I backed up my iPhone using iTunes, the backup location supposed to be:
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
But when I go to Application Support I could not find the folder "MobileSync", where supposed to be then?
Thanks in advance

That is indeed the correct location for iPhone backups.
Make sure you're in the correct Library…
click onto the Finder, then
Cmd ⌘ N for New Window
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ including the tilde ~BTW, if you encrypt your backups to preserve login data, passwords etc, then there's nothing human-readable in that folder

I got only a folder named "acd21eeaa63785158359bd9e35cb3529feeef03c" and there is nothing inside – Abu Rayane – 2015-04-09T15:15:53.980
It should contain your last backup - if encrypted that will be hundreds if not thousands of items with equally incomprehensible names. I'd be tempted to do another backup & see what happens – Tetsujin – 2015-04-09T15:18:52.350
oh yeah I found it, if encrypted, how can I open them? – Abu Rayane – 2015-04-09T15:24:00.650
Maybe something like http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/42433/ibackup-viewer [untested] freeware & $50 versions

So how can I backup and should not be encrypted? – Abu Rayane – 2015-04-11T15:12:39.220
The backups are not meant to be picked apart, they're meant for total restoration in case of disaster. You can do it if they're not encrypted, but you're still not really meant to. Also non-encrypted backups contain no passwords or other secure data, so after a restoration you need to re-enter all that kind of data. – Tetsujin – 2015-04-11T15:29:47.937
