Hello,
I'm trying to work by this guide:
What to do before you install iOS beta - Apple Support
But step 5 does not work for me, I can not open the menu.
Windows 8.1 , latest version of iTunes.
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.4, null
I have same problem. iOS 8.4 on iPhone 5S. Windows 8.1 Professional 64bit. iTunes 12.2.0.145 64 bit.
PS: I should have said I got to Dialog Box using Edit, Preferences on the menu and the selected Devices in the preferences dialog box. Control Click (or right click) does not give option to archive backup.
Same here. IPhone 6+, iOS 8.4, iTunes 12.2.0.145, Windows 8
Having the same issue, iPhone 6 iOS 8.4 Windows 7
Its not possible on windows.
So rename the backup folder to backup.arc or what ever
This should help
Want to Archive iPhone Backups in iTunes
Where is the backup?
Windows Vista or Windows 7/8.1:
\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Replace USERNAME with your personal account name.
You can also skip a bunch of clicking (and trying to remember your actual username if you have windows set to display your "full name" at login instead) by using %AppData% in the file browser, instead of everything up to and including Roaming, as in:
%AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
So the purpose of renaming the "backup" folder is so that iTunes wont see it now and thus not touch the data in there? thanks
So the instructions for the beta regarding backups are pretty useless. Yeah I get that copying the folder then, if things hose themselves, copying it back makes sense, but why include the "ctrl-click" the backup and not specify that it's for Mac only?
Come on Apple, you're better than that.
