Hi,

My friend backed up his iPhone to my computer, and when I go to the link "Restore from Backup" I see his backup listed there as well as my backup too.

I'm pretty sure Itunes saves backups to the following location, and I can definitely see some backups listed in that directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\[USERNAME]\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

However, all the backup files seem to be saved with a *.mddata extension.

Does anyone know if there is a 3rd party software that can extract these backup files to a hard drive folder that can be accessed??

I want to me able to access his *.mp3 songs that were also saved in his backup.

Thank you,

olimits7

iTunes does NOT include the music files stored on the iPhone into its backup.
End of story. :D

Sorry dude, you can't pirate his music that way.
