Where does iTunes put iPhone backups in a PC (Windows 7)?

Apps are not backed up, app data is. Apps are already located in iTunes and thus do not need to be backed up. See this support document for information about what is backed up via iTunes.
Are you sure about that, because when I backed up my iPad Mini w/7.0.4 and the newest iTunes, it made a 10gb Backup, which is pretty huge considering I only have a "16" Gb Slate iPad (More Like 13.5 Gb).
When I restored it after Jailbreaking, it moved ALL of the Apps I had bought back in - A neat trick if the Apps themselves are not part of the Backup package- Because the apps had NOT been backed up into iTunes on that PC.
iOS 6 did NOT restore my Apps, even though it did restore my folders.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes. At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.

HT1414 where does Itunes store previous backups in a Windows 8 environment

I'm trying to restore from a previous back up and I used to be able to locate them in Vista - but I haven't been able to find all the previous backups in Windows 8

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 click OK.
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 does iTunes 11 on Mac OS X store backup files?

I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 11. Where does iTunes 11 store the backup files for iPhone, iPad, etc? I have looked for a directory ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ -- the MobileSync directory does not exsist and I am looking at all hidden files as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Paul

Make sure you are pointing to the right folder wich is in the home directory:
i.e: "$HOME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"
Where "$HOME" stands for "/Users/YourUserName"
There is another "Library" folder in the "Macintosh HD" disk
and this one is a non-hidden folder when the one in "/Users/YourUserName" is indeed hidden. This is probably where the confusion comes from (happened to me...)

Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software?

Hi All,
I work in technical support and am a bit let down by the current embedded iPod updater in iTunes 7. This works ok except for one thing, after downloading the latest iPod updater from within iTunes 7, i want to transfer the updater to various machines. Searching the libraries came up with nada. Only once i opened up the iTunes 7 package did i find "iPodUpdater.framework" in contents. It also appears that a different updater is downloaded for each model of iPod as opposed to the old stand-alone all-in-one iPod updater. So, Where does iTunes 7 keep the iPod software? We are very bandwidth challenged in my country so it is very handy to be able to keep the latest updates on an external drive, usb disk, etc.
While the embedded updater is nice and clever i think a bit more needs to be done, maybe put it into the Application Support Folder or something?
Thank you in advance

Thanx for your reply SeaBeast.
Erm, ok maybe I'm not being clear.
Pre iTunes7: iPod's were updated using the iPod updater application located in /Applications/Utilities. This could be downloaded as a standalone app and showed up in software updater when updating of the app was required. Easy.
iTunes7:iPod updater is now part of iTunes. Updates are downloaded from within iTunes ( iPod model specific it seems ) and sometimes it has to be forced to update, see
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060912144151766
Where does it keep these downloaded updates?
Does it modify the existing "iPod Updater 2006-06-28.app"?
To my knowledge it is now seperate from this. If it was still seperate i could download it from Apple as a stand-alone but as far as i can see this is no longer the case. Please help. Maybe I'm just being a ******* and missing something simple here.
Thanx again.

Where does iphoto put the library?

where does iphoto put the library?
i thought it would be put in the pictures folder but at least in my case it is not there! the folder is empty.
I can import pictures and they show in iphoto and frontrow but I would simply like to know where on my harddisk they end up.
anybody?
thanks

Chris
No! Don't make anew library it will overwrite your old one.
It's there somewhere, it's just that it's visibility status has changed (why??)
Anyway try the following:
go to http://www.cocoatech.com and download Pathfinder. This is an alternative to the Finder - and it has extra features, among them a View-> Show Invisible Items command. This might help us find it.
Pathfinder is shareware, but you can use it for a trial period without paying.

HT1926 Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Ipone or Ipad?

Why does Itunes installed on a Toshiba Satelite with windows 8 not recognize my Iphone or Ipad?

It's possible that charger damaged some part of the connection on the iPad. There's little metal contacts on that small silicon chip sticking out of the port and if something happens to one of those little contacts it can effect how it works.
You can try taking it into an apple store and have them look at it. If you'd only used 'official' stuff there'd probably be no question but once they know that the damage, potential damage, was caused by a third party device, then it may be up to the discretion of the manager what they do with it. Whether they replace it under warranty or decide that the warranty is void (I honestly don't know how strict they can be with the use of third party devices and how they may/may not work)

Does iTunes sync iPhone contacts by default?

My iPhone 4 died (battery related problem, I think) and all my contact gone with it. So, my question is, if I receive a new iPhone or restored version of my old iPhone, will iTunes restore my contact list?
I've never told iTunes to restore my contacts, so my question is, if that feature is by default on this application.

wjosten wrote:
Because Apple does not want users to rely on an iPhone backup as the sole depository for their contacts...which is good advice. Apple has changed the wording of that support document twice, & IMO it is still poorly worded & I have expressed such. But, I don't write them. Users should be syncing contacts somewhere...many don't.
I shoud add, there is no Apple supported method to access the contents of an iPhone backup.
After looking at the exchange between you guys, I looked also at the Apple support page, where it says at the bottom:
[quote]* Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. Back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM), iCloud, or another cloud-based service to avoid any potential contact data loss.[/quote]
Wow that's clear as mud! So I agree w/wjosten--it's so poorly worded to be incomprehensible. I expect a majority (if not a VAST majority) of users don't regularly sync/backup their iPhones at all, thus their contacts are at risk unless they iCloud them (which is what we do--man that made our lives much simpler since my wife and I share the same Contacts list--changes are pushed and fetched and always in-sync).
Which BTW is another irritant of mine--that Push and Fetch are also poorly described by Apple...

Where does iTunes get CD information?

When you put a CD into your computer and iTunes detects it, where does it pull the artist, album, and track information? Is it the internet or on the CD itself?

The internet, It uses the CDDB owned by Gracenote.
