Hi, I have located all the files from my iphone back up, but the phone has died and apple store not able to get it sorted either. Is there a way that I can view and save the photos from the back up files on my PC?
None of the files will open.
iPhone 8, iOS 14
Hi Alex, appreciate the reply, but it wasn't the most helpful of answers as I don't have another i-phone, so I have purchased iMazing software instead, was well worth the money (£30) compared to cost of trying to get another i-phone and it worked absolutely perfectly, organised all my phone content exactly as I would see it on my phone and one click allowed me to transfer all my photos to my PC.

I am glad that you have backup files from your iPhone that is no longer functioning. The only thing is that you are not going to be able to pick and choose what you can recover from the backup file. Restoration from the backup file uses the ALL or NOTHING approach. In other words, you will have to restore an iPhone from that backup and then export the photos from that restored iPhone to a computer. Having iCloud for Photos makes things even simpler.

I will make a note of that. I have read up on that software and agree with you that you had picked a better option that what I had provided. Looks like you were able to extract the content that you wanted from the backup file that you had created on your computer.
