Hello guys, welcome back to tenorshare channel.
In today’s video we’ll talk about iPhone backup location.
Here on my iPhone, got some photos here.
And here is music.
And also my contacts are listed here on my phone.
So usually, when people want to backup their iPhone.
They turn to iCloud.
That’s a good choice.
You don’t need to use a computer for backup.
This is the pro but the cons are also obvious.
Cause usually 5 gigabytes storage is fairly not enough for a normal user to backup their
iPhone.
So you need to pay to Apple for more space.
So comparing using iCloud, still lots of users will turn to iTunes to backup their iPhone.
Which is a totally free method and no space limited.
Wait, did I just say no limited.
Hell no, even you tried to use iTunes to backup.
You may still find out that your computer storage is not enough for a backup.
Is it possible to find the exact location of iTunes backup.
And even is it possible to change the iTunes backup location?
In this video, you will find the answer.
Let’s dive in now.
For most people they downloaded iTunes from Apple website, their iTunes backup location
is as listed.
And if your iTunes is downloaded from Microsoft Store.
Then the location should be like this.
But both of them are based on your C drive.
So it’s quite normal to see people complain about no space on C drive cuz it really stores
too much things.
So let’s take the former one to see how can we find the exact iTunes backup location.
So we enter C drive, then users, go and find your own user name.
Here my username is administrator, so we click on this folder.
Okay so you may find out there’s no folder called App data.
So we need to change to the view option, and check the box in front of hidden items.
Yah, it’s a hidden folder.
So now we can see the App Data folder.
Click on it.
And then roaming.
Then Apple computer.
And, mobile sync.
Alright, here’s backup folder.
In this folder, you’ll find all your Apple device backup listed.
So this folder may quite big usually.
It depends on how big your device backup is.
So you may wondering is it possible to change the default iTunes backup location.
The answer is yes.
But, it’s really complicated for most users to change that.
