Would itunes save the files on the iphone when you restore it?

How can I use my 'back up' files to restore my iPhone?

  • Hello all, I've done some research online and couldn't find a more specific answer. Earlier today, I upgraded my iPhone's software and during the upgrade I lost all my data stored on my phone. Through searching online I found that my back up files are stored on my computer. (/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup) But the problem is I can't figure out how to access them. I know I have to right-click the back up folder and choose which back up file to restore, Open iTunes with my iPhone connected and choose 'restore from back up' but none of my back up folders are showing up. How can I use one of my back up files to restore my iPhones contacts, notes and text messages? I'm on Windows 7 iPhone 3g Is there any way to get ANY data back? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
