Question about iphone apps and saved data.

So let's say I'm playing a game from the app store on my iphone and I beat it. Now I want to buy a new game but I don't have enough space to keep them both on my phone. So I delete the old one from my phone knowing it will still be on my mac. Then I play the new game and beat it and I start wanting to play that old game again. So I put the old one back on my phone and I lost everything I did before. Why? Is there a way I can take an app off my iphone without losing all the saved data?

Here's how it works (from page 179 of the iPhone iOS4 User Guide).  You can delete apps you install from the App Store. If you delete an app, data associated with the app is no longer available to iPhone, unless you reinstall the app and restore its data from a backup.
You can reinstall an app and restore its data as long as you backed up iPhone with iTunes on your computer. (If you try to delete an app that hasn’t been backed up to your computer, an alert appears.) To retrieve the app data, you must restore iPhone from a backup containing the data.
To restore from a backup, see page 257 of the iPhone iOS4 User Guide

  • How to transfer iPhone apps and their data to new MacBook Pro?

    I just got the new Retina Macbook Pro. Before, I synced my iPhone with my iMac. Now I want to sync my iphone with my new RMBP instead. I transfered my music and applications to the new Mac. My music syncs to my iPhone just fine, however, if I click to check to sync my iPhone applications to this computer then a warning message pops up saying all my existing apps and data will be deleted. I aready clicked transfer purchases to my new Mac, so all my apps are already on the computer.
    But how do I get my apps to sync with my new Mac, without deleting all my apps data?

  • Question about iPhone/iPod and playing songs

    Hi all,
    This is my first question here, so please be patient with me if I'm rambling, or this is posted in the wrong forum.
    I've recently downloaded a language learning course and want to put it on my iPhone so I can learn Italian as I'm on the bus. While it's great having this course at my fingertips, I want to keep these particular audio files from playing when I'm listening to music on the iPod.
      So my question(s) is this..is it possible to somehow ADD files to the iPhone (iPod) while excluding them from the general iPod playlist? I don't want to have to skip over these files each time I'm listening to music, but I still want to keep the files on the iPhone(iPod). If it is possible, how would I go about it?
    Thanks for all help!
    Cheers!

    There's a work around by using playlists in computer's iTunes.
    In iTunes, create one playlist with all the songs you want on the iPhone.
    Create another with your language courses.
    Sync with the selected playlists in iTunes when connected to the iPhone.
    (With iPhone connected and selected in iTunes, in Music tab select Sync Music, Selected playlists, artists, ... and checked the two playlists mentioned above.  Click Sync button.)
    Now on iPhone you can choose music or language course playlist without interferences.

  • Question about Mail app and domain name please help

    Hi,
    I wasn't sure where to post this question so figured this would be the best area. I have a website which uses bluehost as it's web hoster. My email is set up through them, such as [email protected]
    In my Mail app, I have the POP thing set up so when ever someone emails me it goes right to the Mail app. It works great for my personal computer, but when I go to work and go on other computers is where the problem is.
    When I am on a random computer at work, I have to sign onto my webhosting site and then use squirrel mail. It is quite a hastle and is not the best. I would love to use gmail, but still keep my domain name I have.
    One co-worker mentioned just forwarding all my [email protected] emails to my new gmail email. There are issue's with doing this because if I'm at work and email someone with gmail it will use that email address. Also, I want to be able to read all my sent messages from any computer including the sent messages that were within my Mail app. Is this possible?
    Besides forwarding is there a better solution? It is sort of hard to explain. Basically I want my [email protected] address to be run through gmail, be able to access on any computer, have it be the only address in my mail app, and most importantly have the sent messages from mail app to be able to be read on all computers.
    I think gmail lets you make a domain name email, without gmail being included at the end. But I already have the email address made...am I able to just swap it? And keep all my mail inbox info?
    What's the best sollution for my problem?
    Thanks

    You would need to login to your web mail account to reply so that the email came from "[email protected]"
    I try to get a gmail address that is close to the domain name like - [email protected] - so that I don't have to bother opening web mail as it is a pain.
    I forward to Gmail and then Mac Mail because their spam blocker is the best.
    A lot of web mail addresses bounce mail because the capacity is limited and the owners don't go into their control panel to launch their web mail and clear out the old stuff. Lawyers, in particular, are famous for this. For this reason I don't set web mail to keep a copy of the forwarded mail. If my web mail gets full of spam and they start bouncing then its not my problem!

  • Question about Address app and iPhone

    I have the fully updated Tiger OS, and I want to start putting all of my contacts in the Address application (iLife '06). A few questions:
    1) Even thought it's an older OS and older iLife (my ibook refuses to die), will the Address app sync just fine with the iPhone? (I'm getting the one reportedly coming out this summer.)
    2) Can I send out blanket e-mails (with images) from the iPhone?
    3) Just a general Address application question: Can I assume that even if a new iLife comes out soon, I'll still be able to transfer all my contacts just fine from iLife '06?
    Thanks for any feedback.

    The OS X Address Book app is not part of the iLife package. iLife 09 was just released, so I wouldn't expect iLife 10 until next year, which has nothing to do with the Address Book application.
    No one knows what the minimum OS X system requirements will be for the next generation iPhone and we won't know until Apple makes an announcement. I think it is doubtful that Tiger will not be supported but we will know for certain when Apple makes an announcement and not until that time.
    What do you mean by blanket email?

  • Question about iphone 4 and data plan..

    I have the 3GS with unlimited data.
    I am getting the iphone 4.
    I will be giving 3GS to wife.
    Will the unlimited data plan only stay for the 3GS?
    Or can it be transferred to the iphone 4?
    Or can I get unlimited plan for both since I'm an existing customer?
    Thanks!!

    You can continue with your unlimited plan on the new phone. Your wife will have to choose one of the new data plans for the 3GS.

  • Simple question about iPhone backups and password

    I can't remember the password to my iPhone-backup in iTunes. But, phew, I haven't lost any data, as I have my iPhone with all data intact. So I deleted the backup in iTunes, and tried to start a fresh backup with a new password. But alas, that doesn't seem to be possible (it backs up, but doesn't ask for a password, and when trying to uncheck encryption I get asked for a password).
    Does this mean iTunes now won't let me back up and retrieve the data I actually have on my very own phone? And does it mean that I now have two options:
    a. Keep on using my iPhone, keeping the data on it, but without the ability to backup and retrieve the backups, or
    b. restore and set up my iPhone as a new device, losing all my data

    If you update you will not be able to go back to a previous iOS version. The iOS is not included in the backup.  The following link gives details of what is included: iTunes: About iOS backups

  • A question about Adobe Illustrator and saving layers....

    I use illustrator to create animation art.  Basically, I use each layer as create a seperate frame of art - it's a great wayto constanctly check to see if my character's movement is smooth.
    However, this often to leads to files that are hundreds of layers deep.  I then have to save each layer seperately - this can literally take hours.  Is there any way to automatically save each layer as it's own separate file?

    Thank you for the info.  After a bit of experimenting, I believe that  I've
    actually found a use for Fireworks, That software converters the layers 
    into bitmaps, and PNG looks terrific if I don't change the size.  Until I 
    learn how to convert vectors, I may use Fireworks for long, frame by frame 
    animation, and bite the bullet when I want to resize or tween artwork.

    Try  bring the whole file into Photoshop Extended and use the time line

    You can  probably write a script or have one written for you and attach it

  • Basic questions on iPhone apps. Please help!

    Hey I have a few semi-basic questions about iPhone apps. If you know the answers to any of them please respond as it would help me ton. Even if you dont know the exact answer, it'll help me with any input. Trapster is a good example of what im looking for because it uses a map and it receives/sends small amounts of data constantly.
    1) How much on average does it cost to hire a group of people to code an app for you. Specifically, how much do you think the app Trapster took to program? Are there any specific other apps you know how much it took to code? I need estimates, because I have nothing. A number like 50,000 would help a ton more other then saying "it depends" .....
    2) Apps like Trapster, send and receive small amounts of data all the time? What controls all of this data? Im guessing a server. But what are the server's specs? How many? Price per month?
    3) With 3.0 SDK now out, you are now allowed to implement google maps into 3rd party applications. Now I know you cannot use it for turn-by-turn navigation. But can you still use the directions feature already on google maps? Can you still use the search feature to search for a restaurant as well? Or maybe you can just see the map and thats it. Does anyone know exactly what you can use with google maps or know where there is more information? Ive tried everywhere.
    4) Just tell me if this is correct: You can add advertisements into your app. On average, for every 1000 times your app gets opened, you get about 1.00-2.00. So if your app gets opened 2,000,000 times you get $2,000 from advertising if you get 1.00/1000. Is that accurate as an average?
    5) Since 3.0 now supports push notifications, would you be able to have anything at all running in the backround? For example, on trapster, if you approach a red light camera, the app beeps. With 3.0, if you are on the home screen and approaching the camera, is there a way of getting the iphone to beep even though your just on the iphones main screen or any other screen? Im guessing not because in order to receive the push the iphone needs to know your current location and the location of the camera, which is why the app would need to be running. Incase im wrong is there a way of doing this?
    6) If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?
    Thanks!

    >"If an app is free and does not do advertising, does it make any money? If so how?"
    Of course.
    It's called 'reputation earned'. You negotiate your future based on attention from something (a free app?) that amazes the known world. Could be a book deal after you spend your young/old life crossing the divide - could be a marriage proposal that brings great wealth - could be a cabinet position with a station in a foreign tax haven.
    Use your imagination.
    As for cost, pull a number out of your hat and then double it...then double it again. Same goes for time, staff and delays.

  • Question About Sharing Apps Between My iPhone and My Wife's iPhone

    Hi, I have a question about downloading apps to my iPhone.
    I ordered two iPhone 3g's - one for my wife and one for me, and I've discovered that when I download an app (even free ones) on my iPhone and then later sync it to iTunes, my wife cannot put it on her phone. However if I download it on iTunes on my computer and later sync it to my phone, then my wife is able to sync it to her phone as well. It's no big deal when they are free because she can just go get it if she wants it. I haven't purchased any apps yet, but is there a way to be able to give my wife apps that I purchase on my iPhone? Or do I need to purchase all of my [pay] apps and songs on iTunes on my computer to ensure we both have access? Or do I have it all wrong completely LOL?? This rights management stuff is confusing.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Jimmy

    I had my iTunes account and phone before I got my wife's hers. When I first started, I synced hers from her account on my computer brought in my libraries and authorized her phone as one of the 5 allowed. She had all purchased apps and music. Over time we each bought music or apps on our seperate accouts. Of course, we told each other about cool apps or music we bought and wanted on our phone. When I went to sync iTunes was going to delete all music and apps and sync with the library I was logged into. Didn't want that, only work around I have found is to copy new music or new apps from one library to the other. Updating on the phone is also difficult because you can't switch between accounts so updates have to be done at the computer for apps bought under different accounts. I am sure there is a better way to do this and ask for an insight anyone would have. I hope it works out.

    If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted.  The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
