How do I update my ipod touch 4g from ios 4.3.5 to ios 6.0.1 without losing my app data(such as my progress in games)

i have a ipod touch and want to update from ios 4.3.5 to ios 6.0.1(the newest). how do i do that without losing the progress in my games that i downloaded from appstore? Pls Help!

Backing up saves your settings and other stuff on core apps but it  doesnt save your appdata(that's is the main thing i am looking for) so it wont restore that when i restore it  from the backup i create and this article too says it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972 so i would like too know how do i keep my data stored in apps from the appstore if there is any way to keep the data. Thanks anyway. If anyone else knows a way then please help as i accidentally clicked on this solved my question. :|

  • I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How do i get my progress back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How can i, if possible, get my progress back?

    You need to restore from backup. The backup contains app data like game progress.  Make sure that autosyncing is turned off otherwise whe yu connect iTunes will make a back that does not contain the data.  To to that go to iTunes>Preferneces>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods....syncing. 
    Yu can alsolook at the date/time of the backup on that screen and see if it might contain the data.

  • HT4623 After I update my ipod touch 4g from ios 5.1 to 6.1.5 its always keeping restart until it die. can anyone help?

    After I update my ipod touch 4g from ios 5.1 to 6.1.5 its always keeping restart until it die. can anyone help?

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can i update my ipod 1st generation from IOS 4.2.1 to 5.0

    how can i update my ipod from IOS 4.2.1 to 5.0

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the first generation iPod touch and original iPhone is 3.1.3.
    The maximum iOS version for the second generation iPod touch and the iPhone 3G is 4.2.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.
    If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

  • How do I upgrade my iPod touch to IOS 5.0.1 without losing my app data?

    I want to upgrade my iPod touch (4.3.3) to IOS 5.0.1, but I don't want to lose my app data (Tiny Tower, etc.)
    I transferred all my purchases to the host computer. I also backed up my app data. Before I update the IOS software on my iPod touch, I'd like to find out if the app data on my iPod will be erased as part of the upgrade.
    If so, will a restore from backup restore the app data?
