Game progress

I updated my iPod to ios 5.1. If I download the apps I had on my iPod before I updated and connected it to iTunes and restore it from a backup, will my game progress be restored? If not how do I restore it?

Yes. Simply restore your iPod from the backup after downloading any apps you lost in the update process that are also no longer stored in your iTunes library as well. See this article for instructions on restoring from a backup if need be.

How do I sync game progress between iphone and ipad

I have several "long term progress" games on my iphone 5.I bought an ipad mini and would like to sync the progress of each game on both devises.I have have game game progress erased in the past, possible from incorrect procedure.
What is the best was to sync devises. I was told at the Apple store to sign in each game with Facebook and the progress would then be the same on either devise. Any proven methods that work ?

Hey Lkr100,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to sync calendar events between your iPhone and iPad (3rd gen). I would recommend using iCloud, which you can read about here:
Apple - iCloud - Your content. On all your devices.

How to transfer Game Center games progress from old iPad to new iPad ?

How do I transfer game progress to new iPad 2 from old iPad1, especially from Game Center? I got a new iPad 2 for Christmas, and have many games with a lot of time and not to mention money invested in them. How can I get my game levels back to the way theyare in ipad1. ??! Help!

If you use the same iTunes account then your scores will be carried over from Gamecenter, but not necessarily your progress. If you want the games to keep your progress, back up your original iPad and then, for your new iPad, "restore" it with the backup of your original. Your game progress should follow the backup, but no guarantees that it will for every app.

Hi bubbles213,
The best way to move information from one iOS device to another is to back up the device using iCloud or iTunes (or both), and then restoring the new device from it. This article will walk you through the steps:

Game progress not being synced between devices

I have an iPad 2 and iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3) and my game progress isn't being synced between devices. Both use the same Game Centre account and I have iCloud correctly set up on both devices. I do understand that some games don't support this feature but I have many games that definitely do yet they still don't sync. I did notice games that save data in the "Documents & Data" section do actually sync my progress between devices, but games like Cut the Rope, Where's my Water etc don't. I've tried searching online to find a fix for this issue but I can't find anything. Hopefully someone here has experienced the same thing and might be able to help, any help would be very much appreciated.

Are all games supposed to save data there?
Only the games that are compatible. Most aren't
That is why I referred you to their support. It can be happening by connecting to itunes, by connecting to game server, by connecting to Facebook, all depends on particulars of that game.

Two ways:
- Restore the iPad from the backup of the iPhone. Make sure all the apps are in the iTunes library.

How to transfer game progress to an new device?

I will soon be upgrading from a 3rd-gen iPod touch to an iPhone 5. I want to transfer all my apps from my iPod to my iPhone, and since most of my productivity apps are cloud-based, I'm not worried about losing data from them. I have several games, however, that don't sync with iCloud, like Angry Birds, and I'm wondering if restoring my iPhone from a backup of my iPod will carry over games progress.
So I basically have two questions:
A. Can I restore my iPhone from my iPod backup in iTunes?
B. Will this transfer game saves that are not in iCloud?
Hopefully someone's been in this situation before. Thanks in advance!

Transferring from old to new
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109
unfortunatly if your apple id is different there is no way you can trandfer the progress. If you want to change the icloud account on the new device to match the old device then it will transfer progress and after change it back to what you have- it worked for me.

After syncing my ipod touch with a new computer, will an icloud backup restore my app data including game progress?

I have an ipod touch which I have USB synced in the past on my Windows Vista laptop.
Now I want to stop USB Syncing with the laptop and USB start syncing instead with my Windows 7 Desktop machine instead.
Both PCs have the latest version of itunes running and I have transferred all purchases from the ipod to the Windows 7 desktop machine.
Home sharing is turned on on both PCs, so now their libraries appear identical.
The ipod has the latest IOS installed, and I have set up automatic icloud back ups for the ipod.
If i USB sync the ipod with the windows 7 desktop PC it warns me that all data will be erased, and replaced with data from that computer. I know that this will mean that all game progress is lost since it is not included in a USB sync backup and virgin copies of all the apps will be loaded onto the ipod.
My Question is this;
What is the best way to keep the app data intact on the ipod?
Do I simply carry out a USB sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC, let it wipe all the game save info away, and then resore an icloud backup onto the ipod?
Will this result in me being able to sync with the Windows 7 desktop PC and keep my game save data intact?
Thanks

Two ways.
- You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
- Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

Restore game progress deletes Siri

To keep game progress, I restored my new iPhone 4S to my old iPhone4 backup, only to find Siri gone. I've restored it back to 'new' and selected 'New iPhone' instead of restore to backup and Siri is back but I can't copy games and maintain my progress in them. Is there any way around this without losing Siri?

You are correct! You post inspired me to try one more time and bingo, it worked.
To recap:
I restored new 4s to 4 backup and Siri was gone
I reverted back to new iphone and selected 'new iphone' and Siri was back
I've just reverted back to new iphone and restored to 4 backup and Siri was there with game progress restored.
This implied the iPhone shipped had different installed sw to the restore through iTunes.

How to reset iPad without losing game progress

Hi! I would like to reset my IPad 2 back to factory settings, as if it is a new iPad, but I do not want to lose all my game progress. I have 2 games that I'm not sure what will happen to.
I tried researching this myself online and it seems like as long as I backup to icloud before resetting, I won't lose game progress. Is this true?
Thanks for the help!

Game Center only saves games achievement. It never saves game progress. It is up to the developer as to whether they have built in the feature to save game progress.
Not sure if this is true (I don't have that game) but after doing a quick google search, it appears you can save Sims Freeplay progress to the Cloud. I also think you can connect it to Facebook. Maybe someone else on the forum can verify this?

If I upgraded my iPad 2 to version 5.1, will my apps and game progress lost?

If I upgraded my iPad 2 to version 5.1, will my apps and game progress lost?

If you copy all your purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, then the update will be able to restore your apps and their content and settings back to the iPad after installing iOS 5. Before starting the update you should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.

If I restore my ipod will my game progress be lost

I need to restore my sons ipod, will his game progress be restored too or will it all be lost?

Not if you back it up, then restore the backup after restoring it. The backup includes app data. In the case of games, this normally includes game progress.
