Where do I find deleted ipad backup on computer

I need to find a deleted ipad back-up on my imac.
Another post said that it can be found at "Edit>Preference>Device>Device Backups", however I cant find this filepath? Can someone point me in the right direction?
I was trying to restore a back-up onto a new Ipad but itunes said I coulnd't because the software on the new ipad was out of date and that I needed to restore it. When I started to do this the old back-up disappeared from my list of back-ups.

That path refers to your computer's iTunes i.e. go into Edit > Preferences (iTunes > Preferences on a Mac) on it and on the Devices tab on that there should be a list of your backups for your devices (generally only one backup is kept per device, though if you've updated the iOS version on a devicee you might have a pre- and post-update backup).
The actual backups are stored on your computer under :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Note: The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, Option-click the Go menu.
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 click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \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.

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.

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:
iTunes: About iOS backups

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

Where can I find deleted bookmarks? where do they go? I want to delete them completely. Ed.

Where can I find deleted bookmarks? where do they go? I want to delete them completely. Ed.

Hi Ed,
The bookmarks are stored within a file called ''places.sqlite'' which is a database, so this is changed, an individual bookmark is not stored as an html file. In addition Firefox makes some backup files automatically of with the name bookmarks, a date and the extension .json.
If you delete a bookmark from your library it will still exist for a while in the bookmarks backup. Additionaly a record of the site visit will be held in the History unless you visited whilst using Private Browsing.
If you were to delete places.sqlite note you would loose History as well as ALL your own bookmarks, including any tags keywords folders and descriptions.
Not sue whether that answers your question fully as I am not too sure what you may wish to achieve. Has something happened that you wish to prevent?
Depending on what you are trying to do some of these may be worth reading:
*[[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
*[[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
*[[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]]
*[[Remove websites from the Awesome Bar suggestions]]

Where can I find the iPad back up files on my PC?

Try "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup".
If Moible Applications is inside iTunes instead of your media folder then you should consider using File > Library > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder>".

where can i find my data/backup file on my account? thanks

The restore from backup process is all or nothing, & if you've been told NOT to restore from backup, there is no supported way to "selectively" restore an iPhone backup. You can use third-party software to "extract" data from your backup:

The best way to get photos from your iPhone to your PC is described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
If you want to extract content from your backup you will need a 3rd party iPhone backup extractor. There are quite a few; google for it, and choose a free or inexpensive one.

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.

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 Do I Find My Printer on my Computer?

This might seem like a dumb question, but where do I find my printer on my computer? I recently installed a new HP laserjet printer and wanted to scan a picture, but I got a scanning error (it said that there was no scanner found). I opened up an icon on the bottom, but the product that it worked with was my old printer which I do not have connected to my computer any more. There was only one option for the printer in the drop down menu. However, I have been able to print out documents and pictures from my new printer. My last printer, an HP inkjet, also gave me an error message whenever I tried to scan something. I want to find the place on my computer where it gives the information of where things are, like the hardware. I know it is on here somewhere as I recently was there, but can't seem to remember how I got there. Thanks for any help. I am looking specifically for help in installing the scanner part of the printer.

Currently shipping docs are for Oracle Waveset 8.1.1
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/sjs.ident.mgr81~1514.7#hic
You'll probably want to start with the Deployment Guide & Reference to get a feel for the different components.
Specifically, you're looking for something better than Ch. 5 : XPRESS Lanugage in the Deployment Guide.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-0378/bvbps?a=view
You should review the forms and look for the dependencies of other forms, libraries, rules et al.
Forms may be used by workflow, the other major XPRESS execution area in Waveset.
In certain deployments, reusable form components are stitched together with elegance; in others, it's a train wreck of one-use forms that duplicate vast amounts of unreadable code in dozens and hundreds of files.
Typically, a build procedure is generated to allow you to click forms into a larger project deployment structure. Without knowing what's lying around, it's tough to examine a single file and get an idea for how the object affect the installation...
The netbeans plugin for Waveset provides easy access to help on many functions and the entire javadoc set for com.waveset, which may have shortcuts you can learn from... especially around building a base project and customizing simple objects.
If the Identity System Essentials tutorials are still around, they were a good place for template examples...

I used sync to get notes from my i-pad to my computer. It apparently went to my windows 2007 but where do I find the notes on my computer?

Thank you.
Your answer led me to the notes I was seeking.
When I looked at the bottom of the left side in outlook I did not see any icon but I saw a little arrow.
When I clicked on that it I was able to specifiy that I wanted an icon for notes.
When I added the icon, I was able to click on the icon and find my notes.
