iPhone Back ups on Mac.

[kmpoboy2]

Any of you guys have any idea where does iTunes stores the back ups for the iPhone?

I've been searching with spotlight and finder and I can not find them on the HD. If any of you can give me a light on where are they i'll appreciate.

BTW, Can the back ups be store on a External HD separetly from iTunesto be later moved to a new HD?

What Mac OS version are you on?

Lion
Snow Leopard
Leopard

The Path is:

Macintosh HD> Users> (user name)> Library> Application Support> Mobile Sync> Backup

but in Lion, Apple had hidden the Library folder, so you will be to go into terminal and type in "chflags nohidden ~/Library" (without quotes) and press enter.

Oh yeah! forgot about that.

Thanks man!, i've been trying to find them since sat. I should be able to move them to Lion without the need of time machine right.

The file will still be there when you go to Lion, it will just be hidden/invisible.
