I highly recommend Menial's Base app to read the ".db" SQLite files that the iPhone Backup Extractor creates.

The current version works with iTunes 9.2 and iOS 4.0 or lower. Snow Leopard is supported.

The backup encryption option must be off (and must have been off when the backups were made). I have no plans to support encrypted backups.

What does it do?

This application converts the iPhone / iPod Touch backups that are created by iTunes into readily usable Mac OS X files. It is designed to run on "Leopard" Mac OS X 10.5 upwards.

What's it used for?

• Extracting application resources for developers to help them investigate bugs.
• Exploring files that are created by third party applications using Finder.
• Decoding the SQLite database files that are stored on the iPhone / iPod Touch, such as Call History, SMS messages, and Notes.
