Where does iTunes save my camera roll on my PC?

Where backups are stored

The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.

iTunes places the backup files in the following places:

• Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
• Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
• Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7)."

Camera roll pics are backed up with the normal backup that itunes makes when syncing. These pics are not viewable and are not meant to be. They are a data backup for iphone.

The pics are not saved/synced to your computer. You should be importing them regularly as you would from any digital camera:

You should always have a backup of your computer. Import your pics to your computer then include them in your backup of your computer.

The good old regular Microsoft tax even after paying for antivirus "protection" every year.

This link provides the data included with your iPhone's backup along with the location of the backup. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with the backup.

Although included with the backup, photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.

I would import these photos with your computer and include the imported photos with your computer's backup along with all other important data.

I plug my iPhone in then import the photos in Lightroom to my digital photo library. That way I have them there and can tag, rank them just like all other photos. I also have a backup in case anything happens.

sorry Allan, but i couldn't find the actual location (w/in the OS) of the backup anywhere on your link. unless i missed it, or it showed a Mac location (rather than a Microsoft OS). 'however, the post by roaminggnome' nailed it! IMHO, that's exactly what the poster was looking for (as well as myself)... ;-)

thanx RoamingGnome!!! d-(^^,)

Just out of curiosity, did you check the photos tab in iTunes for your device. You may have auto Syncing turned on with your "my pictures" photo library of your computer. If so, you need to turn this off so that it doesn't automatically sync and download all of your pictures on your computer's hard drive to your new iphone.

Under normal Syncing conditions, a new device should be recognized as needing a new Sync backup file. The auto Sync setting simply Sync's up pictures with whatever is in your computer library.

Hello everwhere!

I had this problem, but I found the solution using this software : iPhone backup extractor.

Good luck!

I had this problem until I followed your advise ktobah and downloaded iPhone backup extractor, problem solved!

You're a legend ktobah. Thank-you

Much better than a 60 hour backup to icloud too 🙂

Kirksta, glad to help you, and I'm not a legend lol

You missed it since the location is included with the same link roaminggnome and I provided.
