   Frank,   
      
   Please don't be bamboozled by the deceitful Apple troll's lies.   
      
   I do have iOS devices, Frank. Plenty. And I know how iTunes works.   
   So does Jolly Roger. He's lying.   
      
   C'mon Jolly Roger. Tell us that you installed the current Windows iTunes   
   12.13.7.1 and then you did a full backup & you were able to save the IPA.   
      
   I could stop there to see the lies that unprepossessing troll spews...   
      
   But suffice to save time for everyone to say the M$ iTunes backup is here:   
    C:\Users\JR\Apple\MobileSync\Backup   
   Or here, if you installed the current latest iTunes from Apple:   
    C:\Users\JR\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup   
      
   FACT:   
   It does NOT contain the IPA.   
   Anyone who says it does, as Jolly Roger implied, is a duplicitous liar.   
      
   Since most people on this newsgroup are not aware these Apple trolls like   
   Jolly Roger are deceitful liars, ask Jolly Roger how old his iTunes is.   
      
   HINT: Windows iTunes hasn't saved an IPA since the 12.7 version in 2017.
