How do I backup iPhone app data?

How do I backup my iPhone's App Data to iTunes without having it transfer all my apps to iTunes?

Hello bjsterilite,
I read your post, and it sounds as though you'd like to learn how to backup your iPhone. You can choose to exclude certain data, and not sync apps to iTunes. Here is an article which explains the process in greater detail:

  • How do i backup iphone 3g

    how do i backup iphone 3g without iTune on a new Mac? iTunes wants to do an update before it can sync, but if i do that it will erase everything on it.

    Don't do what xtremecarbon said.
    Do you have access to your previous iTunes library, maybe in a computer backup?
    If not, you'll need some 3rd party software to get your data off your iPhone... try TouchCopy.

  • How do you backup an app called Pen and Paper?

    How do you backup an app called Pen and Paper to ensure that the sheets created are saved?  I lost them when I tried to backup and sync my device, then upgraded to iOS 10.5.  What might have happened?

    When you backup your iPad, the app data (not the app) is stored in that backup.  When you updated, it should have restored the app data assuming you installed your backup when requested during the update.

  • How do you backup IPhone contact list to Computer (XP) PC Computer?

    How do you backup IPhone Contact List to PC Computer(XP) ?

    The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
    Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.
    Image attached may explain better.

  • I have an iPhone 4 now and I just got the iPhone 4s so how do I backup all my data from old phone to new?

    I have  the iPhone 4 and just upgraded to iPhone 4s how do I backup my data before I activate my iphone 4s? Please help!!

    iOS devices are designed to be sync'd with a single computer, so thinking of future updates, backups and so forth, yes, it would be best to do it on your computer - the one you normally use for iTunes.
    Note that backing up also does not backup everything in iTunes.  Contacts, for example, will be backed up into whatever contact management program you normally use on your computer (eg. outlook on a Windows PC, contacts on a Mac).
    If you have never backed up your iPhone, now is the opportune time to do so and learn how.  Not having a backup means if anything goes wrong with your phone (or you loose it or it is stolen), you risk losing everything on it.

  • ICloud backup of app data

    My son can't recall the restriction password he set up and I understand that you need to do a hard reset to change the password. If I back up to iCloud and then do a hard reset, will his app data (game levels, points, etc) for Clash of Clans transfer back to the iPod when the app is re-installed?

    I should also mention that if you happen to have a Mac you could also try creating an iTunes backup and then reading the passcode by following this guide: http://www.simonblog.com/2011/03/16/how-to-recover-forgotten-iphone-restrictions -passcode/.

  • IPhone Apps - Data Cache

    When I go the iphone menu:  Setting > General > Usage, I can see the size of each App.
    Most apps are relatively small in size, but the Info & data size grows everyday as I use the apps.
    example like Facebook, the FB app is only 14MB, but my data size is more than 1.4GB.
    beside deleting the app & reinstalling, is there any way to reset this data? ... well - Apple only has a Delete button on that page.
    I know deleting & reinstalling will bring the app back to 14MB, & there's no data lost on my FB page.  But this method is not so efficient when there are hundreds of apps' data cache to clear...
    anyone has any idea how to clear this data cache for apps?

    hi pvonk,
    thanks for the pointer, I've tried that but it didn't clear the App data cache.

  • How do i backup iphone on different computer

    I`d like to access my itunes library,apps & back-up my iphone on a different computer as my default computers internet has stopped connecting
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Hello ryan tate
    You would not be able to access your complete library and only purchased content is to sign in and authorize your Apple ID. If this is a friends computer, the best way to do this is to create a new user to keep your data separate from their data.

  • HT203421 How do I get iphone apps in the mac app store? Also, my apps from my iphone will not sync to my mac. Why is this?

    I've had my iphone 4 for a couple years, but I've recently purchased a new macbook air. For some reason, I do not have the option of syncing my apps from my iphone to itunes. I am currently running ios 6 on my phone, but I don't want to update until the apps are backed up to the computer. How do I resolve this? Also, is there a way to download and/or update iphone apps from the mac app store?

    Connect the iPhone and iTunes will open automatically. Then, go to iTunes menu (on the menu bar) > Devices > Transfer purchases, and all the content downloaded from the App Store and the iTunes Store will be transferred to the MacBook. Note that in iTunes 11 you can choose the iPhone at the top right part of your iTunes window.
    The Mac App Store is used to download Mac OS X apps, and the App Store is used to download apps for iPod touch, iPad and iPhone. You can't download apps for iPhone from the Mac App Store. Instead, you can download them from iTunes or from the iPhone

  • Looking for iPod/iPhone app data in Time Machine

    For some reason, when my iPod Touch upgraded to IOS 4.3.1, iTunes told me something went wrong and I had to restore to default settings.
    After that was taken care of, iTunes asked me if I wanted to restore from the most recent backup of my iPod Touch, and I said yes.
    But when I checked afterwards, all data from my apps had been lost. Before I did further research, I first tried to sync AGAIN ... thus overwriting any chance of finding my data.
    SO ... Now I would like to go back in Time Machine and find the iPod Touch app data from last night's sync, before this all happened.
    Where can I find this data on my hard drive so that I can recover it from a Time Machine backup?
    Thanks for any help.
