How do I restore apps to multiple devices?

I will be giving iPads to my children for Christmas. How do I restore the saved data for each game/app to a specific device?
Here's my scenario. My wife and I each have an iPad on the same iTunes account. My children play the same game, but to preserve each other's progression, my son plays this game only on one iPad while my daughter plays it on the other.
When I setup the new iPads, how do I restore my son's saved data to his iPad and my daughter's data to hers?
Both children use each iPad so a full restore doesn't help.
Can I pick-and-choose what saved data from what app goes to which new iPad?

Thanks for clarifying that the situation is more complex than described in your original post.
No, you cannot pick and choose with standard restore procedures.
There are some PC/Mac programs that allow recovering certain things from backup files. Whether these can restore arbitrary app data I do not know. I suspect not but you can investigate further.
For example:

Hello, I can't scan out my lost data from iPad directly, doesn't it means that I only can recover my lost data from backup？

How do i separate apps on multiple devices

I have an IPhone with an Apple ID and user name. My 10 year old son has an IPod Touch and now a new IPad. Somehow when we set up his touch and pad, he got connected to my account. I say this because all of my apps, songs, contacts etc show up on his devices. I want his devices to be separate from mine so that when he downloads games they don't show up on my phone. Is this happening because his devices are connected to the same icloud or via Itunes?

It might be both.
If his apps, music and other purchased media are automatically downloading to your phone, it may be because you are using the same Apple ID in Settings>iTuens & App Store and you have Apps, Music, etc. turned on under Automatic Downloads. To stop this, turn off these items under Automatic Downloads.
If you are getting each other's contacts and other iCloud data on your devices it's because you are sharing the same iCloud account in Settings>iCloud. To fix this, one of you needs to migrate to a separate iCloud account with a separate ID (you can do this and continue to share the same ID for iTunes).
To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the device keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data. The new account will be assigned a new @icloud email address when you turn on Mail.
Once you are on separate accounts you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.
If you are sharing the same ID for iMessage and FaceTime you will also end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you are, the person that migrated to the new iCloud account should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with their new iCloud ID. Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How do i get apps on multiple devices with the same AppleID

I havev 34 iPads in my classroom. I need to add apps as I find them. Is there a way to put the apps on all of the iPads using one action instead of having to install the app on each iPad? It takes way too long to put individual apps on individual iPads after they have been inititally setup.

Buy a copy of OS X Server and use Profile Manager to set up the devices. You can use it to specify which apps they have on them. After you've made a change, the next time device connects to the internet it will automatically catch up with the new settings.

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

(Not) synchronizing apps across multiple devices; how to?

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but I would like to sync an iPhone and iPod touch with iTunes but do not want the same apps and content on both devices. I know I can set what to sync individually when it comes to movies, music and photos.
When I transferred my apps from iPod to iPhone (the iPod prior to this did not sync apps), all I did was press sync, then connected the iPhone and pressed sync and all (well, almost. 12 went missing, including two paid ones) went over. So it seems that whatever apps synchronized to iTunes will sync across all devices connected to it.
Which is good when I want to transfer but I don't want it now. I try to stop app sync between iPod and iTunes and it tells me "all existing applications and data will be erased". How do I manage apps on each device individually?
Cheerio,
Nicholas.

there's no music in my device (ipod touch) after restoring content because of a software issue. music is available in my laptop's cloud though. how do i restore music in my device?

hi! an error message showed on my device last week and Apple support helped me restore the software on my device. Syncing went well and all my apps were available after. However, when I looked at my music in my device, it did not contain anything. The songs were in Itunes on my laptop and when I tried to play them they did not play. But, it says music is available for my account in the cloud. When I switched to the cloud, I was able to play my music already. But everytime I synced, the music from the cloud are not transferred to my device. Most of the music that I have are from other sources. How do I download those again to my device? I tried what I did before which was to copy the song from my laptop then edit paste it to iTunes but this did not work like before when automatically it becomes available on my device.
pls help. thanks!

Correct, but if you have your apps and app settings set to sync with your Google Account, they should have the data with them.

Managing installed apps for multiple devices

Is there a way to create an "app playlist" in order to easily create a common set of installed apps across multiple devices? I'm tired of having to install the same app on each of my kids devices. Also, I don't want to enable auto install new apps because I don't necessarily want my kids to get apps that I'm installing on my devices.
Thanks

The un-compatible updates will not install on the iPod.
Make sure that you retain a copy of the version that is compatible with iOS 4.2.1 since you can only redownload the latest version version from the App store.
I would backuyp the library to an external HD by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
Note that when you update an app on the iPod and then sync, the update apps is also synced to the iTunes library.

How can I restore App Store and apps

How can I restore App Store and my purchased apps

If you mean that you can't find the App Store app on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ? If it is hidden then unhide it and the app should then appear on your iPad's homescreen, and you can then re-download your apps via the Purchased tab in it.

In-App purchase multiple devices...is there a limit?

I'm looking to purchase in-app purchases, and I know that Non-replenishable apps can be transferred to multiple devices authorised with the same iTunes Store account. I was just wondering if there is a limit to how many devices these can be transfered to, as we have around 70 devices needing the in-app purchase?

Hello eagjdw
You can keep the one Apple ID for purchases and then create another one for a personal account for contacts and calendars. The article below will assist further

HT1495 how can i sync aps on multiple devices on one computer

Trying to use multiple devices on same computer but don't want the devices to have all the same aps. how can i seperate that without having to check the aps i want each time a sync?

Assuming the photos are in an iPhoto Library on the Air and you want to import them into your iPhoto Library on your Powermac there is an application that can copy all photos in the Air library that are not in your Powermac library into your Powermac library. However, no keywords or other metadeata willl be brought over with them and they will come over in a new event each time you run it. Take a look at: Sync iPhoto libraries | SyncPhotos (formerly iPhotoSync) | Haystack Software.
There's another application, iPhoto Library Manager, that will let you copy events or albums from the Air library to the Powermac library. However, you will have to select the events/albums you want to copy. It's not automatic. This method will copy keywords and other metadata along with the photos.

How do I restore missing sound output device in system preferencces?

How do I restore a missing sound output device in the System Preferences. My MacBook Pro only shows a Digital output in the Sound pane and a red light at the Digital Output Port.

If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
