iPhone Backup Extractor is a sort of data recovery tool. It allows you to make use of backup files that iTunes creates on your Mac to restore data from them. Thus, you can use this application to recover your photos, if your phone has crashed, for example. It can also be used to recover notes, contacts, call lists, SMS history, and your calendars. iPhone Backup Extractor uses a wizard to guide you through the 5 steps required to restore data from an iTunes backup. First, you need to select which backup file you want to use. Although iPhone is used in the app's name, you can also restore backups from iPods and other iOS devices. Then, you choose the type of data you want to recover, by checking the appropriate box.
This app is free, but it has some limitations. For example, you can create a backup copy of only one type of data at a time. Only the paid version can do a complete data extraction in one step. If you simply need to get some photos back from your iPhone, then you probably don't need the paid version.
To install iPhone Backup Extractor, you need to install Mono as well. Mono allows you to run certain C++ apps on Mac OS X. It is a quick install, though.
It can recover data from iTunes backup of all iDevices--iPhone, iPad and iPod.
