New Windows Devices app doesn't show my local iphone backups

With iTunes, I could see under Preferences all my devices and the backups I took on my windows PC. I can't find this with the Devices app and it no longer appears on iTunes. Did Apple take this away?

Windows, Windows 10

Apple Devices app on Windows fails to find my Apple device backups I have backed up my iPhone on my Windows machine. When I launch the Apple Devices app, it says that the iPhone has never been backed up and the "Manage backups" button is grayed out. Yet the iMazing app shows that the backups are there. Backups via Apple Devices used to work. It is probably worth noting that C:\Users\\Apple\MobileSync\Backup is a junction link to a folder on another device (with much more space than C:). However, Windows Explorer has no trouble navigating to that folder. Moreover, if I back up the phone manually using Apple Devices, the backup appears to work fine, in the sense that it takes time, and it writes files into the folder that is a target of that junction link. It is just a matter of Apple Devices failing to report that any backups exist for this iPhone.

Can't find olf backups of Iphone after switching to Apple Devices on PC I have just installed Apple Devices, at the same time I need to restore my iphone from a backup however when I open Apple Devices on my Win 11 machine, I can't see the old backups as an option under Manage Backups. I can see the backups still exist on the machine when I search for the folders, but I can't access them in Apple Devices to restore from - how do I get this to work?

Finding iPhone backups in mac os Ventura Hi everyone, I'm on my new mac and looking for my iPhone backups. I am used to finding them in iTunes on the old MacBook. I read an article that shows them in Finder under locations but they are not appearing there. When I go into Settings-> general -> storage , iOS files appears and when I click on it all my devices appear but I am unable to click on them and view any more info like when they used to open on iTunes. Any ideas? Thank you!
