Where is the iphone back up file located?

I would like to save my back up file before upgrading my phone.
I would like for this file not to be written over when I sync the phone next time.
Can someone please tell me where I locate this file and what it is called?
Thanks,
Lori

It's stoered on your pc, the path would look something like this: C:\users\your computers name \AppData\Roaming \Apple computer\Mobilesync\backup. Your computer might be differant

DIsk Utility fail: Where are the "temporary back up files" ?

I was running out of space on my hard drive, so i freed up 50G by backing up and then deleting some photo and video files. I thought, like on a PC, i could run the disk utility to "erase free space" (and possible give me even more free G's) but it got stuck near the end, saying there was no longer enough disc space to continue. I deleted some more files, but it didn't help. Now my hard drive is COMPLETELY FULL (when I use inspector, it literally says "Available: Zero KB"). I think disk utility was making a temporary backup file, and that's what used up all of my free space (although I might be wrong), and sinbce it didnt finish the job, the files are still on the computer taking up unnecessary space. But now i have no idea where all of those files are! Where should they be stored? I need to free up some space ASAP! I'm a Graphic Designer, and I need this computer for work, asap.
Is there perhaps a free program that will show me a full look at my HD space, and say which files are taking up the most space, so that I can delete -or back up- accordingly? Or maybe one that will delete unnecessary cached files or something.... I'm in panic mode!
Thank you so much in advance for your time and help!

This is serious greek. Can you explain what I should do with this information, please?
Sorry, I hadn't looked at that in a while.
Open the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). Be *very careful* with this app. It's a direct link into UNIX, the underpinnings of OSX, but without the protections of OSX.
In Terminal, the prompt looks like this: user-xxxxxx:~ <your name>$
(where <your name> is your short user name). It's followed by a non-blinking block cursor.
Copy the following after the prompt:
sudo rm -f /var/root/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/*
and press Return. It should then ask for your Admin password (which won't be displayed). Press Return again.
There may or may not be any messages displayed; you'll know it's done when you see the prompt again.

Where does the System's Properties file locate?

I have searched it in the path : Java_Home\jre\lib
But i couldn't found.
I want to add some Properties to it but i don't want to do it at runtime by using System.setProterty().

You can define preferences. But using these are more complex than system properties.
No matter how you define the System properties in the end setProperty or setProperties needs to be called at runtime. These properties are runtime settings.

Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: About iOS backups
It shows the locations of backups and how to use them with iTunes.

I plugged my phone into my a different computer (mac) that was not mine and it asked me to restore the phone. I started to back up the phone, then ended the phone got unplugged in the middle of the backup. Now we can't find where the iPhone backed up.

If it there is a backup you will find in in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup. (Just open Finder>Go>Go To Folder..., past this in the path box and click Go.)

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>".

Then you won't be able to use that backup. You might as well delete it and start over.

IPhone automatic backup file location while upgrading to iOS 5

I need to know where is located the iPhone automatic backup file created by iTunes while upgrading iPhone to iOS 5 via iTunes 10.5.2.11 / Windows XP. Itunes creates automatically a backup of iPhone before upgrading and will restore this backup after upgrade is completed. I need to know where to find this backup file.
I just upgraded iPhone to iOS 5 via iTunes on Windows XP. I forgot to make my own iPhone backup before upgrading. After upgrading and restoring iPhone (the automaitc backup), iTunes started a sync with Outlook even tough I had checked in iTunes "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically".
I did not wish iTunes to sync with Outlook, and cancelled the sync. Now I got a lot of stuff mixed up in my iPhone and I would like to restore my iPhone with the automatic backup created by iTunes before upgrading to iOS 5. This backup doesn't show in the backups listed in iTunes / device backups.
Thank you.

Had same problem, but IOS 5.0.1 can't find automatic backup on my laptop, not sure if it excists?

Can't sync events created on the iPhone back to Outlook or iCal

after upgraded my two iPhones to 1.1.4 I cannot sync events created in the iPhone back into Outlook on my Vista machine or iCal on my Macbook (for the second iPhone). I searched the forum but found no answer other than a RESTORE... I already needed a RESTORE in one of the iPhones as music data got corrupted after upgrade (it created a huge OTHER file.
1.1.4 fixed bugs and added quite a few!
any advice out there other than RESTORE? As always the helpful agent from apple support suggests restoring the iPhone and denies anybody else having issues.

The first question I wold have to trouble shoot your problems is: Do you have an active open account on Outlook? Do you have more then one account active on outlook? When you connect your iPhone to iTunes and go to the second Tab...What boxes do you have selected? Are you set up to Auto or Manual Sync?
Currently I have one active account in Outlook that is displaying my MSN account that was IMAP'd through izymail.com. All of my sync modes are set to manual so that I can control what and when my sync occurs. All of my boxes are checked in the second tab to sync to the outlook account that I have established. If this does not help then please answer the questions above so that I or someone else can assist you further.
Good Luck

Notes: does the iPhone back up Notes during synch?

Does the iPhone back up the Notes during Synch? I can't see any notes on iTunes. Is there a way to see the Notes on the computer? I would like to keep track of my Notes; or some sort of text file/database with secure back up.

Yes. "Backup information includes information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store." http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
