Where does my ipod backup go?

Hey guys,
everytime I connect my ipod to my computer, it backs up
I dont want this to happen anymore becasue i now have very less space on my Home Backup E and i do not want to fill it with my ipod backup.
So can you guys please tell me where my ipod backs up to so i can delete previious backups and can you guys also tell me how to turn the backing up option off?

You can set your backup into iCloud which is a online data saving place. Once you your iDevice connected to iTunes, you will see a thing that says the name of the ipod, go there and go to "Summary". It offers a thing that says Automatically Backup, select iCloud.
There you go. If there is a way to change so no backup occurs, I do not know it! Hopefully this works!

N200 Rescue and Recovery - where does it store backups?

I've got an issue with the rescue and recovery on my laptop. I want to delete old backups and when I get my automated RnR pop up on a friday afternoon instead of doing a backup I click on the link that says "you can modify this schedule by launching RnR here". From that I get a list of all the old backups made on my laptop and the option to delete any one of them. I click on the delete button next to an old backup that's obviosuly taking up valuable HD space and a little window pops up telling me "Please wait while the backups are deleted" and then the little hour glass spins round and round for hours on end. I clicked this at 5pm this evening and it is now 11pm and it's still there. Don't think it's deleting anything and has just timed out. It's done this every time I try.
Is there a way to configure the RnR so that I can specify that I want the backup to go onto my external hardrive?
Where are these backups stored on my laptop so that I can go in and delete them manually as doing them vis RnR is definitely not working,
Thanks

I would pull the hard drive and place it in an external
usb enclosure.
Copy the important files off of it if possible.
You may not get it to boot again with out re installing windows,
or hard drive may be damaged.

Where does the Ipod Maps App get its location from?

Mine thinks it is in Queensland but it is in Victoria

Location on the iPOd is determined by the location of a nearby wifi router that is in Apple's database of routers and their location. The iPod does not have to be connected to the router, just within rage. As of yet, nobody seems to know how to add to or correct Apple's database.

Where does iphone put backup files? I have time machine, ios 10.6.7, iphone 3. Thanks!

I am looking to retrieve an important text that somehow I erased! Where might you suggest I look for a iphone backup & do you know if texts are also backed up?

SMS's are included in the iPhone backup:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
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\

Why does my ipod backup mess up my iphone settings?

So I recently got an iphone 5 and restored it from my ipod toouch 4 ios 6.1.6 backup and now some of the features of the iphone are replaced by the ipod's. If you have a newer idevice, you know that when you hold down the volume down button for about 2 seconds it auto mutes it but since ipod 4's dont have that feature, the backup that of the ipod that I put in my iphone also makes it lose that feature. Another problem is the ipod 4 dies at around 16% to 15% and now the battery setting on my iphone thinks that when it is 15% it is time to turn off. Is there a way to fix this without losing all my apps?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

When connected, where does the iPod appear in My Computer?

My iPod is not registering on either the updater or iTunes. As of now, I'm trying to figure out of its present on my computer, but I'm not sure where to locate it.

Check your device table or computer management. I am having a similar problem. it shows up in the device table with an X on.

Backing up my ipod touch...where does it all go?

So, my iPod touch has a bunch of music on it, and I don't have it all on this laptop. It was on my laptop that my school gives me during the school year but takes it for the summer. I have a lot of music in my itunes on my home laptop, but not all of the stuff on my iPod. I manually went and right-clicked my iPod in itunes and clicked "back up", and it took some time and supposidly backed it all up. Where does itunes store it? I found one of the folders but my computer doesn't recognize any of the files. Is this like a special coding itunes puts on the files so that only it can decode them? Bottom line is, if I end up restoring my iPod from the backup I just manually made, will all my music on my iPod, from school and home laptops, be put back on my iPod? Thanks for any help!

The backup that itunes performs does NOT include music or apps or movies or videos.
All of your music should be on your computer. Sync it back to the ipod.

Where does iphone backup when hooked to mac

When I plug my iphone into my Mac. It automatically backups up when iTunes launches. Where does it backup to and can I turn this off?

Just to 'Help' and not to 'Bash', my personal experiences are that having backups enabled (both in iCloud and on my Mac) is a VERY secure and safe set of options, even if I have to select each option independently in order to benefit from both!
Having had a Mac failure and a 'connected device' failure in succession, I've been able to recover both from backups (including a Time Capsule in the mix) without ANY data-loss, solely because of having adequate backups in the 'Apple' world linked to my AppleID.
I have friends who think that Apple has some 'other' motive for backups: something to do with spying on individuals (or other mistaken reasoning).
Someone said "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they're not out to get you!", but who is SO important that Apple would waste their time using their SERVICES to HARM any individual by spying on them? If an individual is worried about 'others' having access to Apple, then perhaps that individual needs to think more about their possibly 'questionable' activities which might make that individual a target for the 'others' about whom they are so concerned?
To me, if a company offers a service and breaks its own rules surrounding that service then SUE THEM FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL!! Otherwise, use the service, wisely, for your own benefit!

Where Does Lightroom Store Catalogs, Previews, and Backups?

1. By default, where does LR store:
a. Catalogs (.lrcat)
b. Previews (.lrdata)
c. Backups of Catalogs and Previews
2. Can these locations be changed?
2a. If so, how does one specify where LR will store each of the above?
3. Is there a specific relationship of location the Catalog, the Preview, and the Backups, or any partial combination of those three, must remain in?
3a. If so, what is/are that/those relationships?

a) By default in the Lightroom folder within My Pictures / Pictures
b) Always in the same folder as the catalogue
c) Wherever you tell it - which should be somewhere different. No backup of Previews.
Re 2, just move the catalogue in Explorer / Finder, double click it. If you didn't move the Previews, LR starts a new one in the same folder as the catalogue, following (b) above.
Re 3, answered above. Backups can / should be elsewhere and it's your choice where.
Notice that in Catalog Settings there's a Show button that reveals where your catalogue is.

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.

What's the Deal with the iPhone Backup? Where Does It Back Up to?

When my iPhone does its backup thing (and gee I wish I could turn that off permanently but nothing seems to stick in the preferences... have to stop it manually in iTunes each time... anyway...), where does the backup reside? It takes a couple of hours to do a backup, so I'd think there was a lot of actual content being moved to my Mac. But there's 14GB of content on my iPhone and my hard drive isn't losing 14GB of storage space... not even 100MB from what I can tell!
So what's really happening during a "backup"? If I wipe the content off my iPhone with a restore, where will the backup content come from?

On a Mac, the iPhone's backup file is stored at Home > Library > Application Support > MobileSync > Backup.
The iPhone's backup stores data such as most iPhone settings, SMS messages, email account settings, notes, recent calls, call favorites, 3rd party applications or some 3rd party applications and any data created/stored by a 3rd party application, and photos captured by your iPhone.
The backup does not store iTunes content, contact information, bookmarks, or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone. This data should be available on your computer.
Basically the iPhone's backup stores all data not included with the sync process.
When performing a Restore with iTunes, the options are to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If you constantly cancel the backup process, this may cause the backup to become corrupt and if you never allow it to finish, you won't be able to restore what should be saved with the backup.
How many 3rd party applications do you have installed and regularly use that create/store data?
And do you have a number of photos that were captured by your iPhone available that have not been imported by your computer and then erased from your iPhone as with any other digital camera?
If so and you regularly capture more photos, these are included with the backup.

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.
