  • Using Windows 7...where is the iPhone Backup File Location?

    K...Im trying to burn a CD of the Data have for my iPhone 3GS so next time I restore from a different computer i can always have my files with me...where do i find it?

    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.

  • In Lion 10.7.4, where are the iPhone backups?

    Before Lion 10.7.4, iPhone backups were usefully to be located in User/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.
    This was handy because it meant that by copying the files you could use more than one computer to access the iPhone(s).
    In 10.7.4, the Backup dossier is still there (when you actually manage to access the now hidden User/Library, for which purpose, by the way, the following thread is a great help: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18386812#18386812), but it is now empty.
    iTunes still recognises synchronized iPhones, so the file is somewhere around…
    Does anyone happen to know where it has been put?
    (I did think of using Time Machine to restore the backups to this pre 10.7.4 location, but decided not to in case that created a glitch.)
    Thanks for any help

    Your computer is probably set to NOT show hidden files, I know on my PC which has Vista, I need to go into Tools menu/folder options/click on the view tab, you need to look down the list that will have appeared in the little window for SHOW HIDDEN FILES & NAMES, see the picture in the below link. You need to change this to show hidden files etc and you then should be able to see this folder.

  • 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)

  • Where are the iPhone backups stored?

    I am completely reformatting my aging iMac in order to clean the years worth of stale data... However, although the applications can all be re-installed, I need to be sure I save all my iTunes info. I have saved off all of the folders contained within the Music->iTunes folder, but does this contain the backups somewhere for our iPhones and iPod touches?
    Also, I am assuming then as long as I save off the apps contained within 'Mobile Applications' and 'iPod games' I can just re-import those when I have the system refreshed and ready to go?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Where is the iPhone backup file saved at?

    I wanted to archive it. I tried looking everywhere. I am using Windows Vista by the way (not sure if the location changes on PC and Mac).

    C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\AppleComputer\MobileSync\Backup
    You may need to enable viewing of hidden files.

  • Where are the iPhone backup files stored on a PC?

    I recently downloaded the new iOS software to my phone....when I went to restore from my last backup -- my computer shut down half way through and everytime I've tried since, it won't work.  I think my home computer has a virus that is causing this so I was hoping I could copy the backup file and load it into my iTunes on my work computer and restore my phone at work?  Any idea how to do that or if it will work?  I had over 1,000 pictures and videos that I really don't want to lose....(yes yes I know I learned my lesson to download them....but they are of my kids and I really don't want to lose them!)

    The backup files are in the same place on windows 8, but the folder is hidden by default.  You can view it by pressing Windows + R, then pasting in "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\USERS\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup"
    Or you can tell Windows to show hidden files and folders.  In Explorer go to View menu -> Options button -> View tab and then check "Show hidden files, folders and drives".  Then you can browse to the folder as normal.  This will make all hidden files and folders visible, but you can set the option back if you don't like it.
    I hope that helps!

    <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.
