Transferring iPhone backup from PC to Mac - will this work?

Hi,


I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am almost done with transferring everything from my PC to my Mac after a long full day and a half of backing up, reformatting external hard drives etc.


I have read to transfer an iPhone backup from PC to Mac you need to do the following:


If you are a Windows user, open the Start menu, click on "Computer" and then navigate to the "C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" directory.


And then:


Click on the "Finder" icon and navigate to the "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup" folder on the Mac.


I did the first step just fine, but when I tried to find the folder on the Mac by both manual navigation and then a spotlight search, it wasn't found, so I went into the Library/Application Support and then created a new folder with the name MobileSync and a subfolder 'Backup' within that. Will this work?


If not, could someone please help me on how to get my iPhone backup onto the Mac.


Thankyou!

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
