how do i back up a recipe app into itunes

You can not actually see the data files in the backup. You just have to trust that the files are there. However, if the app supports file sharing. You can transfer the actual files to a computer using iTunes.

About File Sharing on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

What is the app called? I will take a look to see, but you should be able to see that in app description in the App Store.

If this is the app, according to the description, it does indeed support file sharing. I use File Sharing with a number of apps. Even apps that are supported in iCloud, I still save files to my Mac via file sharing.

YEs that is the app. I see where the app sharing is located and the app is on the left so I looked on the right and there is an item listed with a date but there is nothing in it.

I Then went to my back up my Mac and I find where my back up is listed but it is locked and I do not know how to unlock it therefore can not retrieve the contemts.

i Had 147 recipes originally in this app and lost them all appearently when it updated to the next version.

i Am now reloading the app but want to make sure they are backed up.
