows 7. thanks!

i cant locate my back-up files after running a back-up in itunes. please help.

Okay...I have some more information and perhaps we are getting closer.  On the 250GB, first I went into that disk and used Disk Utilty to re-format it once using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then a second time, zeroing it out. I did a screen shot to review if needed, and both times it looked perfect...249GB available.  Then I went into the Time Machine preferences to get ready to backup again, and it had not excluded the other external 120GB with iTunes so I excluded it. I may has previously, never noticed in that screen that it takes a bit of time for it to calculate the information to save.  I may have just clicked on it quickly without reviewing it first.  Today I did, and gave it time to calculate.  At one point the actual 250GB itself, showed up and I excluded it too like the 120GB.  After it finished, the calculations are still it wrong - claiming it has a 200GB backup when the iMac either contains 150GB (based on when I do Get Info) on it or from OmniDisk which calculated about 100GB.  I have not allowed Time Machine to do a backup yet, until this discrepancy can be clear.
One thing that I thought I had seen or reviewed previous on the Time Machine settings was my home folder - I could be wrong but wanted to mention that.  Another little tidbit to ponder an well is that I have a files of icons that I use for the Hard Disks, and a few folders where I Get Info on the Icon and on the destination and just cut and paste.  I did that today to the 250GB after zeroing, but while I was in the Time Machine settings the change was deleted and neither the manufactures icon was there nor mine, and it has the default blue-green one the software uses.  I know, because my sister's is that way on her system-unchanged.
Feedback?

    because my macbook went to sleep, my hard disk is full. What happened? Where can I find the file i need to erase

    It's hard to tell -- just going to sleep shouldn't have caused a problem.  Something else may be going on.

  • When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    When I click "about this mac" to check on my storage, I get a number of different sections music, movies, etc. but also I get a section called backups, where can I find the files in this section?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
    See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

  • Where can I find the file where the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored?

    In our company we are using DHCP to assign static ip addresses to our clients.
    Now we are forced to change the ip address range. To prevent changing each allocation
    of mac-address to ip-address manually with the admin tool i would like to change the allocation
    in the file where the allocations are saved. The reason ist that i just have to use copy & paste for all
    the allocations.
    So how is the file named and where can I find the file where
    the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored? Is it just an ASCII file?
    Must i note anything when i change the file manually?

    From man bootpd:
    BOOTP/DHCP STATIC BINDINGS
         Static IP address to ethernet address bindings are stored in the /etc/bootptab file and in Open Directory.  Bindings specified in the /etc/bootptab file take precedence over those in Open Directory.
         See bootptab(5) for more information about the /etc/bootptab file.
         For Open Directory, bootpd looks at the /Computers records for the following properties:
    /etc/bootptab is a standard text file, while the records in Open Directory can be manipulated either through the command line, or via Workgroup Manager.

  • Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading?

    Where can I find the file sizes for each application before downloading? I have limited download (525 MBs/day) because of Hughsnet and I need to know each applications total size before I download.

    You can go to the trial page to get an estimated size.  As the Creative Cloud products change over time though this may become less accurate.
    If you are on a limited bandwidth account then you may want to consider purchasing a perpetual copy of Creative Suite 6 as opposed to subscribing to the Creative Cloud.

  • Where can i find the file manager of yendo?

    where can i find the file manager in yendo phone(sony ericsson)

    I do not think there is a default file manager in the Yendo.
    I think you have to connect your phone via the USB cable to the PC in Mass Storage Mode and use the PC file manager.

    thx alot

    Depends on game, i would look first on the game file itself, right click (or ctrl click) the game file you installed (Applications?) and select show package contents, its usually a application bundle, as in basicly a folder where the application and the required files and subfolders are.

    Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    You can view the full purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    On an iOS device you can only view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • HT1766 When Apple does a backup of my iPhone 5 on my computer, where can I find the files?

    I have just done a computer backup of my iPhone 5. The backup did not indicate where on my computer the backup files are stored. Where can I find the location of the backup files for iPhone 5 on my computer?

    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\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and clickOK.
    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 the Return key.

  • Where can I find the files when I "Created iPod version"?

    I tried getting some of my video podcasts onto my iPod by using the "Create iPod version" but only audio plays. Where can I find these files so I can delete them and get them off my iPod?

    Select the movie in the iTunes Window (you should see it in Library > Movies) and ctrl-click or right-click it. Then select "Show in Finder" and you will see the File.
    Usually it should be located at
    Users > your home >Music >iTunes >iTunes Music > Movies >your movie name(iPhone & iPod).m4v
    if your library is managed by iTunes and located at the default place.
    But don't delete the movie in the Finder, delete from iTunes, otherwise you will be left with an inconsistent library.

    Hi, I followed the directions several times to transfer my PC files to my new MackBook Pro....says complete...but I can't find the files...any idea what I did wrong? Thanks!

    Check your user accounts to see if Windows created a new one. I've read it does when migrating. Check for the files in that account, if it did create a new one.
