iPhone back up

Hello! I tried to back up my iPhone 4s using the steps above. I was able to do it successfully, only now I can't find my back up in the "Application support" folder. Can anyone help?

Not sure if you are saying that you have zero files located in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ or if you are saying you cannot find that location on your Mac computer?

If you did find that location and there a number of strange looking file & folder names there, note that the backup is stored in a series of files that are not meant to be accessed directly. They are stored in a format that is only useable for restoring to an iOS device. There are however some 3rd party utilities that can make them somewhat usable for other purposes.
