Where does an iPhone backup to your computer go?

When I plug my iPhone in it won't show up under my devices but it shows up in iTunes… I'm trying to take pictures and put them on my computer so I can clear up storage room on my phone. I backed up my whole iphone to my computer because my iCloud is full but now I can't find where it backed up to.

What kind of Laptop do you have?
Windows 7-8?
If so i can probably help you out.

  • When you sync your iphone to your computer does it copy everything onto your pc? I have broke my iphone to the point where it is un repairable, i only sync my iphone the other day to my pc does this mean everything what was on my iphone was copied and saved to it? Or have i lost everything?
  • Is there anyway to undo the backup restore that itunes does for your Iphone? I got a new iPhone 4s under warranty after my old was damaged. I started fresh and started to input numbers myself as well as apps. I just plugged it into iTunes and now all of my old stuff is back on my new phone. Contacts, pictures, etc. Is there anyway that I can undo the backup restore iTunes did to my phone and go back to how I had it before I plugged it up?
  • Is there a way(without computer)to move my texts from my iPad to my IPhone? ICloud backup? Had to restore phone to last backup and lost texts? Hi, yesterday I had to reset my phone (IPhone 8 plus) to factory default and restore it to its last backup (April 15th). I also have an iPad mini, which everything is Synced. I got everything back on my phone (up to date) except my text messages. I'm not able to access my computer right now and have read you can get them back my backing up you messages to ICloud. Is there anything I can do to get them back on my phone (they are still on my iPad mini), without using my Mac?
  • Does iCloud Backup Take up more space then iTunes backup? When I backup my iphone on iCloud it takes up 4.7GB of iCloud Storage. When I backup my iphone on my mac with iTunes it only takes up 2.3Gb Apple webstie says itunes backup will backup your phone exactly as it is and that iCloud only backs up important information. So why does backing my iphone take 4.7GB of iCloud space but backing up my iphone with itunes takes up only 2.3gb of space on my mac?
