Dear All,
I got some serious problem here, I just sync my iphone 3G and was trying to upgrade to OS4, I remember ITunes ask me wether I want to replace or merge my contact, I choose replace. End up all my contact were gone...
Does any sifu out there know where to get the contact back??
Thanks in ADVANCE..
iPhone Backup Location for Windows 7, XP, and VistaWindows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Obviously if your main drive is not C: then you’ll have to change that, same goes for ‘user’.
iPhone Backup notesThere’s various reasons you’d need (or want) access to the iPhone Backup files, but generally speaking you should be able to rely on iTunes to handle all your iPhone restoration and backup needs. If you’re interested in keeping your own backup copies though, say for Jailbreaking purposes, knowing the location of the iPhone backup is handy.
You’ll notice that the files in the directory are almost all unusual and randomized names, like ffb541c48e97051fff2b1f906577cbef71123c4fb.mdbackup, these are all automatically generated. There’s also a few xml files in the directory that have unique identifier information about your iPhone.
This probably goes without saying, but unless you know what you’re doing you should NOT edit any of these iPhone backup files! Editing or deleting any of these files could result in improper, malformed, or otherwise unreliable backups, and any other number of problems with your iPhone.
If you’re looking for a way to access your iPhone files through some kind of browser application rather than the Finder or Windows Explorer, you could try some of the apps out there, but many of them are poorly made in my experience.
