Where can I find my iPhone's backup?

Are you sure ALL of the files have a date of 10/3? There are usually several thousand, and the backup is incremental, meaning only content that is changed is copied to the backup.

Are you using iTunes 11? I think this is a new feature. And it's also possible it is only supported on a Mac.

Yes, you can save the backup to another location on your drive. Or you can just rename the backup folder to, say, backup.sav.

You're right -- I hadn't scrolled down far enough to see the newer files dated today. And I am using iTunes 11, but it's on a PC, not a Mac, so maybe the Archive feature is just for Mac. I copied the folder to an external drive, so hopefully that will be okay. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the right thread, but the clever people seem to be on here so I thought I'd ask.

I keep lots of important information on my notes on my iphone and today I deleted half of them by accident.

Is there any way of just viewing whats on my backup on my mac, without fulling restoring it - if i restore my iphone, i'll get old notes back, but will also wipe other stuff (photos, texts etc). I know this as I have done it before!!

Thanks!

Get one of the many iPhone backup extractor programs available for Mac. There are several free ones, such as iScavange.

Which version of iTunes are you using? Right-click does nothing for me…

EDIT: nevermind I see what you meant now.

Hi, I recently updated my OS to 8 and found that i have lost most of my camera rolls pictures. Later i updated to IOS 8.0.2 and found that still the photos were missing. I had taken backup of my phone on PC but due to lack of space availability on c drive i deleted my older vrsion of back up which was 18 GB file thinking that i still have the latest backup file available.

Later it came to my knowledge that itunes does not ovrwrited the backup but only backs up the recently made changes to the iphone.

I have iphone 5s -64GB, please help what can i do to get my media back most importantly pictures 😟😟

Please helpp

First of all, you should know that the data in your iPhone can only be seen but you have no access to them.

Many iPhone users are very care about the security of their iPhone data, so do I. I used to connect my iPhone to computer and synced the data to computer at the same time. Once I want to recover my data of iPhone, I will use the iPhone backup extractor to export my data to iPhone again, it does a lot of good to my iPhone data.

You don't lose anything if you back up your phone before upgrading. I made 3 backups; one to iCloud and two to my computer. The way to keep multiple backups is to go to iTunes Preferences -> Devices, right click on the most recent backup, and choose "Archive". The next backup will be a full backup, and you will have both available.
If you back up over the air you also will not lose anything unless something goes wrong in the upgrade process, but then you have your backups to restore from.

For anyone looking to easily locate the folder in which the Itunes backup of your Iphone or Ipad is saved, go to preferences, Devices and then right click the backup in question. Then press Show In Finder.

Do u recommend a specific app as an extractor?
