Where are the backup iPhone files located in Windows and Mac? Is it possible to transfer the backup file(s) from Windows to Mac, vice versa?
 
(for Mac) They're in: "~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"

Not sure about moving them to Windows iTunes, though.

I dont see them in that folder. I dont have a "MobileSync" folder.
 
(file location for windows [vista]: c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\roaming\applecomputer\mobilesync\backup\

IF YOU CAN NOT FIND \APPDATA YOU MUST DISABLE HIDDEN FOLDERS!

you can do this through CONTROL PANEL -> FOLDER OPTIONS -> VIEW

This caused too many frustrations for me!
