where are the iPhone to iTunes synchronization / sync logs now stored.

I am running iOS 13.x on Windows 10 and use the Microsoft Store version of iTunes to sync. my iphone directly to my computer.

In the "old" days the sync. logs were here:

%APPDATA%\Apple Computer\Logs\CrashReporter\MobileDevice\<DEVICE_NAME>

but the Apple Computer folder is now empty on my machine.

Can someone tell me where the log files are now stored?

THANKS in advance!

iPhone 6s, iOS 13

Has the iTunes backup location or workflow changed? I had a strange issue today when I wanted to create a new backup of my iPhone on a new laptop. On the old laptop the backup location could be actually found in "C:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\" as described in [1]. But apparently some things have changed, although the backup was successful there's no such folder "MobileSync". I see only these 5 folders: iTunes Logs Preferences SyncNotifier SyncServices And the only folder containing a significant amount of data is "iTunes" with the downloaded iOS 14.3 update with a size of 4.23 GB (I wanted to update it via iTunes). However, the iPhone recovery worked well because the update had failed and I actually had to restore it. This went a little different than before, I believe. After the OS had been restored all the apps seemed to be downloaded again, none of them were on the phone. Is that true? And if the folders "MobileSync\Backup" don't exist anymore is it sufficient to just backup the folder "...\Roaming\AppleComputer" in order to have a working backup of my computer's hard drive? Any pointers are highly appreciated. [1] https://support.apple.com/de-de/HT204215

iPhone sync progress in iOS Catalina How can I see the progress of the iPhone sync when connected to computer via usb? Prior to updating my iOS to Catalina, iTunes would show me “step 1.. step 2.. backing up phone step 3..” and so on. No I can’t see how far along the sync is.

Advanced iTunes question When you sync your iPhone to your computer, is all data transferred safely to the backup folder, or does some data, for instance contacts or passwords, get left in other folders and parts of computer. I’m thinking about selling my computer but have these concerns.
