Move iTunes Moblie Sync location

  1. Close iTunes
  2. Download junction.exe from Microsoft and in Windows 7, place it in the C:\Windows folder. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx
  3. Remove the folder "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync" and all sub folders. (so there is no MobileSync folder anymore)
  4. Create a new forder structure on an other drive for example: "D:\Backup\MobileSync"
  5. In Windows 7, open a command promt as an administrator. Now execute the following line....
  6. junction.exe C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\AppleC~1\MobileSync "D:\Backup\MobileSync" -s
  7. The command will have created an folder (looking like a shortcut) in the origional location on the C:\ drive.
  8. Now connect your Apple device of choice and watch the folder "D:\Backup\MobileSync" get filled up with stuff.
Code I used:

D:\>junction "C:\Users\[usersName]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync" "D:\Backup\MobileSync" -s
