where is the ipad backup kept

<Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
And on the assumption that your supplementary question is "It's taking up too much room on my C:\ drive, how do I move it?"...
You can redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool).
In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two togther and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

  • In windows 7 where is the iPad backup file located?

    In windows 7 where is the iPad backup file located?

    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:

  • Where is the ipad backup file in Mountain Lion?

    In Snow Leopard, there was a library folder in the user folder, but in Mountain Lion, you have the system library, but no user library that I can see.  I would like to locate it so that I can have the option of deleting the iPad portion of the Mobile Backups (like I did with SL to free up more space).
    Please advise.
    Thank you!

    And you are sure you are backing up to the computer and not to iCloud?

  • HT4060 Where on the iPad mini do I plug in the power cord?

    I just bought a new iPad mini and need to recharge the battery.  But I don't see where on the iPad to plug in the power cord.  The power cord has the same male connector as my iPhone 4.  Help!

    Use the cable that came with the iPad mini, not with your iPhone. Different connectors.

    Where is the Bookmark backup/restore function ?

    wchapgm: Please ref cor-el's response. Pretty informative.
    And, Thank You both for your kind attention and assistance.
    Lastly, note that there seems 2-B another issue.
    The backup file format used in the older version isn't recognized by the new version !
    So, unless I can find a work-around, I'll have to resort to some "manual transfers" of those resources.

  • Where are the "Reminders" reminders kept on Mac?

    Today I was going through the Reminders application on my Mac and decided to delete the default Reminders list and make some new ones. What I hadn't expected was for the "Completed" list, which has many dates and such that I like to refer to, to delete as well. Additionally, Reminders was set up through iCloud, so it seems that it's permenantly gone.
    However, I have Time Machine backups of my computer, and I imagine that the Reminders must be stored on the computer because iCloud just does the syncing (right?). So I'm wondering if anyone knows where the Reminders are kept on the Mac because I could then restore the original Reminders list.
    If you could help me, I would be eternally grateful to you! Thanks for any help in advance.

    Thanks for the help! They were exactly where you said. I just navigated to the folder as you described and had to look through each one until the folder with the Reminders showed up. (Specifically, I had to go through the .caldav folder). I hope this helped the other person as well.
    By the way, do you know how to make the Reminders show up again in the completed list? I tried copying them into the real Reminders folder on my Mac, but they don't appear in the actual app. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they were orginally deleted. But either way, I can still see the dates.
    Thanks once again.

  • How can I change the location of the iPAD backup

    It is possible to change the location on the harddisk where iTunes is backuping the iPAD?
    Thanks

    are you looking to move the bloated Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup file?  i had this same problem (my iTunes points to an external drive, but the default Backup Profile is still stored locally, and with a 64GB iPhone, it's killing my hard drive.  here's what i found!
    there are several posts about this, none are apple sanctioned it appears, all work arounds.  read these:

    the last one has the most simple directions i think.  here's the direct link to his blog post (i can't take credit!)

    basically you will "Create a symbolic directory link using the mklink command".  no software to install, just a little dos editing.
    best of luck!

  • Where is the iPhone backup file stored which is produced during synching?

    Background: I had a HD crash and replacement: this created problems with the iPhone apps in iTunes (i.e. they "disappeared" from the Applications tab in iTunes.
    Question: why can't I restore the iPhone to the last backup that is automatically made when you sync? Does anyone know where that backup file is located and how to invoke it?
    Thanks and cheers,
    Veit

    Allan, I am puzzled and hope that you can help and clarify:
    I did try the "Restore the iPhone to its Factory Settings" approach and did transfer the iTunes folder (from before the crash) through Time Machine to the new HD. When I connect the iPhone to the computer and start iTunes there, I am informed that an iphone has previously synced with this computer and am asked whether I want to set up a new iPhone or "Restore from the backup of iPhone". BUT, the Last Synched info states that the last sync was TODAY, and NOT as of before the crash (when the Apps and their Settings were OK, i.e. to what I would like to restore). Frustration galore.
    This begs the question: 1.) where on the computer is the last backup stored, and can that be replaced by using an earlier version found on the Time Machine? But then I think I understand you saying that the backup process of the iPhone does NOT contain the Settings and Data related with each third party application, only the app itself; or did I misunderstand you.
    Hence question 2.) Where are the data and settings of the apps stored: in the Backup that's created when syncing (and apparently only a single, i.e. the last backup is kept, and that in my case is useless), or in the Mobile Applications folder under iTunes, which can be restored.
    And finally 3.) you state: cancel the backup when you connect the iphone to the computer running iTunes. When I click on the x next to where it says that the iPhone is being backed up, it cancels the whole sync process, not only the backup process.
    Sorry to bother you so much, but I'd really hate to loose all the data and settings of the ninety or so Apps which I am using. Again, many thanks in advance for any clarifications.
    Cheers,
    Veit
    I am using vers. 3.0.1 on the iPhone and iTunes 8.2.1 on a PowerBook G4 (i.e. NOT Intel based)

    Windows 7 is not supported.
    If the iPhone's backup is in the same location as Vista with Windows 7, this link provides where the iPhone backup is located with XP and Vista.

  • Where does the iPad store passwords?

    If I need to log into a site on my Mac I can find the password in keychain access. I need to know how to access stored passwords on my iPad. My iPad is currently connected to my daughter's wifi but I need to go online with my laptop. She is not available to tell me the password. Where can I find the password?

    rbrylawski,
    It is no more of a security issue on an iPad or iPhone than on a laptop MacBook Pro.  There is no reason that you could not have a special password-protected area that would allow you to see the automatic passswords that it is using.  Mac's have keychain access, there is no reason the iPad and iPhone have to hide those passwords.
    I have had the occasion several times to need to sign onto a WiFi site with my iPhone, when I had previously done it with my iPad. Unfortunately, I didn't memorize the password and had a lot of trouble making connection.
