I spent hours trying to reduce my iPhone memory to do a computer backup on a C drive that was not big enough. I even explored options to repartition my hard disk to increase C drive memory, which proved to be costly. This solved the problem in a surprisingly easy manner. Simple yet specific instructions were extremely useful. You only need to invest 10 minutes of your time. I wish I had found this video sooner! Thank you!
@@Grassp.o If we will transfer the file to a new folder like as you showed in the video so can we open those files from there to have a look as if they are done or not ??
i havent seen any video in UA-cam like this EVER , on point and on total detail, no extra words,no extra music nothing, PURE QUALITY , PURE GEM .U EARNED A SUB
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen in my whole life of living. Even the description of the video contains explanations + time stamps.. Like how can this be so simple yet very detailed and informative and it's all done in under 10 minutes!! Thank you so much!!!
@@Grassp.o Hi, really impressive content, however there is one issue if you can create or let us know regarding how to sync the songs from windows 11 pc to iPhone, have tried multiple times but couldn't done it... Including how do we take iPhone backup on window pc? Thank you Ravi
sir i would like to thank you and every Indian, Sri Lankan, Fijian, hindi IT brothers all around the world. thank you for your smarts and your time sharing. we very much appreciate you guys. also as some one with adhd. this was so simple yet frustrating to do. and took me 3 hrs for goodness sakes. almost punched my screen off and threw my laptop over the balcony. in the end after a big stretch and break. we got it working. so thnak you again brother.
SIMPLY PRECIOUS! Thank you! Just another 2 questions: 1) Once we did this setting is made, all the future iPhone's backpas will be automatichally saved on the external drive? 2) how do I restore all content on iPhone from that backup which is now on the external drive? THANK YOU AGAIN!
Thank you!!! I have been frustrated with laptop storage for months. When I found out my APPLE DEVICES is consuming such large space and I thought there is nothing I can do about it. Luckily I see your tutorial and save a lot of space.
Hey Grasspo. What about the backup recovery for the phone? Just click restore this back up on itunes and it takes it automatically from the new location?
I really want to thank you for making this so easy, I was reading tutorials online and it was not clicking for me, but watching you helped me get this figured out, I had to do some tweaking with the steps because I’m still running Windows 8.1, the main reason I needed to move the Apple files is because I’m trying to free up space to upgrade to 10. I can’t thank you enough, I was so happy it worked and how easy it was! Definitely subscribed to you now
Best video really helpful for me i just contacted multiple times no solution after watching this issue resolved keep it up bro and make videos which ia really helpful
What a great instructional video!! Clear, detailed, and concise. After spending hours trying to find a solution, your video is the best! Thank you so much.
Informative stuff! Well now this means when I'll be backing up my phone thru iTunes it'll be directly backed up to E drive okay... And one of more query will I be able to restoe the iPhone from this same E drive location?
One of the best explanations for ppl like me who will never get computers unless explained like a 6year old,a couple of questions that might be silly, 1) we can disconnect the external hard drive after the backup is done,and when we want ti back up again just need to reconnect it right? 2)when we need to restore our phone incase we lose it and get a new one,would the process be the same as before or are there any new steps?
Wow it worked very well. I had been looking for this kind of video. Well explained. I have 560 Gb of photos and data. I am hoping restore will work same way. I have not tried yet. Very impress with your video. Job well done.
This was a great video!! Just to clarify, once I back up my device to this new location, when it’s time to restore from my last backup, it’ll still work?
Super easy great job, but i have question, next when i need to do a backup if I transfer the backups to external device i have to connect it first than do the backup ? and it will automatically located in the new location ?
Hello. I know my happiness is not your responsibility. ha! Would you please look at the Shell entry below... and see if you notice something wrong? I have been going in circles for hours. Everyone here says how easy this is.... but it's not working for me and I don't know why. Here's what I see on my blue Shell screen AFTER I attempt to create the junction to change my Itunes backup folder to an external drive. Could it be as simple as spaces between words that's not correct? I am baffled and very frustrated. You will see below that I do NOT see a "junction created" message on my screen. But I also see no indication of errors? So bizarre. Thank you in advance if you can help.

OMG! You are such a genius! Thanks for this man! Now next time I update my IOS, it can back up on its own and not make my C Drive full! You made me subscribe, congratulations!
Awesome bro., i am not a computer science guy., however just tried followed your instruction and got it in first shot., really lovely and simplified explained., keep it up. Appreciated.
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly (My "Apple" folder was hidden so I had to search it, as I could not find it simply in the "user" folder) Nonetheless once the folder was found, following the steps exactly as described in the video created the link to transfer the files. There should be by default some easier way via iTunes to simply change backup location folder, but until that happens (or if it does exist and I haven't found it) this was a great alternative solution😁
I just tried following all your relocation backup steps and it's finally successful. Thank you so much for sharing this helpful tip, I really appreciate it. According to this process, is there any trouble if I want to restore all the backup files from the new location to my iPhone later, may I ask?
Thank you so much i have been struggling with this for months now. And finally i could do it all thanks to you ur video was very specific, detailed and easy t understand. Thank you so so much.

I was screwed last 7 days, my phone wouldn’t restore backup. A simple thing that you require space twice the size of your backup for restoring is not mentioned anywhere by Apple. As my C drive did not have enough empty space for restoring the iPhone i had to shift it to D driver and got my job done immediately. Thanks for this easy and beautiful video.
Thank you so much for this work on 2 different computers. Out of curiosity...what if we wanted to change the directory after doing this? What would be the steps?
oqww çok teşekkür ederim bir sürü video izlemiştim ama hiç yapamamıştım türk olmama rağmen aşırı net bir şekilde anladım sizin videonuzdan harikasınız😍😍😍💘💘💘💘
Can we just uninstall iTunes and reinstall it on the other drive (assuming it’s an internal PC drive / not an external hard drive)? And then just copy and paste the backups?
I agree with the positive feedback provided earlier. However, it seems that the current procedure is directing both current and future backups to the E or external drive. To free up more disk space, it might be more effective to also move the old backup files to the E or external drive and configure future backups to be saved there as well. From what I observed towards the end, it appeared that old backup files on the C drive were being cut and pasted into a backup folder on the same drive, rather than being transferred to the external drive. If I’m mistaken, please correct me.
