get geo coordinates from iphone iOS 5.1.1; iphonels.py error-- 'Manifest.mbdx' is missing in backup folder

866 views Asked by At

This is a newb post, just fyi.

I'm trying to get location data off of my iphone for an art project. I did a backup of my iphone and am trying to get geo coordinates from the data stored in the local copy of the backup (located in ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/folder. Here's what I've tried:

  1. Downloaded iPhone Tracker from http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/#faq, but when I compile and run the xcode project, I get an error that 'consolidated.db' is missing (presumably from the backup folder? I don't think I missed anything, but is there a way to generate this db file without #2 below?)

  2. Downloaded and ran iphonels.py (converts file names in Backup folder to readable strings?) from the terminal, but I got the following error: IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Manifest.mbdx'

I think the problem is related to #2, that iOS 5.1 no longer includes Manifest.mbdx in the backup folders. It sounds like I need to edit iphonels.py with a workaround that doesn't require this file?

Or maybe there's another way to identify which file is the database of lat and longitude points? This question seems like it could be related, but I'm not really sure.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
