Where is backup stored on my PC?

I use vista 32, and would like to know where the iphone backup files stored? ie. contacts, calendar, settings etc.
Thx

Try - C:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\[id]\
I don't believe the iPhone's backup stores contact information, calendar events, bookmarks, or photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
This data should be in the supported application or applications on your computer.
The backup stores iPhone settings, SMS messages, notes created with the Notes app, cities tracked with the Weather widget, stocks tracked with the Stocks widget, recent calls, call favorites, alarms, visual voicemail, email account settings, and photos captured by your iPhone.
Basically the backup stores data not included with the sync process.

Where is backup stored?

i am using windows xp. i know itunes places the back up in \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
however, in my application data folder, there is no apple computer folder. even after i clicked "show hidden files", it still does not show.
i am worried, if my computer crashed, i would not be able to restore my iphone backup because i didnt manage to back up the backup.

From the link he posted for you earlier:
"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)."
How does this not answer your question?

Where are backups stored on my windows pc

My C: drive is low on space so I moved the library off to an external drive. My problem is that iTunes does not appear to store backups with the library but is instead using my "low on space" C: drive. I need iTunes to store backups for my iPad and iPhone on the external drive as well but can't find how to configure that in iTunes.

Where are iPhone and Touch backups stored

I queried here and found the following location was stated as where the backups are stored.
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
However, I don't have a Mobilesync folder where it is documented. I am running OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7.
Thanks.

If you are backing up your home folder, you are also backing up your user prefs all of which are stored in "Your User Name"/Library/Preferences. There are several other "Preferences" folders that contain "global" prefs, namely /Library/Preferences and /System/Library/Preferences.
One potential "trap" though... corrupted prefs files are often the cause of anomalous system behavour so saved prefs should be copied back into new folders with caution.

Where is email stored in Time Machine backups?

Just had my computer stolen. I have backups on Time Machine via Time Capsule and want to share my wife's computer until we can buy a new one. So, I want to get my email from the backup and move it to her computer, without doing a total restore of everything else that was on my machine. The problem is, when I go in to the backups, I can't find where Mail is stored. On a mac, I know how to find it by clicking on Option while in the GO menu. This makes Library appear as an option in the Go menu. Without doing this, however, Library is hidden, and it is within this Library that Mail is stored. There is no way to do within the backups because there is no Go Menu in Time Machine - just on the Mac itself. How can I retrieve all of my email from a Time Machine/Time Capsule backup and move it to the other Mac (which uses the same Time Capsule)?

Where are photographs stored on my computer?

as have all my pics on a separate hard disk, want to delete a double i have on my hard disk - problem is cannot find that file anywhere. where do i access in iphoto where and how to put the pictures?
yes, tried in the Pictures folder, but there is nothing there.
i seem to remember that in iPhoto i can somehow reroute where pictures are stored. where and how do i find this?
Many thanks,
Mark

Mark:
Do you have a library currently that is a managed library? That is when photos are imported into it the files are copied into the library package/folder? If so the photos are located in the Originals folder of that library package in your Pictures folder. You can open it like this.
It sounds like you want to have a referenced library where you are responsible for the management of the source files and have iPhoto only use alias files pointing to them. There are some consequences to that system. One is that if you have the library open and the disk gets dismounted iPhoto can lose the link between the alias files and the originals and you may have to reset them either folder by folder (if you're lucky) or file by file. Another downside is that if you delete a photo from the library you will have to find that file via the Finder on the external HD and delete it manually.
You would be better served, IMO, if you had a managed library on the external HD which contained all of your photos. Then have a smaller library on the MBP with just the most current or most important files for when you take the laptop on the road. You can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy albums or events from one library to the other as needed.
You will also need a system to backup the external HD since those will be your only copy of the photos. There's a thread today by a user whose external HD crashed with the only copies of his photos on it. He's paying a considerable amount of money to recover that HD, more than a second external HD would cost. It's something to think about.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Where are iBooks stored on the new Mavericks OS?

I was trying to find where Apple is storing the iBooks on Mavericks. I knew where it was before Mavericks. I download a lot of books and pdfs from the Internet that I manually add to iBooks and I would like to know where they are being stored. I am trying to get my wife's mac with the same books and mine. Right now it is missing a few. It would be easier to just find where they are stored and copy them than for me to go to all ot these websites and redownload everything.

Creating an OS X-style "alias" is not enough. I haven't tried the following solution (and I won't do it myself as my HDD is big enough, sorry), but the correct way to do this kind of jobs on OS X is to create a "symlink", or "symbolic link", which is a UNIX-style alias (read more about it on Wikipedia if you'd like to). To put it short, you type/paste the following commands into Terminal.app, one at a time (you will be making changes to your system files and you will be prompted for your admin password, which is pretty dangerous if you don't understand the mechanisms—remember to quit iBooks.app first, make backups, and be prepared for any damages):
sudo mv "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks" "/Volumes/EXTERNAL DRIVE/PATH TO IBOOKS FOLDER";
sudo ln -s "/Volumes/EXTERNAL DRIVE/PATH TO IBOOKS" "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks";
You should change "EXTERNAL DRIVE" to the name of your drive, and replace "PATH TO IBOOKS" with the path you want to store iBooks documents on your external drive. For instance, replacing "PATH TO IBOOKS" with "iBooks" simply creates a directory named "iBooks" under the root directory of your external drive with the iBooks data. Note that after doing this you won't be able to properly use iBooks without connecting the external drive.
This might or might not work, but I hope this helps.
(If this doesn't work, recover to the original state by quitting iBooks.app first, and type/paste the following into Terminal (you might again be prompted for your admin password):
sudo rm -rf "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks";
sudo mv "/Volumes/EXTERNAL DRIVE/PATH TO IBOOKS FOLDER" "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks";
This will most likely recover your original working state of iBooks.)

I scanned some black and white negatives into my computer (iMac) where they were stored aas positives on the hard disc. When I import them to iPhoto they turn back into negatives. How do I change them into positives for printing?

I have scanned some black and white negatives into my computer(iMac) where they are stored on the hard disc as positives.When I import them into iPhoto to print they turn back into negatives.How do I turn them back into positives?

That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile. You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from Toad's Cellar . Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

Beginners question - making sense of form, item, pane & variable (with relation to where data is stored in the SQL database)

Hi Everyone,
I am new to writing reports (SQL code) for SAP, however I am aware that inside SAP Business One it is necessary to enable System Information (from the View menu) in order to see which tables (and related table attributes / column names) are related to various aspects of the various SAP 'modules' (e.g.: A/R Invoice).
Using an A/R Invoice as an example I can see at the row (or line) level that an item with the description of 'Opening Balance Transfer' is contained in the table INV1, within the attribute (or column) called Dscription.
However not every 'on screen object' shows a table / attribute. For example in the same A/R Invoice if I hover my mouse over the Balance Due field all I see is Form related information.
My question is 'How do I make sense of the Form, Item, Pane, Variable information?', with relation to where data is stored within the SQL database?
Links to online tutorials explaining how this feature of SAP Business One will be much appreciated, along with any personal advice regarding working with this information.
Any (and all) help will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
David

Hi David,
1.Here I am explaining use of each field except pane
a. Form ---> Used in additional authorization creator
b. Item, column--->Useful in creating Formatted search queries (FMS)
c. Variable --> Some of the field values based on another values. ie. indirect values.
d. INV1---Table name
2. How to get variable?
As per your second attachment, to get balance due ,you need doc total field from OINV table. For example,
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[DocTotal] FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.[DocNum] = 612004797
Thanks & Regards,

Upgraded to Creative Cloud from elements 9 where images are stored in Organizer. How do I bring them into Creative Cloud and should I download them to Lightroom, Bridge, or Photoshop itself? Any suggestions?

It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.

Where is iTunes storing my album artwork?

Running:
OS X 10.9 Mavericks
iTunes 11.1.3
All of my 500+ albums in iTunes have artwork, however my Album Artwork folder on my mac is empty and has no photos.
I've looked in iTunes media and all other files and I can't find it anywhere.
(I want to select it as a folder to share with my Apple TV and use it as a screensaver)
Is there anyway I can trace the file location to find out where iTunes is storing all of my artwork?

westkestrel wrote:
I've looked in Album Artwork and it says there are no photos there. (I even searched in each individual folder within it and it is empty)
If they are stored there, they are encrypted anyway, so you would not be able to use them.
When looking through the idividual song files under itunes I can't find anything that isn't in an audio format. There are no jpegs, png, etc.
They are actually embedded in the song files. To get at it, right-click the track in the library, Get Info, go to the Artwork tab, and you should see it. You can do a Copy from there.

Where are services stored in Tiger?

When I drag down an application's menu, particularly Finder, I see a list of 31 services (in some applications some services are greyed out). Many are for third party applications I rarely use. I have looked in:
~/Library/Services --does not exist
/System/Library/Services --has a couple of Apple system services but there's a lot more such as Script Editor which are not there.
/Library/Services --contains a single third party service
Where were services stored in Tiger OS and how do I remove ones I am not likely to use such as ClamXAV? I poked around the insides of an application package or two and didn't see them listed there (at least not obviously).

I still don't know where they are stored, some web site had mention of launchd. but I did find this:
ServicesScrubber - http://manytricks.com/servicescrubber/ - manage Finder Services in pre-OSX10.6 (free)
I kind of suspect services are hidden in the applications themselves, probably under some cryptic identifier. I have a few instances of multiple copies of an application on my computer and I noticed when using ServiceScrubber (SS) it sometimes flagged multiple occurrences of a service. In addition when I ran SS it took a bit of time to scan for services which makes me suspect it was doing a general drive scan of my multiple drives (some extra application copies are on different drives) rather than taking a look at just one or two targeted Services folders.
It seems Apple made services a lot more up-front and manageable post Leopard (kind of a very strange thing for Apple to do given its post-Tiger trend towards its current mother-knows-best attitude). There was mention of a "Services Manager" utility that I saw mentioned on a site dating from 2003 which suggested it was a very early utility but I could only find solid mention of it in a Mountain Lion or something version. It seems it wasn't a very well advertised utility (kind of like all the goodies tucked away in Core Services folder) and was maybe something you had to download specially, and has now vanished for good into the dark pits of edgesuite.

Where are versions stored in Bridge\Adobe Drive?

We are currently working with CQ5 \ Bridge 5 \ Drive 3. Lets say I have video file inside CQ and I want to change the version with Bridge. The new video file is a lot smaller, say 30megs less. I copy the new old file over using Bridge and add it as a version. I can now revert back to the old version if I want to or just use the new one. The question is where is the larger file stored? I don't see it in the DAM any more, only see the new smaller file however. If I check the actual file inside the var\dam in CQ I can see variations but I don't know if these are the actual files.
What I'm getting at is that if I need to replace say 400 larger video files with smaller ones are the large ones still stored some place on the CQ server and would I manual have to delete them? I just need to know where those extra files are stored.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I was unable to find the "show package content" option inside the windows version of Bridge. For whatever reason it only seems to be a Mac option.
Omke Oudeman wrote:
The only file there is the newer version. So, that all comes back to my original quesiton what happens to the original file? Where is it stored. Is it cached some place on the CQ server and I need to delete the original from the versions?
I'm afraid I don't have an answer for that. Don't know how CQ works but in general creating a new and smaller version should leave the original untouched.
But I come to think of it as same behavior as in Lightroom, Aperture or iPhoto that uses a library structure.
Don't know if you are on Mac or Windows. But on a Mac you can select this library file that itself shows only the icon (mostly in default picture or movie folder). But if used with large amount of files it can grow to quit a size. Using right mouse click gives the option to show package content and that reveals several folders with amongst them an original or master folder that contains the originals. (if you find them don't move them to other locations but copy, otherwise you can loose the functionality in CQ
Hope this helps you on the right track.
