Where do iTunes backup files reside?

Yeah, it doesn't exist. :/

This link has just about everything you need to know about iOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) backups:

Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes - Apple Support

FYI. Here is how you get to any folder that exists on your mac:

1) Click on any open area of the desktop, which will bring up the "Finder" menu at the very top left of the screen

2) In the "Finder" menu, select "Go"

3) In the drop-down menu select "Go to Folder..."

4) In the pop-up there will be a "Go to the folder:" text box

5) Type the folder path you are trying to get to, ie.

~/Library

NOTE: This will open the "Library" folder for the current user. Remember the squiggly / tilde character (~), which is short for: /users/[Current User Name]

6) Now click the "Go" button

NOTE: If you entered a folder path that does not exist, a message just below the text box will tell you: "The folder can't be found."

with the same info I posted on the previous page...

Maybe somebody will need the following (For Mac):

You cannot see the folder "Library" because your laptop has put this in invisible mode.

You can setting it up.

1. Open "Finder Window"

2. Open "Show View Options" (command+j)

3. Select "Show Library Folder"

4. The folder will be in your user folder.

Blessings!
