April 3 rd , I plan to buy an iPhone 6S Plus from a client, but they want me to transfer all their data to their old 5C. I backed it up in iTunes, then plugged in the 5C, but the 6s backup is nowhere to be seen from the drop down list!
Hi guys, thanks for commenting. This one's an old chestnut: it's caused by one of the phones running a different version of iOS to the backup. Upgrade one or other so that they're running the same version, then update the backup.
That'll sort it out! October 5 th , First of all; Thanks for the easy and helpful steps to get this far in the process. I am just curious as I am copying my backup off of my pc if it just as simple as me copying this backup off of my non internet accessible pc onto a hard drive, then I can drag and drop into the list of backups on the new Mac.
I am trying to restore my old backup onto my new iPhone six, but my pc has lost ability to connect to the Internet, so I can't download the new iTunes update to be able to work with my iPhone six. Thanks for writing. Yes, it really is that easy. April 11 th , You have confirmed to me the preposterous nature of the iPad backup system. Why can't they use files like windows? They use this format partly to make it straightforward and fast!
It works pretty well in most cases! Perform an automatic backup search with CopyTrans Backup Extractor , as described above. You will see a list of all available backups: choose the one you need. If you are extracting data from an iTunes backup, you may be asked for a backup password. What password? Choose the type of data you need, then select the destination folder. Wait while all the data is being unloaded to your PC.
Once the extraction is finished, you can view the contents of your iPhone backup in the chosen PC folder. CopyTrans Backup Extractor can extract:. The symlink is a new path for iTunes to get to the backups folder. You need to use the Windows Command Prompt to perform the finagling. Step 1. Step 2. Create a new directory wherever you want iTunes to store all your backups from now on.
Step 4. Compared with the steps of the two methods, the latter is easier. Note : Once you change the location, you can't restore your iPhone with the relocated backup unless moving it back to its default location. Step 1. Open the iTunes backup location by using methods offered in Part 1.
You'll then see a folder labeled "Backup" - the default location that contains your iPhone backups. Press the F2 key on your keyboard to rename the "Backup" folder to a different name like Backup.
Hold down the "Shift" key and right-click a blank area within File Explore to open the context menu. Step 4. Step 6. Press the "Enter" key to execute the command. After everything has been done, you'll see a new folder named Backup appears within the MobileSync folder. Quite frankly, we don't recommend you to change the default iPhone backup location on your computer because any improper operations you do or changes you made during the process may ruin your backup files.
