Delete an in-game app to leave room for an update on another app.

I want to eventually reinstall the deleted app and play it from where I left off. Is it possible to do this through icloud? How can this be done?

You asked:
won't it erase what is currently on my iPod (i.e. current game/app purchases)?
Yes it will.
You can redownload your iTunes purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
There realy is not good solution for non-server games.

Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash. When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod. If you are, there is a better way. You can post back if you want more info...

I cannot delete a new "game" app that won't finish downloading, the normal way doesn't work because there is no X to delete it.

I have downloaded a slot machine app that has been "downloading" for days now. The normal delete method doesn't work because it does not have the X in the corner. Also I'm not able to download new apps because it just gives the waiting message. I can't highlight it so I can't double click on the main menu button to troubleshoot it across the bottom of the screen. I'm really having problems, so if you can help please do. Thanks for reading my question at the very least.

Firefox crashes every time I open it. Before it crashes, it offers me updates to 2 applications which I deleted when they caused me trouble before - one for FM radio, and another for music (can't remember the exact names)

I am having trouble replicating the problem - Firefox has stopped offering me the updates, and now crashes about 30 seconds after I open it. I can uninstall and reinstall, but I've done that before, and somehow the updates still find me. When I choose to report the crash, the report is apparently going to Apple, not Mozilla.

I had the same problem:

I have purchase or upgrade my iPad to 200GB.the problem is it shows 195 available balance ,but when I want to download games app there is notification coming I have no left GBstprage and can't downloads

purchased 200 GB but only manage to use 5GB balance shows 195GB but could'nt download the games app and others....notifixation show no enough storage.

You have purchased Cloud storage. The lack of storage is on the iDevice. You will need to move/delete content from the iDevice to make room for new content.

Using itunes backup, will this save progress in game apps

I have an ipod touch 4th gen. When I backup with iTunes on my PC, will it save app data, like game progress?
Or if I have to restore the backup, will I be starting over in all my games?

Game progress and other app data is saved in the backup. If you backup the device and then later restore that backup you should have your game state restored.
It is worth nothing that typically there is a single rolling backup per device. If you want to preseve snapshots of your device for recovering from a problem that you're not initially aware of then it may be good practice to backup and immediately restore say once a month. Restored backups are archived and a new rolling backup is created. You can delete older backups when you want to reclaim space.
Note also that if you remove an app and backup the device then the backup of the app's state is also deleted.
Some games/apps allow for game progress/data to be saved in the cloud associated with your Apple ID.

My Tom Tom app can't update as it tells me I haven't enough space for it, how can I make space for the update?

I didn't think that I have that much on my iPad , but I can't seem to understand how to make room for this update. If I delete the app and try to reload it will I have lost this app and data and have to re buy it

Hello there Frenchyfile,
I would suggest freeing up some space on your iPhone either from the Music app, or podcasts with this:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
From: iPhone User Guide page 61
          http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The same steps to delete a podcast apply for the podcasts app.
You can also free space by deleting other Apps on the iPhone
Remove app
If you are having issues with a particular app, try removing the app from your iPhone.
To avoid losing any app data, first back up your information.
Touch and hold any app icon on the Home screen until the icons start to jiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to remove. You may be prompted to rate the app.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your iPhone.
Click the Home button to cancel or stop deleting apps.
Proceed to the next step to reinstall your app.
From: Using apps on your iPhone
          http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/#section_5
Also you can delete photos or videos from your Photos app.
View your Camera Roll album: Swipe to the right, or tap the thumbnail image. You can also view your Camera Roll album in the Photos app.

Also keep in mind, if you bought this app from the App store, you can download it free of charge again if it needs to be re installed.

Very Extensive Gunner Z game data deleted? Included In-App purchases

My IOS game app, Gunner Z by Bitmonster, is no longer able to retrieve my very extensive saved game data which included literally over a year of play and several In-App purchases. This disappearance of my data did not follow any update to the game itself or the IOS System software. I was merely loading the game back onto my iPad 3 IOS 7.0.4 after I had to remove some of these larger apps to make room. I had my iPad set to do automatic backups from my iPad of my data including Gunner Z once every few days. Over more than a year that I used the app initially, I never had an issue restoring my game data. All I want is to have my data restored. I had cleared all the levels, had purchased the golden weapons upgrade, the Ceramic Armor upgrade, and had achievements and stats mirroring my roommates info .
Thank you for any assistance you can lend,
Jesse Preciado

Hi
My situation is similar to Darkendart, however I did not delete the game. I went to play it without having my wifi enabled, and as I believe this game requires wifi to save data. So I was directed to the tutorial. I realized my mistake and therefore closed the app and minimized it (double tapping home button) and reopened it with wifi enabled. The game stated that I had logged in with another device, and therefore must continue with its recent save. After restarting the app many times, it always came up with this message, so I went with it to see if it worked. Of course, I was directed to the tutorial and all of my data was gone, without the option of bringing it back. Although I had made no in-app purchases, I did have approximately 600 000 saved up cash and had proceeded well in the campaign, and I would very much like it back if possible (my trucks were called Kevin, Leroy, Clyde, Barbara and Gareth, all done up well - who wouldnt want THAT back) . My icloud data was up to date as well....
Thank you in advance for seeing to this issue and assisting me

Hi there,
Hoping someone can help. I purchased a Big Fish Game app from itunes for my Ipad 1. I decided to delete it and reinstall it as there were some errors in the game. When I visit itunes to reinstall it it doesnt give me the option to reinstall/re-download and has it marked as downloaded even though its not now on my Ipad. I have already deleted and re-downloaded something else so I believe I know how to do this. Its a paid app so I would rather not delete it from itunes as an option.
Hoping someone can help this newbie, thanks,

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

Hi there,
Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/levels in the games? But how do I back up the games data?
Please help. Scared to delete them to update and then not have the space to restore them and if I get them again will the levels/progress be gone?
Thanks Rachel

Connect your device to iTunes and do the update through iTunes. Using a computer takes much less space on your device than doing the update on your device.

Deleting game app - fresh install

I recently upgraded my iPhone (3G to 4) and I'm having functionality issues with a game/app--Caribbean Racing. It utilizes GameCenter, which is a permanent app on the iPhone. It's a sailboat racing game with nine different courses, and I can select different courses and it appears to "load" but it always reverts to the first course. The game also features a two-player wi-fi version which doesn't seem to work at all. The game's tech support told me to do a fresh install (I'm assuming this means deleting from phone and iTunes desktop and removing backup copies of software)--which I've tried to no avail. Is there any way that data is somehow remaining on my phone? Could it be related to game center? I'm even willing to repurchase the app at this point--could iTunes be reverting to an older version of the app when I redownload it from the store? It does remember that I purchased it. Thanks, Eric.

Almost impossible, so repurchasing almost certainly would be a waste. I've never seen or heard of the ITunes Store having and downloading any earlier version of the app.
About all I can suggest at this point is a restore of the OS on the iPhone and see if that helps. But not all developers come out with stable software. One of the good things about the App Store is it encourages new developers and low-priced apps, but the downside of that is that at in at least some cases apps are created by inexperienced developers with unknown ability to test and bug-fix. So it may not be something you can fix.
