Can I restore without loosing application data?

Since I installed 3.0 on my original 2G iphone, when I remove it from the dock the keyboard clicks and lock sounded are muted. If I restart the phone or turn the clicks off then on they work again until I dock the phone.
I was thinking of restoring the phone, but have information in applications such as "Things" and "Upcoming" ect. that I can't loose. Is there a was to restore and not loose or back up my application databases?
Thanks for your help!

3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPhone's backup, which is created and maintained by iTunes as the first step during the sync process.

When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the options are restoring from your iPhone's most recent backup (which is the default selection), or as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, which must be manually selected.
If you want to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately beforehand to update your iPhone's backup if needed and to update any synced data such as contacts and calendar events.

  • Can I restore without loosing apps?

    iPod Touch 4G stuck on "connect to iTunes" screen. If my only option is to RESTORE the device, how can I do that without it deleting apps? Will I loose what I have built in Minecraft? Please help!

    Just restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If you previous synced to the computer then you may be able to recovery use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
    Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

    What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ? If the iTunes icon and cable then the phone is in recovery mode, in which case it's too late to take a new backup or to copy any content off the phone - you will have to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and reset it back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to the last backup that you took or just resync your content to it

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

  • How can i reformat my external hard drive without loosing any data?

    how can i reformat my external hard drive without loosing any data?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    It's impossible to format a hard drive without losing the data. One thing you can do before formatting is to copy the files from the external drive to your internal drive, and then, format the external drive. After formatting, copy the files to the external drive again, and everything will be as before formatting it

  • Phone has ben disabled. how do i turn it back on without loosing all data?

    phone has ben disabled. how do I enable phone without loosing all data?

    You don't, unless you have a recent backup of the phone. The only way to recover from a forgotten passcode is to restore the phone. You can then restore to your last backup. If you do not have a backup then you will lose your data. At this point you cannot create a backup.  iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

    Hi altagumasi,
    The pinhole reset button on the back panel of the device will reset user and network settings. It will not delete your data. Press the reset button for 15 seconds and the device should reboot. After the reboot, you will go through the initial configuration process.

  • Migration from PC to Mac without losing application data (savegames etc.)

    Hello everyone,
    I am migrating from from my old Windows PC onto a MacBook Pro, and I'm having difficulties with iTunes and my iOS devices (iPhone 4, iPad 1). Maybe someone here can help me out, I'd be ever so grateful.
    I set up iTunes on my MBP yesterday and logged in to my account. I replaced the empty iTunes Media folder with my old one (which contains all my music, videos and applications) via an external hard drive.
    First problem: it wouldn't import these files into my new library automatically. Just showed me an empty library I think I imported the entire iTunes Media folder manually yesterday via "Add to folder". The status right now (after some experimentation) is old iTunes Media folder copied, but nothing imported (that is, I have an empty library).
    When I connected my iPhone and tried to synch, I first had to authorize the MacBook for the iPhone. So far, so good. However when I tried to synch iTunes warned me that if I synch, all data on the iPhone will be removed and replaced by the data from my new local library (which is, of couse a copy of my old library, but doesn't store application data like savegames).
    I tried to do it via "transfer purchased items from iPhone", which took forever, but yielded the same result: a warning that all data on the iPhone would be erased.
    So the question is: How do I connect my iPhone and iPad to iTunes on my new Mac without losing application data like settings and savegames? And why is this so complicated and intransparent? I should be able to just copy my media, say "authorize this Computer, then add iPhone to the registered devices" and then proceed like nothing ever changed.
    I searched the net until three in the morning yesterday, but couldn't find anything that sounded safe enough to give it a try.
    Thanks in advance and best Regards,
    Nate
    PS: I do have the backup-folders from my old PC on a USB stick - are those going to help?

    I was fighting this battle the past few days myself; but actually it is REALLY easy now. See here:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html
    Then, once iTunes was on the Mac, I did this:
    1. On the Mac rename ...\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl as ...\iTunes\iTunes Library
    2. On the Mac delete ...\iTunes\iTunes Library Genius.itdb (Apparently the PC & Mac versions are not compatible - iTunes will just rebuild it later)
    3. Launch iTunes and immediately press & hold down the Option key until a dialog opens asking you to Choose a library. Navigate to the folder/drive you've copied from the PC and open ...\iTunes\iTunes Library.
    (thanks to turingtest2 for the above steps)
    That was it. Did it yesterday evening. All playlists, libraries, everything copied fine. No problems; no broken links. Perfect.

  • HT4113 i forgot my iphone4 passcode its not disabled what can i do without lose my data?

    i forgot my iphone4 passcode its not disabled what can i do without lose my data?

    Do as the manual states and restore the phone on the computer to which it most recently synched.  If you never synched to a computer or the computer is not available, you WILL lose data as you'll need to restore your phone as NEW.
    Next time, don't forget your password.
