How to import an iTunes or Finder backup

Install the app on your computer. On first launch it asks where the local archive should live — pick a folder on a drive with enough free space.

On the Dashboard, click the "Import iPhone Backup" card. This reads a backup you already have on disk — no cable and no new backup needed.

iTunes and Finder keep backups under a MobileSync/Backup folder. Inside it, each backup sits in its own subfolder named with a long device ID — 40 characters (64 on newer devices) of digits and letters A to F. Select that device-ID subfolder, not the Backup folder itself, or the import cannot start.

Once the folder is correct, the app shows the backup details — the phone name, the backup date and more. Confirm it is the backup you want, then click "Start Import".

Some backups are protected with a password. When the folder you selected is an encrypted backup, the button reads "Password required" instead of "Start Import". Click it, type the backup password in the dialog and choose "Unlock and Import" — a forgotten password cannot be recovered. Once the backup is unlocked, the rest of the import runs exactly as described in the remaining steps.

Memora Keep parses the backup module by module — contacts, messages, call history, photos, videos, notes, WhatsApp and more — and shows the progress as it goes. The original backup is never modified.

The success screen summarizes what was imported. If anything was skipped, the reason is shown here.

Open the Archives page to read everything the import brought in — chats, photos, contacts and call history are browsable right away. Large photo libraries build their thumbnails as you open them.
